This reads as a rude awakening for the certain type of white women who strenuously believed that the police work for them.

Huh. I was going to comment that the signed letters under the sign in the photo don’t match what I learned (granted, it was ages ago) but then I noticed it was a store in China. Which makes me even more confused, actually, because STARBUCKS is in English but I assume the letters are specific to ... signed English in…

I was friends with a guy growing up. Lets call him Dave*. Dave could be annoying at times, kind of an obnoxious know-it-all, but he came through for me when it counted and became part of the friend group. Was tight with this guy from like 6th or 7th grade onward.

But see, to me, whether it’s ignorance or grift, the moment you start manifesting that sort of nonsense, sensible people everywhere should take serious issue with you doing things, like, say, run a multi-racial women’s coalition designed to stand up to racism, sexism, homophobia and other forms of bigotry.

Mallory never seemed to get the idea her relationship to NOI wasn’t really some special thing. But actually the it’s same story that anyone who found their way into some kind of religious organization during a hard time in life and then realized it had deeply troubling elements.

Cuomo initially diminished the importance of the pandemic and mocked de Blasio for taking it seriously (which everyone seemed to immediately forget); that is when he lost me permanently. And then when it became clear that the situation was dire, he turned 180 degrees and positioned himself as the savior in the midst…

People have not liked Andrew Cuomo for a while. What happened was that he got elevated to hero status because he opposed Trump. The bar was very low. As you can imagine, people thinking your harasser is a hero is probably a bridge too far. Much like Alec Baldwin and Bill Clinton, their ego surpasses good judgment and…

I remember when KevOnStage posted this video thinking it was funny, but the comments revealed a host of Black adults wishing their parents had taken a better approach to parenting them. On the opposite end of the spectrum there were Black adults proudly boasting about getting called every name under the Sun and…

I saw this for what it was - our community’s baffling commitment to toxicity, abuse, and generational curses. Doing this to your child, even your grown adult child is not “being a man”. Doing this does not make you a good parent and in fact you are being a trash parent. Even if provoked, this child did not ask to be…

I’m really, really over the “I’m not perfect...I’m just human” line. None of us has EVER mistaken clergy for The Divine. Given how much power they wield (and are given), it behooves them to have good character. Pastor, Priest, Imam, Rabbi, Manbo, Houngan, Santera/o, etc. If this were a rapper or a teen parents,…

Most people who have been following Cuomo for his whole career don’t find this suspicious. He has always been a creepy jackass — he is just a less smooth Bill Clinton. 

First thing’s first:

This is even more egregious when you know that Sarah Everardwas killed by a metropolitan police officer... One would think that the Metropolitan Police, at least, would think about the optics, but I guess that even that is too much to ask

This “tactic” of surrounding or cornering groups of peaceful protestors seems to be one of the main ways police escalate situations. We saw it all through the BLM protests, the same has been going on in Myanmar with the protests against the coup there and now yet another example.

It’s never too late to win the breakup. 

I got to see pics of my surgery too but they were printed out. I think it is odd for a doc to use their personal phone? There should probably be a dedicated digital camera in surgery for that?

One of my favorite comedians, Katherine Ryan, has a bit about it in her Netflix special. How somehow, magically, on Celine’s 18th birthday they just randomly happened to fall in love. I think Celine is great, and I enjoy her kookiness, but she really has no context when she talks about her late husband being the love…

I agree. The Soon- Yi situation is already disgusting on its own. Even if we never heard from Dylan, he should have been ostracized and marked forever like Roman Polanski (but actually ostracized)

I have NEVER understood why he is lauded as some genius auteur. I, since I was a child found him repulsive and scary. I couldn’t understand why it was believable that beautiful, very young women would date him in his movies, and why anyone thought that was a story that made sense. In my opinion, the reason why several…
