I’m Scared to Death I Won’t Be Able to Protect My 2-Year-Old Daughter From Her Own Country
Full disclosure: The headline is a lie. My daughter isn’t actually 2 years old yet. She’ll be 2 next month. But I remember, before she was born, making fun of parents who’d tell you their child’s age in months instead of years. And then I became one of those parents. So today, this is me…

Eric Weinstein’s Twitter bio says he’s the managing director for Thiel Capital.

Meet Tyrese: R&B Singer, Actor and Dumbass Misogynist
Years ago, before becoming famous, Tyrese was singing the praises of Coca-Cola on the back of a bus. Nowadays, he’s not only in the Fast and the Furious movies, but he also uses his platform to slut-shame women.

French Montana Gets Dragged for Calling Black Woman ‘Dusty Rusty Ass Hoe’ With Nappy Hair
French Montana, who by all means could be considered a horrible rapper who has a fondness for appropriation and dating culture-vulture white women, apparently spends time on Twitter searching for his name.

Chris Brown Refuses to Stop Acting Like Light, Bright Ike Turner
If Sinbad and Ike Turner had a child of great talent and potential who would ultimately squander both because of his issues with anger and maybe some matters that recall the D.A.R.E. program, he’d look and aggressively dance a lot like Chris Brown. Brown is the R&B equivalent of the kin you’ve rooted for but…
