The good die young.

“We’re the party of Lincoln! You remember him! He fought a whole big war to free the slaves! So, basically, ignore the last 50 years of actual policy and remember the guy from 150 years ago. Clearly, we care more about civil rights than those dirty Democrats.”

I love that this is the Republican narrative. It’s like…

Well, if her male heir said it was important then by all means... Dude, this is part of the death by a thousand cuts women face every day. “It’s just a headline” It’s just a compliment” “It’s just a joke” “It’s just an ad” It’s just a music video” “It’s just the way they do things here” “well that’s what people think…

Neither of us is likely to have an obituary in the Times. If I somehow manage to make a contribution worthy of that honor, I would expect the author to lead with that, because that would make sense.

There is no way I would put a gun in that thing. Not only is it extremely unsafe, but a hidden safe in strategic locations would almost definitely work better.

As a former journalist, I can tell you that there is a reason why the first sentence of a story is called the lede (or lead). It’s because that’s where you put the information you consider the most important. That’s where the phrase “burying the lede” comes from—and that’s what this obit does.

This kinda feels like this crossing the line. What the woman did was wrong, ironic, kinda funny, but she didn’t harm anyone, and I thought her getting fired in the first place was too much.

Were we hoping her entire life would be ruined or something? Protesters are getting dogs sicced on them in North Dakota, it might be time to move on from this lady.

Meh, maybe it’s time to be over this.

This breathless coverage of the minutiae of Clinton’s daily schedule as Secretary of State, lunch habits as NY Senator, trips to the bathroom during debates, etc., is increasingly bizarre and demonstrative only of a media that are utterly invested in false equivalencies and a “horserace,” no matter the facts.

Boston kid that ended up in NYC just had his / her From the Mixed Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler taken away. Definitely the prankster here.

She’s a public figure. The Maryland blogger published a retraction. Sullivan V. NYT is settled law. I don’t see how she has a prayer.

It seems pretty Streisand Effecty, though. The original claims weren’t widely disseminated in the press, but this will give even respectable publications a reason to cover the story. And even if she wasn’t an escort back then, she clearly doesn’t want more journalists digging into that period in her life, given the…

His “preserving the Black man” statement a few years ago, after he should have been woke, right? Nope. I remember reading about that statement, and telling myself - well, fuck him - the mainstream media didn’t pick up on that though / business as usual I guess. As a gay male, I will not back up homophobic artists. I’m…

I’m the exact same age he is and I certainly knew when I was 19 that passed out drunk women weren’t consenting to sex. This interview is disgusting.

“I never thought about consent as a definition, especially as I do now,” Parker told Ebony. “I think the definitions of so many things have changed.”

Shouldn’t someone in this position be savvy enough to go get educated, or at least coached, about how to discuss this stuff before going out and doing more press and social media? He’s proven himself farther beyond redemption each time he speaks.

He should feel at least guilty for her dead and ashamed for raping her.

Sir, you are 36 years old. If you don't have the concept of consent down by now, it's because you don't want to.

Yeah, the “all men should get one free rape so they can learn the true meaning of consent” line. More lip service and false repentance so he can save his fucking movie. Fuck him.
