Camille Paglia is my spirit animal. She’s blunt, she’s honest and she understands the true meaning of equality and the importance of both mens and women’s rights. She herself admits she’s broken every gender norm, but also warns about the dangers of devaluing masculine virtues in this interview with the Wall Street

Some of our more faithful readers know this already, but I’m hell on phones. I broke an iPhone (twice). I beat up a Speck Candyshell Satin (the finish wore off, and the bottom started to crack from taking it on and off), and a Speck FabShell (fabric started to peel). Back in

SPOILER-FREE (aside from general plot from the trailer) After seeing the trailer for Her a few months back, I thought the movie looked terrifyingly brilliant.  A lonely man named Theodore (Joaquin Phoenix) purchases a copy of the first ever Artificially Intelligent Operating System (who names herself Samantha, voiced by Scarlett Johansson), who

This past weekend, the Race City Rebels played the Naptown Roller Girls in a battle for hometown bragging rights. It was an awesome bout, how could it not be? The number 9 ranked team in the Men’s Roller Derby Association (MRDA) skating against the number 12 team in the Women’s Flat Track
