Like most things, disco was great before the normals got a hold of it.

This week in “people being afraid of a tiny minority group, while ignoring the huge threat to themselves they pose”.

It’s really surprising how touchy liberals are about being called out on their shit. Are they exhausted by the effort of being a decent human being or something?

I think that’s the mistake. Saying Bey is a mere human. Which, physically sure. But she’s been famous long enough to know that she’s is a brand. And an aspiration for millions of people.

Oh, okay. Well, she’s a public persona. She’s not your friend or a co-worker, people who’s relative lack of visibility grants them the privilege to appear “human” enough for your standards.

In an environment where a bunch of white people rage-shit themselves nearly every time a black public figure says anything about the black experience, can you blame her for carefully worded responses?

I think this election is going to show a lot of people that their party isn’t for them. On both sides.

I think what happens with some white people is that they’re just not used to being excluded due to their race. In nearly every other situation, being white either doesn’t matter or is something that benefits them.

I’m really just mad that Aaron Carter is apparently still a thing.

He makes up for his somewhat tragic life by attracting women two decades his junior, tanned beach babes whose wardrobes consist primarily of bikinis and who inexplicably flock to him despite his unmooring, and despite the fact that he is predisposed to treating them like shit.

Agreed.

It’s definitely where my out of town friends want to go when they initially visit. Mostly cuz Powell’s. But it’s really the overpriced outdoor mall of Portland, but for like... old people with bad taste.

Most people who live here do, I think. I wouldn’t bother with it if I didn’t work there. Luckily, I live in Ladd’s Addition, which is awesome!

Creepy. I work in the building across the street from Anthropologie. You can actually see it in that picture.

I personally hate the store, but I hate most of what’s in The Pearl. It’s pretty much what sucks the most about Portland. That and The Decemberists.

I don’t get.

A failure to tell the difference between fact and opinion is not the fault of the critic. We shouldn’t adjust our behaviors to the intellectual shortcomings of certain members of the public.

Well, it certainly got you to click.

I don’t know many people who allege a lifelong commitment progressive values who’d praise any Reagan for their efforts, even accidentally. I was raised by some fairly moderate liberals and even they have old “Silence = Death” t-shirts. I do think the criticism of her gets pretty ugly and is imbalanced on the whole,…

Yup. It’s such a transparent shifting of blame. Like, can you not be responsible for any of your own shit?

Say what you want about Ms. Banks’ problematic behavior, the talent in the woman’s shadow obliterates Igloo Australia.
