Damon is just trying to distance his sexual harasser buddies, Affleck squared, from his rapist buddy Weinstein. (Or Damon’s trying to distance his own behavior that hasn’t come out yet from Weinstein.) Anyway, teh menz is scared. And they should be. The sexual harassers don’t want to get lumped in with the rapists and…
Love both of these responses but especially Alissa Milano’s.
Also an insurance adjuster, and I’d make an argument along the lines of “would a reasonable person think an intersection is safe to cross if the path THROUGH intersection is obstructed?” You’re still supposed to look ahead of you when you’re going through an intersection, even if you’ve got a damn green light, so I’m…
Planet Grampa. Where hair of any kind even the totally bizarre equals viral and masculine. So funny.
Yeah, that’s what I meant. Poorly worded on my part. I can see updating the TV show for current times and making it work well, far more than I can see Yet Another Attempt At A HL Movie.
What is it with the Afflecks? Why do people keep making them happen? I blame Matt Damon and Kevin Smith.
Elizabeth Warren CRUSHED IT in the education hearing. I was in awe.
This is obviously just some rando fameball’s attempt to bring publicity to her “fashion” company (if that’s what we’re calling shitty T-shirt purveyors these days). She’s been on Millionaire Matchmaker. Like seemingly every other desperado these days, of course she has a fucking podcast.
It’s not up to Margaret Cho to alleviate Tilda Swinton’s white guilt. It’s not her job. She is not Representative Asian #4. If Swinton had mixed feelings, she has the money to avoid the role and choose something else. Once she chose to move forward and do the role, then who is benefiting from those guilt feelings,…
Yeah, it was still not okay to seek out an Asian person you don’t know to have the white person guilt convo, and that is really how it looks to me. She joked about it afterward, but the feelings of having to hear/witness/be asked to be in that conversation must have been maddening.
It really seems like Cho brazenly misrepresented their conversation. Huh! Not a good look
Except Tilda does a weird, insensible thing when she says, “I’m a Scottish woman of 55 who lives in the Highlands. There’s precious little projected on contemporary cinema screens that means a great deal to my life, if truth be told.”
the disgrace was the families suing in the first place. Just because a few people on comment boards and social media feel bad doesn’t mean you can do whatever the fuck you want legally. They hired ambulance chasing lawyers, turned down a hefty generous settlement offer, and then lost on it. PR? Fuck that. Don’t file…
Why shouldn’t she be friends with a chicken fucker, though? When you love someone you don’t love them for being perfect. You love them for being them. You don’t have any asshole friends or family?
I really, really tried to like the show. I honestly did. But the roundtable format just didn’t work — each commentator only had seconds to barely graze the surface on profound issues that really needed time to bloom in conversation. To make it worse, most of the time the guests squandered those seconds with stupid…
Yeah, anybody can block anybody on Twitter. If the first I hear of you as a person is you up in my @s yelling at me about something (at the same time that THOUSANDS OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE ALSO YELLING AT ME IN MY @S) I would feel no compunction blocking you, and fuck anyone who tells me I am obligated to patiently let…
All elite athletes are genetic anomalies, but this is the only one being singled out
I’ve disliked a lot of what I’ve read about Semenya, and this piece provides a good counter-weight, but Semenya’s circumstance really does trip over a lot of hidden faultlines in how we think about gender and how we think about sports.
This is a complicated and fraught topic, one that deserves a more thoughtful take than the one offered by Ms. Moskovitz. This is not about some cruel effort by men to define and control women’s bodies, as she glibly asserts. It’s about trying to create an environment where women have a chance to compete and succeed,…
