The play is about a dinner party at the home of college professors. There wouldn’t be a lynching, just a lot of well-meaning, microagressive liberal conversation.

Great. Another golf war.

Hello everyone—As always I’ve been glad to read and consider the various thoughtful perspectives on this blog post, and on all of my previous ones. I’d also like to remind you that the comment section should host a productive and friendly dialogue. So please be thoughtful and considerate as you engage with one…

As a female producer, working with a female writer-director, trying to get funding for a film starring a 55 year old woman, I 100% agree with Kirsten’s comments.
If Hollywood truly wants to see more women make films, it needs to start financing them.

“Too much bullshit about ‘negative’ people in these articles.”

This piece is really, really great for spotlighting all the commenters who’ve never taken a college class, do not understand things like context or historical connotation, and who possess absolutely no critical thinking skills. Turns out there’s a whole lot of them.

Psychology Today is notoriously horrible. They also published this racist garbage that had nothing to do with science and everything to do with the writer’s own racist need to pin his inadequacy on other people.

I think the thing you mentioned in your other comment about Russian pride is pretty right on. I have to walk that line very carefully. First, it’s hard to be proud of Russia in general, with Putin and stuff like that, but it’s difficult for me to even identify as Russian and I try not to. I have a slight accent, so…

Glad you’re proud of yourself.

Everyone’s experience is individual. I don’t know about your wife, how long she’s lived here, where she’s lived, but I’ve faced pretty routine anti-Russian, anti-immigrant bs since I came here as a child. It’s not as direct as other kinds of discrimination for sure, it’s different. And yeah, I know I am not in the…

God, what a fucking shitty response. Thanks for the human compassion. Feelings are feelings. I feel like an outsider, there’s a supreme court case right now that could make it incredibly easy for the government to strip naturalized citizens like me of my citizenship. I’ve been told “you’ll be fine” way to often to…

Muslim is a religion, the others are not.

This story is my story too, and that facebook group has just been a lifeline for so many of us. It’s truly impossible, I think, for people outside of this group to understand us. I know it sounds like a bunch of white people complaining over nothing, and I don’t think any of us believe we are somehow more threatened…

Guys....

Trust in The Baconator. He was joking and Hannah’s piece missed the tone.

I hope that no matter how much money I accumulate in my life, I will still be chill enough to love free stuff!

Is he supposed to pretend that getting free stuff is not nice?

Please, everyone who thinks he’s acting like a sulky, entitled douchebag, just take two minutes and watch the damn clip (which, for some reason, links instead to Apple.com in the post)

Like George Clooney (whose birthday it happens to be today). I’ll never forget listening to long-time National Enquirer employees, reminiscing about how George inundated them with stories about himself, his motorcycle, his pig, etc., etc. Yet once he had reached a certain level of fame, he lead a campaign against…

I get it. But isn’t he mostly calling out other celebrities who are constantly whinging about never having a moment of privacy* without acknowledging how insanely fantastic their lives are?
