There’s actually been a recent phenomenon of previously published books becoming bestsellers due to somehow being prescient in their relevance to our present crisis/crises, so this may be well be part of it, as people are seeking ways to process it all. Ijeoma Oluo (So You Want to Talk About Race), Ibram X. Kendi (How…

I see what you’re saying, but I don’t think it’s possible.

Bear with me here... can I request that Jez start doing profiles of non-problematic female CEOs/execs as well? I know that people like Sophia Amorouso, Tyler Haney, Miki Agrawal, Christene Barberich, Audrey Gelman, et al are independently controversial but we could all benefit from a more positive brand of feminism.

Watch how quickly this gets twisted into restaurants aren’t supporting the troops or some shit like that.

Fucking thank you. I barely skimmed that post because it just dripped with white liberalism.

I’m honestly shocked that R. Kelly still had a career after the pee video. I remember looking around in bewilderment when Step in the name of Love was released and R. Kelly referred to himself as the Pied Piper of R&B.

Yeah, I read that as the prosecutor asking Cosby if taking Benadryl would make him sleepy, and Cosby admitting it would and by extension that he knew it would make someone else sleepy if he gave it to them.
