People are so unaware of their own motives. I have almost never seen widespread moral condemnation of a piece of media that, the moment you scratch the surface of the criticism, didn’t turn out to be because of personal grievance, resentment of popularity, and subjective taste.

It is Pride Month.
Throughout this month, I will be sharing the stories of how Canadians fought for equality.
Today it is the story of John Herbert.

This summer’s hot new craze is nonconsensual body modification. All the kids are kidnapping each other and turning their friends into crimes against nature.

I don't really mean this in a good way. I think the people that succeed in creative careers are outliers, because they're freakishly committed.
