I’m still waiting for the CDC to issue warnings to all men over 40 who are sexually active on the dangers of producing a child with autism or other health problems.

Still mad about the CDC’s warning to child-bearing aged women. The warning should be to all women trying to conceive. It should not be a given that we’re going to have children. It should be a given that no one will have an unplanned pregnancy in this day and age when it should be so easy for most women to obtain…

That’s what I mean by boring/ordinary. She seems a lovely person but there’s no uncommon traits or hobbies to her outside being an actress.

It was like reading an old puff-piece profile by Louella Parsons, only rather than describing the luxurious preparations for a dinner party being hosted at Katherine Hepburn’s palatial estate, it’s about sexual aggression and powerlessness. “Thurman, who spreads her frame along a sloping velvet couch, tosses empty…

It’s not the belief I’m taking issue with (though it is certainly outside my belief system), it’s that it’s a bloody parenthetical in this piece about Weinstein being a monster and Tarantino being a monster in a different way. It was such a bizarre, jarring choice to chuck that tidbit into brackets.

Sounds bad. Is there a connection between Tarantino’s treatment with the stunt and Weinstein’s actions or are they separate? From this post about it I cant tell if Thurman is saying what tarantino did is similar/related to Weinstein or just him being a shitty person making bad choices while director.

No doubt, this is more a reflection of Maureen Dowd’s poor writing, but I found the piece very confusing, with details that were jarring and unnecessary (her father thinks she’s a reincarnated buddhist goddess?), and lack of other details that would have been helpful. Like, Weinstein is a fucking monster, we know…

Hmm. There’s a lot about how McGowan is approaching this entire thing (Weinstein, her book, her show) that I would do differently. There’s a lot of anger there and a lot of overly-emotional stream of consciousness bilge. She tends to lash out in a super reactionary way to anyone she senses is attacking her, whether…

Not fighting with you, but with all due respect, I can think in at least one scenario where that “mother” should totally have ever kept that kid: she gets the help she needs - and its an obligation of the State to provide! -, hopefuly recovers, and go on becoming a good mother. You call it “insanity”, I call it…

So it was more than a little bit jarring to hear no mention of the plight of the woman—who remains on the streets without a lifeline—and instead see journalists and politicians praise the selflessness of the couple,

Trump and the GOP’s dismantling of the ACA, resulting in the loss of Medicaid expansion, cuts more than a million people off from access to drug addiction treatment programs.

And people wonder why BLM protested police presence at the Pride parade, and why Pride Toronto banned cops from marching in uniform.

Thank you!

“if one demands an echo chamber during this phase of their life, how will they function later?”

Except the doll collection is more diverse.

I hope this shit gets smashed over and over and over again. The school’s attempt to sanitize the situation and turn it into some optimistic bullshit is disgusting. Women don’t need to be memorialized, worshipped, turned into super heroes or pillars of strength they need to not be fucking raped, beaten or killed. Fuck…

So an injoke in the FBI, likely a mocking reference to Trump and co’s insane paranoia, is now being used by the paranoid as proof of a conspiracy?

On the up side, another big volcanic eruption will cool the atmosphere again, just as the bitter cold we are all experiencing is probably tied to the eruption of Mt. Agung in Bali. Back in the old days, when I was involved with a direct action earth protection group, we used to speculate that when the spit really hit…

Bless these litigious, doggedly active, beautiful motherfuckers.

Agreed. Also, Javier Bardem.
