Alright 2016, that’s quite enough. It’s only April and already the In Memoriam rolls that will play at next year’s award shows are going to have us on the floor balling. There will no doubt be countless words written about Prince this week. I hardly think I can say it all, but maybe we can…
It seems the Obama Administration is making good on its campaign to prevent sexual assault on college campuses — and by proxy provide teachable moments about rape culture to the entire nation. Earlier this week, the White House released the first report (PDF) from the newly created sexual assault task force. In tandem with the…
I’ve been ruminating on innovation, art, and why things touch us. By now you’ve heard about Beyoncé’s self-titled, secret album that was released late last night.

Was it just me or was Oscar-fest 2012 one of the most sexist in recent history? I know I’m a bit late in getting this posted, so let’s just dive right in… Angelina Jolie: Let’s just go right to it, right away. Forget the leg coverage, which is it’s own kind of sexism, when you…
It’s the last sketch in this clip, but worth the wait. There’s nothing quite like seeing Oprah clock someone over the head with a lamp. Hilarious! PS: Stay tuned for some belated post-Oscar thoughts later today…
