Interesting to see where this goes with two-time Oscar winner Kevin Spacey.

Plenty of people survived the Holocaust and didn’t go on to rape children.

“...he should be able to be reinstated.”

If Mr Polanski wants to be reinstated, he should be able to be reinstated. Provided that he submit written justification for reinstatement in person to the Academy’s offices in California.

When I read the announcement that he’d be kicked out I thought it was too little too late, but the knowledge that this bullshit “punishment” actually upsets him to the point of consulting with a legal team gives me great pleasure. Is there anything else he can be kicked out of? A frequent flyer mile program? A…

He was blindsided because he never thought in a million years the Academy would have kicked him out... and they wouldn’t have either, but then they had to kick out Bill Cosby and didn’t want to look like fucking hypocrites.

Wrong. Chris Evans is clearly the superior Chris. Have you seen his tweets? Woke bae is superior bae.

But that’s the thing, so far he isn’t being accuses of being a shitty person. Two women came forward to say he had behaved inappropriately towards them and stopped when they said they weren’t interested in having that sort of relationship with him. Their statement makes him sound like someone who had mild boundary…

Or, what’s even more likely, that he was both great and wonderful and a boorish creepy asshole to the women making statements against him. I’ve know plenty of men who behaved badly towards a woman and then just stopped and did the right thing by her anyways as if harassing was a type of hazing.

Why IS Joy Reid slogging it out on her own?

Fuck man. What is the fucking point of these letters and statements? Do these people not understand that people are complex and present themselves differently to different people. Do they really find it wholly inconceivable that Tom Brokaw could have been great and wonderful to them and STILL have been a boorish…

Shhhiiiiiiittttt..... This adds a whole new dimension to NBC’ s firing of Curry. I don’t put it past them to have waited for a ‘reason’ to fire her after making this report. Even someone in a position of prominence, as beloved, with as long a tenor as Ann fucking Curry is subject to reprisals. People know this, right?

I agree. KUWTK is admittedly my treadmill show (it is one of the rare things that makes me not want to die while running), and there was a really good episode a while back where the sisters were concerned about a controlling partner (Khloe’s? Karen’s? IDK), so they went to Planned Parenthood and had a lesson on…

Damon Young at the Root summed this up pretty well in his piece on Monday.

I don’t watch any of the Kardashian shows (I don’t live in the US) or follow her or her family on any social media, so my knowledge of Kim is pretty random, mainly from when she’s mentioned in something I read. I don’t know if that necessarily gives me a different view of her, but here are things I know about Kim…

Even I, the Platonic ideal of a mediocre white man, don’t agree with myself 100% of the time. It’s honestly closer to like 45-50%.

How does one go from “Bush doesn’t care about black people” to supporting the most overtly racist president in US history?

I will never understand how a woman who gave birth 5 hours prior can look better than me AT MY VERY BEST.

This job is exhausting. Imagine being a women who just gave birth and a mere 5 hours later you have to throw on a dress and look like you totally have your shit together in front of the entire world. It’s days like this when I’m thankful being a mere peasant.

Yep. Those cops must be pissed that the hero at that other Waffle House was black... they (those cops) would have probably shot him down before he could be the hero. But hey! Kanye said that today, so those cops are in the clear!
