This is a good move. He’s got sexy/louche down, that’s for sure. I wonder if he can show a more refined side, though...

You said it. Same thing happened in Canada with the death of former crackhead mayor, Rob Ford. The fact that he had an aggressive and ultimately fatal cancer didn’t somehow make him a better person. An asshole who gets cancer is still just as much of an asshole. And a shitty person who gender-confirms into a woman is…

It’s worse than that imo. Much worse. She’s a piece of shit. Let’s not tap dance around it (or maybe we should?). Between killing people while texting and supporting Trump , she needs to just go away. I’m sick of the media trying to hold her up and pat her on the back for transitioning.

The moral of this rant:…

There’s a lot you can do to express remorse that has nothing to do with discussing the details of a lawsuit. You’re being intellectually dishonest if you’re implying otherwise.

I don’t know. Based upon comments Caitlyn has made and her behavior, I’m beginning to lean toward Kris deserving that award.

She’s putting on a pretty convincing portrayal of a person not caring that someone died in a horrific automobile collision because of her actions. I mean, nobody is really that soulless, right?

That, the complete unconsciousness of privilege, and then there’s the whole “killed a woman, showed no remorse,” thing as well. I simply don’t think she’s a good person and she’s certainly not anyone I want to watch in anything.

We want to love her, but she’s a Republican and a pretty insulated one at that. Sigh.

Yeah.

:/

Leaving the state would hurt the state government, but it would probably hurt their employees and customers more. WF already donates to a variety of LGBT foundations and legal defense funds, and it is more than plausible they will increase their support:

There are members of the LGBT community who don’t have the economic resources to just get up and move out of NC. It helps to have a powerful and local voice of support in their state.

WHITE’S ONLY WHAT???

The message is horrible but what's really killing me is that apostrophe.

I worked for Wells Fargo for many years. They’ve long been very consistent and vocal supporters of the LGBT community. They have a huge LGBT workforce, a large and active task force, and are very visible in the LGBT community wherever Wells Fargo is a big presence/employer. It’s a very safe place for LGBT workers to…

Okay. So you’re completely missing the point when you take pains to emphasize that he was truthful and calm, because those things were not at issue.

Just in the short period of time from when I wrote that, others mentioned Hannah Arendt, Janet Malcolm, Gloria Steinem, and Nadine Gordimer (wow!) all had indirect professional connections with him at one time or another.

Arendt. Forgot about her too. Thanks!

Well first off, I think it’s a BIG stretch to include Talese with Capote, Mailer, etc. But second, in this thread alone, we’ve got Didion, Susan Sontag, Frances FitzGerald, Nora Ephron and Mary McCarthy who are all better known and are more influential than Talese. Third, though- and this is the important point that…

Sounds like something Norman Mailer would say.
