THANK YOU. I’m a toll collector. That letter from the MTA employee made me tear up. I’m just trying to pay my god damn rent, ya know?

Even putting aside the fact that this is an insane and asinine thing to say, Gawker posts about Trump every 5 minutes!!!!!

Yes. I’m only allowed to complain about one thing per year, and this is my thing.

If, as Johnson says, we shouldn’t judge a performance on physical likeness, then why couldn’t Saldana have embodied Nina Simone without the cartoonish makeup?

Hopefully they can get him for distributing the picture to minors.

I kind of wish 100% of teachers would just go on strike for a month. Maybe then people will stop holding them to such impossible standards and learn to appreciate how they have to put up with other people’s shitty kids all day long.

Can I ask how you got to a stage where you have a dissertation question due tomorrow and you have no ideas? That doesn't bode well.

Now I’m thinking that even if this was the original intention, he may have changed his mind and is now running for real.

It’s ridiculously hard to get into politics as a grassroots campaign because of the big money involved here. That’s why it’s cool when Deray launched his campaign to be mayor of Baltimore like this but it helped so much that he has a recognizable name and the blue vest helps a lot. I remember an upstart Dem trying to…

I think it’s awesome that you are voting against your own interests and don’t even care!

The Weeknd low-key dying was the best part of this.

My boyfriend and I watched Parks and Rec together and we both really enjoyed it......but I 100% agree with you that it’s more likely to hit women in that deep place, and I speak about it with hyperbole more than he does.

I got into a mini-tiff with a co-worker/friend of mine about Parks and Rec recently. It came up in casual conversation and I said it was one of the best shows made and he was like “well I dunno about that!” I thought about it a while and after a few days told him I think it just means more to me because I’m a woman.…

Umm... Not more so than other women do? I was more referring to the apparent custom of handing out prizes/recognition/etc to dudes more often than equally-deserving women.

Seconded.

Maybe they were just trying to give girls a realistic look at what it’s like to be a woman in a STEM field. They did a pretty good job in that regard!

Yeah ok, you’re still not on the page I’m on here, I’m not calling them artists, I’m commenting on this form of expression. I’m saying I think it’s interesting this generation have adopted this kind of nihilistic absurdist expression as their calling card, I’m talking about how it’s risen amongst youth grown up in…

I don’t think you give enough credit to the younger generation? or perhaps you don’t know many (any?) creative young people? but that was not my point really, and I’m speaking in more general terms than this video in particular, I’m interested by the fact that this style of absurdist humour has become so embraced by…

I totally concur with other commenters side-eyeing all the, “Oh I must be so old, I don’t get it” comments. Like, really? Meme culture, especially more recent incarnations, is actually really interesting. It bums me out that people are so dismissive of it. I’ve seen it described as a new form of neo Dadaism and I…

Damn.
