Do you see how this response is exactly what Gelman was talking about? Instead of looking inward to examine your own biases, you presume someone is “talking down” to you when he’s discussing his own experience and asking for a greater variety of voices to work with and watch.

Sure, but “these guys” aren’t islands. They have writing TEAMS for the things they produce, and the teams they hire come from the same place they do, because they hire their friends instead of trying to hire a new voice, be it a woman, POC or someone LGBT. Compare Sam Bee’s writing room with Stephen Colbert’s (sorry…

Start with Bill Maher who thinks that the reason that we lost the election is because liberals are too politically correct. Note that white straight men are never subjected to hate speech, so how the hell should he know about the shit that the rest of us go through?

The mayor of Portland has vowed the same, as has the mayor of San Jose. I’m sure there are more, but this is an awesome hot-take on the age old republican mantra of giving power back to the states and municipalities...ohhh so now you mean that was just a dog-whistle to be able to enact bigoted laws that you want…

New Yorkers: get yourself an IDNYC card! They get you awesome discounts at a ton of entertainment venues throughout the city, and that way anyone who tries to use it to snuff out vulnerable people will be buried in data! http://www1.nyc.gov/site/idnyc/index.page

I hope to see more politicians and leaders like de Blasio remain stringent when it comes to addressing Trump.

Seriously, him saying he would destroy the records before giving them to a deportation task force made me reel. we need more people talking like this.

New Rule: Empathy Is A Criminal Offence

I think Jason Momoa every third year or so, though

Apparently the song is a partial hoax. The Rock did perform the tune, but it was edited by trolls afterwards to make it appear that he was singing about Hillary. The lyrics are still wildly sexist though.

Ooo see I like being cocooned (not a weird sex thing...ok maybe a sex thing but it’s not weird I promise). Problem is I’m tall. Does this mean I have to start hanging out at the gym? Sad.

I’ve never been one for the Great Big Muscles look, but Dwayne Johnson gets a pass (and anything else he wants) and it’s because he’s just... he’s just so chill and lovely. It’s no act. Friends who’ve worked with him on set invariably describe him as friendly and cool. In the Punk’d episode where they tried to get him…

IDRIS ELBA HAS NEVER BEEN SEXIEST MAN ALIVE WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK?!?!

I mean he would be better than Trump. I have a feeling Trump won’t run in 2020, and instead they will have the Rock do it. Experience? Prior service? Not qualifications for President anymore it seems.
