While I agree (and it would be a little more understandable if this was just some random black kid IRL who decided he liked that sweatshirt), this still isn’t the sort of thing you’d want to take a chance with online; put the black kid in literally any other of the sweatshirts, and use a white kid (or really, just NOT…

Counterpoint: this country has a history of violence towards African Americans and you need to be sensistive to such realities. Sorry if in your white bubble something as racist as calling a black child a monkey is okay to you

He gets ice cream.

Christian Laettner is probably like “Whew, finally someone else from Duke who might get a little more hate than me.”

I forgot who said it, but one of the wisest things I’ve read or heard was that the Trump administration is House of Cards with the cast of Veep. Hell, nobody’s ever seen Spicey and Mike in the same room, have they?

Looks like that ass...

Is that like, an opinion someone could have? That’s literally insane. That’s like saying it’s ok to burn down buildings since we have firefighters to put the fires out for us.

Oh for fucks sake! He sounds like cartman.

I hope I never get too old to turn the other cheek.

At some point Sarah became an actual adult and Im digging it.

Many of her films are dated but Ninotchka is wonderful!

Stuff like that makes me think we need a 100% estate tax.

One of the shittier things in the shitty shitty tax bill is that charitable donations will only be a nice little tax earner if you’re dumping six figures on a sparkly row of bricks in the Plutocrat Piazza or some other bit. Kimmy Schmidt’s stuff on NYC rich-bastard charity is spot on. (One of the few things about the…

I work at a large not-for-profit museum in my city. visitors have to pay $18 to get in, and there are a number of special exhibits that cost $12 each. it’s prohibitive for families who aren’t rich and it makes me sick. yet the president makes over a million dollars a year. at a non-profit institution. my guess is that…

This person gets it. I’ve worked with some very high up people there, and forgive me for being vague because I don’t feel like accidentally doxxing myself, but the Met is example A1 of “of the rich, by the rich, for the rich.”

I’m going to be Captain Obvious here- there are lots of people who don’t spend hundreds of dollars to see pop stars, or video games, or even food. The Met has been free because as an institution (with help from the government and donors) they decided that even people who can’t shell out to see Taylor Swift should…

This is actually part of why The Met is fucked in the position it’s in. A lot of donors stipulate where their money goes and quite often it’s to something glamorous and beautiful that lets posh folks show off rather than to basic maintenance, so their budget is apparently a mess.

All I have to add is that if you’re in the Chicago area and want a free museum, the National Museum of Mexican Art is absolutely beautiful and in a good food neighborhood.

Also, apparently, they spent $65 million on those fountains outside the Met. Based on the Met’s estimates, those fountains could have paid for tourists’ fees for about a decade.

The Met is run for the benefit of its superrich donors, for whom ostentatious “charity” is a way to stroke their egos by slapping their names across things of genuine value. They include the Sackler family that made kajillions from pushing OxyContin across America:
