I hate FSU, but I make this point to people all the time (I live just outside of DC). A representative of the Seminole community comes to the games. There's a partnership there that, as much as a football mascot can, is intentionally respectful. It's definitely possible.

He's really oversimplfying an issue that is actually quite simple.

Just posted a nearly-identical comment elsewhere. Would TOTALLY kill a bottle of wine with her, talk kids and the patriarchy.*

Well, we still have Joey Lauren Adams.

Oh cool. Well, as long as they're ok.

White Men. They've always been super chill with it.

• Tina Fey shared some lovely words about the recently departed Jan Hooks:...Jan deserved a big movie career, certainly as big as Rob Schneider's fucking [career].

Renee, you keep doing you. You do look happy. Almost unrecognizable, but confident in yourself. Whatever it took, I'm glad you're in that space.

Matthew, please stop doing you if this is the kind of bullshit you want to put out there. Claiming that bigoted branding gives you "oomph" makes you sound more clueless and…

This. "We were all fine with it". Who is "we" in this statement?

That's the thing about these Matthew McConaugheys, each year I get smarter, they just stay the same age (about 13 mentally).

For years I've been very meh towards Jennifer Garner, but is it me or has she been just fucking killing it lately?

Dear Mr. McConaughey: There have been people trying to get the previously-DC-now-Maryland football team to change their name since the early '70s. Don't fall into the fallacy that some folks try to push (usually the same assholes who complain about SJWs in GamerGate) that it's a new complaint, or that it was never a…

Yeah, McConaughey, let's make sure we keep the spirit of the 1930s alive when it comes to race relations.

Noted race scholar Matthew McConaughey shared his thoughts on the push to change the Washington Redskins team name in the latest issue GQ.

Do you actually know this blogger or her blog? Hale wrote the article in such a way that she'd have you believe Blythe wrote nothing but 1 star reviews and had fake social media accounts just to torment people. That is not the case. Blythe was a book blogger for over 2 years who gave multiple 4 and 5 star reviews, and…

I'm sorry as an author who has received a 1 star review ( to be exact 5 ) I can honestly say it is not a life ruining event. My dreams were not destroyed. I still write and do so with great joy. Here's the deal, when you send your little darling book in the world, and trust me no one loves their book more than I…

That's NOT investigation. Let's be clear. That is 100% stalking. If anyone in your life is calling your workplace, showing up unannounced at your home and you're not a missing loved one - call the police. You absolutely go through the business you're dealing with, Yelp or Goodreads or whatever.

IIRC, at one point a character pretends she's a battered girlfriend in order to get information from someone and it's, like, a hilarious joke. Ugh.

I glanced at the scene (excerpted in another review I can't seem to find right now) that I think the reviewer is talking about re the domestic abuse. The narrator and the victim's brother, who had PTSD, infiltrate some kind of group for domestic violence pretending that the brother hits her. The scene is handled…

Hmmm. I've actually read the book in question and I wouldn't say there is "no rape" in it. A character who is a minor has an affair with a much older man, and since the age of consent is 18 in Wisconsin (where the book takes place) there are in fact mentions of statutory rape in the book (which is real rape, and…
