Thanks, I hate it. What a tone deaf story.

I think the intent and audience matters too. A private family making a good-faith attempt to help a child dress as a favourite footy player, can probably be cut some slack. A “Fox Sports personality dressed as Kaepernick”...not so much.

When I was reading his on/off the record complaints and requests, I was like “did I misunderstand or I misread what his job is?” But nope, he’s just another white man unqualified for his powerful position.

What an absolute piece of trash. On one hand I feel badly that he wasted so much time going back and forth with the e-mails. On the other hand, I'm glad he did something so stupid so the internet can see his true colours.

Julianne, happy to discuss the journalistic details of this if you are free.

“You treated my culture like a Halloween costume.”

Scarlett Johansson’s already up for the role of Lydia in the film adaptation.

As a non-American, I had to smile at your comment because it’s such an American way of viewing the issue. Whether from the left or the right, it always comes down to money. The article and a lot of the author’s critics make the point that she’s profiting from Mexicans’ pain, and your proposed remedy is that the…

I know this is referring to an almost 20 year old book but I had a similar reaction to Ann Patchett’s Bel Canto which won lots of awards and made her famous, but in which she took (without explicitly acknowledging anywhere in the book, a foreword or afterword) a very real, very painful, very controversial event rooted…

So by humanize what she meant was make a generic good immigrant that white people could stomach without feeling threatened or scared of THE OTHER.

“according to pathology experts, it would have taken five to ten minutes to strangle her”

It is grotesque that they are referring to her killer as her “ex”. He’s an ex because she isn’t alive anymore, what the actual fuck. Also the kink community is pretty hardcore about safety, and the biggest thing they depend on is trust. This is not kink gone wrong, as he clearly didn’t give a shit about her afterwards…

It’s less the Press coverage that pisses me off, I expected that because of course they’d sink that low, but more how New Zealand who for days decried how unfair and wrong it was for the accused to have their identity revealed online before they could defend themselves (and threatened legal action against those who…

Mari Kondo has built an empire convincing people that they could be happier if they just get rid of nearly everything in their homes by emotionally recognizing the value of the item, thanking it, and letting it go on to some other life.

“Every generation deserves its own Florence + the Machine”

The NYT link puts the video behind their paywall, but the Times also posted it on YouTube, so if anyone wants to watch it they can:

My husband adores Olivia Coleman, which makes me happy because if frizzy haired funny women are his type I'm set for LIFE 

What are you insinuating about Alan Parsons?
