Woody Allen has repeatedly written young, beautiful women falling in love with much older men. It grosses me out.

Good for her, I suppose. I think the crux of this issue is that someone deemed this a festival for women/non-binary/trans artists without clearing that with the artists first.

Absolutely. I know people who are awful to their parents, but I never considered it in that light until those people were also adults. Then, they’re awful. Before then, they’re kids being fucking kids, who are by definition dumb and mostly out of their own control. I 100% believe OP’s parents but also acknowledge that…

The silence thing is good. I’d like to encourage my son to say something no one has said or isn’t instantly obvious. Contribute something new and help move the conversation forward while giving others the chance to talk.

Joe Scarborough. That Guy in every women’s studies class who has to interrupt and say some version of, “If more women used birth control, the abortion rate would go down!” over and over again.

That’s interesting. I wonder, how awful can a person as young as she would have been preparing for the Olympics be to a parent and still get to the level at which she competed?

“Let me finish,” he says, cutting her off. “Because we need to have this conversation.”

That woman’s not going to marry him. She’s already got the chin down gazing into the distance WTF look on her face I didn’t develop till Year 3. She still has time to get out.

Oh god, and fucking hate the smug filmmaker trope of “did you enjoy the gratuitous and cheerfully-scored violence we spent thousands of hours and millions of dollars to show you? Well, surprise, YOURE THE REAL MONSTER FOR WATCHING IT !”

Not gonna lie: 45's rise to prominence/election has made me completely re-evaluate how I use the p-word (read: I don’t anymore), and how I respond when other men do.

Nope. This is a whole lot of bullshit. You know how many coal mining jobs exist in America? About 50,000. That’s it. For the entire country.

“When the department first began tracking HIV cases in 2001”

It’s not ageist. The fact is, there is significant degeneration in processing speed, memory, and other neurological functions as we get older. This is why you can’t renew your driver’s license past age 85 without retaking the test. Some people stay sharp, and many more do not.

Honey I wouldn’t feel guilty. Yes it’s an awful situation for your uncle, but it sounds like it opened your Dads eyes. I just wouldn’t talk about it again unless it is brought up by him. Sometimes you got to say ugly shit for people to really listen.

I felt bad about something today.

I grabbed a girl’s butt once... her friend punched me in the face. No matter how much alcohol, never made that mistake again.

Matt himself delighted in sharing on WWHL the hilarious and very professional story of how he was ogling a big boobed young woman performing on Today with Vince Gill’s band. Seeing Gill also looking at the woman, Matt assuming sleazeball solidarity, sidles up to Gill and says, “Are those things real?!?” To which Gill…

Mmmmmmmmhmmmmm.
