Can we knock it the fuck off with the ‘Sander’s supporters are naïve and think he’s magic socialist Santa Claus who will enact his entire platform with a wave of his magic wand’ narrative? Seriously. Like, we fucking understand political reality. We know that a good portion of Sander’s platform is going to be…

Sweetie? Sweetie? SWEETIE???

or Last Holiday! I *LOVE* that movie! Or Something New!

I really, really liked Something New. Sanaa Latham and Simon Baker were great together.

There was an interesting article on 538 recently about the psychological differences of being uninformed vs misinformed. Uninformed people respond to facts by learning. Misinformed people react to facts by backing themselves into a defensive posture and screaming about liars rather than deal with the emotional aspects…

I feel like when white folks complain about race issues, some are worried they’ll be treated the same way that minorities were treated for much of American history.

And I wanna say, “No, we won’t do that to you. We won’t set up specific race-based laws to keep you from working, running your own businesses, voting,…

Mommas don’t let your babies play football as babies, either. This case is important because it shows that it’s not necessarily a long career in the NFL that does it — the damage done when playing peewee, high school, and college count, but no one talks about it. Scary shit.

I’m pretty confident that no man who reads an article about a woman being murdered for not wanting to fuck a stranger, reads a bunch of comments by women relating their own terrifying experiences with strange men, and then decides to derail the conversation into “but what about the MENZ it is so hard for MEEEEEEE” is…

Well....that escalated quickly. Not so sure you’re actually “one of the good ones” if you can go from “my feelings are hurt” to “fuck you she was crazy” in .02 seconds, honestly.

I met a guy at a party recently. He kept striking up a conversation with me even though it was clear (to me) that I wasn’t interested. At first, he said “wow - you’re a tough nut to crack!”, then “you seem so reserved - it must be difficult to get to know you, but I want to try! Say, Tuesday night?” (I said no). A…

Julie Delpy has somehow gotten this far in life without ever having seen, heard of or met a black woman. Are we unicorns? Do we not exist? We’re apparently just myth.

Yep! My mom had to have her department-store credit card as “Mrs. Husband Name” in the ‘70s. When I was a kid, just learning to read at 4 or 5, I remember asking her why it said “Mrs. James” when I knew her name was Linda... She sorta hesitated while explaining that that was Just The Way It Was (because how to explain…

Not to be this guy, but: Sanders voted against the actual Hyde Amendment to begin with, so there’s that. Sanders has a 100% rating from NARAL Pro-Choice because of his voting record and stance on choice issues, so I think it’s fascinating that anyone could try to argue that he hasn’t made women’s issues a big enough…

Yeah, it makes a huge difference for campuses in the middle of high poverty/high crime areas, like UC. Cincinnati has real issues to deal with (honest to god, Clifton isn’t far off from some of the most dangerous neighborhoods in the country, even as they’re in the middle of being gentrified), beyond busting up…

The president has been incredibly upset by this and he’s respected by the SJW (not a pejorative) community. His wife is a civil rights attorney, as well. They have absolutely not taken this lightly, at the very least.

What was everyone's height of Real World love? Mine was New Orleans, I remember like being obsessed with every moment, every cast member from the casting special on. My cousin and I would eat bagel bites in the basement and just watch marathons of it to relive every second.

This will never be more depressing than the time potato stood in for muffins and nobody noticed its time in the spotlight:

also, she looks radiant in that cover shot!
