TL,DR: What works in Scandinavia can’t work here because there are black people here.

How about “America spends more per person to get worse outcomes than Scandinavian countries despite being richer and people under 50 think we need to move towards a Democratic Soicalest system, as empowering those who are rich to control society seems to have bad outcomes when compared to more egalitarian systems that…

In what universe is 36 percent not enough profit on a loan?!?!

yeah but were this any other star jez would’ve ripped them apart for not wanting to label themselves a feminist

I have to say that I’m not glad. She is not a good rapper. Not clever, not unique, and in that “Bodak Yellow” song she sounds like she has a speech impediment. I don’t want just any woman to be a mainstream rapper; I want a talented, witty woman with some skills to be a mainstream rapper. Hip hop has gone seriously…

Nothing is more depressing to me than the fact that we look for the best take on feminism from a pop star.

wait. so Jez is only cool when some people don’t like using the word ‘feminist’? Cardi B is spouting off nonsense and she needs to get educated because she sounds lazy. No, people don’t think that “being a feminist is a bitch that, like, went to school. They wear skirts all the way to their m!therf!cking ankles like…

uh, what about the part where she doesn’t want to be called the thing that you’re lauding her for defining

All these awesome things happened despite Donna Brazile’s fervent effort to make the Democratic Party look incompetent and nefarious.

You’re right, we should support military intervention in Venezuela like a good centrist liberal instead.

This is the member of Pussy Riot that’s dating Dmitry Enteo, a far right activist: https://www.thedailybeast.com/shes-in-pussy-riot-hes-on-the-far-right-how-maria-alyokhina-and-dmitry-enteo-fell-in-love

people are being critical of her ‘work’ because it mostly seems to consist of riffing on decorative-throw-pillow slogans and hitting the enter key a whole bunch
audiences are in no way duty-bound to say positive things about every ‘artist’ and the notion that criticism is ‘tearing down’ is a toxic one

I’ve tried to like/understand the appeal here and I don’t get it. (I’m old, but not that old.) The song is no different or better than the seemingly endless “trap” songs saturating the world right now. And she is not any more charismatic, goodlooking than any other female artist out there. Nor is she an exceptional…

I thought she sounded arrogant and stubborn in the interview, which is not that surprising since those tendencies likely contributed to her losing in the first place. She had smart answers but also seemed unwilling to accept that her “smart” approach actually wasn’t all that smart in a changing America. Sounded like…

The city’s permanent residents should really adjust to the needs of the casual, pants-pissing visitor.

No

Not really.

In the past 1.5 years, I’ve realized that a lot of white feminists believe being women is equivalent to being a POC, and so they believe they have an understanding of racism that allows them to make it about themselves. Pantsuit Nation is actually a really good place to find them. It’s incredibly frustrating because…

But we know, unequivocally, that both of those things are true. Or are you claiming a career political fixer/politician is unlike a mafia boss (crooked is redundant)?

“And she resigned because of the leaked emails and the optics they caused.”
