I was reading about this and someone commented that this is they equivalent of “Mount Vernon, Independence Hall and the entire Smithsonian complex burning down.”

2 things: 1) I hope the researchers and similar employees who have had their lives’ works destroyed are getting mental health support for the devastation and grief. 2) Can we all agree that the meteorite collection (which survived entry through the atmosphere) likely survived this terrestrial fire?  

My first kiss happened on the Zipper! Aww, the memories! And let me tell you, kissing on that thing is no small accomplishment!

37 now but about 10 years ago I had a guy ask. Had just met at a bar and had been flirting and chatting for a while. Bars are loud and conversations tend to be a bit shouty - so he leaned in and in a normal speaking voice said, “can I kiss you?”. Our body language suggested that clearly we were into each other and…

Yeah, and Ronan fucking Farrow who grew up watching his mother and sister be smeared by the most ruthless smearers in the business. Talk about someone being immune to that threat.

Uh, no. This isn’t about a white man of privilege being beaten to some juicy scoop by two women, it’s about a cover-up of countless sexual assaults that would have been successful if Weinstein only had a couple of victims to intimidate. Who knows what will never come out about Weinstein because NBC gave him at least…

Also, let’s not forget that it is NBC that is sitting on outtakes from “The Apprentice” that undoubtedly have the future president saying some horrific shit.

Is it surprising that this is the network that launched the racist, mafia-loving Trump to national fame, even when NYC knew him as a scumbag con-man?

That strawberry hard candy with the juice in the middle? mmmmmmmmmm

The pews are finna be littered with peppermint and strawberry hard candy wrappers. 

This schedule is bananas!!! Bill Clinton has never spoken for only 5 minutes in his life and he’s on the JV team of gasbags speaking. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton get 9 & 5 minutes to speak? Puh-leeze!! This thing could last a couple of days.

“This story is stranger, and sadder, than it initially appears.”

Beto O’Rourke sounds like the name of an awesome pub with Irish nachos and margaritas.

Here’s the thing about nicknames: when people like you, they give you one.

Oh you mean the Hispanic who won’t use his given Hispanic name Raphael Edwardo Cruz. So he won’t be looked at as a “Mexican immigrant” to his racist base?

Ted Cruz is a phony, revolting quasi-human who has probably never had an authentic conversation in his life, but I will not stand for you disparaging the good name of soup.

He did cross a line. He crossed a line into “being a dick” and “pestering her for sex”. That means he acted like a douchebag, that does NOT mean he committed sexual assault. He was sleazy for sure, but saying this is the same as people who literally force themselves on people is insane. 

A crappy date/bad sex is not a crime. Stop normalizing sexual assault by applying the term to any damn thing. It’s ridiculous.

You can argue whether he was a creep or not, but it was absolutely not sexual abuse in the 3rd degree. Either you didn’t read the original article (don’t, it’s so fucking terrible) or the New York statute you’re quoting.

Aziz Ansari doesn’t deserve the level of vitriol directed at Louis CK et al. CK masturbated to his subordinates then blackballed them with his influence. Aziz Ansari thought he was getting a groupie one night stand, she thought it was a date. Neither of them clarified their expectations for the night. He was an…
