There can and should always be more Laurie Metcalf. In for this!

So this is where we are- nostalgia for the early aughts. No judgement, It’s just one of those moments of funny realization. Time is passing and this puts it in perspective. I feel old. Blah.

I love that Michelle is free to do whatever she damn well pleases now that she’s FLOTUS in our hearts only. And the best pic is Blue Ivy’s:

Especially considering how they made the bulk of their money via foreclosures on people’s houses through shady means. Their “contributions” were basically screwing the shit out of people.

Honest to God, I feel like half the conflicts in this modern life could be resolved by coaching people on how to write a thesis statement.

I believe the “yes all white people” is referring to the systematic privilege that benefits all white people, and the violence that upholds it can thus be attributed—even indirectly—to all white people. In the same way that #notallmen is wrong, it’s wrong to claim #notallwhitepeople here. However, her initial wording…

I feel for her, because she is clearly not politically correct—which in this context is a compliment—but the downfall of telling the unvarnished truth is a lack of diplomacy. Diplomacy exists for the sole reason of getting disagreeable people to agree on things. Brand ambassadors are named that for a reason. And in…

Donald Trump “pledging” to donate $1m and Donald Trump actually donating $1m are two very different things. My guess is this donation, if it happens, will be funded through the foundation, to which he actually contributes nothing.

this freeze frame is freaking me out. look her dead in the eyes for 10 seconds and tell me you aren’t shook.

I’m in a similar boat. I’m a light-skinned, mixed Latina with a foreign first and last name. My siblings have more “American” first names, so they have it a bit easier, but people are constantly asking me why I don’t change my name, or give nicknames to people that are easier to pronounce. I don’t answer to nicknames,…

Wang = pretty Chinese woman

As an ABC (American-born Chinese), I 100% believe it that her name change improved her chances of being chosen for a role. There is still a disturbing amount of racism aimed at Asians in the US.

You missed the killer line:

Are you asking for rhetorical effect, or do you actually want an answer? Because I just typed your question into Google and got a lot of pretty useful answers. Basically, much of the insurance industry will live on. Some people move to other roles in health care administration. Some people change careers. It’s a…

Same here. I’m glad they’re using a mixed-media approach, because I couldn’t figure out how the podcast’s sprawling stories would translate to an episodic format. (And I’m looking forward to this because as much as I adore the podcast, he seems like he’s starting to run out of material.)

OR!!! OR!!! hackers can leave everyone alone so that they can enjoy their sexy photos as consenting adults should be able to.

Absolutely. You’re right. Doxxing is dangerous. I mean it literally when I say that this is not doxxing. This is a more effective version of milk cartons and wanted posters. This isn’t trying to root out the identity of someone who anonymously said some shit you didn’t like online. These pictures aren’t being posted…

It needs to be stressed that this wouldn’t have happened without crowd-sourcing his identity. The Cville police have made no effort to investigate these people. Every single arrest has come only because private citizens have identified these people and assembled evidence themselves.

So how long before he appears in court wearing glasses and a preppy haircut while his lawyers talks about childish mistakes, poor upbringing, and not wanting to ruin a young life, leading to a most likely White jury clearing him of charges?

Hear hear! She’s not wrong, but she’s not right, either.
