I’ve lived with pretty severe bipolar disorder I since I was 14 (diagnosed only at age 28, but the symptoms set in far, far earlier than that). I know the pain of being so depressed you can’t get out of bed for days at a time, so much that even the thought of showering is too exhausting to accomplish. I know how it…

ok, so interest on 40 acres and a mule over 152 years...

Pearl clutching level: MAXIMUM

That quote is really all that needs to be said on Confederate, it pretty much sums up the issue that a lot of people have with it. I’ll be tuning in for Black America, though.

I’m pretty sure that the mere mention of reparations will send 20k white people into cardiac arrest.

“Slavery is far too real and far too painful, and we still see the manifestations of it today as a country for me to ever view that as a form of entertainment.”

Just goes to show that it’s all bs. Politics is nothing but interactive theater.

The biggest winner tonight: Steve Harvey

A for effort.

Spoiler alert: it’s not going to get better for them. It’s been downhill for them since the Reagan administration, but they keep voting for the folks that ship their jobs overseas, bankrupt their pensions, pull their social safety nets, etc. Asking for sympathy while shooting yourself in the foot really only…

I can’t even count how many comments I’ve read from guys saying that everyone talks about sex and that even women enjoy talking about it. It legit scares me that the concept of consent still flies over men’s heads. What Trump was describing was not consensual.

Settle down Pauly.

What a fantastic subject for an article (and, obviously, the article itself is great). I’m sure I remember seeing every single one of the submissions you featured - Things I’ve long forgotten but are instantly recognizable.

Playing the anthem early pretty much proves the uselessness of playing it at all, right?

“We don’t want Megan Rapinoe to cause a scene, so we’re going to cause a scene.”

You’re not clever.

I think they were expecting a good movie. No one would care about the violence, racism, or sexism if they were in service of a good movie. When they’re not, they stand out as being juvenile and shitty, just like the rest of the movie.

Not what they are saying at all. The critics say it is bad, not Jezebel.

Yup, exactly. Just cause you like the characters in some of their other incarnations doesn’t mean that they’re good in this. Otherwise I’d just get 5 community actors together, write a cocktail napkin script and be able to make an interesting film with those characters this weekend.

But you can have a violent, over-the-top action movie with a cast of sadistic characters where the narrative isn’t sexist (female characters are written as fully-rounded characters, the evilness isn’t predicated on sexist tropes), and where the plot is engaging and the jokes are funny? Nothing about “violent criminals…
