And I answered your question (because they want to) but that wasn’t good enough.

You can have a discussion about the use of SM, lots of people have and I would recommend that you seek out that research if you want to know why people take million selfies. Boiling it down to narcissism or insecurity is the easiest answer to reach for. And even if it is narcissism/insecurity, then what? Is that an…

But that is how you feel and no one is forcing you to publicize it. If this is part of her grieving process then let her process how she wants. You could just look away.

Because they want to?

I spent election day 2016 traveling from CA to Michigan for a job interview. It was a disaster trip with delayed flights and having to go through Minneapolis and I should have just gone home and given up. Instead, I had a job interview where a lot of people were just reeling. I did not get the job which I am glad in…

5 years is not too long to get out of this. trump is a different strain of conservatism. It is not a disagreement about fiscal responsibility anymore (if it ever was), it is about empathy, humanity, fascism, virulent racism etc. It affects every part of our lives and there is no easy way to separate someone who is…

That’s the sort of privilege afforded to people where people who share your politics are relatively abundant.

I know Ken Jennings seems to be the heir apparent but I really want someone more personable for sure. I follow/ed Ken on twitter and his sense of humor was more miss than hit

I’ve never seen it but my partner’s 64 year old dad has watched/watches it and he likes it *shrug*

I feel this so much. I somehow end up being one of the few Nigerians my friends know or have ever met so I end up explaining cultural things so much that I worry that my singular narrative is now representative of all of Nigerian culture. I don’t have to choose my words carefully when I am talking to my Nigerian…

Though none of the involved creators have commented on the backlash, Grazer and Howard’s carefully worded statement to THR seemingly anticipates dissent to some degree by framing Lang’s story as “universal”

That is a facetious counter. For Apollo 13, I’m sure they had access to astronauts and NASA to get it right. Sure they have access to Lang Lang here but unless the movie is about him, alone, never interacting with people or his culture, then they will need more people with knowledge of culture at that time to present…

Non-white folks have had to learn white culture and history that we can make movies about white folks that are accurate. It does not always happen the other way...

Even if we give museums the benefit of doubt that not everything in a museum was obtained through looting and pillaging, when countries ask for their artifacts back to display in their own countries, the museums go, eh, maybe we’ll loan it to you, maybe.

I am 99% sure that every woman in his life, including his mom, hates him as they should.

That was my introduction to jason whitlock and I will carry my anger at him to my grave.

I’ll continually yell my eternal Fuck you to Jason Whitlock. Not sure how he still had a career after saying Serena Williams was grazing in a stall between tournaments. Then again, he was talking about a Black woman so not many people cared. Now that he’s come for Katie, maybe there will be some blowbac... hahahaha,…

If you haven’t seen the second season of Titans, Iain Glenn’s portrayal of an older Batman that seems to be somewhat at peace is also interesting and one of my favorite portrayals. He is not on screen much but I liked it.

Yeah, I think that is a symptom however I do agree that Batfleck is really good and the only redeeming quality of BvS. The DCEU movies have good premises for the most part. It is absolutely valid that Batman was mad at Supes for leaving so much destruction in his wake post MoS but it was a one sided anger that led to…

But “don’t have to” and “must absolutely not” aren’t the same thing.
