Bucky dunking on John while he’s getting his ass beat by the Dora Milaje is everything

OMG I just had this discussion with my MIL last night. She’s refusing to wear a mask (she lives in Texas) because she said Jesus and God will take care of her.

We are a 2 stagehand household. I work roughly 1 show a month and my husband (thank god!) is on staff at a performing arts center and is still being paid-this is not industry standard. The next two months I had enough work booked to balance having zero income over the slow summer season. But the tours and shows are…

When I saw Eminem, I was so hoping Three 6 Mafia was conning next

Why, thanks! I was actually confused about why everyone was confused. I guess thousands of heads would have exploded if 3-6 Mafia showed up to rap about the travails of pimps, huh?

No shit - EVERY person in that room (except Billie Eilish, who may have been a year old when it was released) was full-throatedly singing along and dancing. He brought the place down.

I think his interview is fine too? A young kid not understanding how you win an Oscar for a song makes sense to me, as someone who teaches young people from poor backgrounds with little cultural literacy. But I still have a soft spot for “My Heart Will Go On” - the movie not so much, but the song is lovely. 

Just because people don’t remember he won the Oscar for Best Song doesn’t mean he didn’t belong there. Past Oscar winners are often trotted out to perform

Jez just channeling a Karen

It was not embarrassing. The entire audience was singing along and gave a standing ovation. Wtf are you talking about? Don't make shit up just because you don't like rap or don't like Eminem.

It seems like all of the millenial writers on these sites are tripping over themselves trying to out-pretentious each other. I guess this not-middle-aged black woman doesn’t exist in their world, because I keep telling everyone I meet to go see this movie.

“Nobody thinks their period will be blue.”

My bio dad told my mom that his father had 1/2 Chippewa blood. And she had no reason to doubt him especially based on his coloring. My entire life I was told I was 1/8 NA. Until 2019 and a DNA test showed absolutely nothing.

It’s driving me crazy that this is being framed as lying. It’s uncritically repeating a family myth, and yeah, it is very common in white families in the US. It’s practically a cliche. It’s certainly a blind spot she revealed, but she’s also apologized and made a real effort to learn from it. It’s NOT dishonest.

In black America too. That’s where your cousins got their “good hair” and “high cheekbones.”

Honestly we need to stop giving oxygen to Warren’s native american thing. Family claims of NA ancestry were very, very common in mid-late 20th century White America - especially if your family had been in this country for many generations. This was the case in my family and, since this was all way before DNA testing,…

I was at that game, hanging out with some momentary friends down by Shea Bridge. I think we all had the same “No way Smith does this...but, what if he did though?” conversation with ourselves, moments before being reduced to screaming as though the Mets had won something more than their 86th game of the season.…

Counterpoint: The majority of American actually are DUMB AS FUCK and need to have teeny tiny bits of information regurgitated down their throats like baby chicks in order to halfway grasp a topic.

I get that editorial diktat is that Pelosi sucks, even when she’s doing exactly what you want, but this is disingenuous as shit.

I am a Mets fan. I was watching this game last night. When the top of the 9th ended and the scoreboard showed 10-4, I said out loud to no one but my dog “that’s not enough”. So when Suzuki’s ball cleared the fence, I at least had some satisfaction in knowing I had been right.
