Oh, I tend to agree with you. I was getting a kick out of how one the one hand, Jez writers call censorship on Ben Affleck because they don’t like what he was trying to hide, but if anyone expresses concern over the censorship over something they don’t care about, or disagree with, then they come out with the argument…

Also, I thought people at this website ascribed to the school of thought that says that censorship can only be carried out by the government. Unless they only say that when it’s convenient to the point they’re trying to make.

It was an important part of the show. They shouldn’t have given him a say on it. But he has every right to cooperate or not. He doesn’t owe us anything.

I’m with you on this one. While I generally consider Ben Affleck to be something of a dumpster fire I don’t think he is doing anything outside of the norm for most celebs. Interviewers are routinely briefed on what kind of questions the “star” does not want to be asked. Even interviews that appear to be candid are…

I’m not really seeing the issue here. I mean with the family history show it called into question the shows validity and they likely should have told him either he cooperates or they run it without his input. But I mean if you have issue with his requirements don’t agree to interview based on them.

“When Savitt began at Yahoo the top managers reporting to her … including the chief editors of the verticals and magazines, were less than 20 percent female. Within a year and a half those top managers were more than 80 percent female,”

What we need is to legalize sex work completely. Once it is out of the shadows and decriminalized, then it will be much easier to sort out the sex trafficking from those who have willingly chosen that line of work.

who was, let’s not forget, married to his own second cousin for 14 years

My SIL had an eating disorder as a teen. The entire time I’ve known her she’s shown signs of disordered eating (absurd diets). She totally pushes it on her kids, told me that she told her college age daughter to give up gluten, sugar and dairy after she gained the freshmen fifteen. Now she’s loaded and has a personal…

Yes and no.

I don’t disagree that jail time will be harmful to her but she absolutely should not have unsupervised custody of those children until she has a clean bill of mental health. The fact that her son might have permanent brain damage due to his malnourishment is heart breaking.

No. Listen, if this was a guy people would be calling for lengthy prison time, and rightfully so. Same thing for her. Unless she was delusional she knew children under 1 are not supposed to live on just fruit and nuts.

I would like video or even audio of this. My dislike of Trump is pretty well documented here, but this could, maybe, possibly actually be an instance where statements were taken out of context. *ducks for cover*

If the charity was always doing something wrong and they never got investigated or reprimanded for 20+ years of doing the same thing, that speaks volumes.

The illegal activity of the charity has nothing to do with him running for office. What they did is illegal no matter what.

So, I’ve never read Ferrante. But this brings up some interesting conversations re: “literary truth”. We expect to know all about the life of an author in part bc we want to know if they are “qualified” to tell a certain story.

eh... if you want anyone to ever get into an anonymous car.. it would have to prioritize saving its occupants over anything else...

Wait. ANYONE?

Gtfo with that anti-Semitic bs. You literally have zero clue what you’re talking about. Support of Palestinian rights isn’t anti-Semitic. It’s disgusting to even suggest it.

May you erect a giant ten commandments statue in your yard and may cool-cat Jesus show up to you and you kneel in wonder next to the statue, and then may Jesus topple it over, crushing you to death and speeding your descent to Hell.
