Attack the System- Mass Incarceration: The Whole Pie 2017 July 21, 2017An interesting new study. By Peter Wagner and Bernadette Rabuy Prison Policy Initiative Wait, does the United States have 1.3 million or more than 2 million people in prison? Are most people in state and federal prisons locked up for drug offenses? Frustrating questions like these abound because our systems of confinement are so fragmented and controlled by […]Keith Preston
- Pentagon study declares American empire is ‘collapsing’ July 21, 2017By Nafeez Ahmad Medium.Com An extraordinary new Pentagon study has concluded that the U.S.-backed international order established after World War 2 is “fraying” and may even be “collapsing”, leading the United States to lose its position of “primacy” in world affairs. The solution proposed to protect U.S. power in this new “post-primacy” environment is, howe […]Keith Preston

- Wonder Woman Is Too Fucking Cheerful for a World War One Movie June 14, 2017To my delight, the new Wonder Woman movie was visually stunning, and was not marred by page after page of hackneyed feminist dialogue.

- "Please allow me to humbly preface my opinion with an admission of my privilege..." August 2, 2015I was reading some recent thoughts on sex work from Brooke Magnanti, which carried the obligatory disclaimer, "I am by any measure an incredibly privileged white, well-educated, successful ex-sex worker & as such a poster child of choicey-choiceness." Having not done much of reading of sex worker blogs in the last few months, I was especially s […]Furry Girl

- Meet Mr. Porn July 21, 2017Earlier this week, I interviewed Greg Lansky. You can read about our conversation here. One question that didn't make it into the final version: "What's artistic about a girl with a dick up her ass?" I can't remember the answer. I suppose, as ever, the art is in the eye of the beholder. Or, in this case, the eye of the pornographer. […]Susannah Breslin

- Ideas which won’t work May 25, 2017Time to make myself unpopular with some people… Following the awful events in Manchester on Monday evening emotions are, understandably, running high. Sadly the same cannot be said for thought processes – although this hardly uncommon even when 22 men, women and children haven’t been brutally slain by a religious fanatic. Ignoring the usual twaddle […] […]Misanthrope Girl
- A problem we can solve January 9, 2017Over at City Metric, John Elledge is telling London commuters to stop worrying and learn to love today’s tube strike and the unions involved in it. Whilst he correctly notes that it’s not just the drivers who have withdrawn their labour, he has this paean to why what is a mostly dull (but occasionally very […]Misanthrope Girl
- The price of a soul September 29, 2016Judas sold out for the sum of 30 pieces of silver. Two millennia later it would appear that the former director of Liberty, Shami Chakrabarti, has decided that her price is a peerage and a position in the shadow cabinet. Is that, adjusted for inflation, more or less than Judas got?Misanthrope Girl

- Thoughts on the Esoteric Origins of Western Scientific Thought June 25, 2016Newton was an alchemist. Napier a numerologist. Kepler an astrologer. And Giordano Bruno — Neil DeGrasse Tyson’s poster child martyr for scientists persecuted by irrationally superstitious and corrupt institutions — was an occultist. The esoteric, the obscure, the fringe, the poetic, and the spiritual permeate the human intellectual landscape, both in the hu […]Ismael Sarepta

- …the paradox of “MGTOW”… July 21, 2017Okay, we’ve seen feminist make comments along the line of “If MGTOW are really going their own way, why don’t they, like, ride their motorcycle into the sunset and stop complaining endlessly about “going their own way.” The retort so-called MGTOW give is that they need to warn other men about the dangers of marriage.

- Raw Concepts: The Jumpzone June 6, 2014Jumpzone is a phrase I’ve coined, but that I think needs to enter widespread usage. In fact, if someone can create an urbandictionary entry for it for me I’d be grateful. A jumpoff is a girl used strictly for sexual validation and no other type of connection. The jumpoff is the female equivalent of the […]T. AKA Ricky Raw
