The Speed Racer movie doesn’t get the credit it deserves. It’s campy as hell, but actually quite entertaining and fun. 

I think this is a really important discussion. If you start your political career as the County Zoning Officer, then you need to approve or reject some building permit applications. It is the job. If you begin your career as a DA, then you need to prosecute some criminals. So, I don’t think that being law-and-order DA…

I have to admit, I was unfamiliar with the music of most of the nominees, and some I never heard of (I’m of “a certain age” and mostly listen to old school and jazz on Sirrus XM *shrugs*), but I enjoyed the bits and pieces of the Grammy’s that I managed to watch. Diana is still The Boss. Dolly Parton looked and…

It’s also reminiscent of the Aziz Ansari debacle. A guy thinking that pushing a woman’s head into his crotch is acceptable, and a woman NOT wanting it. To him and his supporters it’s a “bad date” or “misunderstanding”. To her, it’s a dude forcing oral sex.

Journalism 101: nothing goes to print until you have 2 independent sources confirming it. If 1 person says something happened in a hotel room and the only other person who could verify it says it didn’t happen then you can’t print it.

Yeah this, I just used some canned chopped tomato in my pasta today and they definitely break down and mush if you cook them. It was Hunts Diced Garlic for the curious. 

“Stop buying canned, chopped tomatoes.” “I don’t like this product, so you should stop using it.”
No. Also, no.
They’re extremely convenient and I make great spaghetti sauce with them. I DO WHAT I WANT!

You’ve never even been to Germany. Shut up.

I... sort of don’t get why this was offensive? Because he said fried chicken? What was the racist implication, that the CIA was gathering information on African Americans? I thought it was more non-sensical than racist.

Yes we do. It’s called White Feminism and it’s talked about all the time. One of the reasons I read The Root is because I was raised by an ardent 2nd waver who is such a White Feminist and I’m breaking down my conditioning.

Cadillac’s Situation Continues To Escalade

They did a cover and Tonja wanted to use whitewash in a new way.

And clickbait pays the rent, so a barebones post struggling to tie into cultural appropriation had to be written ipso facto

so what was this about? I’m lost. They did a cover and..?

I’m not advocating anything. I’m telling you what’s happening. Next year’s coffee crop is predicted to be all time record at over 7 million metric tons. That’s nearly 1kg of dried beans per person on the planet.

He can have Mypillow. I’m embarrassed that shit comes out of Minnesota.

Latin Americans can be white. They don’t have to be labeled as “white-passing” or “light-skinned.” Not all of us are mestizos. Some are actually just plain white.

oh fuck off, she apologized and is pulling the song, what more do you want? At the time people thought R Kelly was another succesful black man getting unfairly persecuted by white men like Michael Jackson was.

Also some other people have floated the theory that she never wanted to work with him in the first place and…

Yeah, but that is partly why its important. A bunch of young white people (any maybe others) will now google “what was andy samberg talking about” and get educated. 

yet another display of “Yay Progressive Whites!” with the subsequent back-patting for calling out an obviously grotesque moment in American history on national television, yet doing nothing else about its historical effects on the community today.
