It’s not just men/dudes that are upset over what happened to CH; not because of CH but because of the unfair ability to make a statement and have it taken 100% at it’s word without learning as much of the full story as possible. I am a woman and I fear for my husband who is a good man I have known for 25 years but can…

I’m really sorry that happened to you. Hopefully I gave you some insight into abusive relationships. It seems absolutely insane that it ever happened to me now, some almost 20 years later, but it’s taken almost 20 years to get there. The hardest part is forgiving myself for it happening, and not blaming myself.…

This women is just so disingenuous, first she accuses “a mildly successful podcaster to a powerhouse CEO of his own company.”) like everybody wouldn’t figure out is was chris hardwick, c’mon. Then she was like I have evidence of abuse but I’m not going to release it and I’m taking a break from social media cause I…

They have a character like that.. Dr Leonard McCoy. Also one of the Reg Barkley episodes touched on much of that, and if anyone knows how the sausage is made, he does.

The official “word of God” on the subject is that, no, everything necessary to guarantee continuity of consciousness and make you you - up to and including a soul if such things exist - goes along for the ride, and the transports aren’t just basically fax machines that auto-shred the original.* But boy do I wish the…

Good. Also, let this be a reminder to some Black and Brown folks out here - the MAGA movement does not include you.

If it comes to light that she was the one who emptied the clip into him. I am first in line to donate to her defense fund. #sorrynotsorry

Exactly. Fuck him.

Sometimes when you force a pregnant woman to put oven cleaner in her vagina as pushiment for not cheating, bad things happen to you.

This makes so much sense because Fox Sports has notoriously awful audio technicians working the relatively few golf tournaments they get. Presumably, Murdoch assigns his bastard great-great-grandchildren to the Fox Sports TV audio department to ‘learn the business’ in real-time, so they set up some mics and go…

Having a new IP doesn’t mean that they need to cast off the old. Probably when they started this, they saw Bioware having two existing massively successful IPs with Mass Effect and Dragon Age. Then Andromeda happened.

He did pragmatically admit the reality of the situation. If he kept going out to gay bars, he’d get outed and fired. That was the reality and completely out of Roger’s hands.

This. I’m old enough to remember that until 1969, the men arrested in police nuisance raids of gay bars would have their names published in the daily newspaper, often resulting in losing jobs. Rogers wasn’t rejecting him - he was looking out for him (and the show). Also worth noting that the marriage-for-appearances…

I agree that you can’t call this homophobia on Rogers part (imho). He didn’t reject Clemmons, quite the opposite. He did pragmatically admit the reality of the situation. If he kept going out to gay bars, he’d get outed and fired. That was the reality and completely out of Roger’s hands. The ending of the article in…

I have seen a couple of sites trying to make a fuss out of this and say that homophobia was some sort of skeleton in Fred Rogers’ closet. But that is really judging people of half a century ago by the morality of today. It is amazing that Clemmons wasn’t fired. Gay people (especially men) around children was regarded…

But still, it illustrates the finite nature of Mr. Rogers’s ideals. “I like you just the way you are,” he often said, but in the case of Clemmons there was a caveat: “...I just need you to show less of the way you are.” This information through the lens of contemporary culture, in which an employer legislating what…

I don’t see where you’ve also acknowledged that there was a production company and PBS making the show and therefore would have reacted strongly against an openly gay man working on a childrens show. There was probably a threat of cancelling the whole show, and perhaps that is why Fred Rogers reacted the way he did.…

I feel great sympathy for the families, but those “what if...” questions will do nothing but make you crazy. What if my loved one had a cold that night and stayed home? What if he had been standing somewhere else? What if the security guard had shot the assailant? You can’t rewind time and change the events. No…
