This was a really tremendous essay. Just want to say that I was reminded at several points of Jessica Valenti’s “Sex Object,” which I note mostly because of how unfortunately common these experiences are, and the feelings associated with them.

I don’t think that was any kind of foul on Jefferson. Both of them ended up at about the same spot (particularly with regard to their feet), and there was no clear attempt made to disrupt Curry’s momentum. Just bad luck for Curry. There’s a better case to be made against LeBron, though I don’t buy that one either.

I think it’s truly unfortunate that people cannot effectively vote for what they want, by which I mean that you actually get what you vote for. If you voted for HRC and her agenda, you get that, and if you voted for Trump, you get that agenda. One can only imagine the rage that would ensue when the latter became…

All of the women are better people than the men are, and likely ever will be. This frequently seems true in general.

It’s not surprising to me that the Post is pushing harder than the Times and other newspapers, given its Watergate legacy. I don’t think anyone from then is still at the Post (and probably not that many are still alive; Ben Bradlee died in 2014), but some things stay in an organization’s system.

I mostly think of Sam Bradford as the man responsible for ending Tyrann Mathieu’s season, on a terrible throw Mathieu intercepted without an Eagle anywhere nearby (that Mattieu’s knee buckled on).

This doesn’t have much to do with the subject matter (which I strongly sympathize with, and certainly support the woman doing this), but these are really good pictures. They bring to mind Paul Graham’s work from Britain in the 1980s, which is iconic at this point.

She may effectively have done that, or be about to do that (hand money to a survivor, or more likely a lot of survivors), depending on the charity.

awful :(. I almost wish I hadn’t read this.

It’s not enough to ask women to smile on the street. Now they must be asked to smile and do everything just right (or else) when they’re being watched by tens of millions of people around the world.

All the awfulness of this aside, I would be most interested in knowing if Tantaros made allegations against Ailes specifically, or if she involved all of Fox News in the process.

It’s so easy to see that Nolan uses film (vs. digital) for his work. It looks beautiful. People and places look real, which paradoxically makes it easier to transport yourself somewhere else.

Did these people (like Steve Penny) follow the Boston archdiocese crisis at all? Do they know it happened? Over a long period of time?

The cinematography was spectcularly great in the show, and I think it’s important that half of the episodes were written and directed by a woman (not always the same ones, because the two creators sometimes switched off, depending on the episode).

And a woman director! Can’t overlook that. Not nearly enough films with women directing them, and this is one of the best (and is probably Jane Campion’s best).

Christina Ricci as Wednesday Addams— super iconic. She was in the first, but doubly so in the second.

It’s just a very small sensor camera that can’t begin to handle the dynamic range of the light in the picture on the right.

This is a bummer. For all his faults, Green drafted very well at times, and is entirely responsible for Larry Fitzgerald being in Arizona. His first draft class was superb (Fitzgerald, Darnell Dockett, Karlos Dansby, and Antonio Smith), and two of them are still in the league today.

Warren is older than I think most people realize. She’s already 67 (for comparison, FDR died at age 63). She has probably two additional terms in the Senate if she stays there. If she’s VP, that’s probably it for her (barring HRC’s death or resignation).

I think it can go both ways. A VP can influence policy in subtle ways, as Biden has done over the years. You’re meeting with the President on a regular basis and able to get across your thoughts to the President.
