America Ferrera, a woman, was nominated for Best Supporting Actress. Please don’t erase her. Other than that, I agree. 

There are equally great stories to be told of human life outside of war, holocaust, slavery, genocide, HIV/AIDs, homophobia

Exactly. Barbie is a comedy. It’s not fair to judge it by obvious Oscar bait standards like Killers or Oppenheimer. It can be exhausting watching the same human suffering films. There are equally great stories to be told of human life outside of war, holocaust, slavery, genocide, HIV/AIDs, homophobia etc. I think…

I have the same complaint about Lily Gladstone’s acting or the way the character was written. She had no verve, no insight into the men around her and simply just watched things fall apart. Her mother and sister had more gumption. It didn’t help them, but at least they clocked what was happening. I think there is a…

I feel like the dissonance is that Ryan Gosling was nominated and none of the women were, not that the best actress nominees weren’t deserving. It’s that it’s strange to see the movie recognized only for a man’s contribution. I always think it’s weird to recognize something with a best picture nod and not the…

All of this!

“Lily Gladstone is the first-ever Native American nominated for Best Actress for her role in Killers of the Flower Moon”

It’s worth noting: This is the 3rd time Gerwig had a picture nominated for Best Picture but was passed over for a Best Director nomination.

I bet North Dakota already had a problem hiring enough doctors.

I have to disagree that Barbie was all fun silliness. Gerwig and Robbie managed to give it a real heart and soul about the pressures of womanhood, the toll inequality takes and how toxic masculinity hurts men as well as women, and it was that part of the movie that made it so successful and worthy of nomination. The…

Props to Jessica Valenti (always a good writer) for wrapping it up in a nutshell:

No, they’re just afraid of the backlash from his followers. Which means he’s already won. Same thing with the 14th amending disqualifications. If he shouldn’t be disqualified because it’ll piss off his followers, or because it’s politically suspicious, means that we’re intentionally ignoring the valid legal reasons…

This is absolutely disgusting. “Equality under the law?” HA! That myth has been conclusively debunked forever. Big Orange rants and raves, in- and out-of-court, completely unchecked; Ms. Carroll is deluged with death threats by Orange’s army of worked-up, inbred knuckle-draggers. Yet another black eye for the American…

Can anyone explain to me how the eff this fails to result in a contempt of court charge??? I guarantee no other defendant would be permitted such leeway to misbehave. Throwing him out of the room still leaves him access to a platform. Throw his ass in a cell until he apologizes for being a puerile brat.…

Let’s all raise a glass to this brave-ass woman who just keeps going, in the face of unbelievable ugliness, to take that piece of orange crap down. I can’t imagine trying to live any kind of life with Trump’s insane gun-toting asshole hordes on you every moment. But she just keeps going.

If Jezebel isn’t getting enough comments on this, I assure you, it’s because we’re all exhausted with this piece of shit NEVER paying the price for his nonsense. It seems like no amount of outrage will change the fact that he’s still free and has supporters.

This is why I thought we needed Warren as well. I’m fine with Bernie’s economic policies, but both his reproductive rights record and his tendency to mansplain why the economy was more important than anything else told me that anything that only affected women’s rights was going to be dropped by the wayside. Warren,…

I wanted Liz, but yeah. Say what you want about Biden; he’s not interested in turning the US into a fascist nation and tearing apart the Constitution in the process.

No one’s saying it should be “enough” to pick that guy. Personally, I’m saying it’s the only sane choice. Is it perfect? No. Do I wish there were better choices? Sure. Will my taking an uncompromising stand somehow provide us with better choices? Absolutely not. It’ll just get that orange fuckstick a second term and a…
