1) ScarJo is an incredibly famous and well known actress who was amongst the highest paid for a few years. At that level, you can turn down things and share as much blame as casting. She’s not out here bussing tables part time and landing her first big break, this is irresponsible and her response is dissrespectful.

She got paid, she doesn’t care.

She’s a producer on the project too. Take a seat.

Because her taking it actively prevents trans people from using their own voices in a system where they already experience extraordinary marginalization and erasure. She’s an active participant in the oppression of trans folks by taking this role. How is that not clear?

Ohhhhh. I thought it was “when they go low we get high.” I’ve been doing it wrong for the last year and a half.

and if we lived inside an Aaron Sorkin script, “when they go low, we go high” might actually work. But this is the real world and every time we go high, they go even lower and its time for that shit to stop.

The West Wing loves to pretend that the other side plays by the same rules we do. Maybe in 1999 they did. But those rules no longer apply, so fuck high minded debate. The Trump Administration isn’t trying to debate us. They’re trying to kill us.

I can live with herpes.

I’m more on board the idea of 500 Days of General Strike, but whatever works I guess.

Can we have a 500 Days of “Eat Shit, Ivanka” along the lines of Gawker’s 500 Days of feckless whatshername?

There’s that old Gawker feeling.

Right?! Van Jones should know better.

If it was product placement then it would have been even more annoying because he didn’t make it clear in the tweet.

It seemed like looking at the trailer, there is a zero real elephant in Dumbo. I wonder, is this how they’re going to Lion King as well? (I almost wrote Loin King, which I can only assume is the Lion King porn parody.)

I would argue that reporting on this is a further violation of Perry, whether she was or was not a victim of Luke’s. It doesn’t feel like she had any agency in this breaking and that’s gross even if she’s a public figure I’m not particularly interested in

I think the thing people are taking issue with is being a famous person with thousands of followers, and being like, “Who’s this asshole, am I right America?” about someone who is clearly less famous than you are, and in a public forum where that person could read it. I just found it sort of tacky.

Yeah, he’s in the same category for me as Bill Murray - the “Celebs That People Love But Are Actual Dickweeds In Real Life And I Can’t Understand Why Folks Like Them” category. Or, to make things easier, CTPLBAADIRLAICUWFLT.

I usually attach the email and write “see below”

Oh my god. Her response really is absolutely perfect.

I know it’s assault, but sometimes you have to take a stand. someone should have kicked his fucking teeth in. When I was younger me and my moms were homeless for a few months, the mental toll it takes on you is staggering and the fact you have nothing to look forward to. White people in this fucking country are…
