I’m not going to say that violence against trans people is a non-issue. It is. But to claim that 22 murders in a year is an “epidemic”, is lazy writing and agenda pushing at its lamest. If 22 in a year is an “epidemic” then it’s on par with the epidemic of falling vending machines which kill the same amount of people…

The Black community is not a monolith, just like no one would think to announce that the white community is. Some Black people are homophobic and transphobic, some are not. Just like all other kinds of people—you know, like individuals.

Eyewitness reports: comedian still telling jokes. More at 11.

His jokes suck, but this line...

It wouldn’t surprise me at all if it were never addressed if only because no one even thinks of it, but if it were addressed it would be interesting to show how the two countries differed (or didn’t differ) in their handling of tribes.

People are taking a victory lap on Twitter about this show, but it seems really odd to me. How are three of today’s poorest states supposed to be “ascendant” in this alternate reality, where white america didn’t have more guns and more land and more resources and free trade with Europe and other colonial powers?

I’m pretty sure Dave Chappelle explored this fascinating piece of alt-history years ago...

Soooo...Liberia in the 21st Century?

So, this is just burnishing his ‘real progressive’ creds for whatever run comes next, right?

Kimsaprincess, Inc. sounds like an AOL email address that someone picked out as a kid and/or like one of those businesses that gets started by a very entrepreneurial 11-year-old and then gets picked up by Whole Foods.

I have literally emerged from the shower and realized I have forgotten to shave an entire leg

Mandy Patinkin seems as though he goes into every job with the firm conviction that he doesn’t need it and is ready to walk away from it at any given moment.

This, this, this.

This is also how Jolie selects her adopted children.

The casting story kind of perfectly encapsulates the worst assumptions about Angelina Jolie’s global humanitarianism, and her response to the criticism doesn’t help matters.

VF may have gotten some details wrong, but I don’t know that I buy Angelina’s story, either.

Paris and Culkin aren’t “bffs”, he’s her fricking godfather. He changed her diapers, ffs. He’s her go-to when she’s in NY. No need to slather creepsauce on it. She’s just as chummy with Michael Jackson’s other “son”, Omar Bhatti when he comes to LA. There’s an element of creep with HIS relationship with both those…

What do desperate, lonely, hungry children understand about film improvisation? Serious. GTFO

“parents, guardians, partner NGOs whose job it is to care for children, and medical doctors were always on hand”
