This is also one of the real dangers of a culture that treats expertise as “elitism” and views people with the kind long-term extensive training that doctors go through with mistrust and suspicion.

“But she should be subject to that criticism. It should be an uncomfortable space for a white artist to appropriate black music. It’s only because of her white privilege that Iggy can be in that uncomfortable space but not have it get in the way of her career.”

Paul Ryan doesn’t want to fix Oabamacare, he wants to burn it to the ground. There is no way to negotiate with a person who holds that stance. he’s basically a political terrorist.

Guess what. “Religious” christians beat their kids all the time. Remember that horrible “To Train Up a Child” book? “https://www.babble.com/mom/to-train-up-a-child-teaches-punishment-that-kills-kids/ Do you know that some Christians sell “beating sticks” that ensures it doesn’t leave bruises?

if i had a dime for every time i saw an ugly/mediocre tall guy having better success with attractive women than his shorter counterparts in person...

NO NO NO STOP. I understand that there is a curve for government officials and this man seems intelligent and sane and anyone who can take down this shit sandwich of a corrupt administration is bangable like, by definition now, but just no. Also it is continually baffling to me how height alone is a major factor in…

My grandpa died of Alzheimer’s in his mid 80s. My grandma is 93 and has Alzheimer’s. My dad is 61 and I’m concerned that he is getting Alzheimer’s.

Old celluloid film was highly combustible and made of cellulose which degrades over time.

I mean they died, but it’s like whatever, nbd.

Fletcher also indicted the notoriously liberal city of Portland for having a “white savior complex” (a problem with a lot of progressives), which lets them ignore the teens being targeted in favor of the white men who intervened. He then included a link to a fundraising page for the girls and encouraged viewers to…

I swear on the grave of Agatha Christie that Hercule Poirot did not have a soul patch.

There are only five days left in 2017's legislative session before lawmakers adjourn until 2019

what. ever. will still watch. the rock is rarely shirtless in most of his movies and vh1 had bob the drag queen and katya promoting it, both of which basically raise the rotten tomatoes score to like 40% for my purposes. also, if i sat thru san andreas, i can sit thru this.

Call me cynical, but yeah. I tend to suspect a lot of people self-identifying as non binary are tourists. Bowie wannabes.

They identify as a genderqueer non-rapist, but they may have straight, consent-fluid sexual interactions.

Fallon isn’t my favorite by any stretch of the imagination, but sometimes I need to escape all of the the Trump stuff for half an hour or so. Even the funny satires still make me think something along the lines of “shit, this overgrown sentient Cheeto is our PRESIDENT”. I kind of welcome a break from that and lip sync…

I feel like Ellen has walked this line very carefully. She’s made it clear that Trump isn’t welcome on her show but doesn’t belabor the point. She speaks up a few times each year when political issues become too hard to ignore.

Hot take: Fallon doesn’t strike me as someone who could even be taken seriously if he suddenly shifted to a more politically, left-learning program type. He doesn’t have that kind of venom. Comparing him to Colbert, Bee, or any of the current (amazing) vipers isn’t really a fair comparison.

I totally agree. I think his choice of the term “bullying” was ill-advised...”pressured” might have been more accurate, but the whole idea that Jimmy Fallon, of all people, should be doing more political commentary seems pretty absurd.
