It’s actually kind of rare when uber popular movies win Best Picture. If you look at results for the past few decades, the two you’ve mentioned are outliers. For the most part, the Academy awards artsy dramatic films that get a boost because they’re nominated and are backed by huge studio campaigns to assure they…

I’ve seen a few of these articles posted and they never provide any actual details.  I don’t care how many All Star games or WNBA titles you’ve won.  Pay isn’t a result of accolades, it’s a result of value generation.  Hard to say how much someone earns without knowing how much value they generate in relation to the…

They make a smaller percentage of revenue BECAUSE there’s less revenue to be shared. Operating costs don’t increase 1 to 1 with revenue, so the NBA has a smaller percentage of costs. If the WNBA bumped player salary to 50% like the NBA then they would be operating at a loss. It’s simple. I’d love for WNBA players to…

I’m the highest paid player on the Dallas Wings, and my salary is in the low six figures. [Harrison Barnes, the highest paid player on the Dallas Mavericks, made $24 million last season.] He’s definitely younger than me. Do you know his stats? Was he an All-Star? I mean, it doesn’t matter. But last year, I was First…

I know this isn’t going to go well but is it possible that they only receive 20% of revenue because the WNBA as a whole is NOT as profitable as the NBA? They have to pull less revenue because the cost of running the league is equal to the NBA but the revenue is not equal to the NBA?  I could be mistaken but last time…

Speaking as a Gen X’er, nearly everyone I know feels this way.

You’re fighting a losing battle. No human can live up to the standards of Jezebel. I’m saying this as a very liberal person. This kind of crap doesn’t endear anyone to their movement. It rallies their base with fuel to be pissed off about everyday, alienates their allies on the left, and prevents those in the middle…

Not in a situation where two people are sober and actively making out. Do all of you live in a world where sex is a series of command prompts asking if you’d like to continue or not? He wasn’t an employer and wasn’t in a position of power, at any point during that story she could say no and judging by the texts they…

You’re forgetting it’s Jezebel where it’s their undying duty to try and make things seem more important than they are.

It’s not a completed work, it’s very much so a comic trying out new jokes to see what hits. There has always been enough respect between comedy and those that write about comedy to not spoil jokes that are still being tested (aka not on tour).

You are remembering correctly, but a lot of the commenters and writers here never were very reasonable about this.

I don’t even understand this article. Was Jezebel mad that Vulture changed their story to not ruin his comedy set, so they decided to rehash it to actively try to ruin it instead?

This seems like an unneccessary article

The problem here wasn’t harassment, it’s that aziz couldnt satisfy this random groupie, who then felt vindictive about the wasted evening and lashed out. Let’s call a spade a spade and let the man move on with his life, and hopefully he learns how to use his dick for the better.

Todd can write circles around Randall. And most of the current crop of AVClub writers, really.

The DA doesn’t have the authority to “mandate” anything. The DA can state that the sentence for crime A is X, but can only make recommendations to the judge. This idiot’s defense lawyer can then challenge or offer possible mitigating evidence. 

‘Delightful interviewees’? So we’re pretending this shit is cute or something?

That’s the only thing that’s going to make any difference. It’s like basic harassment laws don’t apply once you’ve gone into a private business.

1) Let not even go there with the whole DNC email bs, Prachi, ESPECIALLY with the Bernie Bros and that 53% of White women voted for Trump. Black women-you know, the ones who actually showed the fuck up to vote for a woman who could have started progressive policy and not turn our government into flaming dumpster pit-…

Haiti deforested their own land. It’s called “cut and get out.” They chopped down the trees to build housing. Private property rights are almost non-existent. The government owns most of the land. This is partly why natural disasters are so devastating to them. If you can’t own the land you build your home on, you…
