Nearly twenty years on, and they’re still trying to make Gerard Butler a thing.

Mansplaining and being condescending are not the same thing. Mansplaining is a gendered behavior where the man assumes to know (more) about a subject by virtue of his gender and assumes that a woman needs it explained to her because of her gender. If it’s not a gendered situation, it’s not mansplaining.

I adore each and every commenter in that post who is absolutely certain he is smarter than everyone he has ever talked to, including all random strangers.

oh yeah. This is a bad one. I’ve been through some wildfires and this is as bad as I’ve ever seen. Most wildfires hit SOME homes and communities, but largely exist within forest area or mountains and firefighters can get a line in front of it. This is all residential, which is crazy. I know a girl whose dad actually…

Don’t forget the followup to the tax cuts - oh wow, now the deficit has exploded, we have no choice now but to cut health care, unemployment benefits, or anything else that benefits mainstream America.

Oh my god, that store... there’s one up on Hollywood Blvd that is practically an island unto itself, and I never see anyone there. The whole area around it is being ripped up to make room for the influx of nü-yuppies who can’t fit into Silverlake or Los Feliz, but that Pier 1 has been there for what feels like…

I have no idea if they’re still around, but Pier 1 Imports.

“It’s in this context that one can mount a defense of sorts for Mr. Weinstein, who inhabited a moral universe that did nothing but cheer his golden touch and wink at (or look away from) his transgressions — right until the moment that it became politically inconvenient to do so.“

Cool, I was totally hoping they’d get a bland white dude!

Ben Affleck seems to have been the perfect choice for Nick in Gone Girl.

This reminds me so much of the bullshit that went on in Iraq during G.W.’s regime. If you protested the war you were supporting the terrorists and “insulting our troops”, but the fucking administration (and their Republican allies) were perfectly fine sending our boys out with shitty body armor and unarmored vehicles…

Just in case this didn’t crop up here before now.

A few more balanced quotes from the NYT article were left out.

I’m wondering what kind of training and equipment they have. I’m an EMT, but I have asthma so branching over into fire has never appealed to me. Because of local protocols, that means I’m not allowed to respond to any fires at all. I thought about taking the fire class just so I could go to scenes involving fire, and…

Old white guy destroys crops to make wrong point only other idiots agree with.

Granny Smiths and Honeycrisp!

Fuji & Pink Lady apples all the way!

The Girl Scouts are vastly superior to the Boy Scouts in every way.

They aren’t dumping him for what he did, they’re dumping him because the world found out what they already knew. Remember that.
