I think this situation is just another data point in demonstrating Trump’s white supremacist mindset. (Not that you or I need another data point, but...)

As most Americans know, including, I hope, Donald Trump, Puerto Rico is part of America.
It’s a more complicated scenario than just “he was a creepy dude who basically objectified women” although he most certainly was. I wrote a pretty extensive paper on early Playboy and the rise of men’s magazines in college, and women did draw benefits from Hefner’s philosophy and the culture he tried to promote. He…
A lot of men got applauded for this, and I’ll even give them the small credit that the sexual revolution was a revolution. But not so much for women entirely because of men like Hefner who saw the loosening of sexual mores as a an open door for them to fuck whoever they wanted, but ultimately still wanted to control…
This. I know Holly Madison had a serious axe to grind but I couldn’t help but believe a lot of what she wrote about in Down the Rabbit Hole. Yes, he was a champion of free speech (and civil rights...?) but in the end he kept women hostage and was celebrated for maintaining a chauvinist lifestyle in which women were…
Actions speak louder than words.
Yeah, Holly Madison writes at length about how the whole mansion smelled of dog piss and was completely run-down because Hefner hated change and didn’t allow any refurbishments. She also discusses the girls’ drug use quite a bit - mostly crystal meth and cocaine, apparently. I will also never forget the creepy…
If literally any other man did this, would we applaud him for being an ‘icon’?
Of all the post about Hugh’s death, Jez’s was the one I wanted to see most as to see how he was remembered. He has a complex legacy: publisher of some of the best authors of the 20's century, great art, amazing photographers (Annie Leibovitz, Herb Ritts, Helmut Newton among others), insightful interviews, early…
Looks like the only two religious organizations I would consider joining are the Quakers and the Satanists. Good job, satanists!
This is exactly how I felt when I found out about the story. Like how the hell did I not know this?
I’m actually amazed this documentary is even happening. Talking about an unknown black woman’s rape. Damn. This is the history we’re supposed to forget (like it was 400 years in the past), even though she’s still alive. Even moreso we’re supposed to forget it because it happened to someone ordinary and it was…
No one but the diehards will admit that he never wanted to be President. His kids never even bothered to register as Republicans so they could vote for him in the primary. He didn’t bother to think about staffing his administration or make any plans beyond the MAGA slogan. This was a PR tour disguised as a…
Immunity and half a billion and you are sold I’m sure. He’s not liquid enough for more than a billion to be remotely necessary
“These dogs are naturally pugnacious”
Could the Olsen twins have been far ahead of us in their quest for mastery of a Baba Yaga aesthetic?
Facts = “whatever the police say why would they lie???”
That bit was so flipping stupid and totally out of place in what was otherwise an excellent movie.
Just saw this movie over the weekend. I was floored. She seems to down play this honor but I think she earned every brick used to make it.
