It would have been nice if this article had included (or at least links to) what it was that Roxane Gay “let him hear,” which I had to go digging for and is well worth reading, as to be expected:

Always love how the only account in stories like this that is widely shared is that of the murderer. “She flirted in front of him”. Oh? Your interpretation, you murderer. This is why women have to be careful even while just trying to be polite and respectful to other humans - two things women hardly ever receive in…

I don’t understand why you couldn’t have a first impression about a skin care line. How it smells, packaging, price point, ingredients, how one’s face immediately reacts... these are all first impressions that are worthwhile.

Of course you can.

But what’s the alternative for a reviewer? They should only review things they like, ie offer endorsements? And I guess just ignore bad or mediocre products, leaving it to the audience to sleuth whether a lack of review is because the product sucks or because it actually hasn’t been reviewed?

Yeah, I am confident this is in response to the underwhelming support he got when he tried to play the beleaguered victim: “ugh, I can see why she’d probably regret dating me :(( ” Is there an official term for self-deprecation that is entirely disingenuous? Like humble-bragging but for self-hatred? It’s a token…

I doubt this stems from true self-awareness. It’s probably more the result of many people in his life saying “dude... stop. Just stop.”

Yeah, I think he got the hint that he was six feet down already...

Mind you, this was after some very deep hole-digging already....

RE: Ariana....I think I once watched a thing about how they make these and they involve 3D scans of the person. Is it possible that this is closer to what she looks like without contouring make-up and while being told to hold still for the scan? The face shape is what’s throwing me off (along with the joyless…

The thing is kills me is that none, none, none of the men who are supporting these new restrictive abortion laws would be against an abortion if the pregnancy in question were personally inconvenient for them or for their sons.
