Let’s assume every episode of Stranger Things has 200 million unique viewers, making it more viewed than any other show ever.

Netflix’s competitors don’t worry about Nielsen ratings out of the goodness of their hearts, either.

Netflix doesn’t sell ads. Why would they give a fuck about Nielsen ratings? The ideal Netflix consumer, unlike the ideal NBC consumer, wouldn’t watch any shows, but would just continue paying because he forgot to cancel a free trial. Netflix is more like a gym than a tv network, business-wise.

I 👏KNOW 👏ITS 👏A 👏STYLE 👏BUT 👏IF 👏YOU 👏EMPHASIZE 👏EVERYTHING👏 YOURE 👏NOT REALLY 👏EMPHASIZING 👏ANYTHING. 👏EMPHASIS 👏WORKS 👏BY 👏CONTRAST. 👏YOU 👏CANT 👏STRESS 👏EVERY 👏SYLLABLE 👏AND 👏HAVE👏 IT 👏STILL 👏WORK 👏AS 👏A 👏MEANS 👏OF 👏EMPHASIZING 👏ANYTHING.

I’m tired of complicitly looking the other way. This has gone on far too long. I have to speak out. You don’t need a paragraph break between every sentence.

It also matters whether the NDA is with Harvey or with the Weinstein Company. The company has much stronger incentives now not to try to enforce the NDA against a rape victim, as they would like to keep doing business.

Weinstein could sue for breach of contract. But unless he won on summary judgment, there’d be discovery, which would mean McGowan’s lawyers would get to grill Weinstein under oath about whether he raped her. Weinstein probably does not want to do that, so he’d be better off not doing that.

Oh, I can definitely imagine myself being corrupted into being a murderer, or non-corruptly killing in self-defense.

I’m pretty sure I could spend all day exploring all my desires every day for eternity, and it might get pretty weird but it wouldn’t end in rape.

Then why else would removing the fear of consequences turn a normal man into a rapist?

Five years from now, a Weinstein-produced, Polanski-directed movie gets best picture.

It’s two hours of the same joke about getting wood for sheep.

This illustrates how undermining laws and norms about speech will hurt minorities way more than it would hurt, e.g., white supremacists.

You’re assuming that it’s normal to want to rape people, and that the only thing keeping men from rape is fear of consequences.

Knowing you can get away with it doesn’t turn you into a criminal.

There’s a lot of broke rapists too.

But maybe the men that need that advice are just pieces of shit and do in fact need ex ante rules to keep them from assaulting women. In which case, they should stop being pieces of shit.

Not taking meetings in hotel rooms is probably a good idea anyway though. Even shitty holiday inns have meeting spaces.

Eminem’s great and all, but guys, “Bodak Yellow” is terrible and should not be single of the year or anything at all.

If the unions treat their members like fungible rape dolls, it’s not a good union.
