It’s possible she didn’t know until now. She’s only been with G/O Media for 10 months. The Anne Hathaway hate was almost 10 years ago, and I don’t think any of the current staff was here then.

“The term itself is a way to excuse what you said or did as not actually wrong but just politically inconvenient.”

It wasn’t this batch of writers that was shitting on her.  Please correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think any of the staff from 2013 is still around.

Biden can’t work miracles, certainly not with this Senate. Maybe my bar is sadly low, but I’m pleased to see him doing good work on this issue within the boundaries of the Executive. I don’t care if it’s about mobilizing pro-choice voters for the midterms. It’s still the right thing to do.

I honestly have no idea how you combat such deliberate manipulation like this. It’s legal to lie and falsely frame someone’s words and spread it like an infection. What can possibly be done here?

Yeah, simple rule: If you use the term “politically incorrect” in your apology... you’re not apologizing. The term itself is a way to excuse what you said or did as not actually wrong but just politically inconvenient. It’s the difference between saying “I’m sorry you were upset” instead of “I’m sorry for what I said.”

I apologize. I understand that’s not a good look.

Unfortunately, you say a lot of crass, politically incorrect things while you’re in the military and I still hadn’t grown out of that at the time

How lovely that his defense for this includes outing an ex-gf’s sex preferences. He may not have mentioned her by name, but there’s no way her family and friends won’t know who he’s talking about.

“I’m sure you’ve all seen the attack ad against me about a quote that I said five years ago when I left the Army, which was unfortunate. Basically, I don’t want to get too deep it, but I had an ex-girlfriend who liked to be choked during sex and I resent that I even have to talk to you about this in a church,” Skarlat…

There’s a whole culture with acting auditions where you dress to suggest the part slightly etc.
This is a cute story given her hollywood goth girl personna.

It’s not a question of “Can Kevin fire Ryan?” Because that is a giant “duhhh”, of course he CAN. But he won’t, because 1. Coogler is pretty good at what he does and 2. What BobW said previous.

Perfectly said.

Democrats need to go all in on abortion rights. It’s an issue they can win with...

Yeah, OK, a white executive is going to fire one of the most respected black directors going today because said black director wouldn’t recast his lead?

On what fucking planet do you live? 

“Thankfully, Politico spoke to some people who pointed out the obvious: Abortion is not a winning issue for Republicans.” Is this just an odd rhetorical flourish, or am I just failing to see the reason people who care about women should be grateful to Politico for managing basic journalism on this particular story?

These forced birthers call us “extremists” when every damn day I read about another horror story that a woman and her family are put thru needlessly b/c of these scientifically illiterate religious zealots pushing their faith where it doesn’t belong. But yeah, we’re the “extremists” 

The recast crowd never seem to be able to answer this:
1) What do you do with Coogler, who doesn’t want to do it? You think Feige is going to fire him? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

2) What idiot actor is going to take on that role? Why would you want to do that to a guy? 

Is the numismatics community as racist as the Star Wars and Lord of the Rings fandoms? We’ll soon find out.

I mentioned on another post that everything old is new again, but I really didn’t mean that to include bringing back the Phyllis Schlafly school of conservative women. Because Lake saying she doesn’t want to be equal to or conquer men while also running for the highest office in her state is sure as hell the kind of…
