Good for Beck for getting out, but it’s silly for him to pretend like we were all just imagining him being a Scientologist when he explicitly said he was in a 2005 interview.

But think of children, this is Disney. She is probably singing about her hair color.

She can be single and still come out.

This is exactly what they wanted, and probably planned from the beginning: a teensy bit of queer cred and zero actual representation. There was no change of plans.

The comments on the original Jez article were a shameful cesspool of white feminism. SO many Jezzies were defending these white female authors piling on a grad student for suggesting that Dessen’s milquetoast YA novels may not have been the best choice for collegiate readers and that a book about discrimination in the…

She couldn’t even name the person she bullied. I’d give it a C-.

“Nelson, who is now a graduate student in linguistics studying online harassment”

I want to apologize to the person who was quoted

And after that tweetstorm, it is probably a very necessary grudge that has expanded to include Picoult and Weiner as well.

And despite your corporate overlords telling you to stick to sports, I hope Deadspin never does because

and I can’t emphasize this enough

I come to Deadspin BECAUSE YOU DON’T JUST STICK TO SPORTS

No HBO is the reason that show was successful and HBO putting the right people around those hacks is the reason that show is successful and they just admitted it in that thread up above. Nothing else Benioff has ever touched has been good, I mean he was one of the screenwriters on freaking Gemini Man for crying out…

This is a shame. Probably a hot take: Cloak & Dagger was the best Marvel TV show on the whole to date. Not to disparage the Netflix ones or anything, but even at their high points, they had seasons that dragged on too long to pad their episode count and generally weak endings. (Disclaimer: I haven’t seen Runaways or…

It seems pretty clear to me that in the course of reporting the Weinstein story - which was presumably first a piece for NBC TV, which by necessity morphed into a print article when it moved to The New Yorker - a second story started to emerge. It’s literally in the title of this book, “Catch & Kill.” Killing Farrow’s…

Remember when confronted about the lack of diversity on The Mindy Project, her response was, “I’m a fucking Indian woman!” so...that’s the alpha and omega of diversity to her, I guess.

It’s been an issue for years that anybody with any pull insists upon producing credit for their movie/tv show as it’s one more paycheck (and a cut at the residuals). So I can fully believe the Academy was asking for justification from not just her.

Predators don’t lure victims by being ranting, lunging slobber-dogs. They lure with whirlwind romance, insistence on having a family right away, posing as a mentor, and anything else that generates trust and love. If their marks don’t respond they move on to the next one, all the while making sure they’re publicly…

“Though the athletes of today are certainly superior to those in my days; we miss the clean cut white young men and women from those days.”

I’m glad to see that most of the responses to Ethan Wyss’s tweet are about how he apparently doesn’t know what a streaker is.

Jesus, just bend on one knee and ask.

If all the kids in the campaign had messy hair, then this isn’t a controversy. I’m not going to do the research to determine if that’s the case, though. I don’t care enough.
