Disagree. If she used her whiteness to get this one single cop fired or sued the department for civil rights violations, it would do nothing to change the system of policing as a whole, which is inherently racist. For the police to have credibility, the so-called good cops need to hold shit cops accountable and…

Remember all of those stories from Before Trump about ICE officers deporting native-born Americans because they could not be bothered to check their identities or even speak to them?

Who wants to become a researcher, no one photographs them.

Eh, vanity projects don’t need sympathy or respect. It’s cute when a little kid does it, not so much an adult.

I just read the wiki entry for her. She couldn’t fail at life if she became brain dead. The queen of England looks at this kid and gets jealous of her lineage.

If ever there was an example of the kind of song that embodies “that girl at a friend’s party who INSISTS you turn the really good mix off so she can sing with some basic bro who for some reason brought a guitar and while she does you’re standing nursing one continuously long sip because you’re so uncomfortable with…

Yeah makes me sad for Dean because he’s a phenomenal actor and if they had cast a better actress in the role I think more people would have gone to see this movie. Instead they got a model and Rihanna.

I think Besson was trying to get another Milla because she was a model first but you can’t cast on looks alone.

Are there even any newish “grew up poor” celebrities out there?

And now the lack of concern about the safety regulations makes sense. :(

12 deaths now confirmed. Firefighters have now been able to access all floors of the building and say they do not expect to find anyone else alive. I dread to think how many people died trapped, and I hope they passed out and died of smoke inhalation.

This is public housing isn’t it?

I live about 1.5 miles away from the tower, and could see the smoke from my street this morning. So scary, I can’t stop thinking about how terrified these poor people must have been. Some witnesses were being interviewed on the BBC this morning and they said it initially looked like the fire might be controllable, but…

Horrible. Making matters worse Grenfell Tower is publicly subsidized housing that prioritizes low-income and disabled residents.

Factory-farmed milk is fucking bullshit, you guys. I mean, yeah, it’s bad for the environment and cruel to the cows and all that, but the milk tastes terrible. A few years back I had a couple gallons in a row that tasted really funky, and I couldn’t figure out why - they were fine on the expiration date. And they…

This isn’t a concert likely populated with adults, apart from parents. This is something schoolchildren will be going to see, young teenagers. It’s monstrous.

Given the artist, the potential for the victims to be YOUNG is very... well, it’s not a good feeling...

It’s not a matter of can or can’t. As a gay man, I don’t want my penis within danger zone distance of a vagina, and I don’t know a gay man who does.

Call me cynical, but yeah. I tend to suspect a lot of people self-identifying as non binary are tourists. Bowie wannabes.

Do you honestly not see how sex-assignations at birth, with all their disparities of physical strength, are relevant to rape?

You have so much more faith in the average GOP voter than I do.
