The Sun is a racist rag (owned, IIRC, by Rupert Murdoch) so this is just another piece of trash.  Good on her PR team from correcting the record.  Everything Megan goes through reminds me of what Princess Di endured.

This Us story says the opposite: https://www.usmagazine.com/stylish/news/queen-elizabeth-ok-with-meghan-markle-wearing-royal-jewelry-details/

Buy an island and fill it with rescue dogs.

Gotta love how the racist Brit tabloids straight up projects their racism onto the fucking queen.

This raises a good point for me. There is a distinction between a magazine article that discusses controversial viewpoints and one BY people with those viewpoints. There is a further distinction between each of those and putting a person with those viewpoints on the masthead. The latter doesn’t just air out the view…

To be clear, I haven’t heard other stories about Biden, so I was commenting mostly about Anita Hill’s situation and sexual harassers in general. In this incident about Biden, I see it as generational cluelessness, the privilege a white man, who’s been in power all his life, takes to lavish what he says he sees as…

I think you’ve raised a good point. Harassment can be about power more than sex. Look at Louis C.K. I think the press should be investigating all of the stories and photos of Biden now before we get farther into the primaries. Being a “creepy uncle” is code for unacceptable behavior.

It’s like this in the military, too- the government is incredibly conservative and the sexism is stunning.

And what I’ve learned over the years is that comments like the ones Hill reported are designed not to get you to sleep with them but to put you off your game. You come in confident, you’re thrilled to get the clerkship or the job, and you’re competition. It’s hazing; that helps them confuse you, knock you off your…

Best reminder of how young Anita Hill was when she went through that. I’m old now but remember how she was treated, remember the Clarence Thomas “this is a lynching!” combativeness (cut to 2018 Kavanaugh - same strategy their PR coaches teach them), and the tut-tutting from all the boys in the boys club.

I constantly ask, now if he was a woman, would he be on the air?

Agreed - she sounds too naive to get the truth of what he’s saying.  Also, she seems unaware that sociopaths and psychopaths are inordinately practiced at “charm.”

Yeah, I love the way he assumes facts not in evidence. Good people were trying to hide their Jewish neighbors. When you’re designing a system to exterminate your neighbors, you’re not good because you do it behind a desk or pick up milk on the way home. It’s his own creepy way of stacking the argument by controlling…

What do we do about behavior that isn’t assault but is gendered, unprofessional, and ultimately unsettling?

Honestly my most burning question for the filmmaker is, how bad does he smell? Steve Bannon looks like he smells bad.

It always makes me laugh that this blob of sentient, spoiled mayonnaise is one of the prominent faces of a “superior race”  

Alison Klayman: That was a concern. I thought about it every night going to sleep, honestly. But I made it because I felt like it was not a question of, “Is this movie going to give him oxygen and give his ideas oxygen?” because frankly he gets oxygen every day. He is still being covered.

I love that MM got out of a bad situation and is having another turn in the spotlight. She looks strong and happy. The interview she just gave with Milo made them both look smart and hilarious and smokin’ hot. I’m envious of her and inspired by her.

This is such a Debbie Downer post to throw out there, but here goes. My half-brother molested me. The relative who molested him also molested my dad. My dad and I are close, and we do 5Ks together, or partner up to do relay marathons. I am in my 40s, and my son and I visit my folks for a sleepover every now and then,…
