I unabashedly like her and wish her every success. Her books are delightful.

I’m just psyched for her in general. She wrote in her book about wanting to be a mother and have a family, and also about being super-busy. I’m glad that the baby part is coming true for her (fingers crossed!) She seems like a good person and terribly hard-working.

I assume it’s him but also dread that for her. It always seems like she’s more in love with him than he has been with her, even though they are “best friends.” I feel like she would have married him a long time ago. She deserves someone madly in love with her. (Note that obviously she knows her life best and I’m just…

Congratulations to Mindy!

Lord God NO. She deserves better.

Did anyone else just get an image of 2021 where Corey Booker is President with Mindy Kaling as First Lady taking their brilliant, adorable child for walks on the White House lawn? Just me?

My best friend is married with a baby and she provides more text commentary about other people’s first days than I do, a tragic person with no romantic relationship in my life. We’ve witnessed maybe 15 first dates over the years and she’s the one to listen in first.

Yes, and it functions as a sort of tally for some of the most racist incidents, people, and groups we’ve seen this year—though executed in Michael Harriot’s trademark humorous fashion.

Dear Locomotive Jones,

All I am saying is I don’t like this and I would really hate it if the other side did something like this.

You’re getting a lot of harsh replies, but I’m really trying to understand where you are coming from. What I hope you took from my previous comment is that, if people want to laugh at their oppressors, in order to take power away from them. That is legitimate.

Well, I was giving you the benefit of the doubt but you just admitted that you can’t have a conversation without the toxic ass respectability politics.

If the article was contained with vs like Taylor Swift vs Gal Gadot. I would see your point and that wouldn’t be cool. But all of these are people who did racist things. Like we’re not allowed to make fun of neo nazis and kkk members? Does not compute.

I remember his interview with that BET News guy (the lightskin one who had his face way toooooooooo beat) and the interviewer kept asking But Robert, you have to admit that the person in the tape has a strong resemblance to you?

This dad is a fucking IDIOT!!! Why in all the fucks would you let your daughter anywhere near R. Kelly? You know he’s a piece of shit, you know he’s a sexual predator, but you think it’s OK because he’s going to, “...help her with her CD”? No, NO, Hell to the NO!!!!!

Because staying “above the fray” has been working so well for us?

Yeah, I remember. All that high-low talk Michelle Obama was preaching before we lost the White House, the Senate, the House, the Supreme Court, our voting rights, healthcare, public education, etc, etc. But at least we kept the high ground, right?

Age Ain’t Nothin But a Number came out in 1994. You had 23 years to realize that kind of person R Kelly was not to mention that tape being released. And he had that pro-rape song with Gaga that got so much flack they didn’t release the video (THANK GOD). The way that society continuously forgives sexual assault, rape…

Lol. Who voted for Rob Kardashian over Jeff Sessions?

Body cams that can be turned off by the wearer are pretty fucking pointless.
