As a guy, I just want to say that this is tough. I want to be clear that the guys who did this stuff was wrong, but men are left in a Catch-22. I’m sure I will be eviscerated, but here goes the reasoning.

By declaring the opioid crisis a “National Health Emergency” rather than a “National Emergency”, the funds available are only those in the HHS emergency fund (rather than the virtually limitless funds Congress can allocate under a “National Emergency” declaration).

I admire the chutzpah it takes to try to make a buck off your famous sibling and call THEM Pushy.

Congratulations* on their long relationship!

...okay.

There are so many things wrong with this statement, I can’t even (and thankfully someone already ungreyed you so I don’t have to feel guilty about responding. Even if we were to assume there was something wrong with The Root’s discussion about non-intersectional white feminism (which there isn’t because the problems…

This legislator simply can’t handle the fact that this kid is her intellectual superior.

Who would have thought that Quentin Tarantino would be the first person to admit he knew Weinstein was crossing the line and he should have been a better person and not worked with him?

I’m fairly certain there will be a slew of Republicans running against Trump if he makes it to 2020. Kasich will be one of them.

It’s a little more complicated than that. Farrow had been working on the piece for a year. He went to NBC first when his story was completed but they turned him down.

And once again James Corden shows himself to be a complete prick on national TV. It’s almost like it was Ruth Jones who was the more talented of the pair when they created Gavin & Stacey yet I’m not surprised he was able to steal all the success from her. Just watch it and look how Smithy ended up becoming the central…

I had a roommate in University from Biloxi, MS (this was in Canada). When I asked her about her hometown she told me that racism really wasn’t a problem because the black people did the black people stuff and the white people did the white people stuff. I was like, uh...

I feel so old. Raise your hand if you were watching season 3 when Keith was kicked off for pattern books!

Julian Assange, another rapist, calling out Clinton for not jumping out to condemn fast enough? Fuck him and fuck you as well. Trick ass bitch.

not to mention Rosanna Arquette, who’s entire family is in the industry

Paltrow & Jolie are from Hollywood families. If Blythe Danner’s daughter and John Voight’s daughter didn’t feel comfortable speaking up for fear of repercussions, what does that tell you about the level of power Harvey Weinstein had over the entertainment industry? I hope this illustrates for people how deep this…

I was listening to 538's podcast and was shocked/glad to hear Nate Silver talking about how the press should be spending more time discussing his mental capacity to hold office.
