Even more terrible?

I’ve never been to Europe. I think it’s just a conspiracy of cartographers.

But I think the chief reacted to a lot of public pressure and scrutiny in making a decision that doesn’t fit the conduct.”

On Retta’s Instagram story her rebuttal was “sure Lindsay, Hitler never killed me.”

This is really beautifully stated, and gets right to the heart of it. A lot of people are like that, though, a lot of times we have a complete inability to even conceptualize the experiences of other people, because we assume that whatever we as individuals have gone through is the norm.

Why are you in the grays?

Notice she didn’t say the Weinstein never groped her, flashed her or made a pass - he never “harmed” her. She’s probably okay with anything up to being bludgeoned. After all, she yachts.

Well, I have never been to the moon, so the moon landing was faked.

He’s a Famous Man. He wanted to grab breasts. He can have what he wants because he’s a Man and Famous. The president said so.

He doesn’t think of her as a fully formed human, she’s an object.

It’s right up there with “it’s snowing outside right now so climate change obviously isn’t real.”

She really just wanted to get her name in the headlines with all the big players- Goop, Angelina, etc.

I love your hatred for her. I can kind of only shake my head usually but the whole “she was asking for it” defense people espouse needs to fucking stop already. It took me a decade before I started to believe what happened to me was actually not my fault.

“He’s never harmed me so he’s clearly never harmed anybody” ??????

And it’s the calm-rage. Like... oh fuck it, I’m quoting a Redditor:

Dude has heart, that’s hard to deny. Give the man a bit of credit, he ain’t just there for the cultural appropriation, he’s sincere.

Speaking as a late-30s white woman, there is a difference between hip-hop & rap. And I would say that Eminem is definitely rap, but with some hip-hop thrown in to engage a wider audience. But that’s just like, my opinion.

Much like The Beastie Boys his lyrics may have evolved as he’s matured. Just because he spouted misogynist bullshit at 20 doesn’t make him one currently. (I honestly don’t know anything about the current content of his lyrics.) Full disclosure: I’m from Detroit where he places just behind Bob Seger as our most low key…

You mean like 8 mile?

I don’t like eminem that much, but damn this was well-done, full of authentic rage and truth, and carthartic AF to watch.
