Considering Chechnya had declared independence from Russia and Russia unleashed bombs with casualties on both sides estimated at 50,000 to 100,00. That is very much a war. The point about Crimea is about Putin/Russia redrawing a border in our lifetime time. Crimea is very much part of this current war. Splitting hairs …

In general, one should take everything the DailyMail reports with a grain of salt. We need the full quote. The editorializing in the lead up to the quote about Europe cannot be trusted. Although his assertion is ahistorical and still very dumb. The Chechen wars, and take over of Crimea have happened in his lifetime.…

A bit of common sense all round is what was needed here. So the transaction was flagged, did they think to ask him to provide ID and temporarily remove his face coverings to provide the documentation for the transaction? Mr. Coogler is suffering from a case of high on his own hype here too. No one is interested in…

That was not at all my point. The point is people suffer medical complications for unavoidable and avoidable reasons. They are people with conditions inflicted from medical interventions not magazine freak attractions. People should know that cosmetic procedures are medical procedures that carry similar risks as what…

This could have been serious coverage of the cosmetic surgery/procedures industry. Instead she got the “botched” treatment. She looks great. Better than most women her age. Fat lumps in themselves do not “disfigure” you. Hard fat lumps that chafe and bleed will make you miserable. Instead of focusing on a medical…

The question is, what is going on/has gone on in Judge Adrian’s life to make him side with an attacker like this? Empathy is instinctively biased. It’s all about who’s shoes you can place yourself in. Why does this judge identify with the attacker so much? 

Nothing much. Except just how profitable black women’s bodies and features are when packaged in white, but very tanned skin.

The Peloton angle is a distraction honestly. And the headlines are misleading. To be clear, the allegations are rape. Period. The similarity in both accounts is striking. Horrifying read.

Yes but “Allegra” is a representation of adventure for a wealthy, over content middle aged man. Doesn’t matter what Jess King’s sexuality is. 

Lol of course. Leave it to Carrie to believe his third trip down the aisle with her was the one true love story.

He always treated her like shit. The great big love story ending was such a sham. I guess it’s comfort food for the true believers. In real life, Carrie is licking her wounds in the first wives club (technically second).  

“Obviously these two would never fuck”

Mid to late millenial woman here. The lack of perspective on Hillary from this age group in 2016 was so stupid and they have learned nothing with age.

You know she kills at a Robyn dance off.

She is the first woman in history to get close to sniffing distance of POTUS. Both of the speeches she prepared are relevant. Definitely relevant to how narrative on the rise of women to the highest office will be crafted (if we ever get there). It should have simply been released, not sold to Masterclass. But Hillary…

It’s not about blaming her. It’s about the instinct to avoid assigning any responsibility to her at all. Taking ownership of her part is not about blame. She is not responsible for the racist cops. She is not responsible for the narrative that primes women to believe in the big black male rapist, that hypersexualizes…

“Ms Sebold is now not only having to contend with the fact that she had a part to play in sending an innocent man to jail for nearly two decades.“

The premise that freshly traumatized 18 year old Ms Sebold manipulated by the racist police and racist justice system is valid. But for decades, she knew she was not sure. Yet, she let that discomfort go unexamined. She ignored the disturbance in her survivor narrative through her book deal and was prepared to see…

Without gun control and a cultural shift in the attitude to problem solving by guns, we are all doomed to watch mass shootings helplessly. Until Americans stop turning to guns everytime they feel angry, depressed, uncomfortable, afraid, hateful, persecuted, hangry or just low blood sugar. This is a uniquely American…

10) Democrats allowed sentiment for RBG stop them from making it clear to her that she had to step down. We got those cool memes though.
