Dear Coke Talk: On your weight. →
dearcoketalk: Are you judgmental of overweight women? Do you think heavier girls can be just as sexy and desirable as our skinny counterparts? Overweight. Underweight. The terms are judgmental in and of themselves. They imply a standard. That’s fine if the standard is based on health and well being, but…

Slavoj Žižek on Wikileaks →
youmightfindyourself: In one of the diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks Putin and Medvedev are compared to Batman and Robin. It’s a useful analogy: isn’t Julian Assange, WikiLeaks’s organiser, a real-life counterpart to the Joker in Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight? In the film, the district attorney, Harvey Dent, an obsessive vigilante who is corrupted and himself commits murders, is...

joshuabizley asked: Oh that was thoughtless of me... No, I don't think I'm able to edit what you've said so I've deleted the post. It have been possible to fiddle around with the html on a computer, but I'm presently using the internet on my mobile and have very limited functionality - that's also why I haven't done much with the community tumblr yet.

Dear Coke Talk: On chinese mothers. →
dearcoketalk: I recently read the article Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior. I am Asian American. I attest that this is parenting method is a crapshoot as much as any other style of parenting, though I suppose me simply saying that proves very little. I see value in whatever she is trying to teach her… As always, another excellent analysis by Coke Talk.

Tumble DC 25: Freedom of speech is the best... →
themarriageofadeadblogsing: I think this is a really, really naive thing to say. For a start, Freedom Of Speech is not a right everywhere. I live in the UK, where my freedom of speech is not protected. I can, in theory, say whatever the hell I want, but it is not a constitutionally enshrined… The last comment on this post (made by Jonathan Cunningham, I believe) is rather confusing. I...

A New Look at the Left Wing: The Ideological... →
newleft: Being not entirely certain about my financial future in college, grad school, and beyond, I try to keep my eye out for scholarships. Inevitably, a select few jump out immediately when I browse the listings; their enormous quantity makes them hard to miss. $40,000 for writing an essay? It certainly… Great post for those unaware of the ideological nature of many scholarships.
