A post to thank Brenda, gizmodo, and Jezebel for the coverage. With the wall-to-wall bots spamming the party line these days, we need more stories like this.

He was genuinely creepy in that recent biological apocalypse movie that deserved its early demise, so that explains that. But does this mean Sean Penn’s ex Robin is a Scientologist or did she and Ben split over that (in part)?

Does this mean Ben Foster is now a Scientologist? Or do they have a mixed marriage/relationship?

To be fair where they aren’t, many religions do that - for their priests, for the professors at their colleges, for their football teams.

I hope you are right. The two children I have met from a family in Scientology were teenagers but seemed too frightened to talk with non-Scientologists. They literally looked at others as though they had been told all their lives that we have tails and are lizards who will eat them. You can see a range of superiority,…

They also seem to have a lot of people working for free or near-slave wages, so their expenses seem very low.

I just came to weigh in on the dress - or both dresses. I’m sorry but sequins, black sequins, are for cocktail parties, nightclubs, and maybe a Kennedy Center soiree. Off-the-shoulder dresses are for anything after 7 p.m. unless they’re in a fabric that suggests the beach. Either way, Ivanka and Melania on the floor…

I’m low on creativity but long on outrage.

I’ll give an example that isn’t from childbirth but is about hospital procedure. On two separate occasions, I had to stop a nurse or a radiology tech from doing a procedure that they found “standard” but I wasn’t expecting and that had never been discussed with me. In both cases, they were so surprised to be…

But, but, but....emails! Lock him up! Seriously, another GOP hypocrite? What a shocker!

The full Larson-Fonda interview is wonderful. I especially like Fonda’s point about a strong body making a woman feel more empowered in general, at work, with people who need to be told no. What’s depressing is that the interview is followed directly by several pages’ worth of emaciated women’s bodies that are…

It was always the woman’s fault then. “Were you wearing a miniskirt? Were you drinking? Why were you at that party? You probably thought he’d give you a part in his film....”

Get sarcasm much?

Trump has already proven he gives a rat’s ass about women in general. Why would a widow he can use for good PR be any different?

Yeah, Putin never does that kind of thing. Crazy!

Fascinating! I feel sickened but vindicated. Even before all the Russia connection news started to trickle out, I thought the “15-year-old” was a likely set-up in a Russian-style attack because Weiner/Huma was always a weak link where Clinton was vulnerable in a half-dozen ways. This makes all kinds of sense,…

In other words, the lying liars and the lies they tell. If Sessions is a lawyer, he needs to be disbarred and prosecuted for lying to Congress.

And if he only attended for a year, he likely took math and some other freshman GE courses, neither of which would include his first two claims to classes. He also would not have been allowed to declare a triple major.

I feel sorry for his father. The entire family is willing to be used as props for the man who got him killed and their message to his father is, grieve alone.

Genius idea. Noah, are you listening? Stephen?
