That’s the most correct take the internet will see all year.

And he’s rumored to be hitting the sauce pretty hard.

I was too busy throwing up in disgust to respond to your question.

How dare you sir! Can’t you see how badly Batfleck feels about not standing up to Harvey? And being forced to fit in by grabbing women’s boobs? Can’t we all recognize that Batfleck is the real victim here?

+1000 to Batman Beyond.

My guess is that his personal life is in a downward spiral and he wants out of the grind on a studio franchise so he can get his shit together or at least try to get out of the spotlight.

I agree. And as I thought through a response it occurred to me that Becky’s response actually seems to follow the Louis CK model of “admitting” he made a mistake but then misrepresenting his moral failure. If we think of this as a work environment I feel like Becky is casting himself as coworker who wishes he’d done…

Where did you find his first draft? I thought he deleted it.

It’s human nature to retcon history to make ourselves look better. Usually this is unconscious and my guess is that Biden believes his current version of history.

That buckwheat groats video was pretty damning.

After seeing your comment I realized that in context of the thread it sounded like I was equating Takei’s sexual assault with other lower level problematic behaviour. I meant to strictly address human fallacy as a universal trait and that we we should assume people are imperfect including ourselves. Any suggestion on…

After sitting with my above reply I want to clarify a little:

I know this is a nuanced position and the internet is no place for nuance but I always assume the accuser *believes* their accusation. That said, I feel like we feel like this means we need to pick a side — if we believe the accuser then we have to denounce the accused immediately.

Thank’s for sharing that, it article nails my reaction to CK’s “apology” when it came out. I’ve actually struggled with a short-hand term to describe his statement because it’s important to note that he admits the allegations are true. But I feel like calling it an admission or apology is misleading precisely because…

I think we’re all problematic about something. I try my best but I have no doubt my kids will look back and be legitimately horrified by something I said/did/believed. Of course, some things are more problematic than others and I hope it’s never something that rises to the level of “black people are animals” or…

I agree with you but also wonder if Takei meant that he believes sexual assault is defined by abuser seeking the thrill of exerting dominance over another. The implication is that if your motivation is purely sexual then it’s ok. If that’s correct I actually sort of understand where he is coming from and why he may…

I’ve been extremely depressed all morning by several comments men in my extended social network have made recently that seem to amount to: This guy I hate is guilty (Roy Moore) but how dare you rush to judgment against this guy I like (Louis CK *after* his apology). I am perplexed. Then again I’ve essentially filed an…

I am sorry. I am only allowed to give you one star. You deserve so many more.
