They don’t make ‘em like that anymore...

Also, Carroll O’Connor was an engaged liberal whose best activism was playing Archie Bunker.

Short slips with straps = camisoles. I mean, really.

Now that someone has said it, I am here to agree. I threw the book across the room. His loathing for female characters was palpable. Hated it. Hated it.

Yeah, but centipedes are, for the most part, pretty avoidable in most parts of the world. They don’t attack in swarms, they don’t carry ALL KINDS OF DISEASES, they don’t whine annoyingly while you’re trying to sleep. I’ve seen big centipedes closer than is preferable, I’m not a fan, and I still prefer them over…

That’s probably what locked their lips: Maple syrup and sticky buns.

“the two were spotted ‘locking lips’ over breakfast at West Village hot spot Sant Ambroeus.”

It’s a good thing we like ourselves so much, because there’s not much objective reason to like us if you’re another species. Not really. We’re about as likeable as mosquitoes (which, by the way, are worse than centipedes. What did a centipede ever do to you? And a mosquito? Thought so.).

Well, the Wedding Aisle Solution sounds like a decent Attempt at Compromise between Traditional and Modern.

“(DiCaprio) is taking a pay cut to work with Quentin Tarantino again on Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. That’s the movie about the Manson murders, where Leo and Brad Pitt will be playing Sharon Tate’s neighbors.”

You’re entitled to your opinion. I invite you to do some reading on this site and elsewhere on white privilege, and to try and keep an open mind. One of the defining characteristics of being privileged (by gender, race, etc.) is that you don’t know what implicit privilege really is, and that you think it has something…

Dude, no one here ever said Farrow or other white men (or women for that matter) don’t have a right to write about these topics. That’s something you have projected on to this conversation. No one here has said Farrow hasn’t done great work. What we said is that it’s typical that so many other people have been trying…
