Tom Brady: somehow the one white guy on the Pats who *can’t* catch a pass

This is shown to us in the court system. Anyone who is personally connected to either victim or perpetrator is dismissed from a jury. They know that stuff messes with your ability to be rational.

I’m surprised it took this long—I’ve seen this guy before he’s always seemed liked a stuffy old tool out of touch with the times.

it already exists! it’s called Another Period! and it’s perfect!!!!

Counterpoint: Sports bars are actually awful places to watch sports, and I routinely go to non-sports bars to watch sports in peace and quiet whilst eating food and drinking beer.

we are cognizant and sensitive to both sides of the discussion.

What a bold, progressive stance for the team to be taking in 1975.

My beloved Cardi B. also spoke up about Time’s Up on the red carpet calling out creeps that take advantage of women in the service industry including bartenders, servers, and dancers. She also mentions the music industry where women hoping to become video and print models being sexually harassed. You think your going…

I was so disappointed last night. Not only was the show just plain boring but it seemed to lack any resemblance of social relevance. Kesha was the only saving grace, and even then they had to ruin it by immediately pushing U2 down our throats.

I’m fine with judging 45-year-old men who prey on 18-year-old girls.

Can Brie Larson get a do-over too so she can hand the Oscar to Denzel instead?

He can fuck off with this. I hope it ends up just like the last one.

I wish I had a snarky comment for this. I’m out of ‘em. Fuck that ridiculous right-wing cabal of sham networks and everything they stand for.

She is one of those people who interviews incredibly well. Her podcast guesting anywhere is always a delight.

The Carrie Brownstein interview is long and fantastic (and really not about Fred). Definitely worth reading; thanks for the link.

Why does she need to say anything? Why do we immediately turn to the closest woman and burden her with the responsibility of answering for some shitty man’s actions? Why does it always bounce back on women?

MSU employees stonewalled these girls in 1997. It was an open secret he was a creep from at least that point. When an employee of the university was under suspicion of molesting young women, she let him continue to see the very same class of patients.

So I know you probably mean well, but this kind of negative comment to something so powerful comes off as concern trolling of the highest order. Maybe don’t cheapen someone’s words by saying “Oh, I love it, but I hope others don’t use it to say a shitty thing I’m about to say.”

On the one hand, I think Katie Couric is full of shit. But, also, she was there before Matt Lauer and he came on as her new co-host. I’m sure the power dynamic with her than it was with her replacements. After she left he was undeniably the lead.
