LOS ANGELES: Yashar Ali is a righteous dude on social media, excoriating many awful people — and not with journalistic distance, but with a crusading mentality. He seems to move from one person to the next, specializing in calling out allegedly racist, sexist and homophobic missteps, which has made him a bit of a hero to many on the left.

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC: Never knew tossing a pie in an anti-gay scumbag's face was called “zapping,” and I don't think such hands-on stunts would work today — witness how Macron's face-slap has backfired — but it's fun reading about how early queer activists were doing crime to make a point absent the support we enjoy today.
