Seriously. That fact that Tig seems happy letting her statements implicate him makes me think maybe people do know something, but at the same time what a lot of actors are saying about Weinstein rings true - there are so many false rumors about themselves people accept as 100% true that they take everything with a…

As a WASP who is well aware of how my ancestors thought Italians and Greeks were pretty dark and uncivilized, I love how she is claiming Roman and Greek civilization as peak white achievement.

I have been wondering for the last 3 months why my new TV makes everything look like a soap opera. I thought it was just the OLED screen, but I saw this thread a couple of days ago and it saved me!

I mean, I have sympathy with teachers that are fed up with attitudes, but the fact that he dealt with a bitch by explaining in front of the class how she would have to sexually humiliate herself in order to advance in her chosen career just seems....inappropriate.

Well, she turned him down and he was apparently really angry, so it doesn’t sound like he was rewarding her with an Oscar.

Ugh. The one time I was raped in college the guy invited himself into my room to give me a massage. I was so drunk I was like “Sure, I don’t want to have sex though”. Next thing I remember he was on top of me. So icky.

Well, it sounded like some of these people did tell their agents, and some employees spoke to higher ups at the company. And nothing happened.

Holy crap. That teacher sounds super, extra creepy.

In classifying yourself as “crazy and needy” I think it would be interesting to know if this is the consensus among guys you date (in which case you are just dating crappy guys) or if this is a consensus among some well-meaning and well-adjusted female friends. Either way, you are who you are and pretending to be…

Growing up I really don’t remember so many Confederate flags in New England, but I also didn’t spend as much time in rural areas. Over the course of my lifetime the conservative/liberal divide has become much less regional and much more urban v. rural. So, rural New Englanders associate the Confederate flag with…

This guy is younger than my dad, so I am not really buying his Mad Men excuses. Also, if I were to buy them, maybe I would accept him calling someone “sweets” or asking his female coworkers to bring him coffee. Rape and other assorted harassment, that’s just ‘cause he wants to.

Whaaaaahhh?

For some reason up until a few years ago I thought Sasha Frere-Jones and Ta-Nehisi Coates were the same person and I was realllllly confused. I think the hyphen threw me. Anyways, Coates is brilliant.

Yeah, I associate Tom Petty so strongly with my suburban junior high experience that I can’t really listen to it. But, I have found in the last few years that I have rediscovered some of his songs and they hold up well.

Except all the brown people would have to go too.

Thank you for making me guffaw during this shitty news cycle.

I think the Western leftists who even care enough to write think pieces about Syria are a pretty narrow group. I think the rest are just bewildered about who to support. Everyone I know is anti-Assad and anti ISIS, but the prospects for somehow supporting the non-ISIS rebels successfully seem slimmer each day. Do…

That’s why there is an exception for rape. If a good woman gets raped, it doesn’t matter if the fetus feels pain and is murdered. I think?

I have a pair of Cole Haan kitten heels that I have worn for work presentations for at least 10 years. Super comfy and stable. Some kitten heels seem really precarious because they are too tiny.

Thank you. I was confused.
