The article about the Daily Mail and Meghan Markle says that they will pay her £1. Not £1 million. It’s stated there in actual headline and in the first sentence.

Why do you think that your opinion should supercede that of your pediatrician or the scientists who extensively studied, created, and tested the vaccines and recommended the specific vaccination schedule?

Case in point: me.

In my mind, the state of Britney Spear’s mental health has nothing to do with whether or not her father should be conservator, except to the extent that remaining in the role will have a negative impact on her mental health. Even if she is struggling and in need of some kind of intervention, that doesn’t justify…

Were you completely asleep for the whole “Princess Bride table read that upset Ted Cruz because it supported Democrats” thing? It was sort of a big deal.

I wrote this in response to LottaOtter, but I think it warrants its own comment, as this website often doesn’t seem to recognize that Jews, however white, however privileged some of us may be, are also historically part of a marginalized, shat upon group (to put it mildly), and that’s why many of us (not all, of…

Jesus fucking christ, Harron. Can you take 5 seconds to actually look up what you’re writing about beforehand?

The Rob Reiner thing immediately marks you as a complete ignorant.

THIS is why nobody takes young progressives seriously, by the way. None of you actually know anything, and you take every opportunity to parade…

Yeah, I can’t chalk that line up to any sort of youth-related blindness to Reiner’s politics. That’s just . . . routine following-the-election kind of shit that anyone in media should be doing during the campaign season as part of their job.

In addition to what other commenters have said about Rob Reiner’s progressive credentials, just a week ago, he and the surviving cast of The Princess Bride (minus Fred Savage and Malcolm Storry) livestreamed a table read of the screenplay (plus a Q&A after) to raise funds for Wisconsin Democrats. So that tweet isn’t…

Thank you! Rob’s father, the late great Carl Reiner, also made it clear his fondest wish was to see Trump out of office and actively encouraged people to vote. This family has been advocating for change and justice for decades. Please Harron Walker, do your research and don’t be insulting.

Or...you know, watching ANY movie he’s ever directed. (This Is Spinal Tap; Stand by Me; A Few Good Men; The American President; When Harry Met Sally; just off the top of my head). I know she’s young, but how does someone miss those movies?

I had to re-read that statement twice because I was so taken aback. Not sure how old this writer is, but you’re right, a 30-second google search could have provided her some insight. 

The fact that it’s a surprise to you that Rob Reiner is a liberal tells me that this the first time you’ve heard of Rob Reiner.

Georgina seems to have a boner for creeps. That sucks. I’ve been there.

Thank you so much for sharing this story, Prachi. This is the most incisive and heartfelt reporting I’ve ever read.

I am here for this. I need all the dirt on Brad and Ang.

I can tell you this happens with grooming, trust-building, and time... Not the same exactly, but my ex husband very slowly groomed and manipulated me into some really dark shit that I can see now that I didn’t want any part of (Related to the sub/dom type shit). Our relationship started out completely normal and…

It takes a long time to realize that people who withhold affection to try and control you will NEVER give you the love and acceptance you need. Ever. Short of a major Ebeneezer Scrooge-type personality change. You have to accept that and then make up your mind how much love and acceptance they deserve from you.

That was an amazing description and I feel like we grew up in similar households.

Right? Also, you do not owe anyone an explanation of whom you are or how you live your life. If you are on shaky ground/new territory, anyway, why come out to people who will only diminish and demean you? There are loads of exquisitely sensitive topics I feel no need to share with people who will use them as a dagger…
