Nah, fuck her. If Adele, Prince William and the Queen did it, so can the PM.

On a personal level this is absolutely heartbreaking, but my overwhelming feeling is anger about this. The failings in this building by Kensington and Chelsea Council are an absolute discrace, blocks of flats don’t go up like that - fires are usually contained to one apartment or at worst one or two floors. This…

Theresa May:

I think it’s a great thing that The Color Purple is more closely associated with the black actors than the white director.

I’ve seen The Color Purple multiple times and even I forgot Steven Spielberg directed that one. It’s so closely associated with Whoopi Goldberg and Oprah Winfrey and blackness in general that the white director kinda gets forgotten, at least in the circles I’m in.

Cosby apologists started by claiming the fact that only a few women had come forward proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that he’s innocent, because if he’d really been raping women for years there would be many more victims. When the victims started piling up, they immediately switched to claiming that the existence of…

The only people allowed to use the phrase ”spill the tea” are drag queens and people who work at Teavana.

This is public housing isn’t it?

I live about 1.5 miles away from the tower, and could see the smoke from my street this morning. So scary, I can’t stop thinking about how terrified these poor people must have been. Some witnesses were being interviewed on the BBC this morning and they said it initially looked like the fire might be controllable, but…

The construction company that carried out the renovation said in their statement that the building “met all required building control, fire regulation and health and safety standards.”

Seriously? Read the court transcripts. This guy is a predator and a sociopath. Don’t defend him. It makes you look terrible.

Fucking gross. I ALWAYS think I know how horrible human beings are, and I am always wrong. This is coming from someone who has excavated mass graves.

Okay but can we also talk about him getting a mandatory sentence of 19 years for stealing a cell phone? Like in what world is that a proportional punishment?

FWIW, the Kaepernick story is actually really interesting (and depressing). He’s got the 17th highest selling jersey in the league, and his stats for last season were solid, but teams are actively refusing to hire him. No one’s saying exactly why, but c’mon: it’s because he took a political stance last year and is…

I love, love, love Kacey Musgraves.

all I could think of was Richard Harrow from Boardwalk Empire when watching Wonder Woman. Update: someone already posted my bad. Smithsonian Mag as a great article about the masks if anyone wants to read up on them more and see pictures.

Thank you, that was really interesting.
