Davis’ fault is writing something racist, and then lashing out when she was called out on that racism.

“...(change) the homophobic, racist white supremacy on which our nation and the publishing industry is based...it doesn’t happen if we’re too fucking nice.”

You need to work on your reading comprehension. Also, maybe read up on some of the other sources about the controversy.

When the book is racist, yes.

Old and white here. I wanted to crawl under the desk when I came to the realization that they choose the side of a silly bitch that “immersed herself” in Chinese culture over a person of Chinese ethnicity.

“immersed herself into the Chinese culture for six years before she even began to write the aforementioned novel.”

Can I ask what exactly happens at a 3 day wedding party/retreat?

As if reading any other run-of-the-mill fiction genre is necessarily “better” or more “high-minded”

Both of these ingredients have their uses. I am never going to make aioli with garlic powder, but for a spice rub I am on board.

We get Cuisine magazine and it’s been fab for the past three years! The only ones we don’t use are the summer editions because apparently all anybody does in summer is GRILL so the recipes are all for grilled shit.

Both the powder and fresh have their place and it’s dumb to argue otherwise (you YOURSELF prove this point with your cucumber recipe, der).

But can I also just say- we recently started getting the Bon Appetit magazine at my partner’s request because he likes their YouTube stuff and boy, does it suck so hard. Every…

Yes, let’s waste a bunch of plastic along to go along with our laziness. FTW!!!

I mean, they’re young and flexible and don’t need three damn weeks to recover from muscle pulls, they think all this fancy hoo-ha is fun or whatever, go ahead girls, knock yourselves out while you can still think of sex, to quote Bill Bryson, as something other than a welcome excuse to lie down.

Or this season’s version, “we’re best friends!”

Someone save Maggie Lawson.

7th graders are not interested at all in this beef. I am so happy to be ignorant of the details and able to sit this one out. I am quite sure another kerfluffle will come along to take its place, but it won’t be this kerfluffle.

The “ARod with his phone on the toilet” headline went exactly where I thought it would go as soon as I read it.
Holy crap thats awful.  How in the hell do you take a picture of someone in the bathroom and think “This is fine.” ?

I fucking LOVE Jenny’s analysis.

This comment should be at the top. Jenny Trout is performing an invaluable service for those of us who’re curious about James’ latest trainwreck but have no intention of buying said trainwreck.

J Love is so fucking charming and has the most lovely face, it doesn’t matter if she’s no Daniel Day Lewis. I watched every single episode of Ghost Whisperer (yay Cam Manheim, still pissed they killed the hot husband) and damn if she doesn’t sell it with everything she has.
