My apologies in advance for the caps

All of those Intercept/Wikileaks/Trapo House/Alternet white “Leftists” and their white adjacent homeboys+girls are total garbage human beings who try to hide their innate racism behind a veil of fake lefty bullshit.

Me while reading this:

Jason, I know this piece wasnt for us because we know you, we trust your judgment and your integrity. This piece was, for lack of a better phrase, the mothafuckin haters. Everyday we come to the Root to learn (ok and have fun with Michael H) from you and the other staff and (some of) the commenters. I hope you know we…

I really think the Obamas may have heard whispers about Weinstein.

I mean, Hillary doesn’t strike me as a big follower of celebrity culture. I doubt she spends her time speculating on blind items at CDaN.

Sure, whispers.

I wonder if the assumption that prominent Democrats knew of his actions is somehow easier to digest because they are seen as a monolith. In reality, all of us at different power and class levels know someone guilty of the same crimes, even if we’re currently unaware of it.

Why would they?? Obama actually had his daughter intern there; if he genuinely believed Weinstein was a predator, wouldn’t he keep her far, far enough, if nothing else to avoid this exact kind of scandal should the rumors even prove true? Washington and Hollywood are light years away from each other, and there were…

“Across conservative media and social networks, Weinstein is also being used as an avatar of the legitimate ongoing failures of the Democratic party...”

Honest question: How would Brad Pitt be “complicit”? He was not the victim, but he wasn’t the hottest actor in the world at that point. Wouldn’t he also be intimidated and fearful of retribution from one of the most prominent and powerful studio heads in the industry? I mean, sure, he didn’t turn into an FBI informant…

I’m surprised the good doc didn’t bring up the racial undertones of letter one, on the writer’s part. It seemed pretty clear to me that he was surprised he was attracted not just to a heavier woman, but a black one. Farrah deserves someone who will value her more than the discomfort of dating her because you have…

Not sure if you’re being sarcastic, but registered voters in NYC have booklets about all candidates mailed to the address that the registered to vote with, along with post card reminders about upcoming elections from the DOE.

Watching a room full of people whose collective net worth is well over double the money actually raised for hurricane relief felt a little funny—a friend texted me during the telecast that if all the celebrities in that room donated a tenth of their salary to hurricane relief, we wouldn’t have to have to endure this…

Celebrities who raise money for anything are always chastised for not giving enough themselves, no matter how much they actually give. Every person involved in this kind of endeavor gives some money; some more generously than others. But I don’t see the problem with a rich person giving a nice chunk of change AND…

Insert Devil Wears Prada cerulean speech.

I’m of Chinese heritage and, for whatever reason, I can find shades that are fairly close to my skin tone, but are not perfect matches.

I’m seeing a a distressing lack of wine pairings.

Most top flight racers came from boatloads of cash. Many still had lots of family members in the sport - look at the current Formula 1 field. That’s the reality of it. She is no different from the rest of them and the fact that she’s capable of doing all of this while also studying to be an engineer at goddam…
