And he cheated on Khloe before...with multiple women in the same night, knowing there were cameras around! He very clearly never, ever thought much of his relationship with Khloe. Khloe was aware of this, and yet she stayed with him—that decision is 100% on her, and now it’s hers to live with. Fuck Thompson and fuck…

Can we please not forget he dropped his pregnant girlfriend for Khloe?  Khloe!!!! STOP!  He’s a piece of shit.  Woods did not break up your fam.

I’ll likely get flamed for this but:
You write “I don’t mourn the loss of my pre-baby body; I mourn all the needless fucks I gave about it.”
How do we get to a place where people do that without publicly extolling the virtue of the post pregnancy body and, to some degree, shifting the paradigm of self-worth away from…

This was a good one but a sad one that really felt like the beginning of the end. I also wondered about Ilana’s shock at what Lincoln wanted because his desire for a serious, monogamous, relationship with the possibility of a long-term future is why they broke up in the first place. She realized she was so heartbroken…

There was really no way of coming out of this without some level of criticism.  At some point, you just have to pick a course of action, go with it, and hope that things turn out for the best.  I think she made the smart move; only time will tell how effective it was.

“Writer and activist Rebecca Nagle, a member of the Cherokee Nation, criticized Warren’s apology, saying “without a public apology this private phone call falls flat and rings hollow.”

I’m part Tohono O’odham and I married into a Tohono O’odham family. The border has bisected our traditional homelands since 1848, as well as other border tribes-the Lipan Apache, Yoeme (Yaquí), Kickapoo and I believe also the Tuscarora tribes. For the first few decades after the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, most…

So— bear with me, this starts off as a downer but ends on (hopefully) an up note.

I think more than being his friend, this might be hitting a nerve with her because of how she was treated after coming out really strongly against the invasion of Iraq. It’s easy now to look back and wonder how someone could have suffered for being against the Iraq war, but she truly did lose a lot of opportunities…

“And I really can’t see the Garofalo of the early 90s - the alt comic feminist - allowing a comic of that generation to skate so easily if they’d done something like that to her.”

Look, I get standing up for a friend. But compare this to what Marc Maron said about C.K., also longtime friends. He had asked C.K. privately about the (at the time) rumors and Louis said they weren’t true. When C.K. admitted to the behavior, Maron said on the podcast that Louis had straight up lied to him and fuck…

Obviously her being underage makes it 10 times worse, but pulling a random woman out of the crowd to kiss and fondle is creepy in general

Thank you. This whole fucking thing is a stunt. 

Why are we pretending that they are actually broken up?

As a cis queer woman I ask, why do they need to be gay? Not all tension comes from sexuality and sometimes there are other circumstances that create this tension between characters, like in these books. I don’t need every character to reflect my personal experience with sexuality. I think (?) I see where you’re coming…

I gotta say, these accusations seem flimsy at best. The assault one seems odd, and sure, investigate it. But with the other two, it sounds like all parties involved are telling the truth. It’s just that accidentally putting your hand in a weird place for a photo is... Well, it can happen pretty easily. And a casual…

I can understand the struggle for some to understand how someone they know in one way could possibly behave in another way. Surely we’ve all been there in one way or another with our friends and family.

I think it is a uniquely American thing that military service seems to give you a lifetime pass to be an asshole unless you literally murder someone.
