Tone is an aspect of style; style is a canon of rhetoric. Rhetoric can be critiqued. One’s subject position doesn’t make them immune to rhetorical critique.

“The suggestion that the only statements or criticisms worthy respect are the ones that are given nicely is probably the whitest thing I’ve ever heard.”

Um. Go fuck yourself.

Seriously! That is, to the letter, exactly what Nicki was doing!?!?

And it’s not anger like, “Guys, I’m frustrated about some things that are a bigger issue.”

I’m fucking red-head white and I have “anger issues” lets call Miley’s shit the stupidest thing you’ve ever heard rather than the whitest thing.

Unless you’re fishing for a vein for a ludicrously long time, you can cook a shot, do it, and clean everything up in less time that it takes to take a decent shit. Literally the biggest concern in doing a shot in a public washroom is whether someone hears you flicking the lighter, because it’s such a distinctive…

I’d believe it. I went to U of C and most of the faculty in my dept were assholes. :(

Amen. Forced kookiness or awkwardness or annoyingness is a slappable offense. Similar to what you said about her friends having a talk with her, I said this to a friend of mine (actually my ex husband, I don’t generally talk to my friends like this) recently about a long-term irritating behavior that he thinks is…

Yeah, at least I hope we do. I remember when they linked to the fappening here... From what I could tell a lot of people still blamed her, and not just MRAs. There were sanctimonious jerks of the “best way to avoid leaks? don’t take pics like that” on Jez too. But after that the vibe surrounding her shifted from the…

...and she had the world’s compassion after the photo leaks.

Wait . . . how did this story become about the university of califorina system?

What the fuck is in the water* in Chicago?

his parents pranked kara by birthing him.

My ex got a bad tattoo like this. I’m like “Why? Now that always has to be there. There’s no taking it off. Your right shoulder and bicep will always look like an ugly, dark image of Heath Ledger as the Dark Knight.” She was convinced it was a totally dope spur-of-the-moment idea. Until she discovered that it scares…

I know you find Schumer annoying but she legit did a skit satirizing this entire situation on her show (see below). They both can get a bit much with the whole self-effacing yet oddly self-aggrandizing thing but you gotta admit some of Schumer’s comedy is pretty on point. And it’s pretty funny that Schumer has done…

That is.... very odd. I wonder if that’s even true? I guess she probably has rich friends, but sex toys are usually expensive unless you’re buying really terrible ones.
I still like her but that’s weird. (Also this is why I don’t watch interviews with most celebrities, it usually makes me like them less. :( )

Yay, white women!

This is a perfect idea because they look alike and I generally avoid things they are in and/or write. Avoiding two birds with one stone, if you will.

Why do I get the feeling this union is going to produce a lot more misguided “jokes” about race a la Trainwreck?
