Imagine if you will that you are a homophobic racist of the sort who feels hate is fine as long as you can insist your religion sanctions it. The past election got you all freaked out that Democrats (gay! Black!) were going to spread some homo agenda all over your clan of teenagers or some [...]

bad marketing

Of engineers and princesses
As a child I would’ve been absolutely stoked to go to Legoland. In my head, it’s always been a place filled with so many primary colored bits and pieces that the sky is the limit — where you could build something that exceeded the constraints of your lesser Lego collection at home.
