For me, being smart was looked at as being an uncool thing, even starting back in early grade school. This was the 1980s. I knew I was a smart girl, but I never wanted to come across as too smart. Kids would taunt you for being too brainy or doing better than them. You only wanted to be just smart enough to get…

I remember hearing the same thing from the last time Hillary Clinton lost an election. America would never vote for a black guy with a weird foreign sounding name.

finishing of his sentence “Period!” with an exclamation point is like some kind of meta-stupidity.

I think it’s high time the NCAA imposed the death penalty on itself.

Yeah, Diana is doing awesome work on these stories, and they’re rarely mentioned anywhere else.

This is astute.

I don’t want to diminish the pressing need for Baylor and everyone associated with the Football program or university administration to be set on fire but as awful as all this sounds it does sound like the result of what happens when you create a black market economy for something incredibly valuable.

I tend to worry about the actors. They’re not porn actors usually, just regular actors or, even unknown, first-and-only-one-time actors.

A few weeks ago, I saw The Handmaiden on a Thursday night in a theater that happens to be below ground. There were about six people seeing the movie: three lone guys, an old man who fell asleep about halfway through, a female couple, and myself, who sat in the back because that’s generally where I sit.

This is my main problem with child performers: many of them are completely unequipped for doing anything outside of the entertainment industry. It seems a lot of child actors are receiving pretty questionable education outside of performing arts, and also aren’t encouraged to have normal relationships with regular…

Thank you for this. It will be a go to for much needed respite. The fight has just begun and I’m already so weary of it. His words give me strength and it’s comforting to hope that millions will be moved to action by them.

There is a large disconnect between the beliefs of white, suburban Catholics and the actual Church doctrine. And not the same way that my 25-year-old self takes birth control and has premarital sex. It’s moreso on the issues that actually reflect the good parts of the church. My parents attended 13 years of Catholic…

Thandie Newton is the pinnacle of human beauty and grace.

I’m ready to be called into your meeting as a special consultant on women’s advertising and being male I will hold them with rapt attention as I slowly and plainly say “Listen to the women you work with you spineless dick holders.”

I wish Mexico’s president just ghosted Trump instead of formally saying he wasnt coming

Let’s be clear, White American Catholics voted overwhelmingly for Trump. Hispanic Catholics did not.

I truly do not understand anyone who claims to be Christian but opposes immigrants and refugees. What words could possibly be more clear than these?

My Jesuit friends are all about helping the immigrants and refugees, and they were taking no. Shit. Today.

Hmmm, maybe Joshua Jackson isn’t as committed to our imaginary relationship as I am.
