That also read like a really good, “Come at me, bro.” She’s healing, she’s making things right, she’s moving on, but if this person wants to fuck with her, she’s ready for it.

In my experience, a drunk asshole is still an asshole when they’re sober. Likewise, I know a lot of really great people who are still perfectly great people even when they’re drunk.

The end of her essay is interesting:

Literally the goal of this was not for retribution against the ex, it’s so that she can tell her story, try to get closure, and hope that other people learn from it. It’s just a nice bonus if Hardwick gets boned. Stop being so mean.

Did this all happen back when this unnamed, mysterious, completely anonymous, nerd-culture mogul was a drunk?

How about you take a joke?

So we can stop supporting abusive assholes? Send a clear cultural & societal message that this behavior is not acceptable? Hopefully inspire others in similar situations to leave their shitty significant others?

“People arent allowed to speak publicly about how someone hurt them because the person who hurt them might get hurt.”

‘80s jocks were right - nerds are bad fucking news.

“The people who were in the van actually belong to the cat.” 

A cat will forget its name - or at least to come when its name is called - but it will NEVER forget a slight of any sort.

Revenge for cutting his joy ride short, no less.

I would keep one eye opened through the night if I was the owner of this cat. Rebel will get revenge, you know he will.

Exactly. I’m not against taxing the shit out of Amazon on principle. While they did didn’t intentionally fuck up the Seattle housing market, they predominately hired highly skilled, highly paid workers from out of state and expanded rapidly, created a housing shortage where new employees are able to outbid anyone who…

You should realize that many not rich Seattle residents opposed this tax because we have supported plenty of taxes in the past and they have been mismanaged as fuck. Durkan & co. need to put forth an actual plan FIRST and then we’ll talk money.

Team Tahani or Team Golden Retriever Puppy.

Me too. Also let it be said that as brave and outspoken as Jameela Jamil is about this and other causes, she also is really, really good as Tahani on The Good Place. She is so funny, but the character is often overbearing and exasperating, but in a way that you understand comes from her insecurities.

To be fair to Hirsch, he did this back in 2015, when we didn’t know it was wrong to choke a woman out at a party and never apologize for it. Is it fair to judge historical figures by present-day standards?

I stand with Jameela. And given our relative heights, I probably make a perfect elbow rest.

My detailed analysis is as follows: a bunch of fucking assholes bought the Newsweek brand, and put their fucking asshole editorial slant on it.
