A List Of Things Longer Than Anthony "The Situation" Scaramucci's Term As White House Communications Director
1. The seventeen furious pumps of fury Lawrence gave Issa during their break-up “sex” on Insecure 2. The rumored text (“Congratulations, I’ll pray for our child”) Anthony Scaramucci sent his soon to be ex-wife when their child was born last week and he was out tanning with Donald Trump instead of in the delivery room (Apparently there’s…

Four Reasons Why Melanin Illustrated Is The Blackest And Best Thing That Ever Happened This Week
1. Because I keep trying to find ways to articulate the myriad shades of beautiful and banging-ass brown found in this photo shoot — done in Costa Rica by 28 members of the Florida A&M chapter of Delta Sigma Theta, where they celebrated the 10 year anniversary of them crossing in 2007 — and I…

Why Are The Men Of The White House So Obsessed With Each Other's Dicks?
Yesterday afternoon, I read a thorough and illuminating piece from Morgan Jerkins at The New Republic, where she articulated how Trump’s presidency is hurting the book publishing industry. Her premise — and this is one several agents, authors, and editors agree with — was that the news coming out of Washington has been so bizarre…

So Maybe John McCain Found Some Courage In Between A Couch Cushion
Earlier this week, I wrote that by receiving government-funded health care to deal with his terminal brain cancer, and returning to D.C. to vote for a measure that would snatch benefits away from millions of people, John McCain — whose entire career is built on a maverick/hero narrative — exhibited a level of cowardice unique…

Five Perfectly Logical And Understandable Reasons Why Kyrie Irving Would Want Out Of Cleveland
Perhaps you might have heard that Kyrie Irving asked to be traded from the Cleveland Cavaliers. And that he apparently made this request as early as last year, soon after the Cavs won the championship.

Donald Trump Is Just A White Man Allowed And Encouraged To Be As White As He Wants To Be
Even when considering the torrential stream of bullshit that drips and sprays and drips and sprays and drips and sprays from Donald Trump’s mouth, his tweets today calling for a ban of transgender people from the military were remarkable. Because there’s no fucking way he believes that even the dumbest of his supporters believe a word of his…

Coward With Terminal Brain Cancer Jumps Out Of Government-Funded Death Bed To Kill Other Sick People
The line of Republican cowards attempting to curry favor with Donald Trump stretches out the door, around the building, down the block, through the next door overflow room, and extends up to space, where it circles around the moon like Dr Manhattan. There’s sniveling turdface Ted Cruz, who, among other things, listened to Trump call his wife…

The Problem With #TeamLawrence, Explained
Who is Lawrence? Lawrence Walker is a character from Insecure, an HBO show which derives from Issa Rae’s The Mis-Adventures of Awkward Black Girl web series. In season one, the unemployed and then underemployed Lawrence (Jay Ellis) was Issa’s live-in boyfriend — a relationship that lasted for (I think) four years. After growing frustrated with…

I Saw Girls Trip In A Theater With Like 17 Million Black Women There And Now I Have Thoughts About That Experience!
1. It was the first time I went to a pitch black movie theater — while wearing some nice jeans and some really fresh sneakers, if I say so myself — and somehow felt underdressed. I felt like I was wearing house party clothes to a day party. 2. While at a mall a few…

Tiffany Haddish Said "What Had Happened Was" During Her Will And Jada Swamp Trip Story And Now I'm In Love
According to Clover Hope, Aisha Harris, and other people I trust, Girls Trip is apparently the raunchy and randy comedy we didn’t know we were waiting for and wanted until it was here. (Basically, it’s the iPad of comedies.) And this makes me happy and shit, as it apparently 1) proves (again) that Malcolm Lee is Hollywood’s most underrated…
