We’ve spent a boatload, relatively speaking, on giving the people who can already afford yachts vastly more money, and very little else (except war). So “boatload” is correct, in a way, but not apt to what you’re describing.

They get it, it’s just that some are being obtuse for the sake of being obtuse, and others don’t want to talk about anything negative regarding gentrification because they benefit from it. It’s interesting seeing the responses here compared to the root, which is mostly black with a smattering of latinos. We understand…

“In the US, is it the case that only black and brown people are being hurt by gentrification? Are there no poor white people, and if there are, how are they immune to increased rents and house prices?” Not that you were making this argument, but this is a primary anti-liberal argument in America at the moment: that…

Damn can’t believe they’re violating her 1st Amendment rights like that.

White people, no one believes your bullshit except for you. No matter how many times you try to convince us that you aren’t racist, or you don’t vote for discriminatory practices/politicians...we don’t fucking believe you.

It’s been a while, but I sort of recall Syndrome being a “Nice Guy”.  I may be conflating him with the guy from Megamind though.

She didn’t “misspeak” - what said is in line with what she believes and her upbringing. Her blunder is putting it out for the internet to judge and cancel her career.

Nothing to do with the victim being a black woman. Fuck Dunham and double fuck all of you who stumped for her

What? Yeah, accusing established creators is a great way to get a leg up in show business. What are you even talking about?

“The vibe was very much like, ‘Do I want to f— it? Is it wearing a … yep, it’s wearing a tuxedo,” Dunham continued. “I’m going to go back to my cell phone.’” It was like we were forced to be together, and he literally was scrolling Instagram rather than have to look at a woman in a bow tie. I was like, ‘This…

Lena and Jenni sound like every neighbor of mine who wrote the judge letters supporting the neighborhood pedophile who molested my son. They sound just as clueless about the fact that predators don’t just groom their victims; they also groom their supporters.

“Believe women, unless they’re accusing one of my friends.” —Lena Dunham, basically

I’ll admit that in the age of Celebrities Being Shitty People I initially misinterpreted the headline as Drake threatening a guy who caught Drake groping a woman.

Calorie counts can be surprising. A chicken and avocado salad at Cheesecake Factory runs you 1,870 calories. Sure, the portion is huge, but you’d save 300-500 calories by opting for a pizza instead.

Hip Hip Hooray!
