It’s fair I think to point out this flaw with Farrow’s book, when there is another book on a different investigation into the same topic in She Said, the memoir by Jody Kantor and Megan Twohey, that does a much better job of grounding their narrative on what happened to the victims than on their own heroism (to the…

Yeah, you can’t blame Weinstein for her less than great TERF-adjacent statements and victim blaming and other shit you mention. On the other hand, I do think you can blame some of her less problematic, but publicly erratic recent behavior at least partially on this attempt to destroy her by Weinstein and his goons.
A lot of top law school students are prestige-hungry enough that they won’t care so long as its Vault rankings hold up. Not to mention that unlike most of the big law firms out there which pay exactly the same as each other even when it comes to bonuses (so long as you meet your hours requirement it doesn’t matter if…
God, I forgot about them. The Nyong’o story was absolutely horrific (once again pre-fame, as I think she was still at Yale Drama School) and he definitely destroyed Sorvino’s career after she rebuffed him. She basically disappeared from Hollywood after Romy and Michelle despite being the daughter of an actor and a…
Edited to Correct: While the whole fake friend Israeli spy thing was 100% true, McGowan did know about them shortly after Farrow’s article was published. She only learned about Lisa Bloom’s full involvement after She Said came out last month, which is still important because she probably wouldn’t have brought any…
Not all evidence, at least relevant to the claims she’s making. One of the things that Weinstein and his goons did was hire an Israeli spy outfit to send someone pretending to be some female executive in a British investment company looking to hire McGowan to speak at some fake “powerful women” speaking series they…
100% agree. She’s not perfect (although a lot of that is due to the machinations of those she is suing now), but if you read the full complaint, it’s absolutely insane what these assholes did to her. It was already bad enough that Weinstein raped McGowan, but they essentially destroyed her life, reputation, and career…
Good for her! Having read the reporting and also the far more in-depth reporting contained in the She Said memoir by Jody Kantor and Megan Twohey, who broke the Weinstein story in the NYTImes, the lengths they went to to destroy McGowan were diabolical. Not only did they hire spies to befriend her and then steal part…
Gwyneth Paltrow and Salma Hayek both have spoken out against him (Paltrow went public shortly after the NYTimes article and allowed Jody Kantor and Megan Twohey, the journalists behind it, to publish her background conversations with her in the lead-up to the article on the record in their recent memoir about the…

Yeah they are great! The fact that they are filmed in her fairly cramped apartment kitchen, which is not like the typical expansive cooking video kitchens with endless counter space we usually see, is super clutch and probably my favorite part, aside from the fact that she is also pretty charming and funny.
Her videos on NYT Cooking’s YouTube page are pretty lit as well. It’s particularly useful to see how she artfully navigates her small kitchen and makes it work for her. I highly recommend. Also, regardless of her social media celebrity, she writes damn good recipes that are relatively easy, with just enough oomph to…
I just got the almost fully-loaded CX-5 (it lacks the 360 body camera and the fancier Nappa leather seats) and its fully one of the nicest and most user-friendly interiors I have ever sat in. The ventilated seats were clutch in the summer.
Can Jezebel do a feature where you review a different DCOM every so often? Preferably starting with Zenon the Zrilogy or Brink!?
One of my favorite sushi restaurants ever, Miya’s in New Haven, CT, has a special menu for invasive species sushi. It’s not the most delicious but totally in line with Miya’s extremely sustainable approach to sushi, which deserves more attention. http://www.miyassushi.com/
Yes we absolutely can. They are thriving because they came from a completely different ecosystem (where there are plenty of them that will still survive if we manage to kill of the ones that are here) and they pose a massive risk to existing species in this ecosystem. The problem with invasive species is that they…
Wasn’t the whole point of her initial tweet that she hadn’t done her homework when it was happening, but now she has and hoo boy now she knows Bush was a giant fuckstick. I don’t see what’s wrong with that.
I completely agree, and I don’t buy the argument that we should just obstruct everything so Trump can’t have a “win”. Also, it bears noting that very little has changed in NAFTA 2.0 from the original deal. You can argue all you want about whether NAFTA itself is good, but nothing in this is worse than the original…
It’s largely the same as NAFTA on anything that matters. They made a few cosmetic changes and slapped on a new name so Trump could say he was a brilliant negotiator. Given that there clearly aren’t the votes to abolish NAFTA or any similar trade deal altogether, this is largely just maintaining the status quo and no…
They have been doing this ad nauseam, but because Mitch just kills them no one pays attention. Also, NAFTA 2.0 is basically NAFTA 1.0 with a couple changes that aren’t a big deal and a new name. Passing NAFTA 2.0 is basically a non-event since it just maintains the status quo.
