There’s nothing to be conflicted about:  You sense the pretextual because that’s what this is...

Weird flex: Pretending to care about someone else’s mental health while disparaging people who are offering additional mental health resources. I know this is just an agent being an agent, but I can’t pretend that Rich Paul is more invested in Ben Simmons’ mental health than the 76ers are while he’s supporting his…

This is so rich it passed “wealthy” and went all the way to “affluent.”

Let’s be real: Dave Chappelle has had opportunities that very few people on Earth will ever experience. He’s had plenty of opportunities for actual dialogue. He’s had plenty of opportunities to understand where people who aren’t bigoted against…

You’re like The Fly Malcolm X, minus the “buy any jeans necessary” piece. Diminished by your departure, but your presence was a present! Forward!

I was involved in a mild scandal in high school because I made out with someone in her car while both of us were wearing jackets with our names on the back... I’ve made out in my share of cars since then; it’s the last jacket I’ve owned with my name on it.

On the one hand, this is dumb. On the other hand, it’s the piece I read right after the Chrissy Teigen/Hunger Games party thing. So... it’s smart?

Expected to do so and also critiqued for doing so. And also critiqued for breaking a patter of black, blue, navy blue, and gray, but flamboyantly wearing... tan!

America!

So, they threw a party (themed), invited their friends, and their friends who came acknowledged the theme by dressing in appropriate costumes and participating in thematically-appropriate games. And the hook you went for was “Chrissy Teigen sucks because she tricked her friends, who are wealthy, into wearing the costum…

“Is mac and cheese a traditional Thanksgiving side?”

You’re suspended indefinitely, and believe me, detective, I’m doing this for your own good. Hand over your badge and your sidearm...

Or to put this another way:  HELL YEAH, mac and cheese is a traditional Thanksgiving side! My Aunt Lou makes the best mac and cheese on…

‘Listen, I would love to, but the way that you present yourself is not something I want to be associated with.’

This is an indicative summation of her intellect and her commitment to mentorship: She only provides guidance to people with whom she already wants to be associated. She’s the tutor that only accepts A…

Two words: Cassian Andor.

The only “problem” that exists based upon whether or not the audience knows the outcome is that it puts all the pressure on the writers and the actors. If it’s well-written and well-acted, you could make a successful series out of the droid that got repaired when it blew up while Luke was…

I can’t help but wonder if she spilled this tea into a saucer the first time she embarrassed herself with this story, so that she could save it for later, reheat it, and spill it again...

He is part of a master race:  Mixed.

I feel what you’re saying, but here’s the thing:

There are careers - accessible through a variety of levels and types of education - that would allow your child to earn a future of wealth and comfort. And there are careers - largely inaccessible to most - that would largely guarantee [someone’s child] a future of…

It’s not the 70s, and Khalid S. Mohammed is still getting fat on taxpayer-provided halal meats in Cuba. Other than that, your story checks out.

Act wack, get smacked.

I’ve experienced one hate crime in my life. It happened in Portland. Not the middle of nowhere. Not “too far to Lyft.” Not 25 miles away. IN Portland.

Former racist enclave stayed racist! I got randomly attacked and called the N-word in Portland by a guy wearing a throwback jersey of an African-American NBA player... The cognitive dissonance hurt more than anything.

I can’t help but laugh at this:

“I was none to impressed with AOC being at this event hosted by a “colonial broad”, but whatever. She attracted a lot of attention to an issue that needs it.”

She went to a fancy party. She wore a fancy party dress with a message that “attracted a lot of attention to an issue that needs it…

You’ve probably never been anywhere near experiencing that situation and so you can’t honestly say how you would/wouldn’t react. You have literally no idea. You’re the childless person swearing they’d go for an “all-natural” childbirth if given the chance. Maybe you’re right...
