He was a really good player who deserves the HOF. He is also the most insufferable buffoon this side of Trump.  

It just kills you, doesn’t it?

Jesus Christ, just thinking about how Ray Lewis is going to bloviate, pontificate, and generally make a giant ass of himself in his speech is going to keep Deadspin rolling in takes for weeks. Can’t wait.

I’m not sure Whitlock would have a problem with that. 

Uh . . . by your “equation,” white women who have been assaulted by powerful men would be victims of racism. And, quite frankly, it’s NOT that simple. It never is.

You know just because you feel that way, doesnt make it true right? Thats ridiculous lol.

So – I’m a little busy right now to do a truly comprehensive list without getting a check for it – especially since I’d essentially be doing the author’s work – but would it not have been useful to at least list *some* of the most prominent current women whose work has been co-opted and whitewashed and erased?

The biggest obstacle of all is that we white women have to admit that we still benefit from racist patriarchal structures, which is why we’re eerily silent when it comes to issues that predominantly affect minority women. We can’t get men to admit it either so I’m not sure there’s much hope here.

What an annoying little kissant.

I’m astounded by how many people completely dismiss all of this. And you’ll never find a Jezebel devotee who will actually give you a well thought out response, as evidenced by the genius whose takeaway from what you supplied was simply the polygraph test.

“push the poor helpless white woman narrative”

Trying to pretend like some of us do remember Melania peddling that racist birther bullshit back when she was hawking her horrible line of jewelry or face care. Whatever it was, it was a lie.

“a captive in her own home”

It’s definitely better that the Best Actress winner this year won’t have to get their award from Affleck, but dude gets no cookies for sitting this out because it’s clear his motivation here is self-interest rather than contrition.

Important point because people are attacking the judge. When he had already admitted guilt and she was no longer at a point where she had to give him that benefit of the doubt.

I’ve lived in southern California my entire life and I’ve been hearing that THE BIG ONE (OHNOPANIC!!!!!!!!!!) was moments away pretty much the entire time. You get kind of meh about earthquakes by the time you’re like ten here, lol. This isn’t the first time that the Ring of Fire is doing its thing either.

Tornadoes on…

Franco is disgusting for many reasons already said - but the fact that dude is standing there covered in fake tattoos (for a movie? In Why Him he seems to have had a lot of fake ink) and on the cover of the book even MORE. That’s just stupid.

I can’t speak to how he identifies himself (gay, straight, bi, douchenozzle). But he was known to have gotten in domestic violence disputes with his boyfriend two decades or so ago. Police were called. Which tracks with his own violent behavior on the set of Freaks and Geeks (just ask Busy Phillips). In addition, I…

He could also just have a boring old personality disorder.

Never forget that Edmund White LOVES him some trade.
