So Oberlin College is having trouble with the KKK. They iissued a release that included this...

This has been another event in a string of several reflecting a terrible pattern of racism, prejudice, queerphobia, anti-semitism and other bias attacks that are happening on Oberlin's campus

Is it just me, or does queerphobia itself sound like a term someone would use by someoen who was afraid of homosexuals. Like, the term is homophobia. It's like someone talking about racial equality for the "coloreds." Has anyone else here ever heard the term queerphobia. I did a quick search and I see it's used online, but I've never heard nor read the term before I saw the statement above.

Neither have I.

Was that statement released by the college? Might be an attempt to "reclaim the language".

Currently at the Lindsey Stirling STL concert. Good gosh this guy doing the warmup for her is F'N TERRIBLE.

I want to sell my 360, but I have so much Rock Band DLC on my HDD that I can't bring myself to do it.

Today is the first time in years that I got a weekday off.

Morning OTT. (Crickets)

The regulars from here seem to have just vanished. This was my breakfast entertainment, man.

Man, you arent kidding...this place is barren.

I know what you mean. I sold my slim, but I still have an older box. I thought about selling my intstruments over Spring Break, but it is going to be hard to want to part with them. I can't think of anything aside from Gears 1 that I enjoyed this generation as much as RB. I think I bought something like 4 or 5 hundred songs over the lifespan of that series.

They've all been snowquestered.

I''ve got around 20 gigs of songs on my 360 for rock band.

Lots of movie theater time for me right now. A Good Day to Die Hard was good. Jack the Giant Slayer was fun. Going to watch Dead Man Down with a friend and I got to take my little sister to see Oz the Great and Powerful sometime in the next week.

Has anyone been watching House of Cards? i'm loving it, but I kind of agree with this articled that argues dumping it all out at once has some negative consequences: http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/...e-cards-gamble

I read an article a few days ago about that same subject and I do agree that we miss out on the shared experience with the whole season out at once. I haven't seen House of Cards but I'm late to the party with the Walking Dead. About to finish up season 2 on netflix but I can't really discuss it with friends since they either haven't seen it or are up to date with the new episodes.

You should watch it next. It's really great.

I'll check it out.

I've watched the first three episodes. I didn't think it was that good until I just watched the peach episode. That episode three was great.

I still need to get around to house of cards. Im like 4 episodes behind on the Americans so I need to do thst first. Just caught up on Justified. That show is so good.

Yep.

I'm finished with the first three seasons of The Shield. While I'm a little disappointed because I'm vaguely aware of the fates of Lem (I've seen you post something about it) and Shane (I remember reading an article that compared the finale to the Benoit situation), it's still such a good show.

The season 3 finale is so ing good. The first part of season 4 lags with Glenn Close, but Anthony Anderson is absolutely amazing when he shows up.

Oh and Season 5 is one of the best in the series. Forest Whitaker absolutely destroys. He is such a tour de force that it still drives me up the wall that he wasn't nominated for an Emmy/Golden Globe for his role on The Shield. Glenn Close got a Golden Globe and her performance didn't even come close to how good Whitaker was.
