I’m concerned he was on national TV.

For those of you concerned that Giuliani was bleeding on national television

He already poisoned politics for the next decade. Americans still don’t realize how bad this is.

I read this and thought, “What’s so bad about PieBrain?”

But I figured it out. 

If anything, calling her a deceitful traitor is a better jab - speaks to her poor character which is more of an insult than being a woman who has sex.

My friend was in a similar situation but instead of using misogynistic language, she used racist language to disparage her exes new girlfriend. Using misogynistic language perpetuates misogyny in a broader societal context, the horribleness of the person you are aiming your insults at is not relevant.

I don’t think the optics of political persecution will matter to the feds or the IRS.

My understanding is gendered insults are bad because they weaponize existing inequalities, not because you cannot criticize another woman. I can hate and curse out Ivanka all I want without needing to say ‘she’s bad AND she’s a woman’. Just leave the second part out, it doesn’t add anything.

She is acting in a role where she has to wear a wig (see her Instagram post from 10/28/2020).  The wig needs to fit to her head tightly and braiding your hair close to your head is one of the best ways to do that.

Why let that stop them. Trump would encourage them to vote and then go out for lunch.

Shannon, I respectfully disagree. There is no wrong way to vote if you are doing it legally, and I for one applaud those women for doing that. Have any RHOWHEREVER done something like that?

That’s not a silly bit and she’s not joking.

Holy Goddamn. She starts out at mid-playoff intensity, and actually picks up speed from there. Watching that was transcendent, and I wish she qualified for some sort of genius grant that let her spend a year a year or two just writing and delivering sacred demolitions like this one to the deserving.

Im also confused! Like, if I see someone dumping boxes of kraft dinner in the ocean like a crazed Exxox Valdiz incarnate, but I can’t or won’t do that, am I a dolphin? If my brother eats a plate of unpasteurized cheese at a dinner party, despite his known lactose intolerance, and then takes an uncontrolled dump on the…

As someone who has worked in environments like Disney/ABC, I can definitely understand it. What people don’t understand is that working in that kind of corporate environment is basically like having to endure thousands of papercuts every day, only to shut up and do it the next. At some point, you get so sick and tired…

I wonder who’s eating all the ammo...

“Oh, election simulation!” —Jeffrey Toobin

Did this tool increase their access to high profile projects?..... because I suspect it was more than fear of mispronounced names that kept them from consideration...

This is one of the many moral/ethical lessons I learned as a kid watching Star Trek. In an episode of TNG, Dr.Pulaski mispronounced Commander Data’s name as Dah-ta instead of Day-ta. When he corrected her, she asked “What’s the difference?” and he replied simply “One is my name, the other is not.” 30 years later and…
