the term “feminist” doesn’t enjoy the widespread acceptance in Russia as it does in the U.S. and other places

It’s fuckin’ *hilarious.*

Also, re: “all of a sudden, I can’t use it.”

“Now, all of a sudden, I can’t use it [the n-word]?” Ms. Smith said in a phone interview on Friday. “Sorry—I live in a black neighborhood. I came here and didn’t see color.”

An internet tough guy appears!

Unless this is some sort of long troll, this David Levitt guy seems to be autistic, which doesn’t undo his lack of sensitivity but might explain it.

Yeah, it’s a shitty thing to say, and it struck me as really tone deaf. Then I came across a tweet from someone who purported to be acquainted with David Leavitt saying he is autistic. There’s usually no excuse for such an awful comment, but maybe having impairments in communication and social interaction is actually…

Oooooh, Empire Of The Sun. Great call. That’s in the Top 5 for me.

I’d also slide Aliens, Empire Strikes Back, and Stand By Me (cuz I’m a big softie) ahead of Blue Velvet.

I’m not mad at your mentions, but I just gotta take the opportunity to say, “Taxi,” and slip away...

President Weiner? LOL. No.

Thanks! The takes I’ve been reading about this didn’t seem quite right, and I’ve been mulling it over since this story came out. Glad it makes sense to someone else!

PWR BTTM’s entire ethos was creating a safe space for the marginalized. I wasn’t a big fan of their music but respected it, so I went to one of their shows, and at that show (& every other date on their tour), they insisted on having gender neutral bathrooms and Ben & Liv spent much of their set addressing the…

I get it. Looked like it was too high off the bat.

Diverse, but not the most diverse.

Considering how Draymond’s ejection affected last year’s NBA Finals, I think refs are more averse to T him up. They don’t want to appear to be changing the outcome of games. That’s my read anyway.

“Don’t bring up this thing that makes my favorite coach look like a hypocrite!”

While playing a soccer game as a 7-year-old, a teammate saw me cracking my knuckles and told me that doing so causes cancer. It totally fucked me up until half time when I told my dad this new theory through worried tears. The old man told me not to listen to “bullshit from morons.”

Was just in LA over the weekend. I love it, but it’s a trash city full of garbage people. People drive, walk, live, and generally behave with zero regard for their own or anyone else’s lives. I was driving downtown, and with traffic whizzing by, one pedestrian after another was standing in the street & waiting for the…

I see where you’re coming from. I just expect athletes to celebrate, and I’m cool with it when they do. Back when I watched more football, I was initially irked by Sherman for essentially dancing on the 49ers’ graves & shit-talking Crabtree after the game, but after thinking about it for 5 minutes, I came to the…
