I’m a union electrical worker. I have not been in a fight since moving out of my abusive alcoholic home as a kid. Well, okay, I did shove a guy off me at a bus stop once, but that was hardly a fight.

Does the NFL, mainstream media, etc understand that Taylor Swift is a serial dater and this is going to last about as long as it takes to distract a toddler from a hissy fit by handing them a cookie?

GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE AND YEARS TOO LATE.

Well, she got what she wanted. She got what they all want.

I don’t know about that, I my experience pitchers are the dumbest guys in baseball. Curt Shilling would be a prime example.

Sorry, but a relationship with a dumb hottie is 1000% better in fantasy than reality. I’m including gay pairings as well. Yes they’re hot n’ sexy n’ all that, but the problem that inevitably arises is that during arguments, their capacity for critical thinking is insufficient to generate a mutually satisfying

I feel like it’s important to think about this shift as part of an industry that has been totally shaken by 1. the collapse of one of their cornerstone retailers (David’s Bridal), 2. increased cost of operation and 3. consumers shrinking pools of disposable income. They’re desperate to remain relevant and essential to

I feel for the families, and of course they would like to see this resolved as soon as possible and have this guy thrown in jail for the rest of his life but the end of the day this isn’t about them? If the guy has a right to forgo a speedy trial and both prosecution and defense are ok with it, that’s all that

“Brrap Brrap Pew Pew” from BoJack Horseman; it’s probably one of the best written abortion stories out there. Not only does Diane get an abortion, to her, it’s her first and only choice.

Well, I mean...

Oh, to live in a world where “Person who has more money than they could ever spend gives some away to the people who made that possible” wouldn’t even warrant a headline because it’s just expected.

Nolan is way too pretentious to let his “masterpieces” become soft porn vehicles. I suspect this time, he said, “okay fine I’ll do nudity, but, like, tasteful nudity. You know...boobs present but with someone reading Sanskrit or philosophy at the same time. Purposeful nudity!

Cotton is an asshole, it’s not an affectation or act. He’s a pure, unadulterated asshole.

Semenya was born female & deserves every right to compete, even with her hormone advantages against other females, just as men like the new NBA 1st pick with a significant height advantage can compete against other men.

How old is she, TWELVE years old?! It’s called a contract. It’s called an ad campaign. Unless the contract went as far as to say they would hold your hand and tuck you in at night, they don’t owe you sh**. Welcome to the (real) world. This site, other sites, lots of sites and magazines and the such around the world hav

Not to give Mulvaney a hard time; I like her (as much as I can like anyone who calls herself an “influencer”, anyway). But expecting any corporation to behave morally and decently when it might impact profits is pretty risky, and expecting a public corporation to do so is utter fantasy. Boards of directors have only

And I ask again my constant question about social media: if something is real and valuable on its own, why does it need to be broadcast to the wide world, to people you don’t even know? Why does a personal moment need to be so performative? This seems about as genuine as the guys who blow themselves up in order to

I think the premise was entirely wrong for a comedy in 2023. Parents paying a woman to pretend to come onto and date their 19-year-old son is ripe for a Parasite style satirical dissection of privilege and generation gaps (Gen X parents, Millennial woman, Gen Z son), but making it a belly-laugh comedy was always going

This. Which is why the AP is right. I don’t think they give a shit if people use the word on Twitter or informally but in professional contexts, it’s probably better - and far more accurate - to stick to transphobe.

The issue I take with it is that “TERF” has just come to mean “transphobe” without any radical feminism necessary. Someone advocating a return to traditional gender roles who thinks that trans women aren’t women because women should be pregnant as often as possible isn’t a “TERF”, they’re just a bigot.
