Wednesday roundup

All I can say is that I'm especailly grateful to not be spending TG at my parents' house, where Fox News blares, in the aftermath of the Ferguson non-indictment. I'm also very happy not to be on Facebook, where some parents are mommyjacking it.

The Economist actually gets it right.

How to talk to white kids about racism.

The Wrap's egregiously horrendous Cosby op-ed.

The military's egregious enabling of sexual assault.

The ACLU is on the wrong side of online death threats.

There's cruelty in your butterball. If you must have turkey, invest in a less f*ed up one. Or revel in the many excellent reasons to go vegan, like Cory Booker has. You have lots of options, one of which is very Seattle.

When students are wiser than the president of their college.

Michael Ignatieff on politics.


Some woman wakes up, realizes body image is a feminist issue, womansplains it to feminists at large.

Your journal may have a quality control problem when you accept this.

Gratitude is great for you.

Whiskey is pretty.

Parade floats are a waste of helium.

Bad restaurant reviews are fun.

Really, Michigan? What the f* is pretzel jello? And twinkie cake??

Why am I not surprised that Russian airline passengers have to push their own plane.
