Monique, you are one of my favorite writers here, and I recognize from your writing that you are grieving through this too, but here comes the but.

I’m still waiting for new articles showing why Bill Cosby and R Kelly are actually the victims of white supremacy, which obviously caused them to do what they did.  

WORD. Talk about click-bait.  

I’m not getting the “Jussie won” angle.  Johnson lost, but he lost a completely different fight.  

Somewhere Smollett is cackling away over a glass of Sauvignon Blanc.

Wtf does this have to do with jussie's lying ass, and how has he won exactly? 

It looked like some kind of, I don’t know, fire drill perhaps?

Yeah, I really don't expect your average (or goat) basketball player to be able to say anything intelligent about China. But it is pretty fucking obvious the NBA is ignoring human rights violations because they have dollar signs in their eyes. Pretty fucking simple. 

Western cancel culture rhetorically has been co-opted by an authoritarian regime so seamlessly that you’d assume this would be a big wake up call to wokescolds. It’s not, though, because they do not possess the capacity for self-reflection. 

I did fully read it and maybe my argument does suck, so my apologies. My main intent was to defend Ellen for defending her own ethos of kindness, because generally speaking I think we need more of that, but now it seems like I’m defending the actions of President Bush - probably my least favorite person of my entire…

She tried to. Many of the women wouldn’t comment. There was of course the one woman who accused him of looking at her wrong. She’s one of the 7. 

I know I’m coming to the wrong place to say this, but I agree that he was pushed out too early and not given due process. However at the time that didn’t matter. If the #MeToo recoking hadn’t started months before this would have been a Friday news dump issue, forgotten in the weeks after. But it wasn’t and at the…

Sorry, the way he was treated was bullshit. He should regret resigning.

Also, isn't that a bit of an unfair criticism of a 30 year old film.  Wishing the ending of a film was different *then* because you're sick of rom-co.s *now*.

More likely there were a bunch of skeptics who ordered it and while eating the real meat burgers, thinking they were the Impossible burger, they were saying, “Yuk! This is terrible! It tastes nothing like the real thing!”

Pictured are the three women who placed behind Semenya at the Diamond League last week:

While I’m not a huge fan of watching people get hit in the nuts myself, I’m also not a fan of when people state that they’ve never seen any part of a show, but then assert that anyone who liked it is a bad person. The people who liked watching the show didn’t like watching people get hurt, they liked watching people…

Do you like Carly Rae Jepsen? Her early work was a little too folky for my tastes, but when “Kiss” came out in ‘12, I think she really came into her own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. She’s…

It's super hip to hate AB.  And Sam knows from hip - he spent the first five years of his life in Manhattan.
