Gossett was 10 years old in Massachussetts when Johnson died in NYC so I doubt they knew of each other’s existence

Does that apply if the illegal act is alleged? Does it need a conviction? or some other proof?

Sounds pretty reasonable to me. Clooney’s probably trying to process how he managed not to realize for so long who/what Weinstein really is. The fact that the Obamas let their Malia, their 19-year-old daughter, intern for Weinstein’s company shows me that this “open secret” wasn’t really as “open” as some people seem…

I doubt Clooney thought Weinstein was “loved”; he probably thought he was tolerated for his money/power/influence. There’s a difference between sleazy rich dude and rapist rich dude: consent. The fact that the Obamas let their Malia, their 19-year-old daughter, intern for him shows me that this “open secret” wasn’t…

Yesterday this site was criticizing him for not speaking out. Now he’s spoken out, and instead of finding anything wrong per se, he’s trying too hard to be woke. What do we expect of him? He’s an actor. I don’t know why people expect him to be some kind of feminist leader.

Presidents in Mexico cannot be re-elected

Unless you think 24-year-olds are “adults,” I disagree. The conclusions drawn from the report are misleading. They say ages 25-54 hold “the largest share of fast-food worker jobs,” but if you look at the report:

Has Jezebel published an article on the Mexico earthquake that’s killed over 200 people?

I don’t think entry-level jobs are “filled with adults.” Sure there’s more adults working them, but my friend works in fast food in his early twenties, and most of his coworkers are younger; several are still in high school.

I’m sorry to hear that. I know it sounds cliche, but have you considered couples counseling? It works for many people.

Would you share your sources for this info? These are some extremely serious claims

How is it secretive? They put his name online for all to see

He was not technically correct. I’m pointing out the grain of truth he was likely referring to, as it’s been discussed a lot recently by climatologists. Many people predicted more major hurricanes after Katrina but we didn’t get any in subsequent years until this year

What the fuck? What technicalities?

Matthew never made landfall in Florida; it tracked alongside the Eastern coast

A major hurricane is defined as category 1 or above. Plenty of storms that don’t even meet the definition of tropical storm, but they still killed people. It has nothing to do with mortality, its a measure of windspeed – a useful proxy for storm strength. Effects on people are mediated by preparedness, population…

We went 12 years without a major hurricane impact, the longest stretch of time since the NHC existed. That’s between Wilma in 2005 and Harvey in 2017 (slightly less than 12 years).

12-year drought refers to major hurricanes (category 3 and above). Wilma was the last major hurricane to make landfall in 2005. No others made landfall until Harvey this year.

They wrote this whole article without quoting or addressing her original comments at all. It allows her to weasel out of what she said by saying “ALL white people” is some kind of abstract concept with no relation to individuals. Are you kidding me?

Thank you so much. These are the voices we should spotlight more in this era. We need to hear more from working-class women of color and less from orange blowhards.
