You don't have to hide behind a burner, Laurence Olivier.

"Tragic clown retirement home party" is all I can think of.

I call acting. You KNOW that Julia Roberts curses like a drunken sailor. She's still trying to be America's Sweetheart, even though nobody's buying it. I bet she called three people cunts just on the way from the green room to that stage.

Yeah, and Hitler loved dogs. Now what?

When children, teens and young adults do amazing things, I always think, "Wow. There is hope for the future." And when people from older generations, like Retired U.S. Army Col. Johnson, do amazing things, I always think, "I guess there was hope for us all along."

"Modern-day history. Civil-rights movement." Nominal-phrase-only predication. Irritation factor.

This commenter is the worst/strangest/most amazing creature. "Damn I don't like u but my heart goes out too u but Saturday night hope u lose." Anti-choice, anti-Mayweather, anti-grammar, anti-spelling. ANTI-EVERYTHING.

you know what? fuck you on that last part. there is nothing delicious or amazing about this fucking drug.

really, Franco?

She looks like she's giving birth and it's boring her.

Tone arguments. What he's been talking about has been going on for decades, it's been going on for the entirety of the black experience in America, we have been calling attention to it for centuries and people simply don't care until you get one example like this where we can all wave our finger, and when people say…

I am pretty much in love how your slow breakdown in civility to responses in trying to repeatedly defend/restate your point is analogous to your problem with Bomani's delivery in the first place.

I was of the same opinion as Derbel-McDillet and then I read this entire comment thread and thought how fucked up it was that the paramount thought in my mind and that of Derbel is how his tone made us — two white people — feel. Cause everything — simply every god damn thing ever said about anything — has to be about…

Exactly. There is a time and a place for making all nicely-nicely while pointing out something that's horribly wrong... and this isn't it. If you've been pointing it out till you're blue in the face for years & years, and people are just noticing it now, you get the license to yell TOLD YOU SO and CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?

He made the point politely years ago. And nobody noticed. It made it onto Deadspin and other places not just because it was so damn right but because it was so damn angry and exasperated. Bomani's entire point is that people NEED to be more angry about Sterling's other transgressions. If you take from this piece, "Oh,…

I don't think it's helpful to the situation to distract from his message by pointing out what you perceive to be flaws in his delivery. This happens every. single. time. someone who has every reason to be angry expresses that anger. Someone who ultimately agrees with them puts aside that agreement to scold them for…

In a question like that, you can simply make common denominators and then the answer is obvious. That's probably what they would expect at a 4th grade level. I agree it's ideal to already introduce the idea that inverse operations will cancel out terms, but usually in 4th grade they'd just like them to solve "by…

Yea, in his tweets about being a good parent Louis is showing he is a shitty parent in regards to education. Telling his daughter, "I don't like the problem therefore fuck it" is an incredibly stupid lesson.

Yeah, I didn't see these math problems as out of line. In fact I did similar problems at that age and that was 25 years ago. It seemed fairly obvious to me what they were trying to get the kids to understand. Maybe the problem is that a lot of parents have terrible basic math skills?

I am not a fan of Common Core, but I actually dont see an issue with these questions. At this point in 3rd grade, kids have been doing multiplication for several weeks, if not months. The first question is asking them to recognize that each of the numbers they'll need to represent are multiples of three, so rather…
