So, Tennessee apparently tried to make a law. It went oh-so-well: (c) (1) The general assembly recognizes the sensitivity of particular subjects that are best explained and discussed in the home. Human sexuality is a complex subject with societal, scientific, psychological, and historical implications; … Continue reading

Supertraitor
I am literally the last person on the planet who should be discussing comic books, but I couldn’t help noticing today that a new issue of Superman has him renouncing his American citizenship.
Blog Theme, an open discussion
I’ve been thinking a bunch about whether this blog has a consistent theme/message to its politics. We’re certainly left of center, although I think each of us have distinct and sometimes contrasting views on the events of the day. If there’s a … Continue reading
