Not to mention Frank is basically him (or the Domhnall Gleeson character is, more precisely) and he co-wrote Okja.

Yeah the “decides who is worthy of compassion” is pretty laughable. Anyone with a passing interest in Ronson knows that’s bull. The above smacks of snap judgements based on no research at all. I’m a fan of Irish comedian Maeve Higgins. She’s made it her mission of late (maybe always did) to call out bad behaviour,…

I think that’s reasonable but I don’t think the intention of the book was to shield assholes from criticism. In fact I’ve seen Ronson tweeting when genuine assholes require a genuine shaming. I don’t think it’s fair to disregard the message of the book because a couple of dicks misuse it. Dickheads gonna dickhead…

I don’t think anyone familiar with Ronson or his work could make the claims the original poster does. Ronson spends most of his Twitter time fending off people asking him to weigh in on topical online shamings. He also pleads with people not to diagnose mental health conditions from a distance which is another thing…

Have you (or the snarky commenter) read hd Shamed book or any of his work? He also has another podcast about porn performers and I’ve heard how he speakers about the people he met through that. I think the tone of this is way off. The message of both Shamed and his Psycopath book is empathy, understanding, and the…

This isn’t directed at Megan for what it’s worth.

So....body shaming is ok if it’s a man with very public addiction issues seemingly trying to get healthy??

ITV. Oh. At least it’s not Channel 5.

That meme is all I’ve been able to think of lately.

LOL who hurt you

I certainly don’t bother commenting as much anymore. I kind of don’t mind the enforced break from the comments though-it’s weaned me off and I don’t mind. I mostly find it annoying when I want to star people though.

Ooh thank you. I will try that.

Yep. Pretty much every time I visit the site I’m not logged in. Sometimes I just go directly to the Kinja URL but other times I have to reconnect my twitter account to Kinja. I’d say it’s been months and months like that.

Side note question, does Kinja constantly kick anyone else out of their account? It’s so frequent I end up staying logged out more often than not. Also is embedded Instagram content not working for anyone else?

I think Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson have been dating for a while? I’m fairly sure it’s been covered in Jezebel previously? But I also get that it’s so boring white people on boring white people that it has an amnesiac effect.

It is! I didn’t realise how in desperate a need I was for something that was just nice. You feel a bit lighter somehow. Mazel to the spiffing couple!

Hello! Appreciate the top line information in the end section of Dirt Bag rather than having to click through - thank you!

Was going to say this too. One or two is fine but that whole section requires a click through. Very, very annoying.

I find it helpful for sleeping and as I said elsewhere, it maybe might possibly perhaps makes me feel calmer in waking hours. But a friend bought some after my recommendation and the guy in the health food store told her it can help prevent cancer or something and I wanted to burn the store down.

I believe you can get a topical CBD cream - that might be helpful for her. Worth a try anyway. Best of luck.
