Kim Kardashian is now being called white? Okay so we should call lighter multiracial people white?

I wasn’t referring only to soy. I was referring to almonds. The proliferation of other foods that were maybe necessary for a portion of population that couldn’t eat this or that but are now being used as real substitutes and not in a way that is better for the planet. Yes, cows are bad. Methane. Ruining the ozone. All

Oh give me a break. Saying people didn’t understand “what they were saying” doesn’t necessarily mean rap. How is this a fucking shot at Miranda? Give your false outrage a rest.

This is an example of conservation being promulgated by a source that promotes capitalism to an almost comic degree. I wonder how many species we in the west have destroyed completely unaware of the fact. But god forbid some South Americans expand food sources (trout) and assign certain vague benefits to a frog as

Well he was the star the first season. And she was a background player with many other characters. As they killed people off, she became more prominent and is basically a co-star. I don’t see it as unfair from the start.

I honestly don’t think the Oakland thing is that bad. At some point, we have to realize that certain things are thrown around proudly by POC that are not owned by them and that are often used as ways to be inclusive towards people who are not POC. The one thought coming to my head is someone like Cornell West calling

When you use revolutionary language, this is what you get. Bernie should be ashamed.

Sometimes people say the Greek system would be fixed if you mixed men and women. Yeah, about that...

Except you know nothing about her husband, life, or marriage. So who the fuck cares what you feel? If we're being totally blunt.

Apparently it was brought to the attention of the police. I did the research myself. Whether I still find it compelling that the police chose not to go after Allen (they say for the sake of the child), I don’t know.

As I wrote, I do know facts of the case. I finally read about it a couple years ago because the build up of articles. If you’re knit picking that I forgot irrelevant details like his wife’s age at their marriage (which is not the “case” at all, but something separate) than that’s up to you. What other details do I not

I believe that both YACHT and Jezebel come out of this covered in shit. YACHT for not actually toeing the line correctly (they did act like victims and, yes, that’s fucked up) and Jezebel for doing what they do so well: acting like they’re reporting when they are just posting clickbait for their emotional commentariot

The problem with Jezebel persistently throwing this stuff out there is that the most Allen is guilty of is marrying an 18 year old (or however of age she was) who was his wife’s adopted daughter. It’s weird. Undoubtedly. But him abusing his daughter (or is it only Mia Farrow’s daughter by a previous marriage?) is

It’s a stunt folks. There are people trying to download the tape and they can’t. Which is to say that Ms. July is likely making a joke. That Yacht is doing this is kind of embarrassing. I saw they perform once and they’ve got some decent tunes.

Did a brief internet search. It seems that it is a stunt. Have heard of no one being able to watch it. Which makes July’s comment funny, not weird.

I find the analysis of why men are being more emotional for the purposes of public consumption important. I think shitting on Boenher (I’m a liberal, but find it a bit odd how some of the ways our comedians and cultural critics make fun of him is by demeaning his masculinity in the most traditional way) and other men

I normally don't engage in this stuff but this is hilarious. Mostly because it means whoever is in front of her laying down must have a slightly larger frame then the photo suggests.

Don’t know if the invocation of Solnit is necessarily appropriate in this context. She seems to criticizing something this site and it’s patrons are great at promoting: a hive mind ideology that casts out any of those liberal people who won’t adopt it’s pop-academic leanings. Jia, as I remember of your writing, you

I realize there are conservative places in the country, but as someone who’s grown up in a liberal area and gone to a university mostly populated by liberals or those leaning that way, the use of “I feel” instead of “I think” or “I believe” is used by those who are afraid of how their thoughts will be dealt with. And

I think that’s a bit unfair. There’s the simple fact that white people don’t know who the butt of the joke is. And have the impression it’s them and their whiteness. That’s an awkward topic. I don’t think it means an audience is “against” the comedian, if they are not laughing with them. It simply means that certain
