No. It’s code for “When dad left and had a second family we didn’t completely reject them. Even though they’re black! Where’s our medal??”

This is the first time I’ve actually seen what Meghan Markle’s half-sister looked like. And damn. I knew she was older than Meghan but didn’t realize she was that much older.

responding to ads to clarify the terms of their policies.

 II mentioned this in the AV Club post, but it bears repeating: It means the world to me that Sasha chooses a full on intellectual woman as her persona. Granted, it’s one not far from who she is IRL, but Ru rarely rewards the type of drag Sasha does. The brainy artsy NYC types tend to do well enough, but rarely make…

I’ve always thought of it as a defense mechanism. Imagine you’re the first black president and throughout your entire presidency, people are throwing the most offensive racist shit at you. Then the loudest and most obnoxious of the whole incapable and embarrassing lot actually wins the election after you and does…

$284Billion and her first thought is “oh, my Xmas lights” and not “someone done fucked up?”

You do realize that these rules aren’t put in place to actually stop any kind of harassment or anything, right? They’re put in place so that employees have a harder time suing the company if they do get harassed.

Vinson told police he had been arguing with his stepfather in a series of text messages. Owensby wanted him to do chores around the house and chip in money for the household, the affidavit says.

It’s the lesser option actually. Michael’s title means he’s descended from a king but doesn’t have his own title. It’s also one that can’t be shared with his wife, so she’s...like...Ofmichael.

Actually any wife of a prince can go by “Princess [husband-name]” - it’s a weird artifact of medieval times. Just because you marry a prince doesn’t make you a princess - you have to have the royal blood for it. That won’t stop the media from using terms like “Princess Diana” or “Princess Kate” (neither of whom were…

“no mistakes”

That YouTuber was almost worth it for the judges reactions.

Indeed. Call home to your family? Going home. Win the car? Going home.

Yeah, the allegory there breaks down a bit and I think it works better as a work of cohabitation and tolerance rather than some sort of direct racial allegory (the whole predator vs prey thing in the animal kingdom features “natural” aggression and fear that doesn’t quite work with human races).

Zootopia has some weirdness with its allegory too, with its changing its mind halfway through about who the oppressed and oppressors are supposed to be. Except it’s well written enough that you barely even notice.

So ... it’s a Shadowrun movie, as written by a 16-year-old gamer bro who just discovered the existence of racism?

I’ll take the opposing view on that one. The judges’ obvious discomfort around the influencer-of-people-even-stupider-than-he-is actually made me like the judging panel all the more...and that’s a judging panel that includes Hosea, so it took some doing.

I was kinda pissed off that there weren’t enough clean pans for the Sudden Death Quickfire. To use a phrase construction the judges often employ, this is Top Chef, not Top Dishwaher! They knew they would have a second quickfire; how hard would it have been to have extra pans on hand? If it’s not in the budget, just do…

I mean if there is one actress I have to say... Farris has some Goldie qualities.

I still don’t understand this complaint, considering both Obi-Wan and Yoda went into exile instead of trying to right their wrongs. Obviously the situation was different for them what with every Jedi being hunted down, but I still think a realistic reaction to failure is escapism. Luke was much more interesting as a…
