Okay but is Jimmy going to apologize for being a medicore white male in an industry where plenty of women and POC (who don’t do fake laughing and fake water spitting) would do a lot better job than he ever could?

Yep. The ideal of masculinity they subscribe to is not the strong silent provider/protector, but “do and say whatever you want, get money, get women, and call anyone who disagrees with you losers and haters”.

Remember, Trump’s base loves him because he hits the people they want to hit, like families of combat veterans and women who die of tragic accidents.

As an AI researcher, I have pretty strong opinions about this, but tl;dr: the models are almost certainly biased and I don’t think this problem is going to go away.

We live in a country run by wealthy, older, mostly white men. It’s beyond their comprehension that people are quitting their jobs because childcare literally costs more than many people take home in a year. It’s beyond their comprehension that, by the time many couples have the income and stability to afford children,…

My husband and I decided not to have children nearly a decade ago. This decade has given me absolutely no reasons to doubt my decision. Bringing a child into a world where they are likely to endure cycles of environmental disasters, war, famine, civil unrest, joblessness, and lack of healthcare....ummm, no?

Not sure what world you all live in, but the economy’s going to be perfect by November. It doesn’t matter if the top-selling products are coffins, headstones, and memorial wreaths and the top-selling services are embalming, cremation, and burials. The only thing higher than the Dow will be the spike in the COVID…

Ironically, this is when I was born (36 in July.) Mother Dearest just CANNOT understand why I have strongly ambivalent feelings about bringing a babe into this fucked up world.

strong Lena Dunham vibes from Alison Roman, so I imagine we’ll just hear shit like this again. and again. and again.

Do not mess with Chrissy!!!!

“My father was a marine who fought to protect the laws and government of this country. That is why I demand the right to break those laws and defy that government.”

They’d have been better off running a ‘best of the Met Gala fashions’ retrospective photo series than this...

Yay for Chase!  Maximus looks majestic. :D

1. Say what you want about the movie but Christopher Reeve is still the best Superman:

Obligatory “Historian Coming to Ruin All Your Fun!” warning, but Victorians absolutely did not cover furniture legs because the wood was...giving them wood (sorry). Those that were covered were just to protect them, or the floor/rug it was sitting on, much like the furniture paws of today.

That being said, one of my…

I watched 2.5 episodes, then could stomach no more of these people. Saff seemed like the only decent one.

I’m sorry, maybe I’m not reading the statement correctly and I don’t get that this is sarcasm, but this is just not true. Circumstantial evidence is still evidence.

My mom sewed masks for my husband and me. When she asked if I wanted to come in and get them or if she should just leave them in the mailbox I started crying because I finally had to put into words how scared I am for her. I’m wishing your mother lots of health and energy through this stressful period. I’m grateful…

They saw an article about blackness that they could pounce on and be trite and contrarian.
