It’s a finger of speech.

In college, I could try to do that, and no matter what, it would mean something, but everyone just wanted something from me. Give me that, Jameis, gimme, gimme, gimme.

“Black folks tear each other down all the time, it’s not something she invented but does a great job of continuing.” Dude, what? Come on, you serious? Let’s not fall into that trap of saying how terrible Black people are, so this one Black person shouldn’t be called on her shit. She is purposely mean-spirited,

Get a better hero.

“Excuse me sir, yes, before you assault me could you wait one moment? I need to strap on my GoPro. One sec, one sec.....sorry the strap is fiddly...”

Or left on Earth?

What the hell is Wendy even suggesting with that comment? The clip cuts out immediately before she clarifies what she means by “rolling camera on it, you know like a camera [cuts out]” but she puts her hand up to the top of her head like she’s talking about filming sexual abuse with a GoPro.

I’ve known Meryl for over 25 years. She is one of the most generous, gracious human beings I’ve ever met, full stop. This particular case of faux outrage really pissed me off.

Exactly what I thought.

It seemed to me that, in context, she was essentially paraphrasing JFK’s “ich bin ein Berliner” statement. We’re all Berliners, we’re all Africans.

A journalist lied. And now other journalists who are reporting on the first journalist’s lies say only that it’s “not exactly” how things really happened. Y’all are disgusting.

Damn right! There aren't many actresses out there willing to do this.
