This was so wonderful to watch, especially the interview afterwards, where she was clearly so overcome with emotion. One thing that really got to me though was how NBC kept calling her the first African-American to win an olympic swimming gold. While that’s technically also true, they obviously meant first black woman…

Re the Michael Buble article, I find it so infuriating when men describe watching their own children as “babysitting”. You’re not doing anyone a favor by looking after your own children and you never hear women describing what they do everyday as babysitting. For me, it’s one of the most pervasive examples of the…

As much as I might dislike Kim Kardashian, I have to really admire how she manages to keep her head up amidst the constant undeserved vitriol and hypocrisy against her and her family.

It’s an incredibly disgusting slap in the face to anyone who’s ever experienced sexual violence for you to say that rapping about rating someone is almost as bad as rapping about rape, especially when you clearly have no idea what the term actually means in a slang contest.

Did you know deviled eggs date all the way back to Ancient Rome?

I love how everyone has just forgotten his unrepentantly problematic handling of the Anita Hill/Clarence Thomas case as the head of the Senate Judiciary Committee.

I hope this happens. I also don’t get why it hasn’t before. What represents a very negligible amount for these companies will be more than enough to make a huge difference in the lives of others.

I’m not sure, this might be a case of better the devil you know than the one you don’t. I can only imagine the sort of fuckery Murdoch will get up to as the new head of the loudest voice in the ear of the crazy right wing.

Also, surely “powder on the top of his ears to hide redness” = powder to hide the shame and embarrassment he felt having to support Trump on national television.

As someone who’s met her, I can second this. She’s very lovely and thoughtful, but not the brightest. Though she does work really hard to affect an air of seeming smarter than she is.

Yes, this all the way. Say whatever you will about Hillary, but she is definitely #betterthanthis and the possibility of a Trump presidency.

They already have, though Selena managed to put her foot in it deeply. She tweeted saying that there are more important things to think about, then when someone tweeted at her asked why she and Taylor had been silent about BLM, she tweeted something ridiculous about how she didn’t need to and didn’t give a fuck about…

Oh, I totally agree with that, which is part of my point. It’s a weak point of complaint, especially considering the more valid things that could be said. A lot of people think she is justified because they over look the fact that certain words, including and especially bitch and the n word, are used in rap with a…

The video above is only part of the footage, but there is further video where she says he has to tell his side of the story and I didn’t matter that she’d already sold millions of records, since he’d honestly never heard of her before. The only argument she possibly has is that the video makes no mention of the word…

If this whole thing doesn’t spawn some sort of fantastic epic crossover diss song with Mayer, Perry, Harris and Kanye, I just might die of disappointment.

The thing that infuriates me is that its obvious from the videos that she was aware of and approved the sex line, but somehow even if she didn’t hear it, his use of the word bitch, as commonplace as it is in rap, is where she draws the line. It’s ridiculous

There’s also another snapchat where she makes clear reference and even chooses the version of the “had sex” line she prefers, going for the more explicit final version. If she really was somewhat uncomfortable/feeling pressured about the whole thing, there’s no way she would have done that. IMO Taylor made it clear to…

Just to add, as more information comes out about what happened, it seems that the brother was a drug addict and the rest of the family had no hand in what happened and are absolutely devastated. The parents were granted police protection from the son before he was caught. http://tribune.com.pk/story/1143481/…

Well Trump did actually offer her a job despite how awful she was, so that says everything you need to know.

Yes, a study from Middle East Quarterly, found on Middle East Forum, a website about American interests in the ME is the accurate impartial source we all need.
