And the non-voters. I blame the ones who weren’t systemically disenfranchised but felt like their lives were good enough to not give a fuck who’s in office in any election, but especially presidential ones.

I want them to aspire to be the next Ted Kennedy with Mitch McConnell’s strategic fuckery to get some progressive shit done. Part of why I’ve been scratching my head over Sanders love was the 30+ years in Senate without getting that. Harris is almost there with it, Warren could if she wanted to, Booker if he got less…

Considering that this was the same era where Julia Robert’s character couldn’t hook up with Denzel Washington’s character in a movie based off a book where those characters did get down I vaguely believe it. Though I bet money it was more likely that some executive in ‘95 would’ve just shoe-horned Roberts or <insert…

The messenger not being black does not negate the message. The ‘tummy teas’, Beyonce’s pepper lemon water fast, the waist trainer reliance, pill pimping, this water fast - it’s all part of a harmful trend that hits us as much as any other group, if not more once you sprinkle in eurocentric beauty standards harming the…

Insensitive, yes - but still a sound critique: a famous person’s platform used to tout a potentially dangerous fast on a fan base that’s likelier to not know any better can still be fatal. Her not being black/not trying to understand some of the cultural aspects that come with our bodies does sting like hell, yes. But…

Love, love, love that Danielle and Universal Standard have done this. Pregnancy isn’t all cute bumps and it does happen to those over a size 18/20. Will wish that their Fit Liberty collection applied to more of the brand, particularly coats/jackets as seasonality and size changes do happen.

I get this issue of the primaries, really. But: isn’t this more about the bigger issue of this country being shitty towards minorities in general? Black people live everywhere, even Iowa. Candidates still need to be able to address issues that matter to non-white people, even if there are only 1 to 2 of us in a room.…

Those people in 2008 were ultimately not paying enough attention, too many (particularly too many white liberals) saw him as more progressive due to his race over his politics and then got themselves in their feelings when it turned out that the differences between Obama and Clinton in ‘08 were tissue-thin. Obama ran…

Eh. Snarky -yes. Condescending? Eh. Fox News-ing shit he said (and been saying since his victory in 2008) had fuck-all to do with Biden’s anti-dope stance (imagine he’s the type to still call it dope) in this primary for 2020, particularly when context clues point to “I wouldn’t run like I did in ‘08 because some…

He’s definitely of a generation that couldn’t inhale and it shows.

That’s a reading comprehension issue at play: he didn’t say that he did the best, it’s over and done. He said that were he running in ‘20 after his record he wouldn’t be running the same type of campaign because 2008 is different than 2020 so maybe take his name out of their mouths. The things that mattered, the…

The point got lost in people’s feelings - which is the damn problem that got Trump in office. If you want fire-brand big bold policies the President isn’t where you get them - it’s Congress. Look at the fuckers who get elected to Congress - both chambers. The Presidency only works to set the tone, but the beat gets…

But Lawful Evil has follow through and the ability to rationalize, Chaotic just wants to see the world burn

Most evil, like lawful evil. Bolton is chaotic.

God, this episode ruled at all of the things. Thoughts:

Errors to the review aside, it still earns a C- for execution - the need for nuance and clarity when it comes to trans rights and trans people was done better when Kyle wasn’t joining the ‘stunning and brave’ train with Caitlyn Jenner because regardless of her living her truth finally Caitlyn Jenner is still a shitty…

Really keen answer, one that should get to the Blexit/5-Percenter/Hotep/Woker-Than-Thou crowd and also jab at the “Why aren’t you people going democratic socialist or further left” folks: no system of government is free of racism - racism goes beyond party and ideology. There’s some racist shit in democratic socialist…

Or: even the most evil of evil foreign policy wonks are smart enough to stay the fuck away from this current situation.

IDK, he’s the kind of cute that’d make you smile and then he opens his mouth and...swoon. Kind of glad People’s gone cerebral.

Considering how much one can charge for GOOD protective styling and the maintenance of cute natural hair styles the only excuse to be a dick about hair here is certified racism. Particularly in New York City, home of fashion week and appropriating white women rocking ‘fros and ‘boxer braids’...
