I reluctantly attended a talk Kipnis gave a few months ago at an alumni event. She struck me (and most of my colleagues) as extraordinary privileged and displaying little, if any, self-awareness. Not only does she seem to truly believe all the crap she spews, but she also seemed aghast that every other intelligent…

First world problems.

Yes, this exactly. Baglis Jr. rode in a stroller (unfolded, on the bus, subway, and everywhere else) well into his preschool years because of his mobility issues. I got really good at staring down passengers who gave us dirty looks for having a gigantic stroller on the bus.

It’s not a dick move to bring a stroller on a plane. The airlines actually allow them if they fit in the overhead bins. Also, she had two babies with her. The stroller (and car carrier) is how you get the babies on a plane without losing one.

Edit: wrong thread. Sorry.

I love how this story has become about this one woman rather than the massive multi-million (billion?) dollar corporation responsible for the ad. Pepsi is getting off pretty easily compared to Jenner. Maybe one day the internet will learn to direct its rage appropriately.

To be fair, it hasn’t been a “smallest bit of criticism” but more like global ridicule.

No. This is part of the ad campaign. Nivea knew exactly what it was doing with this ad and it worked — they’ve drawn a ton of attention to themselves, I.e. all publicity is good publicity. It’s all marketing 101.

I have solo lunches with opposite gender coworkers on a regular basis and not once have I gotten laid. Clearly I’m not doing it right.

Or rather, the press conferences are the angry sober breaks between steady drunkenness. He’s jonesing on live tv.

Yep, whiteness is a hell of a drug.

So basically the orange one is gutting the government to pay for the fucken wall.

“The reality is that most women are not in a position to strike. Whether it be that they would get fired or the fact that many of the jobs women fill are not jobs that can easily be left for a day. Most nurses and teachers are women and these are not the types of jobs in which you can just not show up. It will be…

Respectability politics is dead. Thankfully, most of us black and brown people have realized that there’s no level of “showing respect” that will make racist blowhards see us as the full human beings we are.

Well, maybe closer to Germany in the early 1930s — country just out of a recession, lamenting the failures of previous liberal government, and seeing the rise of right-wing nationalist parties.

It’s not so many if you’re a sex worker.

Dammit. You’ve forever ruined pumpkin spice for me.

What’s Kellyanne’s excuse?
