Yeah, there was so much "Gilbert Grape would never beat his girlfriend!" from people who "grew up with" him and felt a weird personal need to defend a sketchy millionaire stranger.

It wouldn’t surprise if we eventually find out that Depp’s team discreetly paid for the services of some overseas bot farms.
It makes me sick how people were lionizing Depp as if he was St.Johnny. Fuck that miserable old drunk.
Oh, I can definitely believe some bots but agreed: actual women I knew were supporting him and it was confusing. I actually lost a friendship over it, because she would so consistently spam me with “the truth” that I finally had to ask her to stop putting it in front of me before it ruined the friendship. She...felt…
It would have been nice if someone like her step-mom at least debunked some of the anti-abortion talk but at the same time that is the sort of thing they shout at you so it’s realistic.
But she literally gets talked out of an abortion because an anti-choice protestor tells her that her fetus has fingernails. You could still have the movie unfold as it does in countless other ways without giving legitimacy to that anti-choice bullshit.
It was genuinely incredible. There was absolutely no escape anywhere; twitter often had the trial as a trending news item you literally couldn’t get rid of. Facebook shoves “reels” in your face, and every time I loaded Facebook the majority of the top-surfaced reels would be ones making fun of Amber, examining her…
The Heard stuff was weird because I’d see a ton of stuff that seemed like bots or trolls... but also women I know in real life where it seemed very out of character.
There was so much pro-Depp stuff on social media, it was insane. Does anyone know who/why there was such targeted harassment? was it just sexist trolls or was it a more concentrated effort? Like was there an actual political organization behind it?
With this, the overturning of Roe v. Wade, etc, if you didn’t believe it before, believe it now: It’s open season on women. Take any and all appropriate measures.
The Bernie conundrum is based on an assumption that he could have brought along the same portion of the base as any other candidate to the general election. The problem is, if he were a candidate capable of doing that, he probably would have competed better with Clinton in the first place. If the superdelegates had a…
I think the movie does a good job showing how vulnerable you are being young and pregnant. Juno is taken advantage of and influenced by a lot of other peoples expectations on her body. I didn’t find it anti-choice, instead I think it did a good job of showing what a traumatic experience it is having so many others…
It was a simple enough question to answer, instead you just handwave at things that are tangential to the core of protecting abortion rights which is the judiciary. That’s kind of like Mary Todd Lincoln going on at length about the merits of Our American Cousin when reminiscing about what she was doing the night of…
Did Kaine ever vote against a judge because he thought they might uphold Roe?
Anyone with any damn sense could see this coming, so yes, the people who refused to vote for Hillary ensured this outcome. They aren’t to blame for the actions of conservatives, but they are to blame for knowing what those actions would be, and choosing to do nothing to prevent them.
Yeah. I weirdly feel happy for them even though I think it’s pretty silly for us to be invested in any celebrity relationships. But it always felt like they were harassed about their relationship to the point that breaking up was the only reasonable thing to do.
I mean, we can admit Hillary did not campaign well in the critical three states she lost, but we can also admit a lot of the votes going to, say, Jill Stein in some of those states would likely have gone to Clinton. We can also admit that the people who didn’t vote for her because they were protesting that Bernie fairl…
I’ve pretty much now cut off all my friends who decided to “vote their conscience” in 2016...which somehow meant staying home or voting for Trump (!) but not Hillary. I can’t forgive them now.
Votes have consequences. People could not hold their nose or lift their butts off the couch to vote for Hillary, so an easily-manipulated autocratic buffoon got to power, and now we’re on the path to exchanging a somewhat screwed-up democracy (where voters do not elect directly the most powerful figure of government) f…
The only purpose of woman is baby machine.
