Nah, this is not the take. You are sounding like one of those idiots who pops up on every tape of police brutality and saying, “Why didn’t they just comply with the officer.” Airbnb Kate had a racist conclusion and was just in search of a reason. 

I don’t know. I fail to see how angering a celebrity with the resources to do some damage would be in the photographer’s interest. Couple that with the fact that we are in an era where private pics of this kind and their release are reviled. And where there is a movement supporting women speaking out about their…

You don’t really know what the photographer’s policies regarding storage are. Also the photographs may have been stolen back then and are only just now being released. 

Your dissertation committee may not always catch errors depending on the way you constitute your committee and also depending on the resources that are available at the institution and also department specific policies. Reviewers at a journal however, close read papers for those kinds of inconsistencies. It is why…

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.

Listening to his queens orders doesn’t fly. Jon should not have been punished for killing her and its such a cop out for him to be and lines up with my problems with Jamie’s status as kingslayer... literally NO ONE should be punished for murdering a mass murderer even if they are a king/queen.

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…

Some things don’t need to be made into live action movies.

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.”
