So, he got more time than Dr. Nasser, the Olympic gymnast doc who raped 150+ girls including a 6 year old in front of her parents. Lol. Not racist at all.

 He claims to love women (or their bodies) more than he loves his own but he clearly hates women and loves having power over them. Claims queerness to avoid accountability for his rapey behavior. Boy, we should all have a PhD in misogyny.

There’s a news clip of one of those dudes who used to watch women in public bathrooms and he called them all goddesses, so, yeah. Using the term goddess screams “I don’t respect women’s boundaries”.

Uh, so, do you think strip joints owned by men are NOT exploitative? They are exploitative by the very nature of that arrangement. Strippers can be respected and work in a respectful environment. The fact that most don’t doesnt mean they are not deserving of respect or that rhey are responsible for poor working…

They’re also not going to deport him. They will just use him as a token while they deport other green card holders (like my partner) who are in a similar situation. After they’ve got the ball rolling on the brown folks They will let this doctor go because hes a doctor and an “exemplary” immigrant and meritocracy and…

A loved one gave up H and then eventually alcohol after years of brutal struggles. He has a few decades sober now. He is an inspiration because of his approach to life and just generally incredibly calming to talk to. I didn’t know him when he was struggling with addiction but he often mentions he can’t believe he…

Are there people around youu besides family who you can lean on for a while? There is a great harm reduction organization near me that is a great support.  I always love what you write here, so, thank you for that. Hang in there. I fully believe you can find your way.

She did leave.

I think its 100% of mass shooters have a history of dv

A couple episodes. It didn’t hook me the way Pulling did

Pulling can pull me out of a depressed mood any day. It’s better than Prozac (which I’ve actually never tried). More Sharon Horgan, please.

Wow, now I have to google all her pics to see this transformation.

Do you remember her rolling stone cover circa 2003/4? The whole world was obsessed with her. She has not weathered the last 10 or so years well.

Lol! Is this a double entandre? I realize that obviously union folks are victimized too. I just mean to point out that Franco seems to intentionally be picking young and easy to manipulate folks. Taking some bullshit classes @ 17 sounds like non-union.

I read the accusers accounts. One of them was for some movie he shot in LA with an orgy scene he asked her to do as an after thought. One of the others was for a commercial that where he asked partway through: “who wants to take off their shirt”. They claim women who refused nudity were not hired again. Also, I…

Thats what gets me about a show like this. Its not highlighting oppression for folks to learn from it is perpetuating it. They killed her in such a violent degrading way. Like, a curvy woman of color (who is particularly endearing) gets brutally murdered by a racist white dude. Oh, and Franco is a serial molester and…

The notices were for other bullshit productions, not The Deuce.

My take away is that its suspect how many projects where women are raped or portray prostitutes he is involved in. Dude is gross.

One thing I’ve learned from meeting actors is that they dont get the irony of the cautionary tales they play in. They are usually just like the characters they portray despite the fact that the world despises these characters.

They killed thunder thighs (Ruby) in the season finale
