Hollywood is constructed on a scaffolding of pure garbage. That's my takeaway. They are all guilty by association. If you knew and kept it to yourself in order to protect your career, you are guilty by association.

By the way, this is also true of the American government and our many not-so-hidden misdeeds. Careerism…

Video could use more pug, less stoic Santa.

I still think it's good news. None of this matters to me.

Reminds me of the original Neil Gaiman plot in the Sandman stories. John Dee, a crazed lunatic, gets ahold of a powerful totem owned by Dream. At the time I thought the story was farfetched. Who is that terrible?

I'm sure that they have a fabulous marriage. That's good. Marriage is much easier with giant piles of money and lots of personal property so that you never have to get too sick of looking at each other.

That's okay with me. What's important is that the women who attend their college aren't made to believe that cronyism is more important than the safety of women. In this rare instance that's about optics, not logistics.

I think it's just easy clickbait. Easy to write, easy to get some clicks.

I misread the headline. I really thought I was going to see a photo of a lion eating a butthole. I'm told that's their favorite part!

That is a point that only stands when your goal is to make as much money as possible at all times. They could sell the most magazines if they sold their magazines with nudity on the cover. That really sells! They don't make that choice because they are trying to preserve a reputation.

Very interesting! I agree. These friends are a hazard because, yes, sometimes you just need support, but this person is just trying to maintain smooth waters for themselves at your own expense. I'll say whatever makes this conversation easier!

Were people always this awful? I can never decide. But I think that being…

Oh, god. I have most of these friends.

I love my completely bipolar response to this image, which is that eating a giant chili-soaked greaseball is okay, but I don't want to it in a foil package.

I do love Frito Pie. The Wheatsville Co-op in Austin has a vegetarian version that is fantastic.

Regarding the Ron Weasley quip: Isha, it is Saturday. I beg of you. Don't open that door. I'm not in shape for a cage match to the death.

I think that's maybe where they ended up. I don't think she entered into that marriage thinking, "Oh, goodie. I'm going to be a lesbian and my husband is going to sleep around as much as he can physically schedule in new women." I think it was originally disappointing to her.

I was relieved to see that comedian Patton Oswalt has publicly criticized Bill Cosby recently. Comedians are kind of awful about this stuff. They protect their own, so any sort of blunt honesty about it is appreciated.

I've heard that his marriage to Lisa Bonet ended because of repeated infidelity, but I don't believe that makes someone bad. I think trying to fit into a monogamous relationship and figuring out you can't do it, that just puts you in the majority. Is it wrong? Yes. But surely we can parse out levels of wrongdoing.

I…

I am thankful everyday that my grandmother held those beliefs. I mean, I don't think her and I would agree about what social justice looks like, but that's okay. The important part is that she taught me that we are all citizens of the world, beholden to the greater good.

Exactly!

"Sex is an icky, nasty thing that should only happen between an married man and a married woman"

It says right there in the headline: "Vicious pirate." Nobody's sending her name to the nominations for a Nobel Peace Prize. But it's still interesting.
