I think that’s a little too ridiculous—justtthe idea that this guy migh could have been at his own child’s funeral, but that Gayle King would either (a) not know that; (b) known, but have still made this crack; (c) known, but not said something about it on air (i.e., our condolences and prayers are with our colleague…

“Markle wasn’t being deceptive, just perhaps lazy. And in my podcasting America, that’s no crime.”

So he shouldn't have taken it off? Or he should only have taken it off if his Black co-workers had?

Rihanna is particularly disappointing given her own history with intimidate partner violence.

“And nobody, practically nobody, is defending us[.]”

The first paragraph of your comment begins and ends by criticizing the behavior of the person being threatened with revenge porn. Not with a repudiation of Mills; not with a repudiation of revenge porn; not even with empty lead-in language—rather, you just chastise the victim right out of the gate. And while I…

“[B]ringing models one step closer to basic rights such as requiring agencies to provide workers copies of their contracts and enacting a zero-tolerance policy for abuse.”

It’s extortion based on the threat of releasing revenge porn. Legally speaking, there is definitely a meaningful distinction. Morally, I agree that actually doing a sex crime is almost certainly worse than simply threatening to do a sex crime—but I don’t know that I’ve ever seen anyone on this site respond to a story…

Revenge porn is bad; people who release, or threaten to release revenge porn are bad; someone threatened with revenge porn may be good or bad—but their goodness or badness is totally and completely irrelevant to whether they deserve revenge porn disseminated of them, because literally no one deserves that. Grading…

“But his team seems to be turning on him rather than supporting him, so maybe there’s more to the story than we know.”

We both clicked on the article, and we’ve both commented. Now, do you see that wall of ads below the comments? That’s why this article was written.

They might have been able to if not for Andrew Tate telling anyone and everyone who would listen that he moved to Romania because the authorities there are corruptible on his budget. 

I feel like the “problems” with nepo babies in sports are less pronounced than in other arenas. No one is going to take a dive during a basketball game to make LeBron James’ kid look good. Being good at a sport is actually measurable, unlike with acting or music. You’re either strong, fast, good at throwing the ball,…

“I do think sometimes politics is sort of treated as a branch of the entertainment industry, who’s up, who’s down, who says what about who,” she said.

Is there any particular historic reason that it’s this particular day or event in the ending of slavery that gets commemorated for the ending of slavery? I’ve read a handful of the articles describing the meaning and significance of the holiday, but I haven’t seen anything that explains how it came to be that this one…

I’m relieved that no one is saying anything mean about the kid. Casting aspersions on the whole article, the true intentions of the police, etc., — all understandable. But I really expected people to be saying vicious shit about the kid, and I'm glad to have been proven wrong here.

I didn’t realize “The Wire” was never nominated for anything—wtf was wrong with Emmy people?! That is mind blowing.

In 2020, despite bungling damn near every last thing he did (other than nominate SCOTUS Justices off of the cheat sheet he got from the FedSoc) he still received more votes than any other Republican in history—an election in which Joe Biden won the electoral college (i.e., what actually determines who becomes…

I recall the show’s numbers getting panned last week as badly underperforming expectations compared to similar shows and premieres. However, by the time the second episode came out, the first episode had amassed better viewership numbers than the first episodes of Euphoria and White Lotus, respectively. Would those…

Every “wave” of feminism after the second (we’re up to 4 at this point, no?) seems to hold as true (to the point of being dogmatic—albeit, a dogma to which I subscribe,) that women are, and have historically been, a biologically (which I’m reading in the sense of Foucault’s notion of “biopower”,) oppressed global…
