Egyptians are Africans.

If the biopic was a revisionist look at her life, I think it could be quite interesting: god knows Cleopatra was a fascinating woman living in a fascinating time, and it would be nice to see someone do her justice on the big screen.

Honestly? This is the single least surprising thing that has happened this year, right down to Gov. Whitmer being the planned victim. I can’t be the only one who had this down on their End Times Bingo card, can I?

It would have been satisfying, but since she is both Black and a woman...giving a white dude with much more social capital a verbal and intellectual flaying would have played badly with viewers. She had to walk an almost impossibly difficult tightrope to avoid being reflexively labeled “shrill,” or “arrogant,” or…

The isolation is killing him.

I suppose they hoped this would trigger a popular uprising of some kind.

“Vote for me or the country gets it.”

Vampire’s Wife is high fashion? I knew that luxury is on the ropes right now, but I didn’t know things have gotten so bad that they’ve had to call up brands from the training squad.

I have no problems wishing bad things upon my worst enemies, and this man is destroying my country. I want him to suffer. I want him to know the primal fear of struggling to breathe. And I want him gifted with lung damage, so that his movement has to be slowed to a crawl, and he can force out only a few words at a…

“To have a white woman ask a Black woman to write about their feelings and then, you know, the thought of it being for the consumption of readers and commodification of Black pain and Black trauma just seems very I don’t know, doesn’t sit right with me,” she told Jezebel.

Young, who was hired in 2013, came in hot—a “salesman” and an “ad guy,” and a “bull in a china shop,”

Ehhhhh, I don’t think Hermes hands out freebies. They are one of the very few true luxury brands still standing, and that kind of traditional luxe is built on exclusivity. You want a Kelly? You’ll probably have to return to the shop a couple of times before Hermes decides to allow you to buy one—and you won’t get a…

news media continually carry water for Trump

“Withered husks,” huh?

Yep, the ol’ “all these people have done me wrong, but you, you get me. You’re not like all the other girls. I know I can trust you, because you are better, you see through all the bullshit. Ah, if only I had met you earlier, how much pain might I have been spared!?”
