When he sent an email to the Free Burma Rangers in early 2004, filmmaker Chris Sinclair didn’t expect that in a few short months he’d be hiking across Thailand taking photos of displaced individuals. And he certainly didn’t expect that years later, he’d create a documentary telling the story of…
From the words of our own president to the comment section on YouTube, it seems fair to say that to live in the modern era is to read enough idiotic crap to last a lifetime. But the stupidest, most pointlessly racist and unwarranted vitriolic tweet of the year — so…

The year just started, and it’s already trash. We’re not talking politics, but about the fact that we’ve already lost one precious thing this month: Friends. The NBC sitcom joined a long list of shows to depart Netflix, and in doing so, joined another list: Things white people mourn when…
Peter the Pilot is this season’s Bachelor and he’s only the third white pilot to ever be the lead of the show (diversity!). And if this writer knows anything about pilots (she does, she used to work with them), then she knows Peter won’t have any trouble juggling multiple women…
