Welcoming him to the world of men who date women. I hope someone’s told him how shouty it is in here and how he has to have a raft of opinions on Paul Thomas Anderson films ready to go at any second. 

I agree with Rich that Bella is interesting, but unfortunately as less of a personality or artist than as an object.

Here is someone who seems to think that living online is something she has to do. That to do anything else would somehow be a betrayal of the self. That may be true for her, but it does not make her an…

Though I’m cishet male with no real interest in putting on drag, I have my name picked out for if ever I should have the desire to put on clogs, a blousy peasant top, flattering mom jeans, and a Strand bookstore tote: Carol Gardens.

This feels oddly pornographic.

Yes, as an editor or advisor you should get your writers behind the idea that “killing” is the legally/journalistically appropriate wordage within the context of straight, just-the-facts reports on the situation. HOW you get your writers behind that is a different story and, from what it sounds like, where this…

There must be a switch on a fusebox somewhere that turns off the Greek system. 

Sorry you went through something so shitty and scary. The Romantic Gesture is such a toxic trap outside of a healthy situation. We men are trained to think that Heroic Works are Good. They, of course, can be, but only when we’re acting like decent human beings to begin with. Lotta people forget the first step.

Let’s not forget his race baiting!

Always hard to judge a period piece (or any drama really) by its trailer. Obviously, this one is selling “sexy ghost story” pretty hard, but we’ll have to see what it delivers. Also, I dig Ben Wheatly (A Field in England, Free Fire, High Rise) and his approaches to things, so I’m willing to give him the benefit of the…

Who or what is the interesting/delightful person/thing Garrett and Emma are looking at with their clear, crisp eyes and memorable noses? A photo assistant jangling keys? A friend doing jumping jacks? A puppy drinking water from the tap on a countertop? I want facts.

Hey, I only brought it up because it’s something I’ve been corrected on! We’re in the same boat.

Good idea. Here’s T’Challa sucker punching Hate Monger (Adolf Hitler’s masked clone).

Not to “Ah, but” but ah, but people from Spain are considered Hispanic by most other Hispanics, but they can be white looking as hell. That’s not my point tho.

Brazil has its own complex and unique racial system—one that has been used to exploit and suppress, but should also be celebrated and explored—something that…

Ironically for someone deeply obsessed with “hard power” and pushing its limits within the American political system, Trump’s truth strength within the borders of the U.S. comes from “soft power”—that is, the ability to influence or inspire action rather than directly commit it. I doubt this is intentional on his…

But this isn’t strictly her personal life—much of it centers on official internal protocol/management stuff in the East Wing. Sure, someone who was only a pal would be going beyond the pale by publishing. This isn’t that, tho.

Agreed, but only less repulsive because she appears to wield far less power. Were the scales reversed, I’m sure you and I would have different opinions. 

Watched this more times than I perhaps should have for analysis and, yeah, seems to be an open-hand, WWE level slap—BUT IT DOESN’T MATTER, HE PUT HER ON GROUND WITH IT FOR DOING FUCK ALL. He assaulted her, hard, because he got pissed. The arrangement of his fingers at the time is of no relevance and the cops even…

Just writing to say that I used to work with Cressa Beer, who actually created the stop-motion short. I’ve watched her own successful transition with a lot of joy and pride. She’s a very brave, very talented person who’s come into her own professionally and artistically at the exact same moment she’s manifested the…

He’s legitimately done some great stuff, particularly when it comes to non-celebrity-focused work in social-justice fields. It’s a complicated legacy.
