Right?! I mean, we’re so conditioned to all of this - especially in film - that even though I was keenly aware of what I was watching and who made this piece of art, my reaction when the cop car pulled up as he was choking “the pretty white girl” on the ground was “oh fuck - now he’s going to spend the rest of his…

Just FYI, Armitage was the name of the protagonist in The Dunwich Horror, by the notoriously racist HP Lovecraft, in which the family scion turns into a monster and terrorizes the village. It’s one of the only Lovecraft stories in which the hero actually defeats the monster.
Apropos of nothing, didn’t Allison Williams do a great job as a total monster? As poor old Chris was throttling Rose at the end (I’m being serious here - watch the film and you’ll see why), I was willing him to make sure she was DEAD, because she was such a terrifyingly ruthless, relentless fiend.
Anne, I have to say that usually I love the depth and analysis of your writing, but this piece was just...there was something more personal to it for me that really resonated.
Thank you for this article. Melania Trump is another good example. People like to pretend she is a victim and has no say in being married to Twitter fingers. If she was a Black woman they would just call her a golddigger. Lena Dunham, Amy Schumer, and every garbage White woman is given chance after chance to mess up…
There are a lot of really disappointing comments on here today. Look, I’ve been a teacher for over a decade. I am a woman. I teach middle school, and have taught high school in the past. It is fundamentally wrong for a teacher to have sex with a student, no matter the teacher or student’s ages. Teachers are…
Believe it or not, she is a prodigy and had a good job working as an editor and writer at 17 when she started at Rookie, so I guess we should ALL die.
I’ve seen “Fire in the Sky.” Case closed.
I did not realize he had achieved the EGOT.
Are we really still doing that “ANTM produces no top models” thing that is only said by people who don’t actually know anything about modeling? Sorry, that was probably super-bitchy, but do you really not know how well Leila Goldkuhl has done for herself? Fatima, Duckie, Ebonee?
The ANTM season with Rita Ora was the first one I’ve watched from first episode to last in years and I’m truly sad Tyra is taking it back. I appreciated that she was influential in the show, but not the host. I didn’t know who Ora was before the season, and now I like her a lot.
I did too, and that email was promptly sent to my trash and my email was unsubscribed. Coat tail riding do nothings.
Watch the other videos on his page.
Tucker Max is gross and horrible but I’m not going to fault Tiffany Haddish for working with someone who has sold books to get her memoir published. The publishing industry is not known for publishing or promoting works by writers of color, it is way way more difficult for a person of color to get their work published…
But...why is is something to laugh at if it fails? Why does everyone want it to fail? I have no interest in it and would never use it, but the glee that it might not be successful is something I can’t imagine over iTunes or a similar service. There’s clearly something more behind it than just disinterest.
In addition to being racist and all-around offensive as fuck, this is a stupid and useless idea. Boomers are retiring now. We need people in our work force now. Getting pregnant right this very second will do exactly jack shit to help this problem - if we don’t fix it with immigrant labor in the meantime, we’ll be so…
Thank you for writing this!
