Ha! Joke, right?

Well, thanks! Agree re Rikers. Also, footnote for Julianne, although I have no expertise in the matter — but I doubt that’s coke they’re freebasing?

(*SPOILER ALERT!)I loved the show and hated the show, because it was good enough to disappoint me when it failed. I loved Naz and the mystery of his guilt or innocence, and it was maybe the best work John Turturro (such a ham, usually) has done. Michael K Williams underplayed brilliantly. I know some people found…

I dunno, I loved it. Loved the phrasing of the a capella song (not easy in front of that crowd).

I think this is an overstatement. But still, as a woman far from her 20s, or 30s (or 40s!), I will say that the concept of “defined consent” is relatively new (the ‘say it out loud’ concept of it, not consent itself). For awhile there was the “No means no” meme, but girls/women were not really encouraged to declare…

Call me crazy, but I think a lot of his appeal was that he was so damn good looking. People were willing to look past his Dr. Oz-type persona. He seemed empathic (and maybe he was) but couple that with his handsome-ness and voila, TV doctor personality gone wild.

This is fucking beautiful. I’m actually jealous I didn’t write it myself. (#notthepoint)

Agree! Eyebrows on point. Score: 10 10 10 10 10 10 10.

Hahahaha! Thanks for this.

I had this weird experience at the National Gallery in DC about two years ago. I’m an adult, well groomed, not an obvious doofus in any way. It was a hot day and I was carrying a water bottle in my purse, as you do. As I was looking at the Picassos I took a drink from the bottle. A guard stormed over to me, in an…

I feel I want to say that she is too old to ‘not know what feminism is.’ We of her approximate decade know EXACTLY what feminism is. I always liked her but this is bullshit.

All of this is true. But I also have problems with Hillary’s delivery and I’m front-line feminist from the olden days. It may be because I’ve had vocal training, and speech habits grate, but I’ve been saying for months that she needs a better vocal coach. Television magnifies speech habits, and hers do not do her…

This article explains why Joanna has seemed derisive about Bernie supporters tho. :(

Seriously?

Me. I lived in NYC for about 6 years and was so traumatized by it that I read whatever I can by other survivors. It’s like a weird obsession with an abusive relationship. I love visiting the city but living in it can be a horror. I’m genuinely fascinated by people who have managed to live there for 20 or 30 years (the…

Or in your lobby! Welcome to the 80s!

I was a Bernie supporter, now a Hillary supporter, whether I like it or not. I don’t understand Rothkopf’s derision re Bernie supporters, as if we/they are all a bunch of hick doofus bros with weed stuck in our nostrils. We/some-of-they are not stupid, and probably more politically educated than Rothkopf, tbh. PS-…

Starred cuz same.

Good lord, will you please do some more reading before you make pronouncements like this?

That is such a true description of him. I think I always felt that about him when I’d watch his slightly odd behavior but never put it into words. Thanks for that!
