Michael Che is just jealous that Simone Biles “matters” and he does not.

This comment breaks my heart, though. That she ever thought she was only worth her accomplishments means we’ve failed her and failed her badly. 

They say “Why was that brave?! How is that brave?” and somehow remain completely oblivious to the fact that it’s brave because she knew you and people like you would be talking shite, you petulant mushroom.  She knew that she would be heavily criticized for daring to take care of herself.

I have no idea what white people talk about when Black people are not around.

The ACTUAL difference, beyond your very subjective musical judgment, is that the other three make sure to be “appropriately” vague about their sexuality, unless they’re discussing heterosexual contact, in which case they are explicit. So vague, in fact, that there are still people out there today that will argue up…

Even a focused gymnast can end up crippled. Like, say, Elena Mukhina.

This. A lot of people seem to be forgetting how damned dangerous gymnastics is. It’s not like swimming, where you might lose a bit of time and mess up your turn if you can’t focus. An unfocused gymnast can end up crippled.

I read that she said she doesn’t trust herself as much as she used to and that really hit home. The events of the last 18 months has completely undermined my trust in myself and other people in ways I don’t totally understand but it is a mindfuck. And I’m not flying through the air and landing exceptionally difficult…

I square it by thinking about the kind of life threatening skills she has to perform. MJ or Serena won’t be catastrophically injured if they aren’t in the right headspace at all times. Simone is in that exact position - if she’s off by a fraction of an inch or a sec b/c hesitation, she’s either dead or paralyzed for…

Not sad — pathetic. He’s in the Woody Allen “you can’t even wink at a woman these days,” Club. He just doesn’t want to make the effort to learn how to treat women as equals in the workplace. He probably resents that he’s being ‘policed’ by the feminazis, so he’s going to make a statement by STILL treating women…

You know what’s a solid compliment? Something like “your hair is awesome!” or “those shoes are really cool!”, said from a respectful distance, and then going on about your day. This horseshit is none of that.

Reminds of the tv shows on Bojack “..and I’m some lady!”

But that’s the thing - that’s how it happens in real life.

The children’s mother reported Buchanan to child welfare officials

I went to a religious high school and nothing got me to read a book faster than knowing it was banned. Those books were the only culture I got in high school. The staggering stupidity of these people is mind boggling but hopefully it’ll inspire some sheltered kids to read something good.

True, but in all fairness, another human might eat your dead body, too, if they have no way of escaping, calling for help or accessing anything else to eat. It’s just basic survival.

Honestly, it’s a good move on Meghan and Harry’s part not to have Meghan be there (none of the spouses were there, apparently). If I’ve learned anything from reading a million Dear Prudence and Dear Abby columns, in-law problems are best dealt with by the direct relative, not the son-in-law or daughter-in-law. Harry…

The Apple App Store has 2.2 million apps, the Google Play Store has 2.8 million apps.

That’s a bit weird to me. Yeah, the first half was a pretty good character study and really beautiful, but I loved how the second half was just a constant stream of escalating madness. Cage should get an award just for the bathroom scene.

I would throw in The Autopsy of Jane Doe in there somewhere. Probably moving Jennifer’s Body because it wasn’t a good movie.
