Yes. This is why she wasn’t, and still isn’t, a good candidate. Also the rust-belt old guard core Dems/retired union members straight up HATE her husband for what he did with NAFTA. So that was always an issue. It was depressing watching this play out. Just from hearing my dad and his peers (who all went out and…

In my experience local DNC offices are useless anymore and nationally they think they know better than anyone else but are incompetant. They LOVE putting people on committees who are “fundraisers” (ie rich with rich friend) but these people don’t know how to actually win. Also because they are all rich they tend to…

What?! I’m confused by Kate Winselt’s quote there, Woody Allen “is a woman” “on some level”....WTF does that even have to do with his behaviour? Is she saying it’s ok because “he’s a woman”? Going to go google to see if I can read what she said in context....

Exactly. The gaslighting that Woody Allen and his minions have done for years is disgusting and infuriating. I hope this finally means mainstream voices at least stop defending him.

Yes, I teach my sons how to be good humans/not be predatory assholes...but I ALSO teach my daughter to be confident and get the f*ck out of there if a guy is not respecting her and she feels anyway at all uncomfortable or creeped out or threatened etc. In the words of My Favorite Murderer - Fuck Politeness! I think we…

My son made us watch the old Star Wars holiday special before Christmas. Anna, please go watch that bizarre treat and report back to us on what you learned about Chewbacca & his family. (Princess Leia even sings!)

I bet they are great at holding in post holiday muffin tops!

It was pretty gross/uncomfortable and memorable, he gets it all over his beard and just stares at Rey.

What sad news. Condolences to her family. I only knew her from Twitter but will miss her on there a lot.

Meh. My overall memory is that show was kind of hard work and not really that enjoyable. Yeah, I watched it then - but I don’t think I would now. Remember how there was a half hr (with no ads) of a baby crying in the ep where they Ferberize their kid? For Pete’s sake, real life is stressful enough without fictional…

I listen to the Dollop regularly but didn’t listen to their Barnum one. Have told lots of ppl to listen to their multi-part Trump ep recently though.

All I know about P.T. Barnum was from this random 2 part podcast I listened to a while back (it’s not one of my usuals) https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/our-fake-history/id1021703062?mt=2&i=1000378379085 https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/our-fake-history/id1021703062?mt=2&i=1000378379085

See, I know him from SNL but that was when I was 19-20 and up. And he just annoyed the hell out of me for laughing all the time. Maybe I was too old. Maybe he imprinted on all those adolescent brains like they were baby birds ha ha.

It’s a great article, very interesting! (Maybe her family will see this and you can do a follow up!)

How is Fallon still winning (marginally) the 18-49 year old demo? The fact that he’s not even in first overall makes this even more bizarre. If anything you’d think older people would have just stayed with “The Tonight Show” out of brand loyalty - but they’ve seemingly all jumped ship and the younger people are…

Exactly. They cornered the “market” on high profile cases involving women being mistreated. It’s a business opportunity to them, they aren’t some kind of benevolent do-gooders.

I’d imagine lots, if agreeing to a NDA resulted in a large settlement that she got a big cut of.

Lol wut? Nobody says “youthquake”. Someone working for a newspaper or the BBC probably thought it up for a headline and now it’s just them and their friends trying to make it happen. “OMG this youthquake is on fleek!” “Oh yeah, totally lush and fetch!”

If they had spoken out then he’d probably have seen tons and tons of outright awful false stories about them in the media, planted in a smear campaign (by Weinstein’s people) against them.

He’s just doing what he’s always done. And it’s always worked before. Calling people liars when they accuse him of something is probably practically a Pavlovian response to that a-hole.
