If anything, Cosby is distinguished from the majority of black men in this country because he could depend on the powers that be for support and protection.

As I understand it, she is one of the accusers who has been talking about this for many, many years, including seeking to testify in support of the plaintiff in the big lawsuit that Bill Cosby settled years ago. Also, if I'm not mistaken, she wasn't an attorney at the time of the attack. (Interestingly, she's not…

I agree with everyone saying this bride hasn't really thought this through. She's pretty much guaranteeing that all eyes are going to be on the bridesmaids holding the corgis, and not on the bride.

I could watch that first one — the two puppies falling in unison like tiny, furry synchronized swimmers — over and over and over. And that butt wiggle in the fourth one. Over and over.

I agree with you that the story was out there. I do think the point is that she was one of the few people who would call it out, even if only through jokes like this. I'm not getting the impression, at all, that these articles (or the comments) are focusing on her having "discovered" this information on her own.

This entire thread — every single narwhal-related comment in this thread — is a total joy. Every single post is awesome (except maybe the ones by that really sad person who cannot recognize happiness or funniness and lives a very dark, sad, boring life), and I'm having this weird sensation of actively liking almost…

I like this post so much.

I am so torn right now. On the one hand, I am giddy with delight that you responded to me, because I adore your posts.

Although I obsess about many things (some good, some not), for some reason I have never given more than a moment of thought to narwhals. And now I'm so happy to have something new to be excited about (sort of the way I love elephants, and LeVar Burton, and that cat who attacked the dog that attacked the boy, and…

EDITED: I posted this as a response to you, and then I didn't see it pop up. So I thought I had messed up, and tried posting it again (this time as a response to Adultosaur). And now it's here twice, and I'm embarrassed.

I'm giving you a star because I am tired too, and sad and angry, and your user name made me happy for a moment.

This is a really intelligent and useful response, in a situation where a lot of people (well, at least me) are just spinning with impotent rage and disappointment and grief. I'm reading your post over and over, because these are concrete steps that everyone can take, and I want to remember all of this. (I'm not…

Me too. Every single part of this.

I saw some articles mentioning that Tina Fey took some digs at Bill Cosby during the American Museum of Natural History gala a couple of weeks ago, but I haven't found anything what she actually said about him. (Which seemed odd, because jokes she told about other people and other topics were specifically quoted or…

Your post is really thoughtful, and I agree with a lot of it. There was one discrete point that I wanted to respond to, because it's something I think about a lot — the idea that if you run from the police you deserve to be shot. (I apologize if I'm misconstruing what you said.)

I have nothing to add to this — just wanted to say this is a perfect comment.

I'm almost as offended by this Communications Director's horrible grammar as I am by the offensive stupidity of her comments. I mean, my 7-year-old kid (who still occasionally puts her pants on backwards) writes more correctly than this idiot does.

My friend gave me Janice Dickinson's autobiography years ago, and at first I was embarrassed to be seen reading it on the subway. But it actually was weirdly good and compelling. I do remember being a little surprised at how she seemed so much more crazy on reality TV than in the book. But I always assumed that was…

I don't know her, but I know someone who does, and her description of Janice Dickinson is exactly in line with yours. My friend says Janice is awesome — really smart and honest and surprisingly kind.

Well, according to the NY Times, symptoms "usually occur within eight to 10 days of infection." So, considering he was a healthcare professional who had been treating patients with Ebola, that sounds about right.
