He looks like one of those weird UK skinheads that weigh 120 pounds and do the gabber dancing with the flailing high kicks.

If bronies start shooting up FedEx facilities now, I may have to reconsider my opinion of them.
“I’m canceling this question”
Such an annoying video, just let the dude ask the damn question jesus, buncha fucking fake ass hollywood liberals always want to shut everything down as soon as you start saying something risqué. They should be grateful he didn’t go shoot up the place after that. Do you have any idea the amount of pressure guys like that are under?

of course you would defend that dipshit. You were the same one who made fun of all the spergs at the communist convention. But someone asking a question about whether or not there’s child molester subtext in my little pony needs to be treated with kid gloves.
On a related note, that clip reminds me of someone at a former job I had who had a very spastic moment about Harley Quinn when Suicide Squad was in theaters. “Everyone wanted to RAPE HER!!” said with a not inside voice. The manager had to tell them to curb their enthusiasm. ( this co worker was a woman by the way.)
I appreciate that guy for his work in science, but as a cultural commentator that's literally all he's ever done.
I think 500 years from now we will understand that different human brains process symbols and language completely differently, and either guys like that had some form of clandestine autism, or guys like me were low-grade schizophrenics. Either way we can't share the planet for much longer

Now don't get me wrong here, I've pretty much always thought Dick Dawkins was a fucktard. I'm not a biologist, so I don't really have an opinion about The Selfish Gene one way or the other, but even if it's as important as most people who know more about this stuff than I do seem to think, it came out in 1976, and since then, his major contribution to world history has been to be the granddaddy of the edgelords and not a whole lot more that I can think of.
It's positively hilarious, though, that what really sent him spinning out of control was a run-in with a feminist in an elevator.

the "holiday" shit is great because modern xmas was appropriated anyway... no real grounds to be so delicate about it. it's just thinly-veiled xenophobia...
re: his kafka tweet, it's kind of a bummer that none of the replies really land. lots of "art is subjective you PRICK".
one potential winner:
Hi Richard, I'm a Literature PhD student and to really understand The Metamorphosis, you have to also read the entire series of Animorphs
good thing I'll be dead soon, cause I'm tired of liars winning

Most people say holidays in German as well, we have for as long as I can remember, and the reason is because people typically take the week between Christmas and New Year's off, so it's a series of holidays. It wasn't even ever particularly meant to be inclusive of other religions or whatever. Not to mention most people just think of it as time off from work anyway.
As for what he has to say about Kafka, I don't need hot takes on literature from biologists any more than I need hot takes on philosophy and theology from them. And I only have an M.A. in one of those three fields.
