Nah, the worst is having a partner who is so insecure that they feel the need to critique whether or not the fantasy in question is edgy and hip enough.

Kyle Chandler, who will always be known as Friday Night Lights’ Coach Taylor

The responses here make me angry. Does this woman get no blame for what she did? Are we really banking everything on a mental illness and perhaps.. just selfishness?

How was it a “classic derail”? Even Jezebel speculated that the tweets were about Taylor in its initial post. Is Taylor not allowed to respond to subtweets about her?

I have absolutely no problem with the Times in this story. What they have done is pierce the very ugly, racist veil and allowed us all to see the kinds of assumptions that have shaped women’s tennis as a sport. My take is that they are reporting it “straight” and allowing people to fucking bury themselves when they

In what way does the New York Time deserve blame for this? The paper is reporting a story and didn’t take an editorial stance on either side of the issue.

I don’t really care about labels and how people label themseleves. I care about what they do, what they think, and how they vote. Well I don’t really care about celebrities and what they think so much.

The AAUP says they’ve examined the documentation of the faculty hearing Buchanan underwent, which says that while she used “profanity, poorly worded jokes, and occasionally sexually explicit jokes in her teaching methodologies,” there was no evidence that she directed this behavior “against any particular individual,

Just because people don’t say the right thing doesn’t mean they are racist. Not everyone is sophisticated enough to know how to properly address race. And quite frankly it’s not an easy discourse to have.

This is not a good thing. Don Lemon was abso-fucking-lutely right about this. This was an act of terrorism. It’s long since been time that these white supremacist fucks that do this type of thing be called what they are. DOMESTIC TERRORISTS! Even a stopped watch is right twice a day, so I hope all the media pickup on

Unfortunately this happened as he was correctly calling the attacks terrorism

Confused old person face. What is this even about?

The real tragedy here is that they didn’t put BB King on the cover.

I’m not sure I believe Chet Haze about what his parents have and have not said to him.

I actually don’t think it comes from a place of bigotry. My mother is one of these feminists and the thing to remember is that theirs is the generation that went to college and fought to have a job other than a secretary or nurse. They wore pants and had to fight tooth and nail to get traditionally men’s jobs. Mom mom

I don’t think that piece is anywhere near that simple. When I read that piece I do see a number of flaws with the presentation and occasional content of the opinions being shared, but for the most part I do see some serious issues worthy of being raised. When a cisgender woman listens to a transgender woman discuss

So, Mike Huckabee = terrible person. That part I'm clear on. "His son is a loser because he's a bad actor" is the part I'm struggling with. It just seems very arbitrary and mean-spirited and misguided and ultimately pointless. And playing a misogynist in a film is not the same thing as being one in real life, is it?

So... wait, what? You have a feature called Loser Sons of Politicians (is there a companion feature about Loser Daughters?) because you'd rather attack the children of politicians than the politicians themselves? Or am I missing something there? But regardless, you've found a few sons of politicians who, by the sounds

That’s one of the things I love too, regardless of my issue with there being so much rape, attempted or otherwise, throughout the books notwithstanding. I love that it stays with him, because in real life that would never go away, even if you’ve dealt with it on an intellectual level.

I love that Outlander has changed the conversation. They did a fantastic job, was totally worth keeping STARZ. Stay tuned folks, it’ll only get better.
