The next “transformation” was white -> Latina. The message is presumably “we’re all the same under the skin.” I’m not saying it was a good way to say that, let alone that this is a good way to sell soap, but calling it racist is going a bit far.

I’ve done the Freeze and absolutely hated myself for it.

I’ve done the Freeze and absolutely hated myself for it. It stemmed from horrified disbelief that I was being groped and then, as it continued to happen, that nobody was doing anything to stop it. As you say, I had no control over the situation.

she was deeply shocked by Weinstein’s behavior and was frozen

I mean, you have it. Not a video game, but if you’re into that kind of thing there is always the news.

The same goes for liberal Hollywood. You might be able to count the amount of movies released each year that espouse liberal values on one hand. And, as long as conservatives are pretending their not racist, biopics about civil rights leaders don’t count.

Lindy’s resilience, strength, and tremendous writing are aspirational.

I’ve said this elsewhere, but as I’ve gotten more successful in my career (in public policy), I’ve run into a lot of these so-called liberals who are really operating more in a nobless-oblige framework. They don’t really humanize non-elites, they just think that placating them is safer for everyone. It’s been a really…

Actually, Winona Ryder’s career disappeared for 15 years because she was literally incapable of showing up and doing her job.
