This picture just made me deeply sad and nostalgic. I still mourn Gawker.

Slay, Jane Fonda, slay!

Can’t underestimate the importance of these ships. If you want to talk about who won that war, in terms of human loss, the Soviets did, hands down. But in terms of materiel, it was the U.S. Our ability to churn out these ships, to get supplies over seas in such rapid, overwelming fashion completely outstripped the…

Being born after the Apollo program ended makes it feel miraculous that we were ever able to accomplish anything.

“Where does this idea that the hotter the guy, the less it’s harassment even come from? “

Bitterness. Pitiful, blame-shifting bitterness. 

That’s absolute misogynist bull. Harassment is harassment, assault is assault. Please reconsider where you’re getting this idea that women are okay with good-looking guys harassing them. It’s completely false.

Where does this idea that the hotter the guy, the less it’s harassment even come from. Icky is icky, and even a hot guy who just whipped it out and forced me to watch him jerk off would fast become not at all hot to me. It’s a really ridiculous and insulting assertion that it’s not harassment if the guy is attractive,…

Hey, thanks for this. I felt I had read up quite a bit but, on further examination, she did certainly accuse CK (and I’m positive it is him) of doing something gross and creepy but I never noticed that other people were attaching the masturbating rumors to this. Thanks again for a thoughtful reply

No, Jen Kirkman didn’t accuse him of that, and I feel like that misunderstanding is at the heart of a lot of commentary, and might even be at the heart of why, after describing someone who pretty transparently sounded like CK, she then denied it was him. Around the time there was a resurgence of publicity around the…

also method man is a fucking sweet heart IRL and did not deserve any of that...
(having met him on several occasions through work situations and asking him to adopt me because he is kinda the best...he kindly refused due to me being in my mid to late 20's at the time but he said i could have a hot meal anytime)

This is just a weird situation because it’s rumors about rumors, and half the times it gets written about here at the AVClub it’s handled inaccurately. Literally the most concrete thing that I am aware of people saying publicly is that some people in the comedy world have said that it’s a common rumor in the comedy…

There has been such a rise in misogyny, from in your face and shameless like this to shutting down/out women from policy debate and decisions, since that suited sack of orangutan feces ran for office and won.

That exchange is microcosm of what’s going on in this country. Trump getting elected has empowered any moron to feel like they can say what ever stupid shit is in their head, regardless of how offensive or plain idiotic it may be. Talk about cultural regression.

That’s a good strategy but expensive. You’re paying 2 people ~$10/hr to watch kids, probably for about 5 hours. That’s an extra $100, plus either a downstairs or hotel room rental fee. And imagine any other couple with a young child who was told they couldn’t bring them seeing that shit? Weddings are hard to navigate…

Yep. Sometimes people want to drink, dance, and be merry at weddings without worrying about keeping track of tots or saying/doing the wrong thing in front of children.

Can I also say that I think it’s really weird to be like, “It will be awkward. We’ll have nothing to say after not seeing each other for so long.” I have plenty of friends that I only see a few times a year. I love them, but we are just busy with our own lives. You know what? We find plenty to talk about BECAUSE…

Lmfao. Do you dislike people who throw adults only dinner parties too? Why on Earth is saying in advance “no kids” something you dislike? That’s so silly.

Her wedding, her rules.

Maybe it’s because I give ZERO fucks, but I don’t understand this idea of “they’re family, I have to invite them.” or “I have to go to this awful thanksgiving dinner because IT’S FAMILY and they’ll be mad.” You’re adult, you don’t have to invite anyone you don’t fucking want to invite or go anywhere you don’t want to…

Short of rescheduling it, no matter what you do, bitch is gonna ruin your wedding. She’s intent on it.
