Very dumb. Also super weird and infuriating that the descendants of slaves have been the only ones who haven’t been allowed to pass into whiteness to any extent. Obviously there are many groups that aren’t treated as white now, but most of the other groups that had big waves that then ended eventually intermarried and…

I am normally not a swooning type, but almost every picture I have seen of Chadwick Boseman during the premieres and award season, I have to fan myself.

That’s not how supply and demand work.

Well, in the early 1900s, the “whitest” whites were considered to be from Northern Europe. The prejudice and fear against immigrants from Southern Europe and Eastern Europe was a mix of racial, religious (Catholic and Jews, not Protestants) and political (a lot of anarchists and socialists).

I am just here late to say that my dad worked for a newspaper and he would take me to tour the printing press for fun. I was always terrified that the giant rolls of newsprint that were being ferried around were going to roll off and crush me.

Honestly, Jezebel always seemed to respect readers a bit more than Gawker, which had a really disdainful relationship. The Root came from outside that universe, which maybe helped.

I am of mediocre attractiveness, and I am friends with a number of ladies who, because of weight or looks or whatever, have not had much (or any) romantic success. However, as women, we tend to focus this rejection inward, and don’t focus it as outward rage on all the handsome men we “deserve”.

It is definitely out of date, but I assume that your bad handwriting has some unique qualities.

It was just a security thing they had you do before taking the test. I guess a signature was not enough...

God. I remember having to copy out an entire paragraph in cursive to take my GRE over a decade ago. At that point I hadn’t written anything in cursive in about 15 years and I basically couldn’t do it.

Exactly.

Especially because Monica Lewinsky was the least of it. The affair with her was consensual (albeit with power differentials). The other “Clinton women” have accused him of rape and sexual harassment.

Am currently on a video conference. Will blame you if I get fired.

Our requirements in high school in the dark ages were one year of World History and one year of US History. The issue is that it is really hard to squeeze the history of the entire world and all its cultures into one year, and it was inevitably weighted towards European history. But I found it really helpful learning…

I think more like winning bobsled and luge.

I mean, I love dancehall reggae so I might like his stuff. My only exposure to him was at high school dances.

If I know anything, it is that smoking weed makes you extremely edgy and violent and prone to shoot people.

Snow!? Now I am remembering how I thought that song was saying “I’ll lick her boom boom there.” Still have no idea what the actual lyrics are.

This reminds me at my first job I had to supervise an intern who happened to be the high school daughter of a coworker. The email she gave me to send work-related documents to was something like 69sexkitten@hotmail.com.

I think I drank St. Pauli Girl’s. The answer is there is non excellent non-alcoholic beer, but the bitter, carbonated taste was something that seemed to settle my stomach when I was pregnant.
