Lots of parents. When you’re weighing keeping your kid off SM with them missing a big part of socialization it becomes a tough choice.

That’s her now, with pretty good skin? Dang. What were the befores??? (I say this as someone with shitty skin)

Oh, Paris Hilton. Puh-leeze.

I know. Which is why I feel icky about her being pushed as a supermodel in the vein of her mother. She might grow up to be gorgeous. She might not, and that’s ok. But right now she just looks like a cute 14 year old kid, and it seems like a weird amount of pressure to put her on a magazine cover and say shes…

Cute kid obviously, but only in the last one does she even begin to approximate the model star power of her mother.

The area that’s flooding is Baton Rogue, which is pretty far inland. They also got 30 inches of rain in some areas which is incredible and would flood anybody. Southern Louisiana’s environment is pretty wet and is built to hold a lot of water. Much of the area being discussed is in a swampy/river delta-y environment,…

The media will be too busy showing dramatic water rescues and pictures of flooded neighborhoods to pause and give the current governments (local/state/federal working together) credit for doing a much better job than those oafs did during Katrina.

At least the current President is actually doing something instead of flying over in Air Force One and waving.

I agree. I tried to watch his show, but there was always something stilted about it. I think it might have gone through a few changes, but it just didn’t work for me.

I tried, I really did, but I just didn’t find Larry Wilmore that funny. The Colbert/Stewart reunion the other day served to underline just what we’ve lost this election cycle; maybe it’s not fair to compare, but Wilmore just isn’t in the same league as those guys.

Sam Bee is, though. Can we have a nightly show with…

I’m disappointed, but not surprised. Wilmore is obviously a strong writer with great ideas, but I personally didn’t think his on-screen presence was very compelling.

That’s an excellent point. Phelps scowling became a symbol of how focused and serious an athlete he is. But god forbid Gabby Douglas not smile all the fucking time. Ridiculous.

Of course! Don’t you know girls must smile. all. the. time.???

Yes! That video of Phelps scowling was deemed hilarious but when gabby doesn’t smile on cue it’s not okay?

What the fuck is wrong with people? She hasn’t been sour, she’s been serious. It’s a serious endeavor. She’s a THREE-TIME gold medalist in TWO Olympics. What the fuck have any of you done?

Because she got third and because of the two per country was out. Sometines its hard to have a mask on. Im not going to get mad at her for not smiling all the time.

she fell victim to it THREE times, in all around, beam, and floor

I believe that because Gabby paved the way, Simone’s road to victory was just a little less difficult. Gabby dealt with the brunt of the racially based criticism 4 years ago and although I bet that isn’t completely gone away (Italy), it seems better. Finally, all you haters can $#*& off. When have you experienced or…

People are really ridiculous and need to leave her alone. You don’t have to put your hand over your heart for the anthem and God forbid she not be jumping and screaming.

Come on, Beatles Reference Kinja Name. It’s critical to point out micro-aggressions as well as larger sexist and racist offenses.
