Cops in America are encouraged to shoot first and mmmaaaybe ask questions later. Then plant a weapon on your corpse.

I never expected my generation of left leaning people to become basically identical to neo conservatives in terms of their understanding and rhetoric of international relations, history, and other nation’s sovereignty. Now the Chinese are racist and saber rattling. We live in the country directly responsible for the…

She’s living a dream that they could never and she’s doing it while being unashamedly non-white

I guess no one told Frankel that the Royal Family employs speech coaches so they don’t sound like, I don't know, grating auctioneers with volume control problems. You know who else had speech coaches? Michelle Obama.

Thank you for this not being a slideshow!  

Minivans are the greatest idea Detroit ever had. I’ve driven five Mopar minivans past 250,000 miles. My favorite vehicle of all time was a 1993 SWB Caravan with 2.5 liter and 5-speed manual. It drove like a car, hauled like a truck, averaged 29.5 mpg overall, and was easier to parallel park than a sedan. My present…

So they just...assumed the worst without checking?

They don’t even do that, they create their narrative to fit their ideology and then just report it. That’s it. No fact checking, no journalistic integrity, just the mouth of Sauron over there

As a photographer, the header photo isn’t terrible. It’s not great either.

It’s because politics are an unavoidable part of every single aspect of modern society and to act like it’s anything less is the height of privilege. It must be nice to just not have to think critically about the whole underlying subtext of poverty and explotation of the poor by the rich, and just chalk it up to…

How exactly is someone supposed to be considered a primo photographer and be completely incapable of lighting up the person they’re photographing?

It’s not fucking lit up enough to actually see the face of the Black woman who is supposed to be the subject of the picture. How the hell is a picture “just fine” if the subject of it is so engulfed in shadow that you can’t actually see her?

Just okay isn’t acceptable. This isn’t some random’s photo reel; this is a highly paid and respected photographer for a glamour magazine known for its photographs making the same mistakes she has made over and over.

That’s absurd. He’d be wearing a mask so that nobody would know he owns a Hoobastank CD.

The owner is one Gennady Ayvazyan, a Russian coal trader (and probably a douchebag).

People who own yachts did not achieve success honestly.
