I don't know if Kenny mentioning she was married would have changed anything. When Joan tells Pete the same thing Pete said something along the lines of "Well, I'm sure he knows that" (or maybe that came out in the partners' meeting? Either way, Joan's marital status wasn't going to deter Creepy McCarDealer

I think it was a little of both. He was disgusted - because he respects JOAN, not because he respects women. And he also wanted the win for creative.

Yeah I got that sense too - that had Joan known Don was not behind the firm pimping her out - if she had known that ANY of the partners, the men she'd grown to respect after years of service - she might have made a different choice. Her first question once she found out that there had been a meeting was if Roger was…

"Legal yet rare" is patently offensive to me, precisely because of the previous article Jez ran today - I feel like the phrase itself opens up those questions about WHY a woman is getting an abortion, what about her makes her one of those "rare" people?

Yah, I dig.

Word up!

It's not ok to me to walk away when the same old tired fucking arguments that Cat Eyes is making get trod out on a daily basis to make MY LIFE significantly harder than it would be if I could just be a person out in the world rather than the kind of visibly fat person who acceptance of my body offends the OP of this…

So basically, your definition of "glorifying unhealthy behavior" is if you point at a photo and say "that looks unhealthy and we're talking about that person as if they are a human being?" Thought so.

Your argument hinges on a single, identifiable-by-looks definition of unhealthy. Go ahead and define that for me, please.

Whenever anyone asks me if I'm religious I tell them I am and that my religion has just exactly one tenant: "Don't be an asshole."

Sometimes I resent the fact that MM is such a large ensemble. It means I don't get to spend time with my favorite characters every week. I loved the Don/Joan scene, obviously and was so happy to have more time with Office Joan this season. I recognized that platonic-flirt thing they were doing; I think in a lot of…

That's not a theory. The show runner has said that is what's going to happen this season.

It's not. Works pretty well...

Or as I like to call him "Jimmy Brooks."

So at this point the Dem counter-strategy is to just point and laugh, right?

I just discovered this song like three days ago. My absolute favorite part of the video are the dudes who are playing INSTRUMENTS. Like, keyboardist.... okay. But there are TWO GUITARS in her band in the background. What are they supposed to be playing, exactly? There are no actual instruments in the song! I laughed…

I know. Sing like an adult!

I'm putting Jane on suicide watch now...

OMG Yes! I had the same reaction to Kyle Chandler in FNL. "But I want him to be my Dad! No, now I want to bang him! But I ALSO want Tami to be my Mom. But... BUT. CONFUSED."
