that's a phrasing for the ages though.

he must have a friend in Gawker Media management or something, because, yeah, as others have said, his posts have a consistent flowery verbosity meant to hide a vacancy of any sort of serious, developed social criticism or novel understanding to anything. They just don't say anything interesting, and don't express or…

that's such a loose basis for condemning something. I can see "we should to make a big deal out of this small behavior and get everyone talking and thinking about it to draw attention to this larger systemic problem which it is an example of." That is, I think, the only potential benefit of drawing attention to this…

hahaha!

yeah, whenever my parents brought home dunkin donuts to my family, boston creams would always be the first to go and the most contentiously competed for. Sometimes I was of the opinion that next time they should just get a dozen boston creams.

round of applause for understanding the importance of having social sciences data behind you, and bringing it up when asked.

"Successful heterosexual encounters are usually initiated by the women. "

he's got great ball-handling skills from all the solo practice sessions he does in his driveway.

well... i would do more with a time machine than that.

Look, maybe she's not saying that these women weren't capable of making quality movies. Maybe she was saying that funding influences output, and that the structural causes for inequality aren't always in the easiest place to find. It's easy to just point a finger and demand an institution change, but even the efforts…

Nah, a lot of NLRB's regulations pertain to ununionized employees having a functional environment within which to organize and discuss their concerns. That's where this ruling falls under.

or you could be a sanctimonious inexperienced teenager. Either one is possible given your attitude, but I'd put my bets on the latter.

are you serious? How old are you? they just left a party and she invites him to her apartment? I'm not saying that's some "promise" or "guarantee," but it sure as hell sends some signals which need to be clarified or at least addressed. In a particular context where people have been good friends for a while, it might…

never said south london was very white. Just said England has a lot of whites. The readership of Jezebel mostly isn't from Europe, they think london is white; but even if they didn't, they associate it with the "developed" / "first-world" / "global north" / "post-industrialized" (pick your term) England, to them,…

yeah, making this a story, and not doing the same for the many other homicides of children that occur across the world, makes it feel to me that the angle for getting views here is "oh no, a probably middle class girl from a very white country was killed by one of those vicious poor ethnics who care for nothing and no…

I'm mad because the money could be spent better, full stop. Don't pull this false dichotomy bullshit. That money could be spent on buying books for schools so young minority girls could grow up and have a career, rather than have available some video game they'll in all likelihood never see or play; even if a few do…

"So yes, kindly shut the fuck up :)"

"the last thing i want are tourists who fetishise me and want to play gay"

that was great.
