Fuck Bob Dylan. I don’t want to hot take or anything(even though I personally don’t think he deserves it at all), but if he was going to be a giant wrinkled nutsack about receiving what is arguably the HIGHEST HONOR IN THE FUCKING WORLD then he should have just declined it. And I’ve seen a lot of “oh! It’s just Bob…

I’m not as generous as you are. I like his music well enough, but do NOT think he deserved the award and have no patience for his grumpy nonchalance!

Schadenfreude is taking pleasure in the suffering of others, shade is giving an insult in such an indirect and offhanded fashion as to leave people in doubt as to whether or not the insult was intended or even given at all. How could one throw shade through schadenfreude?

How about you blame homophobia on ignorance and hate without apologizing for it by blaming it on bullshit like “cultural nuances”, the black man’s struggle with hypermasculinity and the tricksy and false white people? And a couple more things for the record - thinking that gay men aren’t real men because they’re gay…

Well, I can see the Bernie Bros are out in force.

Well, I guess that means I can remove ANTM from my DVRs list of series to record.

And Tyra…

Well, at least I know I can write off 75% of you asshole commenters as transphobic fuckwads.

I’m very disappointed in Adichie’s words. It just goes to show that even the most “woke” and intelligent amongst us have a lot to unpack. And while I am not the most evolved in my thinking on gender (I have a lot of homework to do), I’m thankful that my transgender and gender queer friends have opened my eyes and mind…

Congrats to her and Constance Wu who don’t give a fuck about hurting their careers by pissing off the sexist frat bros who run Hollywood and will probably side with Affleck.

princess valhalla hawkwind would not have clapped also.

Enjoy your day, ladies.

I’m going to address both of your comments :)

It’s writing like this that keeps me coming back to The Root. You guys are doing good work and this site has quickly become one of my go to’s.

Do you know who I miss? I miss President Obama. Monique broke this last night but the Obama administration was a political machine with the nation’s best interests are their core. Need I remind everyone that President Obama’s legacy is already taking shape?
