He might be the only person left in America who cares about Time’s “man (person) of the year.”

I hate these “women in solidarity with...” statements. Yeah, there are always going to be women who weren’t harassed. But just because it didn’t happen to you doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

I can’t say what was going through Charlie’s head, but when my friend told me the story, she was laughing and so was I (to defend myself, she was really funny and told it well). Her impression was that he was more pathetic and genuinely ... pursuing a relationship? Trying to proposition her for sex? in a REALLY sad

This is one I knew about directly. I used to work with a woman who had previously been an assistant on his show. He’d call her after hours and ask her to bring research or other stuff he needed to him at home, then answered the door in an open robe. It was kind of treated as a big joke at the show, that he was this

I’ve been waiting for this one - I used to know a woman who had previously been a PA on his show. He would call her after hours and ask her to bring him research or other stuff for the show at home, then answer the door in an open robe. When she talked to other people there, they told her he was famous for doing that,

“Sir, bad news. Your base is getting bored with our NFL race-baiting. We need new black athletes to fight with.”

Dude. Lena Dunham. Shut the fuck up. Go back to your bafflingly successful career and just Shut. Up.

Magnificent.

That’s my assumption too. The gawker thing was a blind item and I could see wanting to give a friend the benefit of the doubt, but it definitely seems like she knew something more concrete in the last year or so if the masturbation episode of One Mississippi and her comments to the times are any indication.

I know, that squicked me out too. Like, the Franken photo is pretty clearly intended (poorly, misguidedly, grossly) to be “funny,” not, like, a picture of an extended assault in progress. For him to go there was WEIRD.

JESUS.

She had to have known. Tig Notaro knew and had a massive falling out with him and she and Sarah are close friends. I’d find it hard to believe she was unaware.

Obama. Beyond that’s it’s a crapshoot.

Hey. Kinja. I’m ungreyed on deadspin and jez and I swear I don’t post offensive shit. Ungrey me everywhere, goddammit.

+2 weird thumbs up

Counterpoint: golf is fine. Ban the rich.

Yep. The political answer when your opponent is stepping on his own dick is to remove yourself from EVERYTHING and shut up. You don’t want to give them anything to respond to.

Nobody’s suing anyone. Roy Moore in a deposition answering questions about how many teenagers he’s “dated” would be the end of him. He can survive this and go on Breitbart or something if he just loses, but if he has to admit to trying to fuck kids under penalty of perjury? It’s over.

The Alabama senate race reminds me of nothing so much as Claire McCaskill’s last run for Missouri senate, where she just shut the fuck up and let Todd “Legitimate Rape” Akin hoist himself on his own very very stupid petard. It is entirely possible the dems could flip this seat if there’s a write-in.

New rule: you don’t get to have opinions about nazis unless your pizza is fucking edible.
