So how many people are old enough to remember the torture of recording your answering machine greeting, and then playing it back to see if was usable, and thinking “That’s not how I sound, is it? Oh god, how am I just going all over the world talking to people with this stupid voice with these terrible mannerisms and…

Eh. Sounds about white. Very white male. Let a woman do this let alone a person color and people would talk about how unprofessional they were being. Driver could have just as easily removed his headphones for 20 seconds so that he didn’t have to hear the clip and then resumed or proceeded with the interview. I’d be…

It really irritates me that Rebecca left out the part where the Fresh Air producer said that they let Driver know in advance when the clip was coming up, prompted him to remove his headphones, and had the producer in New York (where Driver’s part of the conversation was recorded- Terry Gross records in Philadelphia)…

Eh, to quote Samuel L. Jackson, “If you can’t watch it, why should someone pay $13.50?”

I’m surprised they allowed the brunette in.  Seems pretty pretty reckless to allow a non-blonde into the scene here.

Women in Saudi Arabia can’t drive? I’d never know that if the GOP didn’t constantly point that out.

Juianne Hough is the same woman that was thoroughly criticized for doing blackface a few years ago, so I’m not shocked that she lacks any semblance of solidarity.

“It’s just unfortunately, which is why I didn’t know exactly when I should come back to YouTube, but the reason for that is just because I’m legally not allowed to speak on anything going on right now.”

The Democrats can’t do anything unless they get elected. And not just the White House, because if the GOP still controls the Senate after the 2020 election, Moscow Mitch will block every bill and every judicial nomination that comes along from a Democratic president and Democratic House. From someone living in the…

How do you write this blog without the rest of his quote? I mean, he literally says we should push for something greater, he’s just asking those with privilege to consider what they are asking those without privilege to risk in that push.

How is that an issue that she had a particularly strong opinion about a particular book that was under consideration?

Of course young women are allowed to dislike books “written for them.” (Although it’s worth noting that intended audience is a marketing concern, not a literary one. Most of us can get something out of most books, regardless of whether or not we’re the intended audience, and thank god for that. Reading books you’re…

I would have more sympathy for the viewpoint that the “student” (she’s actually an alumna now) in question was looking for intellectually challenging books if the other Common Read books were actual Man Booker prize winners. But they’re not. We’re talking about stuff like Ready Player One here. The singling-out of…

Look, this is why this shit is a big deal. YA novels aren’t some kind of frivolous bullshit that isn’t worth reading because they aren’t The Great American Novel. If you’re at a university to challenge yourself academically, the Common Read isn’t the only place you can do that, and telling everyone that you joined a…

Why the fuuuuuck do people still support this monster?

As if it could get worse, T.I. also readily admitted that he knows his 15 year old son started having sex last year and doesn’t have any issue with it. I’m guessing he also reminds his son that “those sluts” are fine for now, but make sure you find a respectable woman to date. 

Men like him are deeply paranoid about his daughter meeting the 20 year old version of himself.

T.I. is very concerned about his daughter’s hymen. He’s so concerned that he recently told a podcast that he goes to the gynecologist every year to have the doctor “check” her hymen.

That is absolutely just fucking gross. 

This probably won’t be a popular opinion, but I think it’s in poor taste to out someone in death if they didn’t want to be out in life.
