A better puzzle is why Bungie decided to make ballistic logs you haven’t used DISAPPEAR AFTER THE WEEKLY RESET, FOR NO GOOD REASON.

“And I really can’t see the Garofalo of the early 90s - the alt comic feminist - allowing a comic of that generation to skate so easily if they’d done something like that to her.”

Look, I get standing up for a friend. But compare this to what Marc Maron said about C.K., also longtime friends. He had asked C.K. privately about the (at the time) rumors and Louis said they weren’t true. When C.K. admitted to the behavior, Maron said on the podcast that Louis had straight up lied to him and fuck…

Ha!  This is an excellent point. I remember some of the pearl clutching about a BLACK SPIDER-MAN?!? when that series was announced. I remember thinking “What the fuck are people talking about?  There is a Spider-Man that is a TALKING PIG.  Never mind all the nonsense with clones. I honestly love the Miles Morales…

This. I had to explain to a co-worker how inappropriate it was for him to comment on women’s bodies after he got shut down and was feeling salty about it. I told him about a couple I knew that had miscarried late in their pregnancy, and because of their religious beliefs, chose not to have an abortion. People would…

I’m going to go out on a limb here, but I don’t think Buckey who was living in his parents backyard had much to do with creating the modern world. Sounds more like he was mostly sponging off it. Like many so many of these looser... 

Brian Michael Bendis created Miles Morales in 2011, and Riri Williams in 2016. Where is the derision you claim exists? I’ll wait.

Disagree. Maybe they don’t get a gold star, but I appreciate any ally who wants to use their voice to shed light. We have to start somewhere and I feel like if we’re always shitting all over people for trying (well), we ain’t gonna go nowhere.

I’m just here to applaud the outcome of that story.

I personally agree, the only place I’ve ever asked a woman how’s she’s doing with her pregnancy is when I happened to be sitting in the the waiting area of my wife’s OBGYN this lady looked about 40 weeks along and was walking around with her hands on her lower back practicing her labor breathing.

It’s only “ironic” if you believe that Black characters worth rallying around can only be created and written by Black people, and if you believe that Black people also believe this, which is absurd. It also blatantly ignores the contributions of people like Christopher Priest (who is credited with creating the more…

I mean, for the sake of your argument, I certainly wouldn’t attempt to strike up that conversation with anyone who didn’t appear to be in their third trimester and actively stroking their belly, and even then...I’d prefer to wait for them to bring it up. In my experience, most women happy to be pregnant bring it up…

Not only is standard size in Hollywood 0 as Roo said, the rule in Hollywood is that stars are never supposed to gain weight for anything other than a role that requires them to gain weight.

I think people only ask it because while explicit social etiquette may be “never ask” I think most people’s learned behavior is “If you are standing around in a situation where small talk is the humanly relatable thing to do, then someone being pregnant can easily be a topic of conversation and pregnant people…

What the fuck is he supposed to do? Stage a coup? Overthrow the CIA and the courts? Personally bring murdered black men back to life through the power of celebrity?

A woman I worked with had a similar situation—it turned out she had a massive ovarian cancer, and it made her look very pregnant, and people were asking her left right and centre. If I remember right, the tumour weighed over ten pounds. It was crazy. (Happily, she recovered from the cancer and had her first child…

People don’t already know this?! I thought this was obvious. Don’t be asking people about their bodies. Not simply because you might confuse real babies with food babies, but also because it’s their damn body and that shit is personal.

I once worked with a woman who looked pregnant when she started working. I never mentioned anything because why would a young guy talk to a woman about pregnancy? That's just creepy. But considering we were around the public a lot she was asked how far along she was all the time. Sadly she had a gall bladder problem…

There is a gigantic difference between handing out “cookies” and actively insulting and criticizing an ally for something you claim to want more people to do. If Tiffany Haddish told the exact same joke you’d be falling all over yourself to congratulate her for the incisive yet poignant take down of white supremacy. 

Imma let this one pass. If everything is an outrage, then nothing gets to be one
