I stopped at Feast for Crows because FUCK YOU MARTIN YOU KILL EVERYONE, but at least at that point, the books were much less rapey than the tv show.

Most of the time, basketball players just flat-out troll. It’s nice to see a little subtlety.

All I’m pointing out, in my sarcastic way, is that “having an all-white cast” isn’t a historical necessity to portray Hollywood of the 1930s and 1940s. I’ve watched a lot of pre-WWII movies, and there is almost always at least one POC in the cast, and some of those POCs had a fair amount of star power, even if they…

The Ivy League is literally a collegiate sports league, like the SEC or the Pac-12. So yeah, the sports standings of the eight schools in the league are kept separately from schools that aren’t in the league, because that is the normal way you determine a league champion.

I don’t know if the football season would be missed. Hockey, now, you’re talking a riot.

Other than Dolores del Rio, Carmen Miranda, Maria Montez, Dorothy Dandridge, Lena Horne, the Mills Brothers, Cab Calloway, Louis Jordan, Bill “Bojangles” Robinson, the Nicholas Brothers, Pearl Bailey, Ruby Dee, Eartha Kitt, Dihann Carroll, Rita Moreno, Louis Armstrong, Hazel Scott, Juanita Moore, Ricardo Montalban and…

This is Harvard, not the SEC. The guys who write for the Crimson are a bigger deal on campus than the ones on this soccer team. (Plus, dude: It’s soccer. There isn’t a campus in the U.S. where these guys would be alpha dogs.)

I’m sorry you’ve known so many shitty men. I hope you meet some better ones in the future.

Actually, I spent four years around Ivy League athletes, including two years on a club team. I dated a teammate (it was a co-ed sport), but if I had ever caught him or anyone else talking about the women in these terms, it would have been over.

There is a difference between a casual remark and an email, as one newspaper found out in a recent libel suit. But more, if I were these women, I would expect that my fellow athletes view me as a sister or a colleague, not as meat to be graded.

The FBI is part of the Justice Department...which is in the Executive Branch, not the Judicial Branch. Comey’s boss is Attorney General Loretta Lynch.

I’m an SF Giants fan and I’ve been “World-Series drinking” anyway. I mean, it’s a historic matchup, right?

Ergh, did not post link:

19. Marianne Faithfull, “Witches’ Song.”

(raises hand) Me. I’m concerned.

As far as I can tell, no actual ballerinas used the word “appropriation” in describing why they found Kendall Jenner so annoying. A metric ton of journalists used the term to describe why the ballerinas were upset, primarily in headlines where I assume the word increased the clickiness of their stories. And yeah, that…

I can’t imagine “appropriation” being used to describe this except in a sarcastic way.

The musical of Heathers is pretty awesome, though.

Having seen the number of hours of strength training and practice ballerinas must go through to get properly “over” their toes, I can understand their irritation.
