I’m really looking forward to the nuanced take on his passing and legacy that Deadspin will post tomorrow. Oh wait. Shit.

She sounds like the female CEO of my San Francisco company, who is a former McKinsey consultant. McKinzoids commodify everything, it’s what they do. She’s done the ROI of a nanny and determined that “soft skills” don’t have a cash value, but are inherent assets of this resource class. Crushing the numbers, 86k should…

That point has absolutely nothing to do with the makeup of the congressional districts those particular people come from. Women of color are probably the most important constituency of the Democratic coalition, and dismissing Sanders’ supporters as angry white men is bullshit when he has plenty of prominent supporters…

*Too many centrists blame him.

The British Royalty may have once ruled an “Empire on which the sun never sets” but it’s apparent that they have never tried to fuck with a black woman before. 

Written about Meghan hate here and Brexit before but just to co-sign the eminent Ms Hirsch. You occasionally meet brown and black people here seemingly oblivious to what is driving Brexit, but most of us know that what has been happening to Meghan is directly in keeping with the growing white nationalism that we are…

No I think the British public is pissed because they’re not gonna be able to read as much horrible shit about her in the tabloids. I’ve seen absolutely nothing that indicates she’s “an entitled little twit who wants to be rich and famous and a princess and not have to do anything or let anyone make her sad”.

For context, they were house hunting out in the Vancouver islands. There are lots of little island villages there that you need to take a ferry, boat or seaplane to get to. Some of them started as little hippie communes, or small fishing villages, and it’s pretty heavily wooded and very, very chill. Really nice…

Besides the overt racist tones of British society and media, there is something really basic going on here to the very nature of this royal family. Imagine you are grown ass people, married, with a kid, have your own money, career/veteran, and the important decisions in your life have to be cleared with your 93…

I think with this action he basically did that. Harry is a real one and his brother & father don’t have 1/10th of his balls.

This is Ann erasure!

Some have speculated they were all moving towards this anyway, but due to some kind of leak Harry and Meghan pulled the trigger early to get their own story out. So now the family is salty that they don’t get to control the narrative.

Finding out the uncle is a pedo rapist and the press / average Brit still hating Meghan more than him?

I do not blame them one bit. The vitriol spewed at her is vile and toxic — and absolutely racist in many cases. Getting out of the line of fire and away from a country that loves to openly and viciously hate some of its public figures is brilliant. I love that they are taking this step to dial down their royal profile…

She's 18. Most 18-year-olds are fed by their parents and the school cafeteria staff

A lot of people on the left have no love for Hillary either. There are supporters of the theory on both sides of the aisle, but the proponents on the left don’t really care for most of Epstein’s known associates, so a meme that implicates the Clintons, Trump, the Royal Family, etc., is just gravy.

Because I was sick and tired of all the anti-democratic fuckery going on in the US, I decided to volunteer as an election officer for the last federal election in Canada. It was illuminating. As a non-partisan, independent body, the principles that Elections Canada emphasize is accessibility (everyone who is eligible…

He’s a friendly, well-meaning guy who has an endless well of bleak history and frequently either collapses into hysterical rage or gets a haunted shattered mood while wearing a friendly smile.

As someone not from the US everything I hear about your voting system and the process is so utterly baffling on every level. I realise this is in part because history and in part because there are forces that actually don’t want you to vote if they can help it but still... WTF? I root for you guys to finally get your…

I think Jared is the best summation of the dark absurdity of the tech industry. He’s a friendly, well-meaning guy who has an endless well of bleak history and frequently either collapses into hysterical rage or gets a haunted shattered mood while wearing a friendly smile.
