LeBron has exemplified a principle we already (or should already) know: being a good athlete or artist does not necessarily make someone upstanding or moral. 

Wow, lots of hot takes in the greys—and from all extremes!

It’s not that boomers are solely responsible for racism, bigotry, etc., so much as they’re incredibly prone to vote for their own, or their elders, despite the fact that this age cohort’s leadership has been regressive and disastrous by almost any metric. On top of that, 20 years of non-stop shade about avocado toast…

Well, that doesn’t exactly an answer to my question, you know? I was already sold on the idea that you had the potential to create problems in his marriage; whatever extant problems are already there, it sounds like you’re holding onto some information that’ll at least add fuel to the fire. So do you not like your…

Dude is long past expiration. The question is whether AOC could win a Senatorship on the strength of New York’s more progressive areas alone, or whether she needs some buy in from them more conservative corners (which, presumably, is how Schumer stays in business.)

Are Joachim and his family particularly loathed by the Danish people? Are Frederik and his particularly loved? Why would the Danish people care whether a handful of people, who it seems will be rich as hell regardless, carry royal titles? This is a real question--I know little or nothing about the Danish royal family,…

Is that even permissible everywhere though? I admit to not following the minutiae of individual red states’ transphobic policies, but I thought places like Texas had made it illegal (at least for now) to give gives anything that could even charitably be categorized as a transitioning aid.

Kelly’s actions and stances are fundamentally incompatible with feminism, lest you think the movement encompasses all the shitty things women individual women choose to do, rather than being a principled ideology rooted in pro-women values.

If Hillary Clinton, a white boomer neo-lib, couldn’t win the Presidency, I don’t see a millennial Latina progressive/leftist (leftist/progressive by American standards at least,) winning—at least not until a whole lot more boomers... ahem “expire”. And I say that as someone who would probably vote for her in a…

I’d ask why he is still on the SC, but at this point, it doesn’t matter. The orange turd put in enough lackeys all over the government it would probably be better to burn it down and start over.

Uhm, there is definitely a good reason, and it’s that this is the year 2022, and being a prince or princess doesn’t mean anything.

I’ve wanted to let my SIL know all the shitty things my brother said about women for the entire 25 years he walked the earth before he met her. He especially hated women who pursued graduate degrees and careers - both of which she has. I wonder if she’ll be surprised.

Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference’s current policy allowing trans athletes to compete based on their gender identity

The point of pressing charges would not have been to derive some outsized political benefit; MTG kicked someone—she should not have done that, and the fact that she’s now done so unchecked could lead to her escalating as she continued to test her boundaries like a petulant teenager. Pressing charges would have at…

I wouldn’t be afraid to take a gander and say she’s a difficult person to be wed to. Though, who knows, Perry might be just as difficult. We don’t know much about him or his politics, other than the fact that he was okay with being married to MTG for 27 years.

The difference between this guy and Mulaney is that neither Mulaney’s ex, Annamarie Tendler, nor Mulaney, claim there was cheating. Last time this came up (and I read about it here,) the “allegations” apparently came from an “anonymous source” close to one or more of the principals. And that’s it. There are no…

They wrote it, and we clicked/viewrd and commented. So, we can throw shade from the cheap seats, but we’re rewarding this behavior. To the extent that there is in fact a problem, the problem is (ultimately) our low standards.

I’m not sure what your bar for “ownership” is, but there is very clearly an idea in society that some individuals have license, or more license, to do/say certain things than others based on their background and experiences. This concept dovetails with the sentiment that underlies whether something is “authentic” and p…

I mean, yeah, it was out there. She announced it last year on her IG and the Daily Beast did a whole story about it last August. But who’s ainobody out here following Rachel Dolezal on socials and you know your people don’t read so that was easy to miss it’s a slow news day, and we need to eat.

I find it hard to believe that someone advocating for pedophilia simply came to the conclusion via some fucked up or twisted deliberation and thought, or were persuaded to the position. I’d wager that the people on these forums talking up the idea of hooking up with 12-year-olds were probably going to be pedophiles no…
