I am befuddled by the heapings of praise. If the photo above is any indicator, she still hasn’t learned to make more than one facial expression.

Susan Sarandon isn’t without problems, but damn if I’m not here for this.

Just adding: I think the way the NYT piece focuses on feminism as a newly discovered and barely surmountable obstacle to a wedding ceremony annoying, not the couple. You can continue to tell me to die in a fire in the comments.

Cher: she is talking about going to See’s Candies, which is clearly her fave, because she knows a lady who’s been there 16 years. But a man who’s only been there 2.5 years is already the manager.

I do not have an academic background in art, though I do have one in literature and agree that “art” is a term to be reexamined and to which we should apply pressure. And certainly it’s important to engage with challenging, even uncomfortable material. I’m sure there will be conversations about this sculpture, and I…

Old, white, retired career Army officer here (infantry)...I do not see ANY partisan aspect to this photograph. It’s a non-problem, and it will fade away pretty quickly.

I can’t believe that we have invented YET another thing African Americans can’t do without being found threatening. Do not clench or raise your fist. That is proof of your partisan activity and you will be punished accordingly! What in the..??? Ironically, this is WHY we need SOCIAL activism like BLM, by the way BLM…

A question. Doesn’t the code talks about political PARTISAN activities? BLM is not a partisan political activity. It’s social activism but not partisan political activity.

The fact that you’re a former soldier and don’t see the difference between this and someone giving a nazi salute frightens the hell out of me.

You equating BLM with Nazism says all there is to know about you.

Yes. Mainly because that’s completely and obviously different.

He looks like his name should be Chad. I'm just going to call him Chad. Fuck you, Chad.

I related to this viscerally. My mother was angriest when she sensed that we (and especially I ) were happy, and then the rage would take over, eclipsing everything else. Our childhood was spent in fear: the toll of which is lifelong.

Someone here once typed quotes from their granddaughter or daughter who was maybe 5 or 6 tops, given as they watched a Republican convention and the kid’s take on Cruz was, “Stranger danger.”

Since I guess Cruz won’t be in the news anymore, this is my last chance to share this story.

You’re right, of course. Creepy Ted dropping out is more entertaining. But Gawker, like other national news outlets, continues to miss the sea change evident in American voters.
