I actually rewatched most of the office last year and what seemed cute and funny in the early aughts (michaels casual racism and homophobia, Dwight’s pathetic narcissism and cruelty) seemed suddenly really threatening. You KNOW Dwight is down the qanon rabbit hole, David doesn’t see what the big deal about trump is,…

There are direct ideological and often financial ties between far-right movements. The far-right is not global. Memes and concepts spread. You can argue that all far-right movements tend to be anti-intellectual by definition, but the recent stuff in the UK has strong ties and influence by US patterns of the far-right.…

…….it also, once again, overlooks that significant chunk of gay dudes like me who have zero interest in pitching or catching.....*pause while #SocietyScratchesItsHead*…...the fact that this question is inevitable is such a mirror on group assumption...... 

demanding his public shunning.

It’s a stupid question that only a messy so-called journalist would ask in a shitty attempt to get a response that will be shocking either because the celeb is shocked into actually answering or being appalled and letting the hack know.

It feels as though, with Rich’s “articles”, we’re watching in real time as someone assembles the portfolio of crassly abusive and arguably homophobic opinion pieces that, some years from now, will be presented as supporting evidence in articles on sites just like this demanding his public shunning...

remember, this is a media network that thinks journalistic content is video of what a person does in bed, so a few questions in text would be considered quite prude by comparison.

If by mysteriously you mean because they didn’t give him any medicine, then yes.  Travolta then tried to raise him from the dead by chanting to aliens. 

Sorry, Rich, this is as bad a take as endorsing Dale Peck’s disgraceful hit piece on Pete Buttigieg last month.

eh, i agree with sivan. i think asking such a question reveals more about the person asking then the person replying. did anyone ask Michael sheen in masters of sex if he would like to be pegged?

Lana Del Rey sings pretty explicitly about sex. It would still look weird to see a male journalist go “how do you like to fuck, though?”

This is absurd. A journalist asking what an artist likes to do in bed is absolutely crossing a line and sounds like shitty gossip rag journalism. That point about Madonna being asked the same question and her willing to give an answer isn’t analogous imo because it was asked about her alter ego (i.e., a fictional…

Somebody is still starchy Gina Gershon got tired of discussing Showgirls with him.

the “weird” part is that as he’s a Scientologist and therefore he doesn’t really believe his child is a child, she’s a zillion year old spirit. Ugh. 

It’s the “John Travolta is the father of a girl” headline that’s a headscratcher because the implication is that you’re going to read about him doing that sexist thing of saying, “As the father of girl, blah blah” or something.  But it doesn’t happen. The implication is there, though.

You must be a very young gay man if you think there’s anything controversial about sensing Travolta is gay.

I CAN’T UNSEE IT AND THAT’S HILARIOUS.

yep. came here to post this, glad that so many others are already all over it.

I don’t know why it bothers me, but it’s obvious that those stacks of papers aren’t actually printouts, but printer paper they ripped the paper off and put a pile. There are like segments in the piles, all the same size, and the size of a freshly opened printer paper bundle. Kinda lazy. All it takes is to move the…

I was a journalist, or at least a cub reporter, when news of Rumsfeld’s involvement in the torture of detainees started to come to light. This was around ‘04. I remember one particular press conference where there was this one detail about Rumsfeld supposedly overlooking a report or memo regarding the mistreatment of…
