Kanye West, Yeezus Tour 2013

No Saving Ye

“I like Hitler,” said Kanye West (now Ye) to approximately 15 million people on Alex Jones’ Info Wars last week. Jones tried to defuse the situation by clarifying Ye’s point and assuming it was a gesture to all people—good and bad—because they are all God’s children. Ye shook his ...

Mandolyna Theodoracopulos and Gavin McInnes

So Long, Taki!

This will be my last column for Takimag. It’s been almost exactly ten years at about 1,000 words a week. That’s half a million words or the equivalent of half a dozen books. I’m so thankful to Taki and his daughter, Mandolyna, for giving me the opportunity to make better and better columns. ...

Empowering the Radicals

The president has become “completely unhinged,” Jimmy Kimmel told his viewers on Tuesday night. He had just canceled all their scheduled programming to focus on the president’s press conference regarding Charlottesville. This is a day after Jimmy Fallon did basically the same thing and asked ...

Google Tech Fired for Using Google

Google is a brilliant search engine where they accrue seemingly infinite amounts of data and organize it into patterns. When you type in “cars” it takes you to the most popular car-buying site as well as all the dealerships within a 30-mile radius. The people who work there are mostly male, ...

The West Is History

Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk is killing it at the box office and will likely gross over $200M. It’s a horrible movie that is stressful to watch and never seems to end. The timeline switches back and forth, leaving the viewer scared, confused, and about to vomit. This is why we went to see it. We ...

Charlize Theron

American’s Got Talent and Hope

Political correctness has been around since the 1990s, but as Jim Goad points out, back then it was only on ...

The Tragedy of Doctor Who

The new Doctor Who is a woman. "€œAll the cool humans are thrilled,"€ cooed Mashable; "€œPissboys Are Melting Down,"€ added Dorkly (when did nerds start talking like bitter drag queens?). The Telegraph was slightly more sober and wrote off the whole thing with "€œWho cares?"€ It ...

They Call Americans Monsters

This week gossip blogs like CNN focused on a black stripper who was being harassed by her ex-fiancé, Kim Kardashian's brother. It was obviously a pathetic display of myopic minutiae, but it was also a telling look at our cultural priorities. Blac Chyna is the stripper in question, and she dumped ...

Save the Five!

"€œWhite supremacists have no place in the armed forces,"€ screeched the Huffington Post. "€œForces members who disrupted Indigenous rally face "€˜severe consequences,"€™"€ warned the CBC. "€œPathetic, dumb, and dangerous: The Proud Boys make their debut in Halifax,"€ chided The ...

Canada’s 150th From A to Zed

Canada turns 150 this weekend, which is weird because it's only 37. The left is trying to make this aboot "€œa celebration of indigenous genocide"€ because they"€™re party poopers, but the best way to deal with people like that is to party. I moved there from England in 1975 and left in ...
