Perhaps not in this single tweet... but the collection of it with some of her other (primarily what she retweeted, actually) put me off. Discussing and debating the racism and bigotry in their comics within hours of the murder seems like an effort to distract or sideline the bigger issue... it's just missing the…

You can say whatever you want. That was kind of the entire point of Charlie Hebdo...

I used to respect Rania Khalek a lot - and still do have respect for some of what she does in drawing attention to issues of people of color (and particularly of Muslims) that are typically ignored or made into villains by the mainstream media - but I have watched her steadily spiral downwards into cutting off her…

Thank you for sharing, and I am so very sorry for your loss. I have a friend who is pregnant and has had every scare along the way. I am in knots vicariously; I cannot imagine having to go through that myself. I wish you and your family the best... including privacy and full discretion over your medical services.

I'm so, so sorry that you went through this. I just cannot imagine. Thank you for sharing... hopefully someday stories like your family's get into the brains of people who elect idiots like Franks, and realize medical decisions belong to a medical personal together with the involved individual (or, occasionally, a…

This article is great! Thanks for writing it.

I'm sorry for that experience. Just to throw this out there - in case it makes you feel better - I am in the midst of this wedding planning activity myself, and can tell you see a big venue doesn't mean head count is still not a concern, and "drawing a line" is a very hard thing to do... and I think I am going to have…

Scott's issues have nothing to do with Facebook.

I agree. I was reflecting the other day on how nice it is interacting in particular with the generation above me (my parents, aunts, uncles, and all of their friends), and how much they pay attention and provide supportive feedback for the full spectrum of my experiences. I had an amazing and a terrible personal year…

It started out well, but it got a little pitchy, dawg. Don't care. Mariah Carey slays, forever.

That is true. And since so many men have zero shame sexualizing still very young girls, the behavior is just self-replicating. It is so sad.

This isn't surprising, but one of the things that keeps sticking out to me nonetheless is how similar each of these crimes are, and how classic they are in a grooming sense. Find a young and impressionable girl, present a fun or mentoring situation, provide alcohol (usually drugged, sometimes not), then isolate them…

I am kinda with Bette. I don't feel like Grande's sexuality is genuine... it feels like a commodity. Or maybe it bothers me because she's specifically selling "sexy baby" which is the grossest duo of words out there.

I just keep visualizing the scene from the 2nd season of Orphan Black. You know what I mean. (no spoilers beyond that hint)

A proclivity for anger

I feel like when Beyonce says, "I'm fresher than you," my only reaction is, "I know, you really don't need to rub it in."

I feel tragically uncool that it did not occur to me that she was wearing a grill. Or maybe I should be proud of that fact? haha

I hate to admit that I saw that picture and thought the same thing. It's not even that she looks old, she looks unwell with yellowed teeth and a bruise on her cheek. I think it is just a really unflattering picture. We know she takes exquisite care of herself, so I don't worry. You do you, Madonna!

What I don't get about this is... well, most things... but specifically that he frames the entire joke in a "I can only make this joke if these important black people tell me it is OK to make the joke," but then he makes the joke anyhow? It's like... was he so sad to be out of the spotlight (despite literally HAVING…

This really drives home the point that not believing women is morally corrupt and should be criminal. 15 women. Jesus.
