I just read the article on blood diamonds on Jezebel, went to Facebook and saw a post from my cousin with photos of the diamond ring she got from her husband for Valentine's day and then saw your post. I was still raging in my head about the blood diamonds and was very tempted to be the #2 kind of commenter.…

I... I have feels. My feels are this:

Why is it newsworthy that Beyonce doesn't feed her baby sugar (regularly) or Cheetos? She's TWO. I'd be concerned if she did.

The Beyonce food management is not at all surprising. Then again, I live in groovy hipster Portland (native!) where all parents harvest their children's food from organic, free-range, eco-sustainable sources. Rest in sauteed pieces, Colin.

The only thing of note is Matt McGorry's kissable lips.

I can't believe this is being criticised. It was absolutely beautiful, and very creative.

Who doesn't love observing Communist history (see lede picture as well) through rose-colored glasses?

Have to say Jezebel, getting real tired of your xenophobia. The first man in space was Russian and they made a reference to that. The US history has some pretty dark chapters, even recently, it doesn't stop you from celebrating your accomplishments. God knows you guys like to toot your own horn...

Dude. I watched this morning on the live feed and this opening ceremony was BEAUTIFUL! So much more interesting than London and less scary than China. Also, I realize that they were our enemies during the communist era, but that doesn't mean they can't reflect on some positive things like... having the first man in…

Thank you. This isn't the fault of the Russian people.

I don't see any rose-colored glasses on Gargarin. He was the first human in space and the program that put him up there should be celebrated.

Yes, this is a good rebuttal that dark skin is beautiful. However, these representations in the media and our culture are few and far between. That is the problem. For every Lupita and Alek there are hundreds of other media personalities that are light skinned Black and white that are upheld as the standard of…

Considering that I've seen that shit in too many beauty supply stores to count, it isn't exactly that far-fetched to come to her conclusion that African Americans are buying that shit as well. Whether they're buying more than Africans is debatable, but I do know that this self-loathing mess extends far beyond the…

The Philippines was hit by the strongest typhoon to make landfall (on record). That morning there was a 7.2-magnitude earthquake. There were floods and landslides. A tsunami is one of the few natural disasters that did not effect the Philippines on November 8, 2013.

I've linked this before on a Downton Abbey story, but for anyone who hasn't seen it, here is the amazing BBC Comic Relief 'Downton Abbey' skit from 2011, starring Simon Callow as Julian Fellowes and Jennifer Saunders as Maggie Smith, Kim Cattrall as Elizabeth McGovern, and Joanna Lumley bravely not minding that she's…

Wellesely women, it's time for some fun with this guy. He needs costumes, STAT! GET ON IT! He may need a dancing partner. Maybe a dinosaur? There is nothing that snooty art directors hate more than making fun of their art.

The post title is sarcasm, right?

No. It is not spot on. It's more sexist twaddle reaffirming negative stereotypes about men and women and love that we should not be celebrating.

I always tip 20% or more, but I really think we as a society need to abolish tipping and make restaurants actually pay their servers a living wage. (Minimum wage also needs to go up but that's another issue.) Increase the price of the food if necessary; it would not bother me. It's just not a fair or helpful system.

These books are terrible. The premise itself is bogus. "Oh noezzz she's brave AND selfless. She brushes her teeth AND likes color green! Divergent! Dangerous!" What the fuck? If you ignore the premise, you are still stuck with a boring heroine who excels at everything at abnormaly fast pace & lacks empathy for the…
