Not a great look to imply that people care about this war more because it involves white people, while referring to a war “in” Boko Haram.

The narrative that “the U.S. created the Taliban” is just another flavor of American exceptionalism that can’t believe anything happens in the world that isn’t ultimately about the US, and is rooted in the assumption that developing world polities have no agency of their own.

Yeah, I’m thrown off by how everyone seems to be saying , “GREAT! This is fantastic news!” It is not fantastic news. It sucks for her teammates, it sucks for the people who could have gone in her place, and quitting mid-competition is really not something to celebrate. We can be compassionate about the decision, but…

US Senate quorum is 51 members.

Well, I’m glad he decided to become a teacher after the brutal experience of breaking up that heroin ring back in high school.

I don’t know who the show is for, but most of the actor’s names (Jordan Alexander, Whitney Oak, Savannah Smith, Zion Moreno, Tavi Gevinson) sound more “Gossip Girl” than their character names.

I would watch Ryan Hansen read a phone book, so I’m still going to be into this. (Though from that publicity still, I just realized how much he looks like Dax Shephard. I wonder if that makes it weird for Kristen Bell.)

You’re more likely to bend for a person you know and respect rather than a person you’re assuming is the picture of everything you’re against. It also gives you insight on their motivations and ultimate…

I’m just going to leave this here:

“I bet Biden is Ok with this. “, “The Obama administration would have done something like this.” I’ll make it easy for you. The Trump administration DID this!

There’s more black people at Veiled Prophet Ball than work at the AV Club
