    He's been slagging off Lisa Bonet for decades for being "ungrateful" for the opportunity to be part of the Cosby Show. I think she without a doubt knew enough to reject his attempts to take her under his wing and he retaliated by trying very publicly to ruin her career and paint her as an irrational bitch.

    Can we stop insisting that the fashions of years X-Z were especially silly and terrible? They all are, from the perspective of 10 years on. It's the nature of fashion — you can't prove that you're Fashionable if all you'll wear is classic pieces that never age. That's just you not putting the work in. The whole

    Because we live in a culture that habitually vents its hate on victims and the weak. We love winners and hate losers, and we don't want to hear your excuses, loser. We only like victims when they're telling us how everything is good again for them now, because they're not *victims,* they're *survivors.*

    Or, without starting the rumor that she was one of his victims, she may simply have known or suspected that he had inappropriate boundaries with young women he positioned himself as "mentoring," and simply wanted it to be very clear that she wasn't interested in being taken under his wing. No doubt that would have

    It's kind of a cute idea, actually. Like he's really going to go, "My god, I forgot about her NIPPLE! Man, that was a *great* nipple. Sure, my girlfriend has two of them, too, but...*that nipple.* It's just so much more amazing than it was in my memories..." And all of a sudden he'll re-evaluate his entire

    I think his "defense" is just to literally say nothing and let his supporters be the ones who accuse these 14 women of lying for — attention, I guess? For whatever reason Women Be Lying. These are all old enough incidents that I doubt anyone has evidence that the sex even happened, consensual or not, so he figures

    Exposing sockpuppet accounts is not doxxing. Publishing his address would have been doxxing.

    Yeah, I thought that was reasonably telling. Wait, a man who beats a woman half to death for not behaving as his property goes straight to the gendered slur when he means "show weakness"? It's almost as if contempt for women shows through people's words and deeds alike! But of course that's not true, because I'm

    "That's not a judgement"? The fuck outta here. Do you know what that word means?

    Damon wasn't in Chasing Amy, but now you've got me thinking about the alternate ending of Dogma — ALL HAIL THE SEXY APOCALYPSE. I think it's clear that this would have been a movie X4000 better than Left Behind.

    Of course, isn't he supposedly besties with Mark Ruffalo? So I think we have the whole range covered, in terms of his friends' politics.

    We should really put that one on the list. "I tried changing that one time and I still wasn't happy! That proves it's a waste of time to work on myself and I won't ever do it again." I laugh and laugh when I think about how many times I've trotted that excuse out.

    I really thought for a minute that Paul Rudd was under arrest for hiring hitmen. I was so glad I'd already started drinking this morning. (Come to think of it...maybe my reading comprehension would be better if I... Nah, fuck it.)

    I firmly believe that at least some of these have to be completely made up. WHICH ONES, THOUGH?

    Yeah, I think Beyonce has the sort of brain that's always planning the long-term, and is capable of the kind of control Madonna's had over her career. I rather think Christina Aguilera can do it/intends to do it, too. These are not women who are going to fuck around and lose decades off of their potential.

    I'm coming around to thinking June is a pedophile as well. Twice? Twice you just happened to get seriously involved with men who ended up doing time for molestation? That's hella bad luck, unless it's really not, you know?

    I love that the rationale for never cooking anything with more than five ingredients is "no one will ever compliment you as much as you need to be compensated for the work." As if people never cook nice stuff for company because — it's fun? No, it's only to extort praise, and if you only get three "this is really

    Protestants typically regard ordination as a sacrament, but at the same time pastors are *employees* of the congregation. They are hired by the Board of Directors of their church and can be fired by same for failure to perform effectively/appropriately. There are essentially three layers of the vocation: one's

    Taking a bold stance against poor English and degrading speech toward women, I see. Still, you're not entirely sticking the landing, I'm sorry to have to say.

    The strange thing is that most of these people are Christians, a religion that has a 2000 year history of insisting on the profound importance of offering charity to the poor. That those same people would get angry and insist they "don't take charity" is baffling to me. If giving charity is so great, who's supposed
