“Gisele’s been doing it pretty much alone since the birth of their first child....

“the popular critique that Marvel movies are void of meaningful plot or societal relevance is objectively false unless you’re determined to see them that way.”

“England” is, like or not, a long-established metonym for the UK in much of the English speaking world. So, suck it Limey.

Sigh. Blackmail is “do this thing, or we will release this information that will blacken your reputation.” If they release it without coercing any quid pro quo from you, it’s just mudslinging. How does the guy know what a key bump is, but not blackmail?

Did those people go after her directly, or complain about the movie casting? Because there’s a big difference.

It must be so dispiriting to target celebrities and politicians - the most image-conscious people in the world - write misleading, uninformed and tendentious garbage about them, and still utterly fail to earn even a publicist’s note asking for a correction, because the publication you write for is so far beneath their…

It’s possible they paid to get in. Occam’s razor suggests they showed up, explained that they were there to deliver legal documents, showed an official looking card, and talked their way in.

Ah, the inevitable person who *thinks* they’re saying something worth typing about a show, but are *really* saying something not worth typing about themselves.

You’re just repeating the six degree nonsense the original poster identified. The interests of lawyers, as professionals looking for billable hours, are not the same as that of their clients: for them, stronger unions mean clients that will need their services more, not less.

Yes, exactly - even more information that would have made this article better.

Sometimes, snark is says something about the limitations of its target. Sometimes, snark says something about the limitations of its author:

Here: Let women wear what they want.

I didn’t mention race for a reason. A lot of people seem to think that being able to point to the fact that someone “broke the law” means they no longer need to make any further ethical decisions, or that they have any obligation to use their own judgement about what is right or wrong, or what is an appropriate…

Rather than assuming toxic masculinity, it could be that Rock hasn’t abdicated out his moral agency in favor of that of the LAPD, and genuinely did not want to subject Smith to the LAPD’s and the justice system notion of an appropriate response.

When they intend to be understood as a slur, yes.
