Wow. I’ll let the investigation play out but there sure is an awful lot of smoke around this scummy, lowlife piece of shit. And by smoke I mean assault cases.

Okay. Then that stupid pile of shit did it.

How many times does this guy have to show us who he is before he gets the prison cell he so richly deserves?

That's because it IS victim blaming, sweaty. "Why didn't she scream?" "Why didn't she fight and scratch?" That’s the same as saying "why did she wear those clothes" or "Why did she have a drink before that meet and greet" and you know it.

Lots of smoke around this guy....weird.  

I’ve only seen clips but I’m surprised this made it to HBO. They’ve always aired explicit content, but it’s not usually this...cheesy. It’s giving Showtime or Cinemax.

Absolutely. It’s all style and no substance.

JKRowling is a TERF

This. Which is why the AP is right. I don’t think they give a shit if people use the word on Twitter or informally but in professional contexts, it’s probably better - and far more accurate - to stick to transphobe.

TERF may be shorter, but it is not a good way to sum up when you’re writing a news article because most people don’t know what it means. That’s why AP is saying to avoid it—because it doesn’t help create clarity in your story. If someone has to navigate away from your story to Google what a TERF is, you’ve failed in…

The issue I take with it is that “TERF” has just come to mean “transphobe” without any radical feminism necessary. Someone advocating a return to traditional gender roles who thinks that trans women aren’t women because women should be pregnant as often as possible isn’t a “TERF”, they’re just a bigot.

Yes. One of the AP Stylebook’s main tenets from the get-go has been to avoid jargon, and TERF is definitely jargon, and worse, it is jargon that the vast majority of people do not understand. Only very, very online people know what a TERF is. It is better to explain who these people are in plain language. This is…

Open letter to Jezebel for yet again failing to deep dive:

I like Pedro Pascal, but the whole internet thirst for him has gotten extremely tiresome. 

It is so effective. I ask my Trumper parents, after they spew out their bullshit, if they really believe what they just said. It stops them in their tracks.

More of this please. Republican fascists deserve all the courtesy they give to the marginalized people they attack and bully. In other words none.

For real. Even if the three men wanted to hog the writing credit, they could at least have SHOWED the script to a living, breathing woman rather than their AI girlfriend or Real Doll. The latter two, by the way, had no problem with it.

I guess this is slightly better than the Confederacy/slavery forever series that HBO had planned post-GOT, but not by much.   

If you tell people that the “Euphoria” guy made a new show with the sex/risqué elements turned way up compared to “Euphoria,” such that it’s being criticized for being too sexual or outright trashy, and that it stars Johnny Depp’s daughter and the Weeknd... I’m pretty sure you’re going to have a lot of people tuning…
