Russell Brand Destroys MSNBC Talk Show Host for Treating Him Like Shit

“Casual objectification” is an excellent term for not only what these people were doing to him, but for pretty much the entire institution of “celebrity.”

Also, Russell Brand is very funny. These people have no idea how to handle intelligent discourse blended with humor. They are speaking very different cultural languages. It’s a fascinating thing to watch.

As a journalist, I weep for (American) journalism.

As an intelligent person, I say thank you (again) Russell.

If a big part of your enjoyment of a thing on TV or movies is nitpicking it to death, that’s cool.

… but shitting all over the people who enjoyed the same thing without nitpicking it to death is really not cool.

““If we can’t write diversity into sci-fi, then what’s the point? You don’t create new worlds to give them all the same limits of the old ones.””

- Jane Espenson (from interview with Advocate.com)\

I dunno how many which ways this needs to be said

have u ever accidentally befriended someone who is very very irritating

So once in college this guy and I became friends with this girl and after a while both of us were like oh god what have we done, but each of us thought the other really liked her so we suffered in silence until the day we both finally spoke up.

…

OMG WHO?

doctor who meme | nine scenes (02) | crying Roman with a baby

RORY: She’s fine. Amy, she’s fine, I checked. She’s beautiful. Oh, God, I was going to be cool. I wanted to be cool, look at me.
AMY: You’re okay. Crying Roman with a baby, definitely cool. Come here, you.

I think I want Adam to dress as a Roman when I have the baby.

Oh god. This may be indicative of a larger issue…

My grandfather mentioned in passing his “great-uncles in barbados”

My mom: “oh the barbados uncles- they were the ones who had two families- an ireland family and an island family. If you ever meet any black [super-irish last name] they’re probably distant cousins.”

Uhhh… Shell?

WHY CAN’T STUFF LIKE THIS GO VIRAL? Morehouse Whiz Kid is Causing a Stir: 13-Year-Old Dominates College. LOVE THIS STORY PLEASE READ MORE…

PLEASE SHARE! SHARE! SHARE!!!!!!

At thirteen years of age, Stephen Stafford is causing quite a stir at Morehouse College. Stafford has a triple major in pre-med, math and computer science. Though he loves playing video games and playing his drum set, he is no typical teenager. He is exactly the kind of student I had in mind when I wrote the book, “Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about College,” because he shows the power of the black male mind when we put our energy into things that matter most. Over the 17-years I’ve spent teaching at the college level, I have never seen anything more impressive, nor more reflective of what black men represent.

“I’ve never taught a student as young as Stephen, and it’s been amazing,” said computer science professor Sonya Dennis. “He’s motivating other students to do better and makes them want to step up their game.”

Stafford began his college career at the age of 11, after being home-schooled by his mother. Stafford’s mother said that when Stafford began to teach her instead of being taught by her, she knew he needed to be in a college environment. Since that time, he has excelled in his classes and continues to grow intellectually.

Officially jealous of a 13-year-old boy. Kudos, kid.

Members of Congress are living off food stamps for a week to protest Republican cuts. It’s a challenge for them, but GOP cuts would hurt millions of everyday Americans.

Why does this not have more publicity. This needs it!

This. This is exactly how you respond.

This is similar to how I respond. To how I am responding. I will respond.

(I don’t want to respond)

There’s no right way. There’s no right time. No right place.

(Because it’s just not right. Because it’s all wrong.)
