She is really good in The Kettering Incident.  Not as popular as the other shows, but really solid.

This reminds me that it still bugs me that the Kettering Incident was not renewed for a 2nd season.  I hate when shows end on a cliffhanger!! 

if you express your interest in a woman by putting your hand up their dress or raping them and count that as “thinking about her,” we (you) need to re-evaluate the difference between what’s in our minds and outside it.

Or we could just believe the multiple victims. 

Neil deGrasse Tyson will never face real backlash for this because he explains to 28-year-olds that snowflakes are six-sided, a fact that they should have remembered from kindergarten, and they will follow him until the end of time for this priceless tweeted wisdom.

Yes.

“It’s a sad but common rite of passage for adult children to have to have “the talk” with aging parents when it’s time to stop driving.”

Wasn’t Celine Dion’s marriage like super creepy where she met him when he was 40 and she was 11 and he was her manager while she was a kid? 

Really, with the picture? It’s one step up from the “headless fatty” pics used to dehumanize fat people all the time in the media.

But he still did it in a public place so he could traumatize more people.

Good riddance. I don’t care if he didn’t actively molest or abuse a child, he’s still complicit in the production of child pornography and the abuse that entails.

I didn’t see it as a dig, quite the opposite. Faye Dunaway is a fucking legend but she doesn’t have the economic power to match, and the only explanation for that is sexism.

fuck “class”. she’s trying to make real change in the industry. expecting women to be “classy” while they work hard at things is just another way of policing them.

She’s not dragging Faye, but rather pointing out how dispossable women are in Hollywood. Faye was huge in the late-60s/70s, was in films that made money, had massive critical acclaim, and an Oscar to boot. Then, she made two films that flopped, and her career was dead. She has tried resurrecting it - even going over…

Hey: geneticist and soon-to-be-author of a new paper on Cacao diseases. It’s true that cacao is restricted to the tropics, but the main issue with it at this point is the proliferation of fungal diseases. Shade or not, the pathogens can wreak havoc on cacao production at all stages of life. At the moment, most of the…

You: Eggnog.

You’re not alone. This has been a shitty few months—like four dead in Ohio shitty—but let’s try to take the good from it. The good being that the people in the wrong are getting their balls nailed to the wall, despite the local cop’s intransigence. Long long long overdue, but it’s happening. The “silent majority”…

Fellow Charlottesville-ian here. Mick is absolutely right about the enormous differences between law enforcement and the prosecutors. We are NOT letting up on law enforcement and their enormous, unforgivable failings. I’ve contacted the City Council every week for 3 months reminding them that if the city manager…

I’m a little late on this, since it didn’t happen this week.... But I got an offer for a tenure-track job.

It saddened me to see so many people commenting in the other story that they don’t believe Takei’s accuser, even when they believe accusers in other cases.
