A person can be a genius in one area and a complete and total idiot in others. History has shown us this time and again. Don’t idolize anyone, we all have feet of clay. Admire traits, qualities or works, disparately and distinctly.

Yeah, what you say is absolutely true. But...NOBODY does their job exactly as trained every time. I think the training complements the ‘how men think’ thing, wanting the freedom/authority to set one’s spirits free, and the concept of pulling one’s punches. The inability to modulate, adjust for the situation and the

Yeah, for the Moonves types, who are so accustomed to unlimited, unchecked white man power, the money truly ain’t the thang. It’s that someone DARED check him. That white people broke the Wypipo Covenant of letting a white man walk away on his own terms, without handcuffs, with his money bag secured. It’s the

Can’t be mad that JT carved out his post-boy band persona by surrounding himself with Black dudes! That he built his brand with a few Black producers giving him some R & B samples, Black choreographers showing him some dance moves, Black stylists dressing him and Black radio giving him airplay. He married his white

I am so sick of these neanderthals who don’t modulate themselves when it comes to children. Is a 200 lb football player growling at you from a wrestling stance? Physical takedown warranted. Off-the-floor body slam? No! Teen talking smart? Use your words. Teen walking away from you? No physical contact warranted, no

Hmmm, a do-nothing job for wealthy donors’ kids to get recommendations for college and jobs which despise Affirmative Action, huh? And you’re telling me the worse horror stories are being ignored, doing trivial tasks or having someone truthfully tell you that your ponytail looked lazily done?

“...regretful Trump voters are exactly the same. “I liked his ideas of doing terrible shit to brown people but I never expected it to affect me personally. I still like that’s he’s doing terrible shit to brown people, even children, but what's that you say, he’s hurting INSECTS or, don’t say it, don’t dare say he’s

I was in Spain for the first time this year and I can attest: every.single.person riding the trains and walking around in suburban Madrid, Barcelona and Toledo was impossibly gorgeous (like it was a conspiracy or something!). I think maaayyybbbbeeee one or two of the women didn’t have hourglass figures with small

You know what would go a long way toward intersectionality? If every white woman who ever claimed that she was a feminist or wore a pussy hat or marched on Washington or who simply regrets not supporting Black women against white supremacy and patriarchy EVER or...stay with me now...if every white woman who claimed

For the life of me, I can’t remember where I read about the first scientist guy sometime in the past 10-12 years. It was some great long-form journalism in a mag like Vanity Fair or NY mag (?) about one tenacious scientist being systematically blocked by a major Corp (and their lobbyists and our court system) from

I know. I was trying to allude to that without disparaging anyone in the family. I know they’re all intelligent folk but one short-sighted loud mouth with delusional thinking can persuade older folks, those not fully invested and people who are just tired. I've seen it happen in too many far less-educated and

I’m truly sorry for your loss. You should do a little preliminary research into a claim. It might make you feel empowered and help you fight your grief.

I am honored you would think to do so. Please copy and paste away!

Eh, this kind of statement has the whiff of “My name is Bennett and I ain’t in it” which is cover for all those laughing at the jokes and touches and come-ons and for the bystanders and enablers who know but do nothing.

Kato Kaelin! The living embodiment of ‘these hoes ain’t loyal’ and why you don’t invite unvetted people to picnics or to live with you for free!

It’s just Strategy: Mexico was never going to pay but he discovered he can’t raid Fort Knox (y’all know he had plans for that gold!) or the Treasury. He, and his backers, USE the wall that got him elected to further their schemes to fruition. Evil thinks, let him throw this tantrum, shut down the government...but this

Some out there didn’t know that impotence, erectile dysfunction and general sexual performance anxiety and issues were so prevalent in right-wing males that its female founder believed a devoted urologist would be a draw. Having previously worked with right-wing youth, Chrisy Lawton should be commended for seeing a nee

I used to belong to Amnesty International’s Freedom Writers. Be respectful of the titles (all leaders are egomaniacs), appeal to universal ideals most people aspire to espouse (even tho they obviously haven’t succeeded), ask for immediate but feasible action (don’t raise ire or prompt harm to the imprisoned by

Why speak at all if you’re not implying that 1) you believe your friend is innocent or 2) the other person is lying. Yes, I know, they are virtually the same. These types of ‘statements of friendship’ are half-assed attempts to call accusers hysterics and liars without explicitly doing so. These friends don’t find the

What happens when the next fascist administration defunds the National Park Service entirely?
