So have you paused for a moment to think about the victims instead of just the harassers? How do you think it affected the careers of women around Franken? Could any of them have left their dream job because Franken made them feel uncomfortable and disrespected? And what if Franken made comments to young female…

Al Franken’s behavior fall under the realm of sexual misconduct. It’s an appropriate term, and it makes sense for them to get grouped under that term together when talking about the current culture. I haven’t heard anyone say rape and butt grabbing are the same thing, but there’s a lot of people getting upset when…

I mean, honestly, I’m seeing tons of people, here and in my “real life,” who are backing Franken. There are Moveon.org petitions (useless instruments of change, btw) asking him to stay on, etc. People are castigating ALL the women who came forward about Franken, in the same disgusting way people trash all other…

It is very clear from the promos that Kristen Wiig is only in the first 20 minutes so I don’t know how the producers thought anyone was going to give a fuck after that point. After the preview I turned to my husband and said “We should watch this...after our phones die halfway through a transatlantic flight.”

Because good men are not serial sexual abusers.

An older, very successful litigator once told me that the most important thing is to know when to stop talking.

Guys, simple rule. Let’s make this easy for you. If you wouldn’t say it to your male boss, don’t say it to me. I’ve been at several jobs where I am the only woman. And instead of letting me eat my goddamned lunch in peace, here’s what I get:

There is not a doubt in my mind.

When people ask what living in LA is like I tell them to watch the show. Not the celebrity stuff but the fact that you can be in one of the biggest cities in America and feel alone. But as someone who likes to be alone, that’s a good thing for me.

I had to shut a dude down recently (after he shared this sympathetic post of Franken visiting someone woman in the hospital because I guess this was supposed to cancel out his behavior)  who also said he “wished there was an ethics investigation and there was a rush to punishment and he felt cheated.” I was like, I…

I am very, very, very ok with never seeing Matt Damon in a movie again. This current movie seems like a real snooze-fest, just like him.

His insistence that butt pats aren’t rape and should be treated differently lead me to believe there’s a chance he’s a butt patter and wants to make it clear that’s it’s NOT RAPE, y’all!

Damon’s got that thing where he’s just so certain that he has a worthwhile opinion on any topic.

Why do men get so many chances in Hollywood? There are thousands of people begging to be part of that industry, it’s not like you can’t find someone else who doesn’t harass and abuse women. Women get discarded for daring to age past 30 while men are allowed to work after assaulting, raping, harassing, etc.

Did I ever say this? Are people really this obtuse? I made no mention at all of outlawing AI, not using AI, Implementing a real ‘Butlerian Jihad’ against all machines ala “Thou shalt not make a machine in the likeness of a human mind.”

Yes, I clearly stated we should stop all research into AI.... Way to address and defeat an argument that was not made.

No, the point is that AI is advancing to the point where it can do medical research and diagnosis, do it more accurately and consistently than a human being, far cheaper, and can be replicated endlessly.

I don’t think you understood my point. AI is doing diagnostic research and then performing diagnosis based on findings. Things that put highly educated humans out of work.

IT’s ok, the thought police will surely have proper warrants before they kick in your forehead.

I’m hoping the people who said ‘AI isn’t going to affect employment except for the stupid people’ pay attention to article like this. AI threatens everyone’s jobs.
