We need to stop this “I’m entitled to my opinion” non-sense. All opinions are not of value nor should they be respected. I know absolutely nothing about nuclear physics. My opinion on the topic of nuclear physics makes about as much sense as a soup sandwich.

Credit to Van for responding, in the moment and in the face a huge celebrity and icon and not backing down and still delivering some really real shit to Kanye’s face.

Conservatives in October 2016: It’s just locker room talk!
Conservatives in April 2018: This lady comedian is so vulgar!

she’s actually been fairly outspoken against trump, so i do believe it.

I don’t watch any of the Kardashian shows (I don’t live in the US) or follow her or her family on any social media, so my knowledge of Kim is pretty random, mainly from when she’s mentioned in something I read. I don’t know if that necessarily gives me a different view of her, but here are things I know about Kim…

How does one go from “Bush doesn’t care about black people” to supporting the most overtly racist president in US history?

That is literally the same look I give the men in my life when they sexist, insensitive or dumb things.

I have a love/hate relationship with this book (loved: all of the food. Goh Peik Lin. Astrid, for the most part. All of the Methodist in-jokes. Kitty Pong, forever and ever. Hated: the 10 pounds I gained after reading this book, how everything could have been resolved if people Just Talked To Each Other, and also it…

I imagine she has something like this inside her front door, but fancier

Because that’s what we should take from this 🙄

Yes, calling a stalker a ‘suitor’ isn’t cute and glib, it’s disgusting.

Look, I know we all aren’t supposed to like Taylor Swift or whatever, but making jokes about men doing incredibly creepy things to terrorize her seems a little...much?

They’re like having a neighbor you’re friendly with who has a pool: we can occasionally jump into the pool and have fun, but we’re not the ones who are paying for its upkeep.

...it’s also his job. No one is forcing this dude to make music.

Well I had a baby ten minutes before Monday was over. The placenta decided to rip itself away from my uterus in some sort of attempt to kill us both. That was the least fun I’ve ever had, but fortunately my intuition brought me to the hospital an hour earlier.

Cultural appropriation is neutral anyway. Whether it’s good or bad or in between depends on the details. Using the term by itself is useless when discussing harmful behavior. It’s more efficient and clearer to just go into those said details and not use the term at all actually.

The white people I know who use the brown emoji hands are always, like, blond yoga/dance instructor who is definitely not invited to the cookout. And they always make a huge point of only using the brown hands.

I am 100% rooting for this MIT prof.....aside from Brad Pitt maybe not being a great partner, but in theory, work with me. Amal picking up a trophy husband gives me life and I love the vicarious gender balancing of having visible, famous couples where the woman is primarily known as an intellectual powerhouse and the…

Oh FFS. Seriously? I’m on here and actively participating/reading/commenting like a quarter as much as I used to be, and even *I* know and like CCCFB and recognizer her as One Of The Good Ones. BRING HER BACK, PLEASE.

So chocolatechipcookiesforbreakfast was banned today. I wanted to start a thread because while I sincerely can’t imagine how difficult it is for the editors/mods to manage the influx of actual trolls around Jez, I also really wish there was some kind of system that allowed longtime community members to be given a…
