Ana joins Cenk for SCS. A Gawker reporter went after Wes Anderson’s girlfriend over her looks. Zendaya Coleman was also critiqued over her dreadlocks at the Academy Awards by E! Zendaya responded with a very well written letter to the E! host. Ashton Kutcher spoke out about how kissing a man like he had to will definitely let you know if you have gay tendencies. Alaska has become the 3rd state to legalize marijuana use, with some caveats, like no smoking weed in public. Apple is rolling out new racially diverse emojis that include Black, Latino, and Asian faces. An autistic boy’s birthday party was void of guests, leading his mother to write about her broken heart on a Facebook post. The post led the local police to bring a helicopter and emergency vehicles to celebrate the boy’s birthday party in a major way. Texas has decided to finally test the thousands of untested rape kits taken by rape victims. They have already uncovered 850 rapists that have run free to commit other crimes in the meantime. Followers of a church in Idaho are refusing medical healing for their kids, and rely on faith healing instead, causing 70% of these children to die as a result. Rep Christy Perry came out in support of the parents’ rights to allow their kids to die. Her points about the government getting out of the way of the parents’ choice is oddly similar to women’s reproduction rights that all Republicans are against.

  1. I watched that episode of fashion police. And definitely thought GR was referring to a dirty hippie with the patchouli oil/weed comment. She gets a pass in my book.

  3. lol ive always made the argument that if the devil is really so deceptive, sneaky and so damn tricky, its only obvious that the devil would actually be god and god would actually be the devil, thanks cenk for sharing the same thought with me.

  4. I disagree with them on the dread locks, associating rasta dreads with weed is like associating cowboys hats with whisky or beer drinkers, certain stereotypes are a little true lol

  6. Holy shit americans are behind the times with emojis and texting. Nobody else is still using this crap. Internet social media is just as convenient and cheaper than texting, and there is an infinity of fun, hi resolution “stickers”. I’m guessing big telecom is mind controlling you into still using text message to keep their income flowing…

    1. you can use emojis in text, in email, in Google hangouts, in every different form of communication available on your phone. When people say “text” they don’t necessarily mean SMS.
