Dean does not need to go. 

Even if he straight up states that yes, at 19 as a freshman I drank too much and thrust my genitals in another freshman’s face and her hand brushed it, what does it amount to? Penises aren’t inherently terrifying or scarring to behold. It shows he’s a boorish dickhead who committed a party foul, but a sex offense?…

I disagree. Their authorship, breadth of coverage, analysis, dedication to old-school on the ground reporting, remains class-leading. They may not get the oomph across in some stories, or not emphasize the points you think are most important, but I think their original reporting still sets a standard, and props up…

Be honest though. How many episodes of SNL, during their original broadcast, did you watch in the past 5 years? 

What is your experience that you refer to?

This article was about a black cop.

Jesus, there must be a way to strip comments of stylistic formatting, this is irritatingly manipulative and cringy to read. I feel I am reading a “very smart” eight grader’s manifesto for his “very well justified” Anti-Epic crusade. At the end of the day... for what? We’re talking about games right? Surely PC games…

About ~ 0.6% of the population is estimated to identify as trans, ranging from 0.3 - 0.8 across all states. In a state like California, that’s 218,000, big enough to create community, visibility. In Nebraska, it’s 5,400, small enough to smear them as some kind of Californian liberal deviant fever dream, great bogeyman…

I don’t think the right has much regard for or opinion of the Bush family any more, as demonstrated when Jeb was laughed out of the primaries. Obama probably has more kindness towards them than the modern Trump-ian Republican party. The old guard which sustained the Bushes in power have kept their winnings from years…

So, her acting history isn’t relevant to proving your point that she’s stolen roles from minorities (at least one example with Ghost in the Shell has been argued to death, but it dries up after that). Alright then. What other roles did she bail on after public pressure? If you’re coming out that strongly condemning…

Here’s her IMDB page. Can you point to the many dozen other times ScarJo made the same mistake?

It was her pitch and her attachment to it that let the project exist. The screenwriter, the director, the producers, the lead cast, basically assembled the project and the project was auctioned off to New Regency. Once New Regency committed 30mil to it, it actually existed. It’s not that New Regency was like oh we’ve…

No one gets out of the grays here, so you kinda just needlessly reiterated a hypothetical dumb point of some faux amalgamated rhetorical adversary.

The exact sentiment expressed in that tweet has been echoed in the comments here nearly verbatim by even the most active, Root-beloved participants, and even hinted at by the writers. There’s a whole lot of gatekeeping going on. I don’t think Cory Booker vouching for her is going to straighten anyone out, given they…

Man that reeks of ignorance. Kamala has a younger sister who is just as educated and capable as her, who’s interested in governance and public service, and you’re booing her for starting a “dynasty”? You would compare her to the Bushes? When either of them have incompetent, unaccomplished kids who get whisked into…

It seems you’re describing a hotel room, which an AirBnb definitely isn’t. It’s someone else’s home, and in NYC they live there with you, and you’re surrounded on all sides by lots of other people in their own apts living regular daily lives. If you’re the kind of guest who keeps it relatively mild, and maintains…

Blah, mentioning sports and unscripted in his list of how Fox is doing really well in diversity is cheating and a bit off. “We have the NFL! And `Cops`! And some reality show set on a Caribbean island (Probably?)! We’re doing great on average, what else do you want?!” Thought a network exec would have more finesse by…

I’m sure the list you mentioned has bigger fish to fry.

Come on, defacing public/respected property isn’t exclusive to white people, not even disproportionately more so than other races. A white girl tags a mural, and suddenly it’s like wtf whites? She may have been dumb af, you don’t have to follow suit.

Valid point is valid. If people are sitting in jail for doing the exact same thing that other people are now making a cushy living off of, especially a product that the other party laid the groundwork for, that is unconscionable. Restitution must be built into the profit/tax structure. Idk if any other place has…
