While Salma Hayek’s background is more modest, her father owned an industrial-equipment firm and was an oil company executive in Mexico and her mother, Diana Jiménez Medina, was an opera singer and talent scout. She wasn’t exactly a pleb growing up and she made a lot of money herself. She is rich and so his her…

I bought into that “it’s fucked up that Sandy changed her style for Danny” business for years because I hadn’t seen Grease since I was a kid.

I’m from Oklahoma, and I’ve never heard of the guy.

I think if your form is good you're not allowed to call it Cross Fit anymore.

It sounds like the phenomenon in movie criticism where a movie is criticized because the critic wanted it to be a different movie, rather than on its own merits.

I’m not sure I am totally on board with calling them “flaws”. This seems more like a pretty common sports problem, where a solid performer was drafted high to play a role not supported by Soul’s scouting report, and acceptable aspects of Soul’s game are getting called flaws because of the framework Soul is playing in,…

Joss Whedon’s Justice League: Rigged Very Badly

I hate seeing how many people I actually know on my social media timelines are really stupid...

You have to pose your question to the right person. Someone who starts out by saying “I don’t understand vaccines medically...” is definitely not the person to turn to for vaccine advice.

I hate to be the one to tell you this, since you’re claiming to be older than 14 I can’t believe I’m the first one to do it, but your likes and preferences are not universal and, in fact, you are not center of the universe.

We were going to run into this issue in a few years or a hundred.
But if Superman can get at least 5 horrible movies with 3 three different actors, I think the audience deserves another great Black Panther story, no matter the actors. 

This will be an unpopular take.

Also, dude was suspended after his students went to the dean. I like how the definition of "cancelled" is broad enough to include temporary disciplinary action handled through normal workplace channels. 

“The students said some of them had voiced their concern to Patton during his lecture, but that he’d used the word in following class sections anyway. They also said they’d reached out to fellow Chinese students, who ‘confirmed that the pronunciation of this word is much different than what Professor Patton described…

If cancel culture was a real thing half of Hollywood would be out of jobs, Trump would never have been President, and the worryingly now mainstream “alt-right” would all be six feet under.

I mean, there was the problem of one of the main showrunners being a serial sexual harasser and getting away with it for years...

Someone on the Jezebel version of this story commented that it’s just as weird as Jacques Webster deciding his rap name should be Travis Scott, “two boring white guy names from 1992.” Can’t disagree.

Exactly. Daystar is a dope name! That would be like if your real name was Bigdick Robinson and you decided to go by “Stevie Streetz” or some shit. 

This is on all the Democrats that stayed home even though a Supreme Court seat was up for grabs because they didn't like Clinton. This is on all the people that voted Jill Stein. 

Will never top this.
