None of this seems that unreasonable to me.

Yeah—this whole story seems like a pretty pointless invasion of someone’s privacy. If the notes that I left for our house-sitter/dog-sitter were ever featured on The View, they would probably seem ridiculous.

Just wondering why, if Nola is pansexual, all of the relationships being highlighted are so heteronormative. Also wondering if Ms. Nola is going to go outside the color lines.

There’s vomit on his sweater already, mom’s covfefe.

And it’s the calm-rage. Like... oh fuck it, I’m quoting a Redditor:

Dude has heart, that’s hard to deny. Give the man a bit of credit, he ain’t just there for the cultural appropriation, he’s sincere.

Well traditionally, freestyles, or in this case for the BET event, other rappers either stand in back or crowd around to hear each other’s freestyles and raps. Sometimes its for moral support or to simply hype up the rap vibe even more.

They are his friends watching him spit fire.

Much like The Beastie Boys his lyrics may have evolved as he’s matured. Just because he spouted misogynist bullshit at 20 doesn’t make him one currently. (I honestly don’t know anything about the current content of his lyrics.) Full disclosure: I’m from Detroit where he places just behind Bob Seger as our most low key…

I don’t like eminem that much, but damn this was well-done, full of authentic rage and truth, and carthartic AF to watch.

Can’t wait for trump/hannity to lose their shit.

What makes it cool is that he “free-styled” it off the top of his head. Its one of his talents that made him famous.

Never been a fan of Eminem, but this was good. The best part was when he drew a line in the sand for his fans who support trump. Because you know they are there, they were watching and there are a lot of them. I’m glad he told them to fuck off.

Damn Viola Davis’s response is perfect and powerful and about to make me cry. She’s truly a treasure. I don’t have the words to say how much I admire her consistently good commentary about the state of the world but I hope she knows how important her words are to so many people.

i assure as someone who works with rape survivors, this “money grab” happens far less often than people like you assume. and if these jag offs arent guilty, they should go through the court. they know they are so they settle. the DOJ puts false rape accusations at 2-8% so the fuck out of here with that bullshit.

Preferred not to imagine this. A sex worker alleges that the Vegas shooter enjoyed rape fantasies, “aggressive and violent sex.” [Daily Mail]

Oh, LB quit? Must’ve figured out it was not a good look. I think I read Mama Allred saying, “I would have declined.”

To The Root and Michael Harriot, I want to say thank you. You keep teaching me things I should already know. I keep coming back and learning. Thank you all.

These massacres don’t fit into the mass shooting category as you defined at the beginning of the article. These massacres had very definite targets. The “mass shootings” we’re talking about don’t have clearly defined targets and purposes.
