Doors are tough. I’m sure they can inflict more damage than they take, even endure the sh*t stains hitting someone like Doodyh David Koch would leave on them…

I love this comment:
“I was very saddened this morning to learn that David Koch didn’t die a lot sooner.”

This is unkind, so I’ll just whisper.
Overall I give Koch dying 4 stars. Not as satisfying as Phyllis Schlaffly, but close.

The Murdoch-owned WSJ insists we applaud Koch’s corpse for all the money he directed to “charity” during his life as if that made him a better person than the rest of us.
Why haven’t you donated a billion dollars to charity, @ChickieD?
Obviously you don’t care about stuff the way he did /s

Princess Weekes" articles always start off as something I agree with and then wind up cringing at. That she had a Masters degree does not compliment higher education.
I just yelled “Russia counts as Western culture because of Peter the Great, and it’s not Russia in general, but Moscow-centric!” at my phone.
Harold Bloom was presented as the old guard which was giving way to new ways of looking at literature even back when I was an undergrad in the 90s.

Thanks for posting… he sounded like a real shithead. And I hate the whole concept of a “western canon” in literature, honestly.

The whole idea that it is white men’s place to decide what is worthy of inclusion I am just so over.

His comments about Alice Walker… ugh…

Well, he gets maybe 5 minutes daily out of the flames for not dissing LeGuin, but an hour daily of hotter flames for dissing Lessing. I’d imagine he’s already getting scorched for Walker.
