The Encylopedia Brown remark made me spit my coffee. So, you regularly have dinner with the chief of police, and when he's onto a case he just can't crack, he'll take his notebook out of his breast pocket and let you have a whack at it? "But wait ... you said he wore a BLUE hat when he walked into the room! Case…

Seriously? I think it's one of the best things that could have happened to Luck. Folks that actually like football can enjoy him in peace, and he's free of the desperately annoying and distracting madness that being a media darling makes inescapable. If you actually appreciate Luck, you should be doing your best to…

It's not really an assumption. It's true that there is a trend that magazines with a woman of color on the cover don't sell as well. It's not just about making a more interesting cover - it's about racism being present in basically every facet of our society.

From what I've read, it's not just an assumption, unfortunately. They track sales, and sales are lower when there is a woman of color on the cover. It doesn't excuse the situation, but it helps explain it.

I want a picture of Ariana, being carried like a baby by her mom, who is being carried like a baby.

This is highly insulting, considering how critical Cosby has been of black people in general. Now he wants black people in the media to give him a black pass? He can go drug himself and fuck himself!

The sad truth is, and I say this as a Black man, is that the wider public in Europe and the U.S. buy fashion magazines and a lower rate when women of color are on the cover. The problem is not with the magazines. They just want to sell mags. The problem is with the public and the rest of society that is still racist.

"Let me say this. I only expect the black media to uphold the standards of excellence in journalism and when you do that you have to go in with a neutral mind," Cosby said.

According to other coverage, the boy had no idea she was coming to see him. She was going to surprise him. He was clueless. So, that.

According to the cops, the cab driver technically didn't break any laws because he did not seem to mean Alexis any harm though her parents are now pushing for laws that require taxi drivers to verify the age of young passengers traveling alone.

I'm sick of hearing about the hurt manfeels. Nothing pushes me to the radical fringes of Feminism faster than dudes whining about their hurt feelings.

Those of you that watch her show are to blame.

What is most depressing to me, after reading the article in Slate about this, is that RS purposefully choose UVA because of Jackie's sensational story. The reporter needed a "stand out" story from all of the dozens that sounded exactly the same.
But by choosing that sensational and (even if true) over the top story…

Three points:

The evidence appears to be that the person/image of "drew" sent to friends prior to the event occurring was false and that is the anchor to everything. Maybe something did happen to her during her fake date, maybe she met up with some bad people and something terrible happened. However, since the whole evening was…

But ultimately to use a specific story as the centerpiece for a broader discussion about rape on campus, the facts as you report them need to be accurate. Not because we should need stories to acknowledge the macro statistics that indicate there is clearly a huge problem, but because for most of the broader public to…

I actually don't think that many reports of rape are false, regardless of the audience. I'm only saying that we don't have reliable statistics on the veracity of rape allegations unreported to police, so perhaps there is value in reserving judgment until more facts come out. There was a knee-jerk reaction here where…

It looks like to me, from the Washington Post article, that Jackie made up the UVA Junior to catfish her friends and get "Randall" jealous because she was in love with Randall. When that didn't work, she concocted the sexual assault story to simultaneously 'kill off' the fake UVA junior and get Randall's sympathy. …

I am a "swaddled Grande" truther, only because I refuse to dispense with the mental image of Grande swaddled up in a fleece blanket, being rocked lovingly by a 6'6"+ former marine of a bodyguard.

Maybe it isn't that Jackie is the "wrong person to represent" and actually this article is a complete clusterfuck. .
