This is all well and good, but the best soup for a snow day is bourbon.

Yang has made clear that any reader who takes its title seriously—which plays off of W.E.B. Du Bois’s The Souls of Black Folk—is simply not in the know. ...Yang pressed that of course he wasn’t trying to be the “W.E.B. Du Bois for Asians of the 21st century.”

One less pit in the peach today. RIP

I agree that the issue once again is her dodgy use of the concept of “allegiance” and the idea that people who broadly support Israel are “pledging fealty” or whatever. I want to give her the benefit of the doubt there and just say she doesn’t realize the implication there but it registers pretty hard.

Ha, my actual mother asked my husband how he puts up with me. It took me a little longer to unfriend her on FB and in real life but I did eventually.

Thank you for this. I am going through it now, and I love it.

My heart broke for Glenn Close.

I genuinely appreciate the fact that you used hoi polloi correctly. #itsthesmallthings

I understand and agree with that.

If he wanted to raise his profile for contract renegotiations, he could have just run for president.

The media is 100 percent to blame here.

And yet, how much of this must we take on ourselves? I’m part North African by descent; and, believe me, for the longest time, any time there was an attack of some sort, the mantra would break out: Please let it not be Arab (or Muslim)*; please let it not be Arab or Muslim; please let it not be Arab or Muslim.

No knock warrants have been an abomination for years, the result of the relentless pop culture glorifying of police as infallible arbiters of pure justice based on gut feelings and no more. How is a suspect (lets abandon the word “perp” because it pre-supposes guilt and pre-validates the police’s own gut feeling;…

God yes. Sorry: tone of voice is everything sometimes, and of course it’s missing here.

It’s weird to have Black people suddenly believe every leaked detail from the cops and demand that someone be charged with a felony for false reporting. I don’t see anywhere near as…

Yes and no. I agree he (and others) could face jail time of they staged this.

It might be, but it’s hard to tell. Gabe writes about that whole credible-rape-allegation thing like it’s an old rumor that the guy prefers Pepsi over Coke. So maybe this is a different Ben Roethlisberger?

I was wondering the same thing. Also, when I was looking through stock images, Miranda Kerr was always standing on his right side, so I could never get a look at her ring. Obviously, you can expect a full 3,000 words on this conspiracy from me by Monday.

I’m so sick of people saying to cut sound just because they don’t understand it. Most people don’t understand that Post Sound and Post production as a whole employ more people of different genders and ethnicities and should be represented. Also they are the biggest Union of all the crafts.
