Yes. Because it was a joke and she had mentioned his name as a thank you in the Emmy (which is sweet). And people with an actual sense of humor like jokes. The person telling the story is telling it endearingly and said she was his favorite.

That was a coven and stop spilling our secret rituals all over the internet.

The superintendent said she had allowed the students to use the phone “in the past”. I doubt she had those photos on there when she let the students use it, and she was likely present and watching during any activities they did on it then. There was no reason for her to have to monitor its current contents for student…

I am a teacher who is VERY careful about what is in my phone and where I leave it at school. Having said that, it is MY phone and no one has a right to access anything on it without my permission. This teacher should not have been fired and this boy should be severely dealt with. What a joke.

why did she even have a phone in the first place...WHAT WAS SHE THINKING???

...is THAT what she’s saying? ‘Patty?’ I thought she said “the power of pain compels you”. I need to keep re-watching.

I mean, look, I’m a male who has loved the ghostbusters since forever and a day ago and still watch it at least once a year. And I was skeptical...

...that they would totally blow the proton packs but they look fuckin’ sweet and the particle thrower beams are completely on-point. Done and done.

For the love of all that’s holy and unholy, avoid the comment sections on Facebook & Youtube. Masculinity so fragile.

Please tell me, then, how the “hardworking little yellow people with small dongs ... HAR HAR, I’m talking about MINIONS” shit in the context of #OscarsSoWhite was even remotely a good enough joke to warrant dragging out that shitty trope. (Also, if I sound cranky, it’s not at you, whose comments I have always enjoyed.…

I like him quite a bit but not everything he does is particularly satirical. A lot of it is him using his characters as shields to tell offensive jokes.

White. People.

Here’s the thing: Zoe is Black. Beyonce is Black. We can all be Black because race is context specific. As a lighter skinned Black American woman, I’ve been told that I wouldn’t be considered Black in quite a few contexts. That’s cool, but I grew up a Black woman in the US and you or anyone else can’t take that away…

I disagree. There is no moving of the goalposts. She’s Black. Some people will try to say otherwise and they’d be wrong. She’s AfroLatina. She’s Black. Both of her parents are Black. She codes as Black. She’s Black.

Some Puerto Ricans and Dominicans are Black.

Yup, you’re right! A lot of sites covered it pretty well and they’re all great reads, but as far as sites similar to Jezebel (i.e. openly liberal/feminist), only the Mary Sue (as far as I know) covered it. Also, when I googled “Chris Rock Asian Jokes”, I saw that Jeremy Lin criticized it, which was pretty relevant,…

The Mary Sue covered it! I think Jezebel has focused so much attention on the upcoming election that they’ve missed a lot of stories that they used to cover.

Didnt think this was funny either

Terrible story! And tbh I’m not a fan, but this interview is great. Too bad people are complicated/shitty/still right sometimes. Sorry you had that experience.

You spell NYong’o’s first name differently three different ways in the first four graphs (including the headline) - ‘Lupita’, ‘Lupta’, ‘Lupto’.
