Wait, what is he even saying or implying? I’m confused :/

 

I believe he's putting the onus on people of color for getting killed by police, instead of looking at the police and their inherently racist system as the reason.

 

Harvey Weinstein Accused of Raping “Approximately” 17-Year-Old Girl

 

Approximately?

 

This is so disappointing.

Woody Allen says he hasn't "suffered at all" professionally in new interview

Here's the full interview about it: 'Do I really care?' Woody Allen comes out fighting

I don’t really see why this is in here.

 

yeah deleted wasn't sure I know we had posted in here about them swinging

 

did middleditch not emotionally abuse a former partner that was posted about either in here or the comedy thread? seems potentially related

 

yeah he seemingly pressured an ex into getting implants and defended Aziz

 

then i, at least, am down with bringing some attention to him

i haven’t felt a desire to check out the netflix specials and have felt weird about him on comedy bang bang since his ex made that ig post about it

 

Don Lemon calls out celebrities for 'sitting in your mansions and doing nothing' amid protests

 

I highly recommend you all go rewatch the Kylie Jenner Pepsi ad. I promise it’s far weirder than you probably remember

 

Thread: The Ringer Union is advocating for a more inclusive writing staff and group of podcast speakers

 

seems like it’s a response to russillo praising simmons’ “diverse” hirings, which doesn’t seem to be something based in reality

 

Russillo may be an idiot, but at least he never has anything interesting to say.

 

I actively choose not listen to Simmon’s podcast nor do I follow Ryan Russillo so I’ll look into it.

Simmons is not my favorite person but I really think the staff is great for the most part so I hope they make changes in the future to be more inclusive.

 

That was truly insane. A masterclass of bad takes by him on that pod

 

I like the Ringer, mostly, but why they invested so much in Russillo is honestly baffling. He’s not charismatic, insightful, or funny, and I think he’s a generally shitty guy!

 

literally one POC writer for the two major sports that the site covers.

they have POC writers/pod personalities for pop culture/"political" pods, but that's so unacceptable, man

 

Yeah I exclusively listen to Group Chat/Heat Check for NBA. I can’t stand listening to KOC and Vernon talk but of course they’re the only ones that have done NBA pods for The Ringer since the league was paused.
