I realize this is not actually the worst. The rapist killer guys are the worst. But, seriously, on a non-violent crime level, HE’S THE WORST. This...is so, so gross. I’m sorry, it’s more gross than the guys shilling for Gatorade, because I’m pretty sure those guys don’t claim it prevents concussions. I went and looked…

This whole thing is so awful, but I’ve been wondering why this one girl is getting her day in court. You KNOW she’s not the only recent victim; I bet she’s not the only victim that year.

Then I read on The Guardian that her dad is a big deal finance executive; I think for a hedge fund, no less. So that’s what it takes…

I’m going to be that person who points out that 1816 was the Regency period.

I have considered myself lucky, becoming a football fan while living in LA. There’s no team here, so I can root for whoever I want. I have developed a rooting interest in many different teams for many different reasons. I realize most fans would be appalled at my fan slut behavior. I don’t really care.

But now all (and…

Aren’t there also a lot of people being snookered into paying for grad school, too? I found out to my horror that my brother was — and my parents thought it was a GREAT idea. He went to do a one year masters to teach high school and the professors talked him into going for a Ph.D that he never finished. He’s in his…

If the people that are doing this are in the grip of a serious illness that has a mental component, what is the best way to address this? As a culture and public policy matter, what they’re doing is disgusting. But I’m assuming attacking them won’t help them. Doesn’t given them coverage like this only facilitate their…

Nope. No proof of actual cheating on Brady’s part, or Pat’s part, and if it mattered so much, the league should have had better processes in place, and used consistent measuring tools. They didn’t, which means some version of league management is incompetent and/or they don’t care because it doesn’t matter that much.

Ri…

The angry idiots are like 10% of the electorate. Demographics are such that the Democratic candidate should win going away, especially with this competition to show who’s more racist on the Republican side.

The only real caveat is that there may be Republicans who would come out in droves to vote AGAINST Hillary.…

Except Bill already smoothed the way for her by publicly saying his policies in the 90s made this worse. Now, he said it in a speech to rich white people, which probably feels safer and easier in some ways than being a few feet away from someone whose life you materially harmed in your drive for wealth and power. But…

Also, lying is hard. Some people are naturally good at it — like her husband. But she’s got to constantly remember the untrue things her strategists and pollsters have told her to say to the “little people” so she can achieve her rightful place. She has to regularly misrepresent her beliefs, real positions, and…

Yeah, but what she’s doing to avoid direct communication with voters is WAY more extensive than that.

The fact that he was a scholarship kid probably fueled his drive to succeed at this “game”. I wonder if he would have been a more decent guy if he hadn’t gone to St. Paul’s.

I’m assuming a) lots of girls are raped during this ridiculous ritual. b) If he came from money, he wouldn’t be on trial now; she’d have been paid…

“...does to her...” Does TO her?

I know, I’m being that annoying old feminist. But seriously, pro-tip: good sexing is not the man doing stuff TO the woman. Doing with, doing for, so many good kinds of “doing” were available.

Also, no expletives and no graphic visuals of sex and I’m not sure what you’ve got here. A…

That’s not remotely true. I toured St. Paul’s (and Exeter and Andover) with Miss Sky five years ago. She would have been starting at 13, so I was quite interested in dorm life and supervision. There was effectively none. Some teacher lives in an apartment somewhere either nearby or in an outerfacing apartment. I went…

I only made it partway through the first quote before recognizing that this is not writing should be deemed professional. I don’t care how “insider-y” Vanity Fair is — this reads like a Facebook post, and not even very literate by those standards.

“And yet you are crazy 365 days a year!” Jessica Day to Nick Miller (possibly slight paraphase, but still on point.

They’re such greedy amoral bastards, I’m not too worried about that. They’re going keep grabbing all the money until the rest of us stop them.

They won’t feel shame, but it may help educate more regular people and motivate them to work for real change.

We just disagree about that. Maybe it’s a gendered thing (not knowing anything about you; please pardon me if that’s totally off-base.) I find him attractive and charming, although limited as a performer. (But that’s true of lots of terrific actors.) Mr. Sky would probably align with you. Miss Sky agrees with me.

I really like him as an actor. He is literally the only thing I’m I’m excited about in the DCCU Snyderverse. Mr. Sky can’t stand him — can’t stand the “I’m so smart I don’t own a TV” stuff, which made Eisenberg’s “ComicCon is like genocide” comment particularly irksome for me, as it was clear evidence of, at the very…
