No it’s not. They got the Champions League final without him and have won the league constantly with him. It’s a crazy price tag, especially for someone who gets off to slow starts with new clubs.

Lonergan also seems to have a strange fixation with George Washington athletic director Patrick Nero.

What constitutes a “mass shooting”?

I’m sorry, I have to say something. I’m a Bernie supporter, and a longtime Jezebel reader, AND I was there in the room. I shot some videos that have been aired on major networks, and I actually have a relatively neutral perspective. Could you please interview me for an alternate view of what happened, instead of just…

this is the 3rd iteration of “smart” mirror that gawker has posted this year alone. in the last year or so.

That is without doubt the ugliest bag I’ve ever seen in my life. Needlessly heavy too. Why does he need 3 apple products to edit video. Leave 2 at home or better yet, leave the 3 of them at home. A 2tb external drive on top of the 3 hard drives already and the usb keys you don’t need and the memory on the camera. A…

If you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas.

People are fucking weird. This was HILARIOUS. And all the more so by how many complete cringe worthy moments there were, of all these media people being entirely unable to laugh at them selves. Did you guys see Blitzer’s face?? If eyes could kill, Larry would be dead. Dead, I tell ya.

Nah, man. No question Leicester is the best team.

Counterpoint:

Right? So telling that the top thread is a white woman talking about how it’s totally not for her, but here are her thoughts anyway. I think it’s okay to be moved by it. It’s moving. It’s also okay to be moved privately, without performance.

My sister is white and her daughter is adopted and Black, and I see her sometimes struggling because there are times when there are no words for her feelings, because as a parent she feels such deep pain for the hate directed at her child and the road she is going to face as a Black woman in America, but she can never…

>>My opinion should not matter to Beyonce or the other women in the video, and when they’re talking, I will gladly give them the space in which to do that,<<

Right on siesta! You didn’t need to be white to feel that power. Shoot I was adopted by a middle age white woman who insisted I read Toni Morrison, and Alice Walker. I am truly proud that you appreciated it! Plus, that love song encompassed all types of couples. I cried from start to finish. It brought my soul to…

It’s a hard line to walk. Honestly, (this is me as a white person) I don’t think Beyoncé made Lemonade for only black women to talk about. Was it for black women? Hell yes. But she released it to everybody and I think she meant everyone to hear it. I’m most interested in what black women have to say about it.

Totally. I just wish the conversation could be more open and positive and not so overly pedantic. We don’t need to all fight with each other, we’re on the same side!

I actually have been made to think I needed to make that disclaimer because other people say things like “white girls, this isn’t for you”. Which, in turn, makes me feel like I need to say “I know this isn’t for me, but I like it.” Does that make sense?

We don’t need your “AS A WHITE PERSON, I LOVE THIS” bullshit. You love it because you are a person, because you connected with the work on a emotional level, because you found you relevant to your personal experience, not because of your fetishization of black female beauty.

The “disclaimers” do not annihilate the fetishism. She stands from the outside screaming: “Society does not but I approve! I approve!” We do not seek her approval; we do not want her approval.

Your chief mistake was thinking black women need or even want your approval. I understand that you were trying to express how much you connected with the work but your diction reveals only a fetishistic appreciation.
