It’s funny - rumor has it that in private Kanye is.... actually kind of an alright guy.

Maybe I’m old-fashioned, but I think ghosting is a thoughtless, immature, and dysfunctional way of handling a breakup. If it’s a complex of ambiguous situation, at least try talking to them and getting across where you stand.

He directly stated he was surprised the patrons there weren’t loping around constantly calling each other, in his words, “MF-er”. As if black folk only communicate using grunts, gang signs, and expletives. It’s just a shame James Baldwin isn’t around to knock O’Reilly down a peg or fifty.

Full disclosure: my stupid boner thinks Rachel McAdams is gorgeous. Also that she’s putting in a great performance thus far. That too.

Would it be out of line for me to point out that the Palins are white trash? Because these people are white fucking trash down to the most banal, minute detail.

“Hannibal was recently cancelled by NBC, putting an ailing show out of its misery, as well as those of us who knew it started flailing after its first season yet were forced to read endless television critics blathering on about its supposed brilliance. (Seriously, guys; all the dark lighting and creepy sound effects

“Ferguson” is the new “Africa”.

That crossed my mind too, considering that the Greatjon in the show looks like he’s in his 60s (as opposed to the 30/40-something character of the books). Not entirely sure how they’d make Smalljon the ruler of his house in that case, thought.

The lord is a savage warrior, and he rules a distinguished house in the very far North, and the role is said to be an impactful one. He’s described as a massive bear of a man with a beard and temper to match, and hatred that run deep, and he can be violent.

So how many fedoras do you own?

I can’t automatically tell if you’re one of those dreaded “book readers” (I’m one of those, for what it’s worth), but Ramsay’s change from page to screen might be one of the most drastic of the whole series - maybe even on par with Stannis. They’ve turned Ramsay, who was a passably clever 2-bit sadist in the books,

I had someone ask me why so many people were dissatisfied/depressed by how they handled things with Stannis, and why some people see it as such a forced character deviation. I put it this way:

I love this comment way more than I should, and I had to roll an 18 will save not to laugh aloud at this in the middle of my workday.

I’m going to come out of the woodwork (gentile here) and ask a question about young adults who adopt ultra-Orthodox practice. A really close friend of mine came from a family of loosely observant Reform jews, and was a run-of-the-mill culturally jewish but nonreligious kid through his very early 20s. Courtesy of a

I’ve always been kind of taken aback by that too. The Brienne from the source material is supposed to be painful-to-look-at unattractive. They had to go to some not inconsiderable lengths to play down the looks of Gwendoline Christie for the TV series.

For the record, I love Marc Lamont Hill. Seeing him put that smugly clueless human jowl Ben Ferguson in his place on a weekly basis may be the only reason I ever watch CNN.

So what you’re saying is this episode could be renamed...

The only thing missing here is a tweet closing with #OnlyGodCanJudgeMe

Yeah, taking a look at photos of her I can understand why there were rumors about her fabricating her background for years. She looks like a white woman with a ton of bronzer/fake tan. They’re all over the place in New Jersey and south Florida. Not a single light-skinned person of color/creole person actually has that

Hey guys, I’ve figured out what the Game of Thrones finale photos reveal - the characters feel just as worn down and emotionally numb as the viewers! 10-1 odds Jon Snow slits Sam Tarley’s throat next episode because Shocking™ and Edgy™.
