You’re gonna need a bigger bucket.

If I were famous, I would only talk to the press if I had to - i.e. promoting something or career protection. I think it’s normal. Talking to the press and maintaining an active Twitter profile so the entire world can know what I think about every issue (and feel entitled to demand an explanation/apology if they don’t

While I recognize that possibly no apology would be enough here . . . that’s actually about as good of an apology as one could do in a situation like this? She acknowledged her actions, thanked people for holding her accountable, apologized, and talked about behavior changes going forward. And she’s right: since much

Andrew Yang is running for office. Even if it’s just mayor, it’s mayor of a huge city so his positions on this actually matter and can have an impact. He was also clearly trying to cosy up to the Orthodox Jewish community of New York, which is pretty damn influential in New York’s mayoral race.

I see couple of things happening with this Colton discourse.

Does Paris pay you hourly, or do you get a salary?

But if you’re looking for a way to indulge in celebrity stories without really confronting their dark side, @DeuxMoi’s Instagram stories are right there waiting for you.

Anyone who’s into the rock/metal scene has known for decades that Sharon Osbourne sucks ass. She attempted to cut the original musicians out of royalties by having their parts re-recorded on reissues of Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman, she screwed over Lita Ford and Jake E. Lee financially, she’s a total

How is “Black women have weird names lol” a take you’re comfortable expressing, and then defending, in 2021?

Errrrrr ...

I’m with you. How is it in the public’s interest to hear this nobody’s shitty apology? Why should the public care that the person only known for being a piece of shit is very sorry that everyone found out he’s a piece of shit?

As someone who has been sexually assaulted only to later see my abuser in the news rewriting his narrative and being enabled by a reporter to do so, this interview was a travesty.

Personally I still have to disagree with this. It feels, at least to me given how little this got expanded, that people involved with this story asked her not to give him coverage and she just relabeled it. Saying, “it’s an interview.” just comes off as naysaying.

I can’t believe how much dumber I am for reading through the replies to your thoughtful and nuanced comment. Thank you for your patience in the face of people being completely out of pocket not only about your personal experience but clinical expertise. You made a very clear distinction in your original comment about

I don’t know, I think there’s a lot of space between David Hogg Should Be Homeless Because Capitalism and Hmm Is It A Little Goofy That David Hogg Is Using His Massive Following Derived From His Position As The De Facto Spokesman Of A Senseless Tragedy To Build A Profitable Pillow Company That Relies On Tired

I just want to say as an outsider that has never been in any kind of therapeutic treatment, you’ve been very rude and inappropriate in this conversation. All Veit has said from the beginning is that residential treatment can be done well and isn’t always abusive and that they know from personal experience. You’ve

I firmly believe in rehabilitation, but I don’t think being published nationally is a necessary step in rehabilitation. I’m all for sex offenders being rehabilitated and having access to therapy, but I’m not going to make them playground monitors.

Hi. I’m one of many victims/survivors of Nesset’s. He pursued me when I was a teenager and has remained a terrifying presence in my life ever since. I was so relieved when he went to prison because I finally got to experience a sense of relative safety. He is the reason many of us have depression, PTSD, and horrific

My point is, if we judge a person on the worst thing they’ve ever done no matter what else happens before or after,then that person has no reason to work to become a better person.
