She would have been served by publishing one or two papers based on her central thesis in peer-reviewed journals before using the book as a means of fleshing out her thoughts. It would have saved her all this headache, because academics, specifically historians reviewing the articles would have caught this error.

The same way they become Christians or Muslims or even political parties in some cases. All of those kinds of institutions tend to pull at the same set of psychosocial strings.

I have a question. Is James Charles obligated to support all of Tati Westbrook’s business ventures because of their friendship? Is he not allowed to make money even if his investments are competing with Westbrook’s. I mean Lebron James doesn’t throw public fits because Dwayne Wade does not endorse his Nike brand.

Followed the link and frankly, I am disappointed. The article is certainly interesting and raises some good points about the way American society views serial killers. But then it links to the author’s book. The book unfortunately appears to capitalize on the very same tropes the author criticizes, describing her…

I disagree with the author’s assertion. I sincerely doubt any candidate, particularly if they are white and male, will be able to speak to issues of race, in a vociferous and nuanced voice. Even Barack Obama, a black man very cognizant of the black experience in America, struggled to articulate his perspectives on…

People are just going to back to pirating their favorite TV shows. It is not possible for all of us to buy access to all the different streaming platforms. So people will stick to the platform they prefer, likely to be Netflix because of age and brand recognition and their original content is descent and pirate other…

Why does Biden have to apologize for Anita Hill and what will he be apologizing for? I keep seeing this brought up as if Biden single handedly constructed the sociocultural atmosphere that culminated in that incident. Biden at the time was a reflection of what the country believed and the way the country reacted.…

It is because you are thinking of it in terms of hard cash. Kylie does not have a billion in cash, in a vault somewhere, gathered from selling lip gloss. The company which she allegedly heads up is valued at a billion. That is if they were to sell shares today, the value of the shares would equal a billion. However,…

I don’t have breasts and yet I feel invested in this argument for some reason. 

I think the bigger news here is that politics has become part of TMZ coverage. I relish the day when when TMZ ambushes politicians as they leave their DC offices and homes (Actually, I dont).

I recently listened to The Bechdel Cast’s episode on this film. Perhaps, they’ll give Rochelle’s character some depth this time around.

I actually don’t find myself minding at all, the fact that his daughter was admitted to a school to which he had previously donated tens of millions. I was able to attend a good University and get a solid education in part because of people like him who had given money and resources to ensure that students were well…

The Dirt Treats Its Women Characters Like Trash

“Since then, we have decided as parents to consult with our pediatrician and just let him educate us and guide us. But, unlike before, I have learned my lesson and I am choosing not to make our decision public.”

Perhaps the network is hoping to generate internet memes or appeal to a non-traditional audience. Take James Corden for example; the guy has the sing along to a celebrity singing in a car demographic. They could also be hoping to breathe some new life into the concept of late night television. For example, I am thinkin…

Why is there so much Bernie Sanders hate? If your favorite candidate is as good as you believe them to be then, they will undoubtedly be able to weather a Sanders storm. And if they are not, then perhaps you should not want them in the general election. Also, the arguments about Bernie not being a Democrat are not…

I mean, if you can’t trust the person who you are intimate with on the regular, who can you trust?

Or the person being trafficked is not aware that they are being trafficked. 

This is the problem with teaching people to “recognize trafficking”. Trafficking in no way looks like the movies. Very rarely is it going to be an upset girl/boy (or person wearing a haunted look) who does not look like they belong. In many cases of trafficking the people travel voluntarily to a specific place and…

It doesn’t make it less disturbing. We are allowed to be disgusted and repulsed by his acknowledgement of those dark impulses.
