“30-model brawl” is the kind of writing I want to read

“Penchant towards branding” is an interesting way to describe him putting his name on shit.

Oof, SML1—you’re right.

I would really love to see Laura Bush argue how she’s not on the side of Babylon

I’m glad that it appears she escaped relatively unscathed, but even so, this somehow was the most anxiety-provoking account of Weinstein I’ve read so far. This was like reading a play-by-play of a hostage negotiation.

Just here to say it—fuck Chris Brown

To me there’s always been something highly suspect about a male auteur who repeatedly subjects the female main characters in his films to continual humiliating abuse.

Exactly. The post-event arrest and repression scorecard generally makes the intentions behind the rhetoric eminently clear.

I thank my lucky stars that I was able to inhabit the world at the same time as her.

I know we’re mostly talking about Woody Allen here, but I really still don’t get how anyone can rationalize working with Polanski, a confessed and convicted child rapist.

I want to make sure we note that Terry Crews’s blackness is in no way incidental to him being grabbed.

Trade an ally for an accomplice.

I wish I could figure out the dynamics of open secrets around powerful men, whatever the context. I mean, we’ve been hearing this stuff about him for years—same thing with Cosby—and I’m sure we’ve all heard about similar situations on a smaller fame scale (I’m thinking about academia here). I think we all have a good…

We seem to be moving towards the general consensus that our shoes make us walk wrong:

Fuck you, Betsy.

I mean, I guess if he’d replaced her BCPs with placebos and then they had sex that would be 100% stealthing, so maybe this is, to use the terms of that article, rape-adjacent-adjacent, but shit, this is some fucked up shit.

People have already said that these are warning signs for abuse, but is this not basically a form of stealthing? And therefore a form of sexual assault? Couched in the form of a cute story? And wtf?

Tele-Trump v. Rally Trump is like Smeagol v. Gollum, with the difference being that I actually have compassion for Smeagol.

“Can you picture yourself under any circumstances putting Trump’s head in your mouth?”

Re the Hearties: I find it strangely life-affirming when I find out there are groups of rabid fans for something I didn’t know existed and have no interest in.
