OKAY BUT the real crime of that Sports Illustrated interview was when he was describing everyone else at that table. He referred to Idris Elba as “the black guy from The Wire” and Henry Golding as “an Asian gentleman.”

Good on her! Excited to see the spillover from Deadspin on this one...

Now that I have a 7 year old it's become clear to me kids drive the pop music market. If you can't grab the kids, you can't hit #1. Despacito was a huge hit with the kids. Kids sadly don't write many think pieces about why they still like the catchy song more than a new song.

Robin Thicke hit his other child that he had with his first wife.

No one - not Taylor Swift, or any other rich, white, conventionally attracted white woman - is entitled to a number one spot. “Blocking” and “kept out” are both phrases that implicitly give ownership or the rights of a place to someone - and Taylor Swift does not “own” the number one spot.  

It does seem pretty racist. framing not as him having won - but keeping a white lady from her “rightful” spot.

Anybody who hates Dolly Parton that much should probably just keep that to themselves.

I dunno, maybe it’s because I live in San Francisco but $3 Million in renovations doesn’t sound like that much.

When I watch The Crown I think what a drag it must be to have the responsibility of being a queen but not the power to invade Iceland or order anyone beheaded.

To be honest we basically have the best of both worlds in that those who have power are elected while the Monarch is entirely ceremonial with no real power outside their presence.

Eh, the British are free to abolish the monarchy and adopt a constitutional republic form of government whenever they want. They don’t seem to be in a rush to do that, whatever the complaints about the royals.

When I was 18 years old and a college freshman, I was grabbed from behind, dragged into the bushes and raped when I was walking home from my part-time job. I was young and stupid to begin with, but I knew that I needed to report it. I walked back to the hospital where I was working and spoke to security and they…

NBC News points out that beer company Natural Light has twice offered to give away $1 million to 25 people (or $40,000 each) who make the best video “proving they bought the beer and discussing their college experience.”

I... think it’s pretty clearly shade at them not having really stated much of a platform.  Yang is running on universal income, without much in the way of an actual plan to get there, and that’s about it.  Everyone has beaten to death the fact that Buttegieg seems to be about the most generic white male DNC Democrat,…

there’s not enough money in the world for me to give up my seat to cam newton, after he chuckled at the absurdity of a woman asking an astute football question whilst calling her a female.

HoooBoy, they were awesome against teams in the group stage, and their stiffest competition in Sweden didn’t even field their best roster. But man, today, Spain was super physical and obviously targeted a slowed down Alex Morgan. Which I do not get. Why was she on the pitch for nearly the entire match?

Oh Gabbo, you'll say anything.

I feel really bad for Gillibrand. She’s been in the Senate for awhile and has been a pretty good Senator. In a normal race, she’d be seen as a contender. Instead she’s in the backhalf of 25 candidates as all the attention primarily went to some guy who lost a Senatorial race in Texas and a 37 year old Mayor who’s…

OK, let me guess.
