I really hope this kid does well, has a good career, and doesn’t get screwed by grasping relatives and “friends.”

One comma to go.

I can’t have compassion for these kids as well? Dude.

lol, no offense to Jezebel writers, but I think you’re overhyping their celebrity status.

Jesus, he was booked with a DUI at 7 in the morning? That’s one hell of a fucking bender.

It sickens me to see such a solemn holiday cheapened to sell - oh

The happens to women in the workplace more than probably anybody realizes. I was once told in an evaluation that others “found my competence intimidating” and that I should try to appear less outwardly confident in my abilities. They told me to “soften” my opinions by phrasing everything in the form of a question.…

Ask more questions about their ideas before you start telling them what you have done/will do. No one likes a know-it-all. I say this as a former know-it-all. A great boss sat me down a long time ago and told me to dial down the “I” and “me” comments and “you should do this” unsolicited advice. I didn’t realize what a…

I think it does depend on the area, I grew up in a pretty conservative area and my (unverified) theory is that it originally comes from the same culture where traditional large weddings and proposals (no M) are very popular, and where kids are not allowed to do “regular” dating. Most of the kids at my school who had…

Oh wait, did Laguna Beach start the promproposal trend? That somehow makes it worse.

It’s this kind of diligence and research that makes Kinja so great.

Thank you for introducing me to this.

I usually save Veep for Monday night, right after Last Week Tonight. Sunday is for the heavy shows - right now, Leftovers and American Gods.

Actually, it looks about right. I did a quick google search. It would seem, even during Bob Barker’s tenure, they had something like 10-12 rows of people.

That background monitor area for Drew’s set might have eliminated a few people, but the general audience size seems relatively consistent. MAYBE a little smaller,…

This is what happens after years of spaying and neutering.

I also found that odd. Seemed very self centered imho. Not someone our youth should look up to.

Not sure why you brought up Harry and Nina only to agree that they, too, were not political leaders/pundits. The point is, there are black women out here, actually leading the charge, so Beyoncé and Janelle are NOT the closest thing we’ve got to a reverse-Tami Lahren, and no one’s trying to force them to be.

Charlemagne has been saying this forever and every he does a black woman is like hey I have a radio show/podcast/blog. Maybe you could promote me and I can be a voice. And then he yells at them for trying to get free advertising.
