Deadwood is so underrated. I know it was critically acclaimed but it never got the widespread traction it deserved. The last season’s dialogue got a little Shakespearean /unnatural for me but I still experience my recollections of the characters in a visceral way that speaks to it’s depth & brilliance... the movie was…

I didn’t say it was OK but it was most certainly not sexual assault, coerced sex, or rape. It was cringey to read & I wouldn’t have enjoyed it or felt good about it but I don’t think he should have been canceled like he was. If anyone deserves a second chance in this dept, it’s him.

It really wasn’t much worse than that though...

*“Every Republican candidate for president should support a ban on abortion before 15 weeks as a minimum nationwide standard,” Pence told an evangelical crowd at the Faith & Freedom Coalition’s Road to Majority Conference.*

Very good point! If any of these men could have publicly declared remorse or compassion for how the women perceived their encounter and acknowledged room for improvement regardless of their own take on the situation, the offense can perhaps be forgiven eventually. But flat out denial & dismissal doesn’t pass the sniff…

For the record, I’m inclined to believe most sexual assault allegations but I’m pretty sure Asiz Ansari’s career hasn’t recovered (and from my reading of the accuser’s blog, all he was accused of was being a shitty lay). Hadn’t heard about Snoop Dogg allegations. That breaks my heart. The rest of the men in your list,…

Perhaps the reason they’ve responded this way is because hearing those accusations validated their own sense that he was a creep, or resonated with a similar experience they had/witnessed of him in another situation. You don’t work with someone for 6 years and just “blindly” believe something like this. There could be…

I know, right? I don’t know the time line but could see the cause & effect of Carlson Sr’s extremely public crusade against Liz Carmichael & the mom’s leaving going either way. 

Yes, she did.

Are you familiar with the rabid vendetta Tucker’s dad waged against Liz Carmichael, the trans woman who invented the three-wheeled Dale automobile in the 70s? The obsessive viciousness with which he harassed her is completely unhinged so it’s not much of a leap to imagine a man who would do that to a *complete stranger…

Ballet dancers are coached to eat cotton balls or toilet paper to keep their weight down as well.

Milquetoast is the correct spelling. I believe Donnie spelled it milktoast.

Thank you. I responded similarly above thread.

You’re right. Vaccine “injuries” are real and do happen. They’re called, “side effects” and they are listed on the patient insert/prescribing information. 

Still wacky but brilliant in a less ditzy way - Gentlemen Broncos. 

Try Sally Jesse Raphael

Can we just agree they’re both atrocious?

This is the correct take. She got upset with their clothes so she told them not to do x and they didn't but she still got upset and told them to do y... They did y but that still didn’t stop the hysterical reactions & manipulative bullshit... 

That was a catering company being overseen by the house staff. That wasn’t the house staff itself. 

Honestly, mistakes are good learning experiences that make you a better CXO (or whatever job you’re in). I’m not saying Ken & Rome aren’t completely incompetent nepo-babies but they were still more qualified to run Waystar than her. Was it ever made clear why Shiv historically hasn’t had roles like her brothers’ in…
