The degree to which sportswriters perennially downplay Serena’s utter domination of modern tennis is a scandal.

Ah yes, not only is it racist, but there’s the nice additional dehumanization of describing people of color as food.

I haven’t even read the full article; I’m just lol-ing forever at the Wario nose and mustache.

The internet has just informed me that they finally broke up! I’m happy for her but kind of ashamed that I just googled it.

Kris is no Mildred.

“This is a loser for the school district,” Charles C. Haynes of Washington DC’s Newseum tells the Post. “It’s difficult to satisfy the First Amendment in elementary school when it comes to the Bible.
