Ice Cube: “Maybe we should have put a slave in Staight Outta Compton.” 5:00 mark.

my friend is a producer for 20/20 and I convinced her to pitch Flint for the next episode. I can only hope they dive deep into these very telling redacted emails

It was actually “inconsistent”. I remember because that’s when I almost started crying. Such complete and utter failure to protect this poor kid.

To echo an earlier commenter, it's cruel and unnecessary to mock this kid for writing a song for his brother.

Brendan: “they said my statement wasn’t consistent”

As toolish as this is, I also feel weird about putting this up to make fun of. I’d rather ignore it. This isn’t Chet Haze. This is some guy whose learning disabled brother was railroaded and sent to life in prison. Maybe his rap is douchey and he’s a douche but I can’t necessarily make fun of the sentiment.

I am probably the wrong person to comment on anything to do with the Marine Corps, as I am one of those people who would like to see the Marines disbanded as needlessly redundant (as well as hopelessly anachronistic and probably detrimental to overall military function). It is no surprise, given the longstanding…

Her parenting style must work, since Lourdes is apparently relatively normal.

I think the boy could probably use a break from Madonna, as I have no doubt her gargantuan celebrity persona (to say nothing of the demands of her tour) could easily steamroller a kid’s emerging, independent personality.

I like the requirement to label digital manipulation, but not sure how I feel about the BMI requirement. It seems weirdly judgmental in its own way. I think France is trying to do the right thing here, though.

I really don’t see much room for commentary on women’s success here, though, accidental or otherwise. It’s more about how social media and presenting an idealized image of our lives has become so all-consuming.

Seriously. The way Oscar Pistorius cried in court every day, snot every where, throwing up. Like, Jesus, get a fucking grip, asshole. You killed your girlfriend in cold blood with four “zombie stoppers” that basically destroy an entire skull, and suddenly you’re a kid again and can’t stop crying in public. That…

Bless you! I’ve been saying “Swar-she” in my head since Atonement.

I went to Comic-Con, and waited in line to take a picture with her, and she had this pup with her then too! She was just so kind and sweet, she held my hand! and when she thought the photo didn’t turn out well, she asked the picture people to take a second one, and she was right, the first photo I had my eyes closed.…

Why don’t you kill yourself? I mean, you spend time on a blog making a 5 paragraph comment. I think your life must suck and not be worth living. My outrageous opinion is being heard!

A few months ago, there was a really strong and strange (to me) critique of the movie Hot Girls Wanted for shining a light on an aspect of the porn industry that is very woman un-friendly. The article read to me like it was accusing the documentary producers of taking a hardline, anti-porn stand, which I don’t think…

It’s almost like a violent male-centric wish-fulfilment industry that is designed for jerking off to is inherently expolitative, despite people’s best intentions and tumblr blogs!

I know an actress who was doing an off-Broadway show and the lead actor was abusive, at one point saying he wanted to slice her eyeball with a razor which is spooky specific. No one stood up for her. As you show with you examples of others, it’s hardly limited to porn.

If that’s the litmus for kicking someone off a flight, I’m never going to be allowed to fly again! (I hatehatehatehate slow-walking people when I'm trying to move through airports.)
