I don’t think the Riseborough campaign is substantively different from other Oscar-politicking campaigns, studio and otherwise, apart from perhaps tactlessness – at any rate I doubt she’d be a serious contender for the Best Actress award anyways. My comment is more to the effect that a) the Oscars’ investigation is…

I don’t get what makes Riseborough’s nomination any different than any other nomination, when studios literally buy their way into the Oscars with endless promotional crap (looking at you, Paramount), and low-budget films are basically shut out. Is it so much more egregious if a bunch of actors get together to promote…

I know we are supposed to be laughing at Republicans being divided and fucking everything up. But they have been operating this way since the Tea Party came in and created a split in 2010. They are blatantly disinterested in governing.  Full stop. And yet they hold the House.

The designer, Lorie Smith, said the state’s rule prevents her from selling wedding websites because she only believes in heterosexual marriages and doesn’t want to serve gay couples.

The people that are scared of losing “their Texas” can take the state out of the US and live any damn way they want. Just let the liberals and progressives and other people out of the state first.

“Even the ones that said he was ‘creepy’ laughed, because they were obviously not trying to tick him off or anything. So they’re just fake laughing, awkwardly laughing.”

I’ve run into your mom’s policy before, and the worst thing is that it’s always for women. Women have always been taught to be the nonconfrontational ones, the peacemakers, while it was fine and manly for men to get drunk and argue politics until the sun came up. But yeah, I don’t think even upbringing can serve as a…

I mean this honestly: I’m glad you’ve sought therapy and found it helpful. I’ve done myself (for different reasons from you, I think), and it is good and helpful. Now, more to the point, I’ve read most of your posts in this thread and it seems like you’re seeking the wrong things. You’ve talked about what it means to…

“how to pursue women especially in today’s climate”

“she’s like every other girl in the world and that she uses men to get money, and at least he’s a hard-working man and that he works for his money.”

Your notifications deserve to be set on fire for the idea that “Jordan Peterson can tell you how to be a good man.” He’s a bigoted, misogynistic hack. (https://www.theguardian.com/science/2018/feb/07/how-dangerous-is-jordan-b-peterson-the-rightwing-professor-who-hit-a-hornets-nest).

thus proving he couldn’t have hurt Heard, because everyone knows domestic abusers have also abused every woman they’ve ever encountered.

it doesn’t feel slow. Seems like starting in 2016 it’s been jumping to hyper speed.

We should probably just burn all the museums. I mean, we have Instagram, duh! What the fuck do we need artists for?!?

I am no KK fan, but to label her as a “socialite” is crappy. She is an incredibly savvy business person and she clearly works all the time (do I agree with the way she spends her time, no, but that doesn’t matter). Shallow, annoying, overexposed, silly...all of those things apply to KK. Rightfully call her out if she…

None of this is at all surprising. They’re trying to build Gilead, complete with a “Lol, women are things.” mindset.

The guy’s pretty much the last “movie star” at this point.

They are on a path directly leading to States allowing slavery, again. It is the right of states to craft any law about anything regardless of any federal law apparently according to Republicans.

There’s really not much of anything here. The headline and the beginning of the story made it sound like Erin from The Office was burning crosses and shit. Nope, she attended some corny debutante ball thing that has a racist past. Most of the US has a racist past.

The point of the lawsuit isn’t really to draft women; it’s to get rid of mandatory Selective Service registration altogether on the grounds that it’s discriminatory.
