It's a dig a Jezebel, and a pretty good one at that. And the reaction is probably what she was hoping for. Well played.

I kind of loved it, but why do girls need to play with different construction toys than boys do?

Israel has always been a bit strange with regards to basketball. Why, back in the 80s, they didn't even like Jordan.

At least she's consistent, unlike the conservative multitudes who are anti-choice and pro-death penalty. I can maybe, kind of, sort of, respect that position.

yup. There's a time and a place for this sort of thing, and it sure isn't after a close friend asks you to do the thing (my stepmother lost a really good friend this way, incidentally)

Is anyone else kind of sick of the unconditional love Jezebel has for Beyonce? She terrifies people at Bergdorf's because she routinely gets them fired? That is a downright bitch move. But noooo, Beyonce, the "Queen" or whatever. Bleh.

I agree, but they also threw beer cans!!

What is this, like a Mormon naughtiness bracket?

There's nothing transphobic in the tweet, IMO, but Colbert has been criticized for transphobic humor. (Humor I haven't noticed since his interview with Janet Mock so maybe she did some educating before the interview.)

So, if he ate a ding dong on set, would that be transphobic? Kinda reaching here.

Dawson is the moon!

And, as someone else pointed out, personal appearance isn't just a luxury. Looking neat and tidy can be a big part of getting a better job or earning a promotion.

Working 16 hour shifts.... all week.....for days on end
LET THE WOMAN HAVE A NICE HAIRCUT WITHOUT RIDICULE!

Huh. I thought this was going to be about all the people who are miserably slogging through this final season, just trying to fight it out 'til the end.

I think it'd be easy to criticize the school but, in fairness, I think we all remember that bit in the bible when Jesus, dying on the cross, says "One last thing before I go, remember to be complete and total dicks to innocent little kids whenever you have the chance. Peace out, losers."

You should do what my dad did and supplement your kid's education with information that isn't blatantly racist and sexist. I would come home from second grade talking about Thomas Jefferson and my dad would be like, "I bet they didn't teach you about how he fucked his slaves." Plus I bet you'd learn some cool stuff…

Stalin, Hitler and Pol Pot weren't exactly role models either, but I'd expect a decent history curriculum to mention them.

Well, and Jesus.

I had this conversation with my students when I showed them the first episode (after explaining that one doesn't "believe" in science because it's a fact that exists whether you "believe" it or not).
