I still don’t get why people are acting like Lauer’s firing comes as some sort of a shock. The only shock is that he was allowed to do this shit for as long as he did. The man is a true piece of shit in every way, and perhaps the hackiest non-Fox News anchor around.

But she is mixed....so I don’t get it. She’s black and white. She doesn’t have to dismiss either of her parents to make us happy.

Time should now name Obama person of the year, just to see if they can make Der Mango Führer have rage stroke, ending our collective nightmare.

How does one get to a place in life where you think the best course of action is to become a Nazi, call yourself Dionysos, and dress up like a goat? A GOAT. Like why not try the Rotary Club?

Godell has overseen the largest revenue growth of any US sports league ever. Since he was hired in 2006 the NFL went from making $6 billion s year to $14 billion. He also negotiated the worst collective bargaining agreement for players in US professional sports. Revenue may be down this year but it doesn’t erase the…

Oh look, a white person telling people of color that the racism they’re telling you they experience doesn’t exist...because you haven’t experienced it...as a white person.

Good luck on that since you aren’t even equating the value of Black feminist voices, the Root and other Black folks to that of your own. You’re calling us prejudiced because we don’t see the world as you see it.

She is that homely friend who you assume must have redeeming qualities but three years later you realize they are as ugly inside as outside.

Ban-hammer falling in 3… 2… 1…

I literally just wrote this in the Dirt Bag thread but I’ll say it again. Lena is a white feminist. Her goal is to be equal to white men. She only cares about feminist issues as they relate to her and people like her. She has no desire to understand intersectionality. I’ve always found it annoying that Lena is…

Counterpoint: Every time Lena Dunham fucks up feminism ALL feminists pay a price. She opens us up to mockery, scorn, and younger women that have been indoctrinated to believe a feminist is some sort of bra burning heathen communist are less likely to stop and listen.

Good. I wish EVERYONE who claims to be feminist or progressive would sever ties. I’ll never forget the Jia Tolentino piece on Jezebel which in my very humble opinion did not go far enough at all, and the scores of commenters who were willing to give Lena pass after motherfucking pass despite example after…

Seriously if Lena Dunham had been born with a dick, she’d be Eric Trump; there’s no feminism there at all, just a toxic blend of white privilege, overt racism, classism.

Who?

Yesterday at the library I had to have a long circular conversation with a patron who is convinced that A) he does not have to bathe and B) our staff is lying about him when we say he is simply too stinky to have in the building until he bathes and changes his clothes. He cannot be convinced that he stinks, because he…

I dunno, I think Roy Moore and Jeff Sessions are tapped into a hidden supply. There’s a lot of it.

Even though I was warned and I’ve always know Lena Dunham is putrid trash, I was actually surprised by how revolted I was when I read her statement.

I really feel like this should be titled:

Show biz makes my flesh crawl, and I’m glad I have a library card.
