North Carolina. Have you heard of it? As far as states go, it’s a pretty big deal. So you’d think if you were one of two major political parties you wouldn’t want your candidate for governor to alienate as many ...
I wish I did not know the name Nex Benedict. At least, I wish I didn’t know the name for the reason that so many of us now do. On Feb. 7, Benedict was beaten by three students in a ...

Well shame the fuck on me for giving Gov. Mike DeWine (R-Ohio) any praise at all for vetoing a bill aimed at gender-affirming care for minors. I should have known better. DeWine really did veto the bill after reportedly talking ...
As 2023 draws to a close, we can count on Congressional Republicans to be doing the important work of the American people. Ha, just kidding. They are currently focused on… impeaching President Joe Biden based on zero evidence. They’ve got ...
Well, they did it. They expelled George Santos from Congress. I honestly didn’t think it would happen. Let’s pour one out for George “Proud Gay Thief” Santos, as “Saturday Night Live” called him. I have to admit, I did not ...
I threw out my back today. I have only myself to blame. I was doing something dangerous, something I should have asked someone to help me with. And that something was bending slightly to get a towel from under the ...

My wife and I went to the movies recently and managed not to vape, take selfies, act disruptively or grope each other. These things are, as I understand, traditional acts of heterosexual mating and/or cries for help when one is ...
I just learned that there will not be a second season of “A League of Their Own,” and that is a big bummer. Abbi Jacobson is a goddess and a genius and a star and this is an outrage. To ...
Hot take: Ronnie Radke is a joke and Falling In Reverse sucks. Actually, I take that back. I would hate to have my calling Radke “a joke” give anyone the mistaken impression that he is in any way humorous. He ...
When I was in high school my twin sister and our friends and I liked to “parking lot dance party” — and, yes, I am using that entire phrase as a verb because we didn’t GO to parking lot dance ...

Another day, another mass shooting in the United States. Actually, that’s being optimistic as there have been more mass shootings than there have been days in 2023 so far. That’s a lot. And no other country — aside from countries ...
They say you can tell a lot about a man by what motivates him to firebomb a building. And if the man says his motivation was a drag queen story hour, that tells you he’s a Nazi. Such is the ...
The concerted effort to ban books that offend Christian fascist sensibilities rages on across the United States. While I suspect the 2023 numbers will be even higher, 2022 was The Year of Banned Books, according to the American Library Association, ...
In the grand tradition of the Log Cabin Republicans siding with people who hate them, they have asked far-right commentator and self-proclaimed internet troll Isabella Riley Moody to be one of their 2023 Outspoken Ambassadors. LCR describes their ambassadors as ...
