I really like Anna Kendrick, who is great as always in this, but Blake Lively acheived that rare acting feat of turning it up to 11 without ever overdoing it. She'll get a Golden globe nod if not a Supporting Oscar nod, if there's any justice. Not worth a win, but deserved alá Melissa McCarthy or (vomits in mouth)…

Off their radar and onto their to-do list.

My read had been that “safe space” was misused, and that it would be moderated by counselors that included people of color. The Dr listed IS white, so if it’s just him leading it, that’s not cool and also kind of dumb. I do think having a place for people who are trying to be less racist to go is a really good idea,…

That’s interesting, I think I remember that and wonder if they still go on. Yeah hopefully “safe space” has been coopted and misused here just out of ignorance. I’m a MD alum from over a decade ago and I still live in PG, and that campus is a problem in terms of how it doesn’t acknowledge it’s presence in a very black…

Thats what I pictured I guess. Some of my job has had me to refer out employees for trainings, including “Diversity Awareness”. A lot of them are last ditch things before you can legally fire someone and they fail, but I’ve definitely seen great outcomes statistically and anecdotally, where that person has actually…

“comradely solicitousness and hairtrigger whim," is an outstanding description of Charlie and damn good writing in general.

I....actually think this might not be terrible...I’m a recovering addict, and that informs my worldview a lot in the sense that I needed a safe space to be a fuck up for a while, but if this program is for people who know they hold fucked up views and want to get woke, is that bad? Isn’t white racism and white…

As a white kid who heard racist shit when people thought they were “amongst the right kind" I'll attest to this. Two Nigerian guys I used to work with were the worst.

The staggering amount of energy that would take for that long, coupled with the seizure and the text messages makes it sound like serious mental illness and/or intoxication. Not trying to minimize his culpability. The fact that he was granted bail at all is scary, and I’m surprised the hospital didn’t get a longer invo…

That wasn't helpful. This isn't something you can just casually bru.....*muffled screams*

I am totally weirding out that doobyone said toilet brush and stairmasternem said tooth brush, and both of them in strange, out of context ways. I can't not think about brushes now.

Pointing out racism only perpetuates more nonsense by racists. I really like to know who they are, so good on the root for pointing this out. She holds levers of power or is close with those who do. I hope more of them come out of the woodwork, just to troll. This isn't petty or small potatoes, so intelligent people…

This is the writing of a genuis and a madman. God bless you.

Bob Woodward’s style has always struck me as infuriatingly pedantic, but it really is the only way to deal with the just galling level of dishonesty we’re seeing. It was tough to read his books on Obama, and he holds court and opines on the Sunday shows in a way I find pompous and uninspiring. But his cautiousness,…

I get what you’re saying, but I’ve also seen enough of these controversies to know that racists like to troll. Look at the way the right wing usenet community gleefully started to use the word “niggardly” in questionable contexts once it became controversial after being misunterstood for a slur, or dogwhistle shit…

+1. Mmmm, that’s good Kinja.

Nah. Maybe a fine. Baseball loves a one-off wily cheat like that, for old guys to prattle on about in a documentary 20 years from now.

I take my smartphone to bed, because I hate myself, I was reading this last night and fell asleep halfway thru. I genuinely thought I'd dreamt this.

That’s some fucked up punctuation, Brent, didn’t your Papa teach you anything?

The thing is, a lot of guys/people use body spray because they’re afraid they stink, and then everyone shits all over them if it's perceived as cheap or thirsty or effeminate. It's done to women 100x worse obvs, but it's basically like, "buy your secret shame" is the marketing technique, "and you should be ashamed…
