Hi there! It is actually pretty fitting to go after the pharmaceutical company when you know everything they did in order to bring millions to their knees due to addiction. They claimed it wasn’t habit-forming and poured millions of dollars into campaigns that touted that very important, untrue assertion. From the top…

Anytime anyone ever bemoans universal healthcare, I think of the opioid crisis that is destroying the United States. Countries with universal healthcare do not suffer comparatively with pain-medicine addiction. It is the direct result of a profit-driven industry lording over peoples bodies rather than an actual system…

“Small government for my money, big government for your pussy.”

The leopards are coming for all your faces, assholes.

And also, it’s going to put off the Norwegians.

Pro-tip to the fucknuts at ICE: Picking up a 40+ year old white doctor with two decades-old legal dings is not going to make you look any less racist and is definitely not making you look like you’re out there rounding up ‘bad hombres’.

Because ‘bigger name’ is a subjective standard, and subjectivity leaves a huge open door for biases and systemic prejudice to keep working. This is far from the most egregious example, but it is a piece of a very long pattern that keeps finding excuses to pay men more (including writing and casting them as leads more…

My mother met her several times when she was living in Paris, maintaining that (and I quote) “that woman’s stupidity is flabbergasting, and she’s an awful person”.

“but hey, my vote doesn’t really count, whoever’s president doesn’t really affect me”

I didn’t see it as a dig, quite the opposite. Faye Dunaway is a fucking legend but she doesn’t have the economic power to match, and the only explanation for that is sexism.

fuck “class”. she’s trying to make real change in the industry. expecting women to be “classy” while they work hard at things is just another way of policing them.

Cerulean?

She is brave for doing this because she will be attacked mercilessly online.

This was a bad date. She had a horrible date with a clueless guy who thought he was being sexy and hot. She was made to feel uncomfortable, and it wasn’t right.

If only the plural of anecdote were data.

Seems legit. When someone dies in an accident, it is normal to just dismember the body and then sink your own submarine, as one does.

That’s a really lovely statement. Particularly this part:

Cocaine ain’t cheap, allegedly.

the kid is only 22 and he has more integrity than Colin Firth, Joaquin Phoenix, Javier Bardem or any of the other men in his recent films. None of those actors needed the work or money and chose to make a Woody film anyway.
