Mac Miller could be one factor. Or, as she watched the SNL taping on Saturday, she took a good look at who she was engaged to and realized that there are better options for her than this immature idiot.

You know what will help combat sexual assault?

I also think that. Seinfeld wanted to attribute young people not laughing to them being too sensitive. Maybe people just don't really find hacky material about floppy hands looking gay and French to be all that hilarious. 

I have to laugh at a Bernie supporter invoking “purity politics.” What a pathetic attempt at spin.

It won’t affect elections if all those kids live in cities. Assuming all those kids grow up to be straight-ticket D voters, it’ll be the same story: double-digit electoral blowouts in CA, IL, and NY getting cancelled out by meager GOP wins in PA, FL, and OH, and what do you know, another D candidate wins the popular…

Genuine question: At this point, will it matter?   With a supreme court weighted to the Repubs, can anything actually change the course of this trainwreck?   

I did always think this was cool:

Just in time, third season of The Man in the High Castle has dropped.

I’m glad you mentioned Kelsey Grammar as one of the few good things about X3. It may have seemed a bizarre choice to those who didn’t know the character, but as someone who read a lot of classic X-Men comics when I heard he was cast as Beast I thought “perfect”.

This movie gets two things right. That plane rescue sequence and casting Brandon Routh. His turn as Ray Palmer in the Arrowverse shows he has exactly the right amount of “Aw, shucks” type charisma to play the Big Blue Boy Scout but the script and direction of Returns doesn’t let him show that.

i remember watching this in the cinema and thinking “why the fuck isn’t Parker Posey playing Lois Lane”. She was perfect for the role instead of that kate actress. 

The problem is our stories only have merit when corroborated by men. 

Um, I think these old white guys know a little bit more about the emotions that female victims of sexual assault go through than the actual victims, thank you very much.

I get the point of this theoretically, but in my heart I believe it does not serve me or anyone else to willingly be invisible. I fight it enough in my daily life as it is.

Murphy Brown comebacks: 1

I just want to point that this article is on The Slot, the political sub-blog for Jezebel, and not Deadspin, the sports blog. It was just shared on Deadspin.

That’s not correct. Yale was founded by Congregationalists. The big Mormon university is BYU. Plenty of Yalies drink (so plenty of Mormons, for that matter, but they're more invested in hiding it).

Kavanaugh’s angry tirade about accusations “coming from the left” puts me firmly in the no confirmation camp. That sort of outburst is not something I want to see coming from a Supreme Court justice nominee.

“An FBI investigation?! How dare you Senator! I have yelled and whined and cried before you today! My daughter has prayed for the lying slut! Therefore, my innocence is proven beyond any question! Good day, sir!”

I don’t think this is likely to work. I grew up in this environment, and I can tell you there’s nothing this crowd loves doing more than forgiving one of their own for some allegedly mortal sin, provided they throw themselves on Jesus’s mercy and publicly recommit themselves to the approved value set. They won’t turn…
