Excellent podcast, really horrible subject. Lisa Chow and Gimlet Media did an incredible job of telling the story, and I was worried for a moment that it would make me sort of like Dov Charney - and then he spoke and I remembered that would be impossible.

For those interested, Start Up recently did a several episode series about Charney’s attempts at starting his new company and his past at American Apparel. While I’m generally skeptical of our societal tendency to give so-called complicated male figures a lot of attention in some sort of attempt to figure them out,…

Nobody’s going to care about one procedural amendment vote after two years of Trump. Jesus, Bernie people are hyperbolic.

We’re so fucked. So, so fucked.

Nothing

Operation Rescue = Christian terrorism.

We secretly laughed at and mocked the couple who had 2 kids by age 21. Now they are out having fun every weekend at age 43 while our little shits are still in middle school.

Debbie also suggested Carrie have a child with her step-dad because the kid would have nice eyes or something. Debbie Reynolds was not a very worldly woman—she wasn’t stupid, but she wasn’t very attuned to certain realities. For instance, she thought the child could happen because doctors could just inject ‘something’…

It really seems to capture the “armistice” that occurs when you have an aging parent and you grudgingly decide to try to make things work despite past history. My father wasn’t a nice guy. Bright, politically opinionated, and well-read, but also nasty, manipulative and self-centered. (Actually, my mom was much the…

I know they found some kind of sense of peace, but man are there a lot of stories of Debbie Reynolds being a raging narcissist (and whatever the fuck the above is) and Carrie Fisher dealing with the fall out.

I keep thinking of that scene with her and Bruno Kirby in bed talking about their friends’ shitty dating lives.

If there is an after life, I like to think Carrie is chiding her mother saying “Jesus, could you not even give me 24 hours before you stole my limelight?!”

Came here to say the same thing. I used to live in KC and I can guarantee that the airport is, in fact, in Missouri (MO), not Michigan (MI).

As a native of Michigan, I was unaware that we also had a Kansas City or that it had an airport.

That drove me crazy. I think I spent an entire election season yelling some variation of “this is quite possibly the dumbest person on the planet, she says some new mind-shatteringly stupid thing every six seconds, why the hell are we just tossing lazy sexist insults at her” at most of my friends. What the hell does…

Similarly, the left dubbed Sarah Palin “Caribou Barbie,” leading to an entire year where I began every other sentence with the qualifier, “don’t make me defend Sarah Palin.”

She is The Boss.

The amount of shit Hillary (and others as you say) has had to endure over her 40 years serving the public has been astronomical and disgusting. I know she won’t be crying when she accepts the nomination tomorrow night (wimmenz be weeping, etc.), but a LOT of us will on her behalf.

This is why I can’t even believe she’s in the race now. I would have told america to fuck off by now.

*Sigh* It’s just insane to me that we are unwilling (because we could figure out a way to do this if lawmakers made this a priority, but they won’t because they’re too busy cutting taxes for the rich and shit) to pay the people who care for and educate our kids a good wage. It’s insane. Of course, it’s all because…
