Is there a word in some other language that captures the feeling “I always hated this guy, and I feel both sad and smug knowing they are the trash heap I suspected they were”?

With both Howard and Robin being on the right side of the issue... even more astounding.

Look, what I did wasn’t murder-murder. That absolutely wasn’t murder, because when you use the word murder you mean I mashed his head into the shaggy carpet with the tire lever. Don’t just throw that word around. What I did was more like a gentle ushering of his consciousness through the tunnel that reaches into the

I’m so relieved that people have started to notice his shit because in the ‘90s I felt like I was the only one who disliked him for all his obvious problems. I guess the ‘90s was a decade where we forgot that womens and racial issues mattered and Tarantino types got passes but so glad that maybe time is up on these

He didn’t rape a 13-year-old. It was statutory rape...he had sex with a minor. That’s not rape. To me, when you use the word rape, you’re talking about violent, throwing them down—it’s like one of the most violent crimes in the world. You can’t throw the word rape around. It’s like throwing the word ‘racist’ around.

I’m still enraged. Men rarely get prosecuted for raping and/or murdering women. But women get prosecuted for defending themselves. And they actually get harsher penalties for it. Fucking insanity. I hate this world.

I think the suggestion is that Tarantino was projecting his own feelings towards Thurman at that stage of the shoot, and that’s why he personally volunteered to spit at her instead of using another actor.

No doubt, this is more a reflection of Maureen Dowd’s poor writing, but I found the piece very confusing, with details that were jarring and unnecessary (her father thinks she’s a reincarnated buddhist goddess?), and lack of other details that would have been helpful. Like, Weinstein is a fucking monster, we know

“the NRA should be thrilled by these cases of women using guns to defend themselves against abusers”

Uh . . . by your “equation,” white women who have been assaulted by powerful men would be victims of racism. And, quite frankly, it’s NOT that simple. It never is.

What do you mean “IF”? This has been done to Hillary a thousand times over. Have you never been on the Internet before?

Seems like a great start!

I feel like SJP is the woman who just always has to be friends with everyone and needs to be liked...she wants to talk to you about her personal life and personal problems after knowing you for two weeks and she doesn’t understand when others don’t have that same enthusiasm for sharing their lives.

the guy is scum, but that literally is not the definition of hostile work environment per your link. I mean the definition was in the first line.

My cat travels with me because he needs daily meds. He sits in his carrier under my seat along side my purse, taking up no space and meows a couple of times during take off and landing. No skin off anyone’s butt there.

Service animals and emotional support animals are not the same.

Agreed. Peacocks go out of their way to inconvenience people. I’m just stunned that someone has found one helpful

Come at me, but this “emotional support animal” is bullshit. If you need help with flight anxiety, take a tranquilizer or booze, like a normal sane person. Animals - no exceptions, dogs, cats, whatever! - have no business inside a passengers cabin.

Which laws are they breaking?
