Bobby!

It might help if news sites like Gawker and Jezebel stopped covering the lives and mundane tweets of these very pretty, occasionally talented people 24/7.

I manage social media for a large, verified account (not a celeb) and I've definitely been struck by the level of entitlement in the #followback culture of users. It sort of blows my mind that they think an account with over 1.5 million followers will really benefit from their 500. We get a lot of requests for things…

No need to apologize, you speak the truth.

who deals in tropes that are recognizable to the New York white twentysomething woman with a Master's

Taystee AND Jessica Williams? MY FAVORITES. You're spoiling me.

I will be really shocked if the characters they play have any complexity (and screen time for that matter).

"If [women] want to look good, then they don't have to be in the ring."

OT:

After I read that New Yorker article you mentioned, I was pretty horrified by the rampant disregard for facts on the part of people whom I had considered to be fighting the good fight. The exaggerated claims only made it easier in the end for rape apologists to downplay what actually happened: "SEE, THEY ONLY FINGERED…

What they mean is that "You destroyed our image of Steubenville as a community of virtuous, lovely people who wouldn't go around raping young girls." Well, your community did that on its own. So go fade away now.

"Yes, those two boys crossed the line,” said one parent closely connected to the case.

People in Steubenville understand why the image Saltsman captured — those thick, careless hands wrapped around the incapacitated victim's dangling arms and wrists — will stick long after case particulars fade. But they still insist that Saltsman is the “kindest boy you’ll ever meet,”

Adults in Steubenville are sick of thinking about how she feels. Some locals who are now nationally recognizable thanks to the case said they couldn’t wait to talk as soon as the Grand Jury completed its investigation. “Oh, my land, are things going to roll off tongues,” one said with a wink. "We’re angry, and we want…

"Adults in Steubenville are sick of thinking about how she feels."

Destroyed? I'm sorry, did roving bands of angry feminists come through and burn Steubenville to the ground, salting the earth on the way out? Nope! Two boys were put on trial, convicted, and sentenced. Adults were told to take responsibility for their role in what happened. As for Christmas day death threats, that is…

Yes, think she's just woken up to what it feels like when the boot goes into you instead of someone else because of their age, gender, race, religion, body shape or somesuch other prejudice. Maybe she needs to up her empathy game ...

The best submission to the FCC regarding Miley Cyrus' VMA performance: "She is shown what she is acting like a devil flicking that tongue as deamons [sic] do."

Their outrage is a little late. An Arab-American Muslim DID win Miss America... in 2010. Her name's Rima Fakih. She's pretty and she has some kind of stripping scandal associated with her. USA! USA!

To all the utopian techies who unambiguously claim social media is a good thing: not always. Twitter brings the racists together.
