Tess Holliday in lingerie on the cover of Cosmo is a perfect example of how the sexuality of fat people is valid, present, and obvious. Ya’ll, she looks good.

Written by JOE RAMSEY Posted November 5, 2018 Filed Under: NEWS+OPINIONS, Op-Ed

HOW THE BOSTON GLOBE TROLLED THE AMERICAN MEDIA

Written by CHRIS FARAONE Posted August 14, 2018 Filed Under: COLUMNS, Dear Reader, Media Farm, NEWS+OPINIONS

AS A MINISTER IN THE TRUMP ERA, I’VE BEEN RECEIVING LOTS OF QUERIES ABOUT THE AFTERLIFE

Written by CHRIS FARAONE Posted July 17, 2018 Filed Under: COLUMNS, Dear Reader

I know I’m building straw men just to burn them, but I don’t give a darn what people do with my corpse. I’d prefer no house of worship to be involved, but it isn’t up to me. To quote comedian David Cross, I won’t care because I can’t care. I’ll be dead.
