She probably knew he was a snake, but no way in hell did she know he was going to get elected president before she married him. She was probably just expecting to be the trophy wife of some old, rich guy who sometimes was on tv and have to deal with his shit in front of whatever (relatively) little publicity he could…

Don’t forget Thomas Friedman. He, Dowd, and Brooks really are a trifecta of hacks.

Perhaps that’s why I don’t see this as creepy? I see this kind of stuff in Latin America all the time, and Europeans still kiss each other on the lips as well - particularly soccer players.

Yeah, and I find it odd that there’s such a visceral reaction about a son kissing his father, specifically.

You know what really bothers me? When people bug out about kissing kids on the lips. Not everyone does it but when people do, IT IS NOT SEXUAL. People cringing like there is a sexual element is icky. It’s icky! That’s a father and son, clean your head. Damn.

Oakland, near San Francisco, is trying to reserve 50% of its dispensary licenses for people with marijuana convictions.

The only way to defeat a narcissist is not to play. Yelling, disrupting, walking out in protest, it all would have fed Trump’s ego because it shows that he is winning. That’s how narcissists think.

Rhythm Nation, Janet, and The Velvet Rope are among the many reasons I won’t watch. It actually goes back to Donna Summer and Badgirls. I just won’t.

That weird pout coupled with those braids make her look like a standard blow up doll who just got back from her first cruise to Jamaica.

Kendrick has been ripped off twice and Beyonce should basically not show up anymore since the academy appears determined to waste her time. Really in the words of Public Enemy “Who gives a fuck about a god damn Grammy?” The Grammy’s have shown themselves to be a joke forever. Who can forget in 1989 when hip hop and…

Agreed on every album.

Oh, hon, we are outnumbered on every one of their platforms except the Root and its offshoots. And thank god for them. Kotaku, Gizmodo, and Deadspin comment sections? If you want to go on a machete killing spree, read those misogyny/racism fiestas. I tend to avoid comments outside of Jez and The Root, but I wondered…

So much of the problem with this whole situation is this: TONS of men saw themselves in Aziz Ansari in that article. They’ve done identical shit. And oh, no, they’re next. What if they actually are held to account for acting like total shit? it’s a lot of them. And that’s why we’re not allowed to go there. How dare we…

The biggest problem being men think their intentions are all that matter therefore things are totally cool because they said so.

It doesn’t really matter if it’s legally a crime (many countries have vastly different definitions of what breaks the line between legality and illegality) but in terms of the definition of terms like sexual assault he’s way over the line of that. It’s telling in his responses and his supporters that they don’t want…

The skit made me feel icky in the end. I was like... so this means regular ass adult people really do not know whats right and whats wrong.

OT i guess - but at the next presidential debate, when the R nominee is facing declining poll numbers and inevitably pulls out his trusty “what about the precious itty bitty fetuses?” - all i want to see in the world is candidate Harris or Warren or who-fucking-ever just OWN the moral high ground on the abortion issue…

This sketch was wishy-washy bullshit. I hated it. “Oh it’s so hard to talk about!” No, it’s really easy, actually. What’s hard is that men tend to get called assholes and that, apparently, is far worse than the sexual assault that masquerades as dating for, well, most women at one point or another in their lives. I’m…

I feel they are both talented, purportedly nice folks, neither of which I have ever found attractive. So, it works for me?
