Remembering that time Sarah Jessica Parker played Dolores Fuller in Ed Wood and Dolores later said in an interview that SJP never contacted her to do any research and that when they finally did meet after the movie premiered SJP said she just got done playing the worst actress in the history of film.

It kind of does though because the term “moderate” relational and contextual. If you define yourself as “moderate” then you’re moderate in relation to what? If you’re in the middle then the things you’re in the middle of matter. The term shifts as the points it’s defining itself in relation to shift. There was a joke…

To be quite honest “moderate” these days does tend to mean republican-lite when you actually ask about policies. That has to do with a lot of things (like Dems also moving right to find “common ground” (despite repub fearmongering about Biden being a socialist LMFAO) but the GOP is currently SOOOOOO far right that to…

I think it’s possible too for sure.. The GOP knows that their positions are widely less popular, that’s why they have to do all this superhero villain scheming to get and stay in power. That has to be frustrating as hell for the people there.

There was someone on twitter (tweet below hopefully if the kinja gods allow) from Uvalde that basically said they don’t want these people in office either but all of the “Why don’t you just vote?” stuff is useless because the GOP has effectively gerrymandered the shit out of the whole state.

“Now that we think about it all those people questioning why we weren’t going inside to help the kids might have been on to something.”

Yes!!! Those are the people I’m most annoyed with because stans will always live in delusion but some of these people..... 1. they should know better. And 2, this trial is doing an INSANE amount of damage to the even bits of progress that Me Too made and there aren’t nearly enough people actively pushing back on it.…

It’s like a damn infestation! At this point the comment section is just Reddit 2.0.

There are several commenters who are for some reason ungreyed still trying to make “mutual abuse” happen. And of course already have links to go of instances of women killing their husband (um we know this happens, its the entire premise of Snapped.....) and their entire goal is to mutilate feminist talking points so…

1. None of that has anything to do with the fact that mutual abuse is not a thing.

Feminists who have done any actual feminist study and reading should not agree with that persons points because they are a #gotcha with the entire purpose of getting people who claim to be feminists to agree with MRA talking points. Mutual abuse is not a thing no matter how much they try to make it a thing. 

Impressed at this lack of critical thinking! “It’s actually unfeminist to go by actual statistics and studies about the dynamics of IPV.” Ok! 

YIKES

Men are absolutely abused as well. And those men who are most likely to be abused are typically poor, non-white, queer and trans men. But those are not the men that Depp stans are pretending to gaf about. Rich white men 20 years older than their partners with histories of violence and substance abuse are not the faces…

“He can’t be racist, I am his black friend!” Also very on brand coming from the same Whoopi Goldberg that was smiling next to Ted Danson in blackface.

No. Words mean things. And “They’re both abusers” is literally not a thing. That’s not how abuse works. Abuse is a dynamic in which a power imbalance is inherent. That’s why an adult hitting a child is abusive and a child hitting an adult is not.  

Pratt could be a dick (tbh besides being super weirdly Christian-y in the way that makes people uncomfortable I honestly can’t remember why people hate him) but I’m leaning toward this. I’m not sure that he necessarily considers Jack not “healthy.” This seems like clueless and thoughtless territory. I didn’t read it…

Omg I thought those were the same people this entire time and now I’ve never been more confused.

Yeahhh I’m sure being around noted sober straight edge person Pete Davidson didn’t help that sobriety situation much.

Thinking about this is WAY better than thinking about the shitfire that is everything else in the world and he’s been talking about his marriage publicly for years so onward!
