Except Pelosi is retiring the Speakership next year, and many of the others are roughly her age and won’t stay in those positions too long either. I guess AOC can always serve a term or two as a Senator, then come back to the House and run for Speaker. Then return to the Senate and run for majority leader. Then run…

Leave it to an Igbo man to trot themselves out as “deflectionary diversity pony”. Keep selling yourself short, these are the same people that threw their weight behind a brutal Civil War that decimated your homelands, but continue to launder their dirty laundry. Old goat.

If you're going to cite how good Mr. Lee is at writing female characters, She's Gotta Have It is not what you should be highlighting. Seriously, watch it again. Or don't, one was definitely enough for me.

I’m sorry, but I just have to say it: if people are “going into your neighborhood to get vaccinations”, you can claim that they’re stealing them, but you can’t also claim, unless you’re disabled, to be “struggling to gain access”. If it’s literally happening down the block and you don’t have mobility issues, then…

Um, this is Afro-pop? I don’t think she was doing that ten years ago. Also, this isn’t “Beyoncé’s” music in the traditional sense; it’s a collaborative album showcasing African music. It sounds nothing like her previous work, and the videos are actual masterpieces. I know it’s cool in some circles to look down your…

On the music front, I say unto you verily: your taste is subjective. I’ve only heard a few LNX songs, they weren’t my favorite things, I loved Frank Ocean’s Lonny Breaux Era (She Won’t Say Hello is in my all time top ten), even if I thought his last album was solidly mediocre and a bit boring. That, however, is my…

The ACTUAL difference, beyond your very subjective musical judgment, is that the other three make sure to be “appropriately” vague about their sexuality, unless they’re discussing heterosexual contact, in which case they are explicit. So vague, in fact, that there are still people out there today that will argue up…

Look, if you struggle with understanding admittedly complex issues like intersectional marginalization, it's best to just be silent on the issue rather than flattening the conversation with stupid comments. The point you raised is absolutely irrelevant to the article above it, and was just cover for you to complain…

There’s some backstory the article didn’t put in: some GOP group had a do somewhere in FL, and a 2024 straw poll they conducted had DeSantis edging Lardbucjet (it’s French) by a point or something. Must have freaked him out because he thinks of FL as the home state NY staunchly refused to be for him, and for anyone,…

Two things can be true.

I said it before that Jamie Spears is a predator and the rest of the family was in on it, and people on here were whining about how I didn’t know the whole story. Well, the whole story is out, and dude is even worse than I thought. This nonsense needs to end now.

Who is this person and why is his opinion on this topic valid?

Most of the attacks were as a result of bigotry against Asian Americans that was popularized by powerful and influential people. Even if the attackers were mentally ill (and many were not), it was not their mental illness that led them to single out Asian Americans, but public stigma. You know, kind of like the public…

Exactly. What they did wasn't whistleblowing, it was espionage. Everyone acts like they were these angels protecting everyday Americans from the big bad government, but most of the stuff they leaked was absolutely irrelevant to the everyday of basically everyone, and sometimes put the lives of intelligence assets in…

I know you hate H+M and look for every single instance to draw some false equivalency between them and the “very much NOT racist” klepto-colonialists, but the whole “factionalization” brouhaha was about them becoming financially independent so that taxpayers do not “support their rich arses”, so let’s try to have some…

“Subsidized” international students? What?!?!?

Now do HIV and botflies. Seriously people, the fact that something in nature seems intimidating or overwhelming doesn’t mean it was cooked up in a lab. This kind of “The Tyger” romanticism is anti-intellectual and completely ignores how complex and systemic natural processes often are. Science is derived from nature,…

Everyone here keeps going on about how they’re “a mess”, and you hope they “don’t spiral”, but all your mean comments and superior tones suggest otherwise. You can trash them for “not having it together” or “craving attention”, but you clicked this article, read the whole thing, probably clicked a few links and read…

Biden tries way to hard to "preempt" Republican attacks, and it's getting stupid. They are going to claim he's in league with Hamas no matter what he does, so why not actually be even-handed, which is the morally correct thing to do? This partiality to Israel will come back to bite the US the second they feel stable…

Yup! Nobody cares about their nakedly self-promotional “reunion”, because serious things are happening, and the other not-so-serious stuff is way more interesting. Dollar Store Beyonce and the poor man's Christian Bale are snooze goals.
