Almost like a woman with a book to sell and a guy with an album to promote are rehashing twenty-year-old gossip in order to get press attention. “Hey, remember when either of us were culturally relevant? Let’s go after those millennial nostalgia dollars and talk about that again.”

I think demanding that Hamas (or any allied or successor organization) being excluded from any form of government or future discussions pertaining to Gaza’s future is a reasonable and achievable demand. Requiring it’s “destruction” without a crystal-clear and achievable definition of what that means essentially gives…

“Puppy love” usually implies a childish infatuation, which is a weird thing to imply about an accomplished adult woman without some explanatory context.

“Ethnic cleansing” is just a euphemism for genocide. What you’re describing - “forced relocation and assimilation” “Getting the people you don’t like to go elsewhere and, over time, assume new cultural identities” is also genocide. Genocide doesn’t require wholesale murder, it requires the intent to eliminate an…

Going by the numbers I could find, given the birthrate there (~27/1000 people annually) and the population of Gaza (2.1 million) you get roughly 14,000 in at given time that qualify for the more expansive definition of “newborn” (i.e. less than three months old). Given that there were already 14,000 that fit that…

I think it’s less conspiracy and more delusion: framing a pre-planned anniversary post like it was a reaction to the previous EMTALA articles is a way to validate her previous civics-illiteracy, and to imply that her take has real import in the world.

“King, nor Dolly have publicly commented on the concert but the latter is a woman known for her tolerance, so, I’m sure she gets it.”

“A person who knows what they are talking about wouldn’t blandly call the Glaswegian burr “an English accent.” That’s the level of error here.”

What the joke writer does or does not do (or may already have done or decided to not do for all I know), whether it accords with my preferences or not, has no bearing on me moving on with my day.

Whether a cheap shot hits or not has no bearing on whether it was a cheap shot.

I think that, given that DeBose is a renowned singer, a joke saying she “thinks” she is a singer is another way of saying she sucks at what she does. It seems calculated to humiliate.

I don’t know why this feels like such an obvious joke, yet it still made me laugh. Kudos.

One is a private conversation, the other might not be confidential in any way in their circle. It might even be information the principals involved want known. So, no, not hypocritical.

Jezebel seems to have moved on from “TikTokers you’ve never heard of” to “Celebrities you’d forgotten about.” I assume they’re going for the same demographic of nostalgia-poisoned Boomers who buy those drugstore checkout aisle special edition magazines with Elvis or Marilyn Monroe on the cover. Ads for Depends and fash…

Understandable - Zoe pretty much disappeared after the first episode and showed up for the very end. Nakia had some great scenes though, especially in the mosque.

Zoe (from Ms Marvel) is gay in the comics, with a crush on Nakia, and this was at least hinted at in the end of the tv show (or, at least it was recognizable as such for someone who already knew it was part of that story). Don’t know if either character made it into the movie.

God damn, sir.

It’s a troll. Same commenter:

I might be misreading your intent here, but are you saying that presenting less than “the full picture of her career” is “whitewashing”? In what context is she supposed to do this?

So, you sewed some old pillowcases into the rough shape of a man, stuffed it with straw, and then absolutely BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF IT. Congratulations. The link you provided misrepresented Clooney’s work and presented that misrepresentation as if it were an argument against hypothetical people who think Clooney is a…
