He’s a great actor, for sure. But at what point was the decision made that it was totally unimportant for him to look or sound like Thurgood Marshall?

And I would have been really happy if she framed her conversation that way. Or said, “A once in a career female-led gem like the Color Purple should not mean you get a bye on having women at the fore for the rest of your narrative life.” Something like that wouldn’t have felt like she was discounting that picture,…

I think you missed the OP’s point.

I think it’s a crime story, a national tragedy, an example of environmental racism, and a major story. I too, worry about how Katrina— which has been taken on by much greater talents who still failed to really get it right— will fare in this series. I’m also hoping that the fact that it’s considered a vehicle of…

If the Kardashians didn’t want for Caitlyn to get pub off of this they wouldn’t talk abut it on the show. All the conversation on the damn show has made me wonder if I can check the stupid book out of the library. This is a brilliant marketing ploy for what I assumed were the boring musings of a completely clueless…

You two are clearly having two totally different conversations.

True story: the year he hosted the White House Correspondents Dinner I was at the Hilton for another meeting and rushing to get out before they locked down for Secret Service sweep. I bumrushed an elevator and threw myself between the doors as they were closing. Kimmel was on it with a bunch of his production folks…

It’s not that they don’t get a trained advocate. The juvenile system works differently and has its own stringent set of rules.

I work for the District of Columbia, for a city councilmember. We have a different and much stringent set of laws for juveniles.

Regina King can do no wrong— she is magnificent in this season’s American Crime story arc about trafficked workers. I love her. I’m glad someone is turning an eye to the story of the Atlanta child murders. As a Black kid in DC I remember consuming all of the news about these murders and being terrified. I was the…

Yes. He did. But did he do it to get back at Kris for marrying Bruce? Seriously?

No hate. Thank you for speaking your truth.

To me they’d clearly heard it before. Kourtney, who is the most reticent about sharing her emotions, who also probably experienced a lot of trauma very directly with Kim (she was the one who got the phone call with her little sister yelling, “HELP ME” remember?), was especially checked out and I thought that was…

I agree with you. It’s crazy the things that we as women mentally prepare for in relatively benign situations. When you’re actively being attacked— sometimes even with super aggressive verbal assaults — I think it’s natural for you to have that moment in your head where you think, “okay the part where I get raped is…

YES. I read that like, hey hey hey . . . what the actual fuck Bow Wow?!

That doggy! Such a cutie!

I was coming to say pretty much all of what you said, except the grease fire hadn’t occurred to me and now I’m like, YES to that, as well.

I like Affleck as Batman. The Batman of the Justice League is a grumpy, “Oh my GOD I GUESS I’LL DO IT!” and “You are total idiots” kind of guy. He’s old and mad. So . . . he held up pretty well for me.

“I am a top gang thug. I would like to meet about top gang thug things.”

Ollie said she wasn’t gonna chance federal support anymore and has gone to live in Rock Creek Park. Rusty, the red panda who escaped last year, gave her road map and told her to resist performing for passersby, which is what got him caught.
