What the hell kind of mealy mouthed “poor me” shit is that? Ohhh, liking the work of assholes is such a tough cross to bear! I was a huge Led Zepelin fan in high school, but then I learned that Jimmy Page basically kidnapped a 14 year old, and possibly stole some of his more famous riffs. Now I don’t listen to Led…

The UK has, in general, very reasonable speed laws. Unless marked otherwise, roads like this (single lane) are 60mph, and given how narrow and curvy many of them are, that's certainly high enough. In the US, I very rarely come across a road I don't feel comfortable driving at the limit in dry weather. In the UK,…

I’d say you’re ethically obligated, not to boycott their work, but to boycott any system that shelters them from justice from their actions. So there’s no need to boycott Kant or other old authors, they’re all dead, and nothing you do really effects them one way or another. But professional football has made a…

I don’t think Amy “gets a free pass” when she’s consistently called out on things that are patently un-fucking-cool - the very fact that this is being discussed now is indicative of that. I think the reason why she garners a lot of praise is that she also has a lot to say that resonates with a lot of people,…

I can’t take “womanist” or “humanist” or any of that parsing terms to minutely describe where you're political ideals lie seriously. It detracts from the greater conversation and puts the focus on language. It keeps people who agree with each other fighting over the details instead of rallying support together. It's…

Her monologue brought up a great point: who the fuck is capable of making Hillary Clinton drink tequilla ? That’s real power. That mysterious woman probably runs some shadow organization that will never be toppled.

Right. Bomani, Deadspin, people with a brain: that kids destroying their bodies for next to nothing while people make millions off their work is wrong.

FUN STORY: Last week I was standing on the street trying to make a phone call and some random dude walked up to me and tried to talk to me while I was on the phone.

“Please leave me alone” or “Please go away” usually is met with a “fuck you very much, bitch” response so, hard pass on inviting insults into my day. How about dudes learn and understand incredibly common social cues?

Not if you had the funeral director set the casket on fire in front of them?

Yes, it very much fucking is off base to say that, unless by “known better” you mean he should have been sitting at the front door with a shotgun waiting to greet this dickbag properly. It is not in any way required or expected for Derek Fisher or Gloria Govan to make relationship decisions based on fear of what Matt…

I don’t think it’s unreasonable to expect that professional sportswriters who bother to comment on this situation have some semblance of prior knowledge of Matt Barnes’ record. Especially given that a lot of them are using that very record as a basis for their back-slapping chortles.

I think it’s fair to criticize actors and actresses who appear in, say, Roman Polanski’s movies since it’s fairly common knowledge that he raped a 13 year old. Obviously that’s a different situation, but I don’t think it’s so simple as, “we can’t treat actresses like people who can be morally informed about their…

Spell check police here, headline says “Daugher” instead of “Daughter.”

Emmet Till’s mother did not ask for her son’s dead body to be used as a rhetorical tool on the internet against black people who are 1) already aware of what happened to her son and 2) dealing with their own daily racial traumas from living in a white supremacy.

A white boy or a black girl would not be suspended in the same way. People view whiteness as morality, and femaleness as powerlessness; a white boy “doesn’t mean any harm” (even though he’s certainly capable of it if he stares hard enough, apparently), and a black girl is entirely incapable of harm (and everything…

Doesn’t matter. It can still be dehumanizing to the black body to see that. Some people make a choice not to see these pictures or the videos of black people being shot, we don’t need to see another black body being destroyed to believe it.

WTH is up with everyone on here like “I wonder what would have happened if person was x and the other was x” JFC this is racism. We all know it. The child was suspended because he’s black. Quit pretending like there’s some other fucking reason.

Tacking the word “white” in front of any generalizing rant about women doesn’t make you not a misogynist bigot.

Seriously. That is not okay. People here have PTSD and that kind of trigger could be debilitating. What the actual fuck?
