"Richardson had made unwelcome advances on"

So in other words he admitted Richardson sexually harasses models, he just doesn't think he gets away with it. Well, that's a ringing character endorsement if ever I heard one.

That doesn't make any sense... Why would he think his reputation as a sexual predator was overblown because certain models didn't put up with his predatory behaviour? I don't get the logic there. He's admitting he behaves like this but thinks it's overblown because he's what... his tactics are not effective enough to…

see also the "well *I* wouldn't stand for it" argument. well yeah, that's why he didn't target you. that's how he's gotten away with it so long. he chooses people whom he can most easily victimize.

Yeah I hate when these types of examples are given as an excuse. Well if some women did shut him down, how many didn't? And if they have heard about the occasions where he tried it and didn't get away with it, isn't that just proof that he tries it? Thus he is that bad.

That part is so gross — it feels like a tacit acknowledgement of (and a very lame pseudo-apology for) the fact that he never once asked for consent.

Technically (and this is from the girl who went shopping before her first-year chem final and failed it, though I still blame it on the mini stroke), when both ethylene glycol and ethanol are present in the body, ethanol will get priority of metabolism, stopping the formation of the metabolites of antifreeze, which…

Can I add to the squee? I'm needing some squee tonight. I got to hang out with this puppy tonight at Austin Pets Alive.

Has everyone seen Puppy vs. Lime?

these must be the end times because I never thought i'd be seeing a dental dam for a phone :-(

Yep, I too come from a "You know I have a ton of cousins, and they will hunt you down, right?" family.

There are plenty of available jawbones at CPAC this week.

I meant to respond to someone who posted a picture of a "rescue weiner" but I'm glad I responded to you instead because I feel super appreciated!

This cat was having a bad day as well.

I've read some accounts of women who escaped Gothard following families, and a lot of them talked about how his teachings place all responsibility for purity on women/girls. The typical, "if a man has impure thoughts about a girl or woman, she must have done something to provoke those thoughts" rhetoric, to a really…

On it!

Aaaaand, another. Because I'm obsessed.

I'm baffled anyone thinks Janeway/Seven would have been a good idea. Any romance would have completely ruined their mother/daughter relationship, which the series spent quite a bit of time building upon. A relationship between them would have had a creepy power imbalance.
