IDK, this all seems like we’re making fun of someone for having a lower-wage or “less glamorous” job, which makes me uncomfortable. Like, he’s obviously a really easy target, and is only getting the attention because he used to have much easier and more lucrative sources of income, but imagine you were a TGIFridays…

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t Kim Kardashian’s sex tape leaked without her permission? I recognize that it happened many years ago, before we really had an understanding of how horribly women’s privacy can be violated by the internet, but it’s pretty horrific that people keep throwing that back in her…
Am I the only one who didn’t really like the show? It’s one thing to do an investigation into a murder, even if you’re biased. But to me, the show didn’t do any investigating of its own. It didn’t bring anything to the table that wasn’t covered in the trial. Instead, they just focused on evidence that was presented at…
This is one of the things that sucks the most about living in New York: either you’re making enough money to live in an even remotely decent apartment and therefore working insane hours and have no social/love life, or you’re working sane hours and dirt poor and live in a terrible apartment in an awful neighborhood.…
I don't understand how being spoiled with education and great experiences makes you that much more of a sympathetic person than someone just spoiled with cash. Cash is nice because it buys education and nice experiences. Those are still things you only get from having been born wealthy.
I'm sure it feels better in some ways, but it's also a hell of a lot more difficult, and I'm amazed at what she was able to do tonight
Can't imagine how difficult it must be to be performing right now so soon after such a loss. She's doing really well too, as is the whole production. Best wishes for her and her family
I’m all for discussions about ways in which we can make the lives of our troops better (starting with not starting unnecessary wars). But what happened to the “personal responsibility, don’t blame others for your problems” mantra that Palin and other conservatives believe in so passionately (and apparently…
But my point is, if you read the article, there's nothing offensive about the comparison. Our joke of a political process already lends itself to comparisons to a horse race, and with that analogy she's the underperforming thoroughbred. I don't get why we're all bashing a Fox News host for echoing a WashPo analogy…
I mean, she’s right. She didn’t invent the analogy:
They could find anthrax in chipotle burritos and I would still probably eat there
The point is less “it would be OK to not pay these athletes if the majority of them were white” and more “it’s particularly egregious of us to tolerate this scheme of wealthy white men becoming even more wealthy off of the unpaid labor of black men in a country with our tragic racial history that was founded on white…
DuVernay is right about this being about much more than an awards ceremony. Hollywood consists of mostly white males producing, directing, and writing stories about white males. Almost all the films that get released to theaters, from the fantastic to the awful, are about white men. It's about empowering women and…
Gotta cover that enormous demographic of people who spend their days watching General Hospital and are also big enough college football fans to forego social plans on the biggest party night of the year to watch a football game
I’m shocked (SHOCKED) that not having the kid who has never faced the consequences of his actions not have to face the consequences of his actions didn’t work to reform him.
Yes let’s keep it uncomplicated. Why confuese children by allowing the races to integrate, or marry each other, or recognize gay people, or be decent towards trans* people?
Also, waiting until millions have been murdered before we recognize the danger in someone is a pretty terrible way to go about it. I agree that many comparisons are hyperbolic (and every leader gets compared to Hitler at some point, like Bush and Obama) but the Holocaust didn’t happen overnight, and I don’t think it’s…
To be fair, I never myself compared him to Hitler. I said that he’s been receiving comparisons to Hitler.
Trump has been getting a lot of comparisons Hitler lately, but this strikes me as familiar to another murderous dictator: Kim Jong Il. Like, we’re told Donald Trump’s health would be the best of any president in history, that he’s got the most amazing memory ever seen, that he’ll solve all our problems because he’s…
Uhh, first of all, it wasn’t her speech that people objected to, but her comments afterwards backstage. But I think the response here to this story disproves your notion that people are on a witch hunt. She said something problematic, but we all use poor words sometimes, and she talked about why she was wrong and…
