Reading through this it seems the entirely justified anger at gentrification and the associated what I’d call “poverty-tourism” (see the still relevant Common People by Pulp), where richer or “affluent” individuals choose to move to “rougher” areas because of the “culture” of the place without thinking how that ends…

This is a weird comment written as if she should distribute her music to a service that makes money for itself and little for her, because you paid for it?

Dear America:

we really shouldn’t drag people for bad grammar, even garbage people like paris hilton, because it reinforces classism and ableism

As a white girl myself I have always hated Lena Dunham with an exaggerated passion for these exact same reasons. I grew up around people of her “station” or whatever you wanna call it and they are, I’m sorry but it’s true, awful. They are flippant towards social justice issues across the board, and as Clemmons states,…

LaVar definitely won. But I’d argue that Xi Jingping REALLY won.

The three kids were arrested right before Xi was supposed to meet with Trump over a (three-tiers incredibly stupid) crime that...wasn’t really that big of a deal. Given how most world leaders (but particularly) Asian ones, know how to play Trump these…

It’s important to point that out because it intersects with another facet of Dunham’s zeitgeist - she’s basically the female Woody Allen. An unattractive person who nevertheless dares to be narcissistic. What chutzpah!

You’re literally admitting Jezebel informed you of an incident of rape you otherwise wouldn’t have known about and yet you’re accusing them of not caring.

Here’s the answer, and I don’t think you’re going to like it:

You see this kid of behavior with tons of shitty prep school, liberal arts college rich kids. They only know other rich white people and fetishisze other people. Hell, Oberlin, where she went to college, is pretty freakin lily white with mostly trust fund kids and middle class kids who got suckered into going to an…

I’m squarely in the #5 category. LaVar actually surprised me in doing what he did because I really thought he was the kind of hotep that would praise or compliment Trump and imply that he’s “not all that racist” for intervening and getting his son released (which is what every American administration does in cases…

A lot of those women saw themselves in lena and can’t grasp that they might be racist as fuck as well.

5. making people who are usually turned off by Ball’s antics (people like me) root for him (because fuck Trump)

I think it was GELLA yesterday who posted the wall of apologies Lena Dunham has had to make over the years and that plus the above account of the friend who’d use the n word “as a joke”, it gives a very clear picture of the bubble she lives in. People like that are priviledged personified. It’s very easy for me to…

I appreciate this young woman taking a stance and possibly losing a paycheck in the process.

Good. I wish EVERYONE who claims to be feminist or progressive would sever ties. I’ll never forget the Jia Tolentino piece on Jezebel which in my very humble opinion did not go far enough at all, and the scores of commenters who were willing to give Lena pass after motherfucking pass despite example after…

So he is definitely a scumbag and almost certainly did this, but if they were the only two people in the car, how does this part happen:

If you don’t count the nightly dinners of hockey-pucked ribeyes slathered in ketchup.

I’ve only ever done a 50-miler, but I can confirm that ultras are more mental than they are physical. If you’re going to be serious about doing one, you train so much that the physical aspect is not such a big deal. It’s when you’re sitting at mile 30 (or in her case, mile 60 or so), that your mind starts to fuck with…
