Let’s clear the air right now. The girl I made out with one time at a party 50 years ago and I are absolutely NOT dating, ok? All the rumors and whatnot are just, like, crazy. No more questions!

I’ve always been a misanthrope, but this past year somehow made me even more so.  I find that I really don’t want to be near people.  I’m lucky that I live with another misanthrope, so we’ll be mostly keeping to ourselves.  I want less interaction with the world, not more.  I think the “hot vax summer” is going to…

“Reverse cuff”? As in “cuff” pronounced backwards? (Try it and see.)

This month is six months since I deleted all social media for similar reasons and I can’t tell you how much lighter it feels to never have to walk around annoyed about what somebody I thought I really liked decided to broadcast to the world (like you, I deleted the obvious fools long ago). If I hadn’t deleted I can’t…

On top of the pandemic, 2020 was an all time low point for me in terms of my depression. Multiple hospitalizations, medications and therapies later, as of two months ago, I’m doing the best I have in over a decade. Along with that, I’ve developed a renewed libido and physical interest in my wife.

I cannot be the only one emerging from this 200% more misanthropic than I went into it. There are people I was friends with for years I barely talk to now because they supported reopening... last April. There are people who are no longer friends. 80 percent of my FB feed has been culled to the bone to get rid of idiot…

There is no doubt the media treated her horribly. The double standard is so blatant and wrong.

They both planned for the “wardrobe malfunction.” It was a deliberate part of the performance, set to Justin’s lyrics: “I’m gonna have you naked by the end of this song.” But when it turned into a big controversy, Janet Jackson got all of the blame, and Justin Timberlake threw her under the bus and let her take it.

Naw, I doubt it. Like I said. She’s probably got maybe 6 more months of a shelf life. She’s already transitioning away just like cardi. Because she’s an entertainer. Not a musician. My wife and I had supper with the comedian Sinbad after a show one night. He explained to me the same thing I’m saying now. Music is an…

He was absolutely complicit in the wardrobe malfunction and let Jackson take the fall. I thought I knew the full story too, but I learned a lot from the You’re Wrong About episode on it (a great podcast in general).

He’s just hedging his bets in the next scandal coming up in s few minutes. Fuck that corny wigga.

I’m going to be unpopular for this but I don’t care. There were 2 people in that teen relationship and just like most teen relationships it ended. It didn’t end well. They both wrote “you suck” songs off this teen relationships and made tons of money. THE MEDIA has made tons of money off this relationship that ended…

LOL. I remember when I first saw The Social Network, I KNEW that he was playing Sean Parker...but really, I FELT that we were seeing the actual Justin Timberlake’s personality onscreen. Since then, nothing’s changed.

I have never understood why Janet and Justin did not come forward when it happened and straight out state that it was an ill-conceived choreographed shock stunt concocted specifically for Superbowl. Instead a metric tonne of crap rained down, especially on Janet, that just got worse as time went on. If they had both…

Not to mention, the man that saw to her industry-wide near-total ban was Les Moonves, who was ousted by CBS following sexual misconduct allegations.

Meh - if one’s making amends and harms the recipient further, one isn’t actually making an amends.  The whole “amends” thing means sincerely atoning for behavior and changing one’s ways. It doesn’t mean revictimizing anyone.

Ha Linked in personal approaches are the worst

It is still astounding to me (and a testament to the deep, deep misogyny of our culture), that Janet Jackson’s career was so profoundly impacted by that moment. This woman, who reigned as pop ROYALTY for the two preceding decades - and one split-second nip-slip took her down.

I have two exes who have, continually over the years, tried to contact me through various online platforms. If I don’t answer you on one site (to the point of even blocking one of them), what makes you think I want to hear your apology on another?

The thing about apologies from past abusers is that they are usually for the abuser. The abuser went to therapy and realized they did something wrong, the abuser feels bad and reaches out to the person they victimized. What in that scenario is about the victim? What if the victim doesn’t desire an apology and contact…
