Firstly, no one here has tried to silence anyone. It's a comments section, so no one even has that power. No one here knows who's a person of color and who isn't, either. We're all faceless strangers to each other. I don't know you or anything about your life, and vice versa.
If you're going to say things like " she

What's her personal involvement been?

Why are you assuming she doesn't care about prisoner rights, or that I don't? The joke about "lol Rikers was relaxing" only works if the baseline expectation is that prison is terrible.
Secondly, "I don't believe either of us actually think she's doing important work on her show"—speak for yourself.
Thirdly, of

I think it's fascinating that you think Samantha Bee is a bigot because her husband may or may not oppose their kids school moving a mile+ away, and all the pieces she's done with Syrian refugees, low-income health and services programs, reproductive justice etc don't count for anything. But somehow Bernie Sanders

So she told a jokey anecdote that didn't land with you, and that's what it takes to get to "she's a super-shitty person."? To be a "super-shitty person" I expect someone to actually hurt someone, not make a single joke that at worst can be described as overprivileged.

This thread was the first I'd heard of it, so thanks to you and a couple other people for bringing it up. I'm glad NYC is at least doing something to combat the endless push toward income and racial segregation in schools. (My city has been doing the opposite for a decade+ now.) That said, I've read up a bunch on PS

Why do you think Samantha Bee fears and hates black and brown people? I've never heard her say a word to that effect, and her hiring practices seem antithetical to that.

Source for Bee's love of segregation? The only thing I've heard is that her husband asked other parents at a school council meeting not to talk to the press. There are plenty of non-class, non-race related reasons to oppose moving PS 452, not least that it'll balloon everyone's commutes and not solve the

Oh please. She never said anything of the sort. If you actually listened to her full quote she was obviously talking about how nice it was to be disconnected from her phone. "It’s funny. I went to Rikers [Island, New York City’s main jail] a couple of weeks ago to shoot something that I think will be really good. It

I made fun of how jumbled up CatCo seemed to be, but now that Teen Vogue is doing hard hitting journalism, their mix of news and fashion actually seems plausible. Up is down! Cats and dogs living together!

Farah was able to hurt Bart because Bart was going against the flow of the universe by attacking Dirk. Bart is invincible so long as she's doing what the universe wants to happen. But in the moment she attacked Dirk, the universe wanted Dirk alive more than it wanted Bart unhurt.

All this, but also, when you're teary, blue eyes really do look more blue. I've noticed this with myself and, even more dramatically, James McAvoy.

That annoyed me so much! Sherlock KNOWS that "Mary" isn't her real or former name, so gasping her name out just gives AJ a new piece of information. And then to give AJ his own full name and declare that he's her friend? He basically drew a map of how to find her. It was so dumb.

That is a perfect idea! Like the best of Emily Gilmore's plots, it could be both a power play and a mark of respect to Richard.

Emily got a smaller version (the size she'd originally intended) of Richard's portrait and brought it with her to her new house. I don't remember anyone specifying what happened to the huge version.
