3. You know how at black functions sometimes there’s a white woman (“Jane”) there who’s married to an uncle or a cousin or something, and she’s actually really nice and sweet and everyone likes her, so no one’s too critical when she brings her yam-and-peanut-butter casserole, because everyone knows she’s sincerely…

I have been waiting for (expecting?) this. Damon, you made me proud. Great summation of what happened yesterday. BTW I saw every minute of the nearly 8 hours of it. Except the part when I had to mute that Jasper dude.

“Of course, I’m not saying that Ariana Grande shouldn’t have had so many people upset for her. Just that black women and girls should get it, too.”

So frustrating. My mother said “ ... she’s a very good actress.”

She’ll be back to beating the Trump drum when she returns to The View.

“... many men in the business [w]ant to see Louis come back because deep down inside they know they’ve also done fucked up shit to women,” she said. “[T]hey want to know that it’s not going to hurt them on a permanent basis. Louis is their test case.”

Do you know how petty you have to be to be dying from cancer, to put together a list of people who better not be at your funeral?

Oy. You know it’s bad when the better option is saying you’re a big enough fan of the Charlotte Hornets to get their logo tattooed.

So it’s a phoenix rising from your butt? That’s pretty cool. 

I was sympathetic for a long time and liked his music, but you know what- fuck him. At the time when he first said it I didn’t feel much but thinking about it now, I’m just raging.
