How is it hypocritical? Walk me through it, Hester. Actually, don’t as it be your customary rudeness.

You didn’t. Answer this:

This entire diatribe is why you’re part of the problem. You did nothing to address my points.

Your statement is fucked up on so many levels.

But there’s plenty of ongoing outrage on Brett Kavanaugh. And we know he’s attacked THREE different women.

As of the *first 50 minutes* the Busy Phillips has been posted: there has been TEN comments already. Whereas this article sat for over an 1.5 to 2 hours without ANY comments.

I do hope its due to a sabbatical. HOWEVER, there does seem to be notable lack of comments on posts here that focus on WOC. It’s maddening.

Regardless to whether she’s spoken about this before, she should still be lauded. Are you suggesting that I shouldn’t have bothered solely because she has spoken out before? Because that’s...messed up.

That’s awful she went through this. I applaud her coming forward.

Oh yeah, there’s a whole subsection of people who absolutely believe that Beyoncé (and Jay-Z by association) is part of a global Illuminati group. Lady Gaga is also allegedly a member.

My bad. I misunderstood your intent! :)

“Beyond the Lights” is a really good movie. It makes me so mad that it didn’t get the attention it should have. Gugu Mbatha-Raw should be a mega star by now

But if that’s the case, it would be even more of a reason to not use the current wording in the headline. Especially as is, it could be (incorrectly) interpreted as critical of the diversity issue.

Perhaps I’m incorrect with the following take, but the use of ‘gratuitous’ implies that Whitfield disagrees with Emmy recognition being more diverse - when the exact opposite is the case. When reading her quote in context, I actually completely agree with her.

I agree. Gandolfini’s character was the very opposite of pitiable. That was the whole point of the latter part of the movie. His character was upset over the duplicity of Louis-Dreyfus’ character. ESPECIALLY as he did like her so much. He’s far from being pitiable: that’s someone who knows his self-worth.

I’m torn. On one hand it’s gross that she seemed coerced. But her delivery in this part is (to me) humorous and makes her seem relatable. Does anyone else get what I mean?

Regardless of gender or age, we should be focusing on replacing any and every Dem who still insists on the overly polite, ‘discreet’ manner of opposition.

Yeah, the behavior of both Thomas and Samantha definitely crosses the boundary of ‘attention seeking’ or ‘embittered’ into some type of pathology.

I completely understand your point, but I think MOAR’s explanation (in this thread) is the most likely reason for its wide-ranging usage.

I’m so sorry this happened to you. As other commenters have mentioned, please remember to not be hard on yourself. From your post, it’s obvious you loved your kitten and I have no doubt she was able to luxuriate in that.
