I wish you were right, but I’m afraid my Blue Lives Matter white hillbilly relatives have indeed lost their damn minds about Beyoncé. Because Breitbart told them to, basically.

It’s all well and good to express doubt about this being the white reaction to the song. But by claiming that “most white people have no opinion on this song,” you’re doing the same thing you accuse others of doing, i.e. speaking for a giant group of people whose views you really don’t know. Maybe you should stop to…

That was more of a comment toward those who say that “rap isn’t art” or try to get all high and mighty about what “music” really is. It infuriates me and reeks of classicism, elitism, and racism. So glad that isn’t Jez.

This is absolutely, 100%, mind-blowingly amazing. And for those who say that this isn’t an art form, holy wow. I’m speechless.

Can black artists just please continue to lay the politics on thick? I would just love it if every major performance post Formation is just like ‘and you thouhght Beyoncé at the Super Bowl was intense?’.

More of that right wing cherry pick.

Anything they DON’T like - meant to be banned. Anything they DO like - was somehow implied out of thin air.

Uh... White male actors and black female actors occupy different social positions, so society treating them differently is not a double standard in any meaningful way. This is like arguing that it’s a double standard that children can’t vote but adults can. I am going to go out on a limb here... You’re not a…

That’s the joke. It’s funny specifically because it is a self-aware subversion of a misogynistic (and, one could argue, racist) standard. And because Colin Jost is in on the joke. It would not be funny if she was making real, unscripted overtures that surprised Jost and made him uncomfortable.

True, though people might think you’re referring to the character in Peanuts.

Jost breaks on enough of them that I wonder if she’s got a list to choose from during dress rehearsal, that way it’s a surprise when they go live.

I don't watch snl anymore so I have not seen this Colin host fellow before but he is adorabbbbbble. I want to have sexuals with him too.

I think “you refreshing peppermint patty” is going in my book of stuff to say abroad since they won’t know I stole it.

I’m glad to see the school is taking it seriously and not sweeping it under the rug but I’m not surprised. I was raped at a frat when I was a Cornell student back in 2008 and while it was obviously an awful and traumatic experience, the school did everything they could to help me. They worked with the local pd with me…

Also, cite your sources that aren’t Fox News. I think this is way overblown and some old dudes are outraged that young women in particular expect literature and media with themes of sexual assault to be treated seriously and not just brushed off.

It’s pretty common for rape and sexual assault survivors to have PTSD, although it often goes away with time. And it’s not like women tend to get assaulted at college or anything.

I hate white dudes going on about how trigger warnings are to prevent you from hearing something you might disagree with. It’s to give people with PTSD a heads up that the material they’re about to read or see contains language or imagery that might be triggering. Don’t be cavalier and dismissive, John Waters.

Best NYC/celebrity moment: Running into John Waters outside the building where they were casting Cry Baby: The Musical and him assuming I was auditioning based on my Betty Page bangs. #epiccompliment

As if New Hampshire didn’t relish the limelight...you have a goddamn constitutional amendment that requires you be the first primary. NH and Iowa, once every 4 years America looks at them for a couple of weeks before forgetting they exist again.

labeled with either an H or a T. This proved highly agitating to the reporters in the room, one of whom muttered, “I do want it if it’s turkey, but I don’t want it if it’s tuna!”

The way Hae’s life and death were treated by the podcast and its fans remains bizarre to me. Whether or not you think Adnan is guilty, this girl is still dead and that death is still a tragedy.
