total sidenote, but what subreddit are those screenshots from? the bitchy celeb tea, it calls to me.

Per Claudia on Jan 9th, “my dad dipping this morning saying he wants nothing to do w our family and leaving for good.” She also replied to someone who commented “Haven’t seen George in a while.” with “yeah me either lol.”

Same. Perkins baffled me with this spicy take last week:

Ugh, I wish there was an edit button. I forgot to include pro-dommes (dominatrixes) among the varieties of sex worker they should talk to. Never sleep on BDSM; it’s one of the most popular services out there. Super devoted following. And in the most respectful way possible, guys who get off on submitting to their…

So basically it’s like the porn industry was up until 15ish years ago?

We def should be, yet I still frequently see comments complaining about how inconvenient it is to use Taylor’s gender neutral pronouns...

Katie, I know I’m way late & you’ll more than likely never see this anyway. But if an adaptation/remake is mere scenic drivel for the true Narcissus (or whatever) heads in the house vs. MARVELOUS for us newbies, maybe note that very minor & totally insignificant discrepancy up top next time? Just a thought. :)

White women deeply deserve to be held accountable for their complicity & participation in perpetuating systemic racism, but LEAST of all by white men. Tbh there are relatively few men of any racial/ethnic identity who can pull it off seamlessly. (Because misogyny is— obviously— not limited to white men. Or even…

Simon and Pelecanos keep saying it’s about the women, too, in the episode’s behind-the-episode featurette and post-finale interviews. Tbh leaves a sour taste in my mouth given that the show concluded with an extended sequence devoted to telling us in no uncertain terms that this was really Vince/Franco’s story all…

My exact policy. Which is wild, cuz it’s situations where I’ve had legitimate cause to fear for my life but decided it wasn’t ‘serious’ enough to risk an extrajudicial execution over. Cuz what if my fight-or-flight/adrenaline-fueled terror was unwarranted? Like, I’ve really played fast & loose with my own survival…

Welp, just went back and checked the exact phrasing. Turns out, you right. Critiquing Perkins (or most any GMG writer) for sloppy editorializing seems all but sisyphean at this point, but fair play to ya.

Nah, given (1) the demographic that perpetrates the overwhelming majority of mass shootings and (2) the controversy surrounding Joker, it’s 100% where they were going with that.

Oddly enough, this past Sunday’s episode of Succession also featured the emergence of a female dom/male sub dynamic between two established characters. Much like Krystal/Cody it was initially shocking yet makes total sense in retrospect. Interesting/fitting that both shows are fundamentally concerned with the…

Sorry, edited (added to) my comment prior to seeing your reply. I’m not letting Heckerling off the hook. I’m saying that based on the information we have, Lorne is not blameless. He is at best complicit. The extent of his portion of the blame depends on Heckerling’s actions between when she hit on Kattan and when…

Lorne is the one who reprimanded Kattan and framed playing to Amy’s sexual interest as a professional obligation. It’s unknown as to how he found that Kattan rebuffed Heckerling’s initital advance, or whether Heckerling herself considered it a dealbreaker. Both were out of line, but Lorne is the one who explicitly…

Huh. That sure is some kind of take on something.

So, what I’m getting from you is: Kelly’s victims don’t deserve justice because another monster’s victims haven’t yet gotten theirs? And there’s no public good in taking one monster off the street if there’s other monsters still out there?

Oop. So you DO understand the concept, you just have “issues” with KTSE.

You’re, like, really good at taking your own advice! Oh...wait...you didn’t actually. :)
