“after refusing to violate hospital policy”

Guys, he’s a kid. if he wants to be on ellen let him want it. jeez.

Jesus - when she sobs ‘why is he so angry’ is heartbreaking. His hands are actually on her and no one around her is able to stop him. She’s totally vulnerable, he’s unstable and everyone is helpless to prevent him from forcing her into his car. How absolutely terrifying.

I still find the thirst to be on Ellen grating.

Depends on if National Guardsmen know how to operate boats. More boats are good under people who know how to operate boats in shallow water. That isn’t a common training scenario for the army.

Partly—he might have been okay with making it a business decision, but offering to give proceeds to people displaced by a storm? That’s godless communism.

“This is fine.”

This is why I stopped reading. Well, that and the way their comment section functions is maddening.

Besides the fact that its an icky line, it makes no sense in the context of the song. What did someone make you do? The whole song is you talking about how you don’t like someone, where does the info come about what that dislike made you do?? Or is she thinking this is some sick burn diss track and is saying look what…

Im a dude and I read Jezebel because I miss Gawker and Slate is crap.

I initially didn’t blame her that the alt-right latched on to a white goddess. But now that I see Breitbart spent a day tweeting out their stories with her lyrics, she needs to drop her white privilege neutrality, like yesterday, and stand for decency.

Nazi Barbie is the perfect representative of the alt-Right: Forever proclaiming themselves the victim and constantly going in on the black man.

V true. Idk why it’s so difficult for folks to understand that this is about more than just piling on a pop star. Also she’s like the darling of the alt-right and has never really dispelled rumors that she voted for the Orange One, so I don’t think it would matter even if it was just a pile on

It’s not just Taylor’s people who have this issue.

This is what that bothers me about the whole Taylor/Kanye/Kim thing. And I get the vibe that to Taylor and her people the issue is simply that she got caught in a lie, not the fact that she got caught in a really insidious lie with painfully racist undertones.

To further your point, my friend: it’s not just that she lied. She lied about be a perfect white lady victim and got got.

I posted on their article about Swift today regarding Taylor’s strange habit of shitting on PoCs compared to her silence on the Far Right (many of whom adore her) to see what they’d say.

I’ve noticed the loss of WOC commenters on the Jez who have taken up residency here on the Root. WONDER WHY.

I can’t quit it. And I can’t quit putting those assholes in their places. But man, my favorite thing is reading about the same event in both places. It’s such a hilarious mind-fuck.

I still go on there quite a bit for the political stuff like The Slot but I agree there’s definitely way too much “White Feminism” on there. That thread during Charlottesville where a bunch of commentators randomly started chatting shit about The Root for being “Anti-White” was a fucking mess.
