Agreed. There is a genuine question raised by the response to this photo as to who is really reinforcing and perpetuating these stereotypes? Even if Lagerfeld’s intents are suspect, do we automatically have to engage with/subscribe to them in the stereotypical manner?

That’s why I asked if there was space for both of…

Well let’s run through a few scenarios of what actually happened:

I believe NWA has a song about the police that is applicable to this case.

“So, what are you into?”

My reading of the situation comes across like “hey, you worked closely with my husband. I do a musical comedy-drama show sort of like that musical comedy-drama you did back in the day. We run in similar circles and have similar interests and have a lot of creative overlap, so maybe instead of asking ‘who’s the rando…

I think the issue (giving NPH the benefit of the doubt and assuming that he genuinely didn’t know who Rachel Bloom was) is that she was doing the backstage hosting at the Tony awards, so she’s clearly somebody; they’re not going to give that gig to some rando off the street. As she pointed out, if he had no idea who…

To be fair Ratatouille was never really Bird’s baby. He came in to it as a favor after the Incredibles was such a hit and the current director was shitting the bed.   

With that exchange he demonstrated a few distasteful character traits. First, his humor bullying - even worse, he figured she was an easy mark because she was some random unknown that he, NPH could snark on, and others would pile on and join in mocking. And, then condescension & superiority and zero apology or owning…

It’s just odd for a US-based outlet to talk about it like it’s a strange new concept being trialed in the UK. And there’s the bit asking “but is a 13-cent voucher really what’s standing in the way of people recycling?”, which you’d think would be an interesting thing to spend 5 minutes googling.

Airports used to do this, as well, with their vended luggage carts. Most people rent them, transport their luggage to the parking lot, and leave them. So if you brought them back to the dispenser at baggage claim, they would reward you with a quarter. When I was in college and full of energy, and when a handful of…

Deadlines and imagination block are a boring combination.

Kevin, some of these posts about him being weak are legitimately harassment. If someone with depression came across this it would 100% be detrimental to their mental health. Please look into removing them as it is in no way constructive to leave them up.

As someone with friends who’ve had depression take hold of them and wholly consume them, I really, really, really, really fucking hate that you said that.

Anthony Bourdain is someone who had completely changed my perception of travelling and eating as a great way to get to know people and understand their culture. A true secular humanist, he had an ethos we could benefit from emulating.

I can still see Elizabeth Peña’s proud smile as he is wincing behind the cabinet door (or maybe from the other room?) and whispering, “Not Red Cheek.”

Gods, that woman should have had a better career. She had an “OK” career but movies like Jacob’s Ladder prove that she should have had more prominent roles in more prominent movies.

Ivanka merchandise will NEVER cross my threshold.

Props to Colbert, and also to Tig Notaro for making a point during her segment to acknowledge Monica Lewinsky as a person, not just “that woman.”

as a PR professional, I am FLABBERGASTED that he is a on book tour right now. Like, beyond surprised. AND beyond surprised he didn’t have a very, very, very much better answer to this line of questioning. It’s literally the only thing I would have prepped for him, and it would have been “I was wrong to abuse my…

Creepy old man? yes. Moron? Hardly
