100% this is Disney bringing all the IP back in-house in preparation for becoming the 800-pound gorilla of cord-cutting streaming services. Say all you like about contracts... Disney does leveraged persuasion like nobody on earth. I recall an interview decades back, when they acquired The Muppets, wherein a Henson…

You’re like one of those guys who says “if he just followed the police officer’s instructions.” No, man. Just because it’s a rule doesn’t mean it’s right.

It keeps growing on me. I’m hoping there’s a nonprescription topical cream that’ll clear that right up.

I get that there are people who enjoy green chile, but even for them I’m not sure suspending it in a chicken medium is really sharp marketing.

Take your star.

Thank you Ivar’s.

Come on, Deadspin. Now that you have the facts, the headline needs updating, too. Don’t sink to this level of clickbait. You’re better than this.

On an unrelated but funny aside his (adult) son is named “Duey”.

And let’s be clear, he hates saying this *not at all*. He went out of his way to say it.

My friends “overfitting” and “small sample size” would like a word.

I think they’re going the full Papa John’s route with it. They’re gonna use this photo every time they ever write about him. I mean, not this *exact* photo, because they’re making it a tiny bit redder every time they use it.

Deadspin gives me life.

Take your fucking stars, the both of you.

I know how appealing this photo is to support this narrative, but the women behind him are all his supporters/Stockholm-syndrome enablers. They’re wearing that face in this photo because they’re reacting indignantly, along with him, to something a Democratic Senator has said.

There are so very many other unflattering…

Porque no los dos? If it were just about achieving a conservative bench majority, they could easily withdraw him and name another. No, they’re doubling down because they feel we must be defeated, we must know our place, we must remember that they are in charge and they own us.

I was about to go all the way off on you before I caught the whole joke. Subtle. Well played.

No, by sticking with him through the allegations, they get a heavy-duty twofer: not only do they gain a staunch-conservative majority on the bench with which to fuck us for decades, they also send the strongest possible message to other victims: reporting will cost you dearly, and your attacker will suffer no…

If they put this man on the Supreme Court, it effectively tells women that coming forward to report sexual violence is pointless, boys will be boys, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

I’ll offer a plausible way for you to believe them both: he was blackout drunk, and so he does not remember, and so he believes what he’s saying is true.

Right? It’s straight out of central casting.

100%. There’s plenty of us posting up to bear witness on your behalf. Part of why they’re doing this is specifically to re-traumatize you, to remind you the price of challenging rich-old-white-male supremacy. Don’t help them.
