these are special.

I know you mean well, and I don’t want to be a prickly jerk (and I am sensitive about this), but this really bothers me:

YES YES YES YES YES YES. the comments are horrible. Being queer doesn’t have to look like anything, and queer folks are under no obligation to prove themselves to anyone. 

and here we have it!

I’m sorry, but no one has to perform queerness or gayness for you to prove it, and shame on you for this nonsense.

(Does anyone else get nervous popping open the Pillsbury tubes? Just me? Cool.)

15 months and a charge of involuntary manslaughter is madness for this.

Seeing as how there is no group more privileged in the criminal justice system than white women, her attorneys probably figure there’s a fair chance the current SCOTUS will try to protect that privilege.

I feel like DC wasn’t Janelle’s best, but it was her most commercially viable. Like it was the first album I felt that actually had catchy songs. 

Ugh, I feel sorry for Kacey Musgraves. I knew she would get dragged for winning, but her album is great. Of the best album noms I listened to, I would’ve picked her album or the Black Panther soundtrack as the winner.

It’s mentioned in the article, but party affiliation actually has a stronger correlation to blackface opposition than race. As a group, democrats are more strongly opposed to blackface than black people are as a group. The 19% of white people who think it’s acceptable are nearly entirely republican and independent.

This spawned two pretty entertaining SRD threads and now has actual articles written on it? Wow. The popcorn gods have blessed us.

It’s not even a good Hot Take. Maybe Insane Take?

I did! ...But really because I enjoy stupid disaster movies.

My face when I try to understand why Frida Garza chooses to write the worst takes on the internet (see also: eggnog is mayonnaise)

Your argument begins with insisting that The Day After Tomorrow is *good*.

HOT TAKE COMING THROUGH!

Everyone knows this post exists, but what I presuppose is: maybe it shouldn't.

Not to mention the potential this had to empower all the Bethany Byrd’s out there.

Allow me to respond in my Billy Eichner voice but OF COURSE DAVID FOSTER WALLACE FUCKING DID IT BETTER
