Here’s another option. Stop setting every show in New York (or LA). The city doesn’t play a role in most of the shows, and the rest of the country isn’t as enamoured of NY as TV producers like to pretend.

a) Criticizing someone for appropriating Harajuku is silly, because Harajuku itself borrows from non-Japanese cultures.

The constant undermining of the most prominent black director in the US continues. Why watch a show before critiquing it? Thanks Clover.

Very worth watching. The first and probably one of the best movies that deal with 9/11. Philip Seymour Hoffman, Edward Norton, Rosario Dawson, Anna Paquin. It wasn’t given much attention when it was released but it’s now considered by many to be a minor masterpiece.

Well, he seems fully aware that the scene was every kind of wrong and regrets it so let’s see what he does. I’ve always like Spike Lee’s work, even when I have problems with it. And this despite having met him and knowing that he’s a grumpy little guy.

My god- this was a fucking joke!!! Colbert intended it as a joke, she knew it was a joke, the audience knew it was a joke. Kind of like when African Americans say, “Bill Clinton was the first Black President.” It’s tongue in cheek. Humor, with a 1% touch of truth.

Serena is considered the GOAT of my book. Hopefully she'll rest up and kill it next time.

I believe I may be able to shed some light on why the publications cited in this article cited the Holiday story the way they did. Both the Times-Picayune and the New Orleans Advocate are New Orleans-based publications — they serve the citizens of the city of New Orleans and the surrounding area. Jrue Holiday is a…

I think because this is a New Orleans paper, it makes sense that they connect it to Jrue’s role with the Pelicans. The story is about him not playing the beginning of the season for the reason of his wife’s illness, regardless of who she is. If he wasn’t married to her, it wouldn’t have even made the paper.

Her struggle—their struggle—has nothing to do with the Pelicans,

I’m sure there is an element of sexism to this, but could it be impossible that a New Orleans paper is choosing to frame this story around the husband because he’s an athlete for a New Orleans team? I get as exhausted as everyone else by women being treated as accessories to men’s lives, but in this case I think it…

Because it’s a local paper, and people in New Orleans care more about their basketball team than they do retired soccer players.

If either of the articles you cited were from places other than New Orleans, I’d agree 100%.

I think she should be able to work again, but a communications professor blocking journalists from a public area and saying bring some muscle (a threat) is a very, very, very bad look. That and her non-apology, I know I sure as hell wouldn’t want her working for any department I was involved with.

Victorville? STORY CHECKS OUT.

Fuck the fuck off with that shit.

Maybe Matt Bomer didn’t think “maybe someday you’ll actually do something good” was opening the conversation and thought it felt just a teeny tad hostile from someone he didn’t know at all.

You’re right, of course, but I also agree with Ken. They’re not caused by Lupus, they’re just part of the stress of a severe and debilitating illness.

I’m so tired of people calling people out for blocking them on Twitter. Not everyone needs or wants to open up their app to critcism. There are plenty of other (better) forum for that.

Can’t say I blame Matt for blocking that woman.
