Face it, he might be somewhat of an alright guy to grab a beer with but he's clueless when it comes to being President..

This is brilliant.

This is maybe not really directly relevant here at all, but the other day my daughter was singing along to Bohemian Rhapsody. After the line "Mama ... Just killed a man," she paused and said thoughtfully, "She really shouldn't have done that." And I realized that, all this time, she has heard that part of the song…

This — this is brilliant. I can't even say how much I like this comment without sounding really weird and creepy. But it's like Shakespeare — better and more meaningful with each reading.

I wish I could give this comment, and your comment that started this thread, a hundred stars. The sad thing is that there was just no purpose to her (Miss darling's) comment — it was just an excuse for her to announce to a bunch of strangers on the internet that she's the exception, to pat herself on the back for…

I was going to say exactly the same thing. This part:

The way the video is shot, it seems like that's her reaction after he initially ran into her. I.e., he ran into her (perhaps inadvertently) while charging toward whoever made him mad, and she pushed back. I'm guessing he didn't even notice her until she pushed back, which is why he's claiming that she was the…

I just read a transcript of the clip you're talking about, and it's just as bad as you said. This is a bad, bad man. And he's also , clearly, just a very stupid man. The way the end of the transcript reads, it's almost like he's saying, "Well, the more educated thing to do is to wait for the fetus to be born before…

Wow. Your brother is awesome.

Same here on all points (including being 4'11"). And this guy was a total asshole.

I've recently been employing a new strategy when I see a really egregious manspreader on the subway. I am a very small person (a co-worker politely described me as "modestly sized"), and I can sometimes squeeze into the miniscule space that the manspreader has left in the seat next to him. So I squeeze myself into…

This conversation (you, MisterMcGibblets, and Emma Golddiger) is delightful and hilarious. So many layers of awesomeness.

To probably a much lesser degree, I get the same thing (I am Asian American). It happened more when I lived in a less diverse area — things like "Hey, the woman who does my hair is Chinese/Japanese/Korean. Do you know her?"

Your first sentence also explains why people constantly do the "I'm not racist, but [some really racist statement] thing. Or why people who've been caught being incredibly racist will desperately say things like, "I'm really sorry if people were offended, but I'm not a racist." Some people really seem to think that…

This is one of the best and most powerful essays I've ever read. I wish everyone in the country would read it. Thank you for this.

Funny how she (or whoever actually wrote this crap) never actually denies that he's a rapist. She just takes issue with how the media has portrayed him.

I agree — I think a truly masterful side eye requires some subtlety. Either a "blink and you miss it" quickness, or such a subtle change in expression that you can almost question whether you really saw it.

That last picture . . . there is no actor, ever, anywhere, that I love more than him. Or whom I love more than him. Whatever.

I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying your posts. If you wrote up a small treatise on the various categories of side-eye (or on any other subject where you make incredibly astute observations and then give those observations perfect names), or even a brief illustrated essay for Jezebel, I would totally read it.

Same here. I'm convinced the number is staggeringly high (even more staggeringly high than it already is), and that he'll turn out to be one of the most prolific serial rapists in history. When you think about how many lives he ruined, just for his own temporary gratification — there are no words for how monstrous…
