theviraltruth:

Donald Rumsfeld has said that the narrative of the Benghazi attack being related to a YouTube video rather conveniently fit into the narrative the Obama administration had hoped it would. That gave Stewart something to go on: “Rumsfeld is German for promoting a narrative because it fits your hopes and what you want to be the case,” Stewart explained. And Cheney, who’s been talking cover-up, is not allowed to use the “L word,” Stewart said. (The “L word” being or relating to lies.)

“History didn’t start Friday and Obama administration transgressions don’t wipe away yours which are many und grevious,” Stewart said. “So enjoy watching your friends have their fun, but Tweedle Dick and Tweedle Rum don’t get to join the party.” It’s like how Mike Tyson doesn’t get to make fun of someone’s tattoo, Stewart concluded.

OH GOD. TweedleDick and TweedleRum.

When I was little I thought being an adult meant not having a bed time but I’ve come to realize that it just means being in charge of my own bed time and it turns out that I am not equipped to handle that responsibility.

Wow, that’s a brave move for any woman, but especially so when you’ve been making a living in a world like Hollywood that champions idealized bodies over health and wellness.

I know people tend to get overly invested in the personal lives of celebrities, but maybe prominent public figures making these sorts of decisions will help people realize the “save boobies” approach to breast cancer awareness is super gross and dehumanizing, and puts the emphasis on an expendable piece of tissue rather than the person it’s attached to.

I am one more person who’s learned a lot about cancer screening and gene testing thanks to this!

Always here of Angelina.

EVERYTHING LOVE QUOTES

There are some really shitty things about being a man. You are 100% right on that. You are held up to unreasonable expectations about your body and your career and your ability/desire to conform to traditional modes of masculinity (just like women are with traditional femininity), and that is absolutely oppressive. There are radical feminists and deeply wounded women and women who just don't have the patience for diplomacy anymore who absolutely hate you because of your gender. (However, for whatever it's worth, I do not personally know a single woman like that.) That is an unpleasant situation to be in—especially when you also feel like you're being blamed for the seemingly distant problems of people you've never met and towards whom you feel no particular animus. The difference is, though, that the radfem community on Tumblr does not currently hold the reins of power in every country on earth (even in nations with female heads of state, the political and economic power structures are still dominated by men). You do, abstractly. No, you don't have the ability or the responsibility to fix those imbalances single-handedly, but refusing to acknowledge that power structure is a slap in the face to people actively disadvantaged by it every day of their lives. You might not benefit from patriarchy in any measurable way—on an individual level your life might actually be much, much worse than mine—but the fact is that certain disadvantages are absent from your experience (and, likely, invisible to you) because of your gender.

I think it’s imperative that we acknowledge how this excerpt also applies to racism: to refuse to acknowledge the power imbalance that exists in favor of whites is a slap in the face to every PoC who is disadvantaged by that imbalance every single day.

“But life doesn’t have to be additionally unfair because of imposed systems of disenfranchisement that only affect certain groups. We can fight against that.”

Dear NCIS writers,

As a tiva shipper from the very beginning, this deceitful bait-and-switch bullshit you’re doing with tiva is SO FUCKING OLD. A one-trick pony that does such a disservice to the depth and talent of the cast.

Asshats, the whole lot of you.

Let’s wish a very happy “Seis de Mayo” to all the Mexican brothers and sisters who worked in kitchens and bars last night and witnessed way too many sombreros, ponchos, fake mustaches and other bastardizations of their culture.

Relevant.
