I just need everyone to know that my brain processed this headline as “Elizabeth Smart Accuses Ex-Boyfriend Thanos of Abuse.”

Can I just say that I am so used to powerful men getting away with terrible acts, that I had to read this twice to make sure I hadn’t mis-read?

“It’s shit like this that makes me embarrassed to call myself liberal.”

This is by far the most common and short sighted argument that I see. Wringing hands worried about what the “other side” will think or do.

I’m 31 and when I see a teen I simply can’t view them that way. They look so damn young to me. And Jimmy Bennet looked like a young boy, at 37 you find that attractive? It’s why I just can’t with 40 yr old men dating 18 yr olds.... why????!!!! Even if they’re legal it just has a creep factor I can’t get over.

I NEED the 3rd season of Chewing Gum like now! She’s fantastic. I think I’d watch anything that she’s in.

Please tell me that Grimes had an eye opening moment and realized what the fuck her ass was doing. 

I just think good people should be in charge of everything (well.... smart, good people) and a majority of those people are probably women. That said... I’m heartbroken over this.

Since I can't tell if this is a joke, in further related news:

It’s impossible to tell in the darkest timeline. 

Nothing puts a fatass racist off more than chafing those buttery thighs of theirs.

Yes. Mendocino county has a lot of poverty. Sure there are some people who have lake houses or wineries or whatever up there, but it’s mostly poor to lower-middle class rural folks. It’s also very remote and isolated. The people who died in Redwood Valley last year weren’t vacationing yuppies, they were part of the com…

That’s why there’s Ouzo.  :D 

Johansson is a producer, and ABSOLUTELY a powerful enough star to publicly say “this role should be filled by a trans actor” and be listened to. This imaginary situation where Johansson suddenly becomes expendable despite being fairly recently among the best-paid actresses in Hollywood is a bizarre fantasy that…

Because she’s potentially taking the role from a trans actor and she seems quite unapologetic about it. At least Tambor pretended to care that he took a role that could have been played by a trans person.

Because her taking it actively prevents trans people from using their own voices in a system where they already experience extraordinary marginalization and erasure. She’s an active participant in the oppression of trans folks by taking this role. How is that not clear?

I literally can’t imagine how (much more) awful high school would have been if Facebook were around then. Thanks for this...nostalgia?

I can only speak for myself here, but I was relieved because it means people can’t ignore or excuse his death as a relapse. His death was shocking to a lot of people but not those who have had severe struggles with depression. I hate when there’s a “reason” uncovered that allows people to retreat back into denial…

The Richard Gere, 68, “wanting to start a family,” if true, makes me mad-sad.
