Now do one where a Silverado EV crushes Phil Leotardo’s head while he says how great Chevy is.

When people oppose affordable housing, they often do it for reasons other than distaste for poorer people. Instead, they raise the kinds of concerns Chappelle is voicing here: the development is not consistent with the character of the neighborhood, or it won’t be aesthetically pleasing, or it will increase traffic,…

I hope to have more man to mans with you in the future

LOVED that scene. 

this does perpetuate the idea that it’s the path to success

Every biotech investor she approached apparently did say that, or she avoided presenting to them because she knew what the answer would be and didn’t want to poison the market.

No one is dropping out of college to start a company because of Elizabeth Holmes. Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg sailed that ship a loooong time ago.

It’s hard obsessed, though, because her voice is so bonkers. It adds to the whole incredulity  of the story. She was so bizarre and weird and yet people threw money at her. I mean, she comes off as a complete nut job and yet everybody seemed to pretend it was normal 

That’s a fairly subjective take based on basically nothing. Considering he’s acting his damn ass off as Eli. 

I don’t know Awkwafina personally, but I went to high school with hundreds of Asian kids who, if you were blindfolded, you would have thought were Black or Hispanic. It was New York in the 90s, hip hop was ubiquitous and dominant, and you wouldn’t bat an eyelid when even the white kids looked and talked like they were…

I don’t know exactly if this is the point she’s trying to land on, but there is a fun phenomenon with European NBA players, especially the first wave to come over in the 90s.

They learn American idioms and slang from their co-workers who are overwhelmingly African-American. Detlef Schremp sounded like Hans/Frans meets…

I don’t think he is racist. I do think he is a believer in latching onto the most hardline progressive viewpoint available at any given moment without applying a lot of examination to it. So, cultural appropriation = bad. Full stop. Anything that looks like appropriation definitely is. Anyone that does it is…

This “controversy” is fucking idiotic. She grew up in an extremely urban environment, and learned to speak from the people around her, the shows she watched, and the music she listened to. There’s no appropriation, that’s just how people from NYC talk.

My issue here is that I think it's incumbent upon the accuser to demonstrate that it is, indeed, imitative, rather than adoptive.  Put simply, maybe Awkwafina just talks that way sometimes?

I await the discussion about the Wu Tang Clan and their appropriation of Asian culture.

Whenever people are clutching pearls about AAVE, they never do a good job of explaining to anyone how making up words and then scolding white people for embracing something that gets deeply ingrained within our culture is reasonable, necessary, or important. Instead, we get furious harassment, endless overstatement of…

Yeah, I can understand why people without that context might think she’s making fun of people, but she’s literally from Queens. She sounds like the people she grew up with, like we all do - should she have to change her accent to fit with other people’s pre-conceived notions of what Asian-Americans are supposed to…

That’s a lot of money that’s not going to the people that made it possible for Bezos to have the boat in the first place.

Spare us, dude. Bleeding hearts for the suffering mega-yacht industry?

Couldn’t pay to me touch Lepow. In 2019 I had a failed screen I got from them and they offered to replace it, no questions asked, but when it came to actually doing it, they stopped responding. Left them a negative review and I started getting emails from various spam looking Chinese addresses begging me to remove the…
