I like “Shallow” about a 1000x better. “I’ll Never Love Again” is bland and overprocessed. I wondered if that was actually part of the (meta) point - Ally’s “sound” at the end had grown past the vulgar crap her manager was pushing but didn’t have the heart of her earlier music with Jackson.

I met Judy Blume this summer at Books & Books (her KW bookstore). It was such a treat. We must have chatted for a good half hour. She told me “Margaret” was getting made into a movie, but that she really hoped “Starring Sally J. Friedman as Herself” would get made into a movie which I heartily agreed since that one is…

Me too! The last thing we need is another sexual coming of age/hot 16 year old girl movie.

It defiantly sounds like a “a period piece”. I’ll see myself out now.

I just hope they don’t try to age-up Margaret. An awkward, unsure Margaret is the hero we all need right now.

Uber makes money off of him...Uber’s only cost is the app and their “marketing team”. This guy brings in profit, and Uber doesn’t have any reasons to be concerned beyond that. They don’t have drivers as employees for more reasons than employment tax and benefits cost evasion.

Right? Uber may not give a shit about assault, but he’s been ripping them off. You’d think that would be enough to make them drop him. 

Jesus Heloise Christ. How this dude have 11 other incidences of overcharging and driving people random places and he was still employed and endorsed by Uber to continue and escalate his fuckery?!

This is kind of beside the point but has anyone else dealt with the scam of drivers accepting rides, not moving at all so you’re forced to cancel and they can get the $5 cancellation fee? It’s happened to me 2-3 times in the past few months and at first, it was like pulling teeth to get them to refund the $5 but now…

I have no idea if he’s a good Catholic male, but he’s a shitty pharmacist and should be fired.

If you literally CAN’T do your job then you’re in the wrong profession, my dude.

When he dropped her off at her apartment, she saw a neighbor entering the building, told him about the assault and asked him to call the police....When police questioned Gaston a month later....”

That’s why I’m asking, and not assuming. Because when you make a blanket statement like ‘both are bad’ it’s easy to make the assumption that you think they’re equally bad. Most people, in fact, will take that statement in that way.

Are you saying they’re equally bad? Are you saying they happen at the same rate?

What if I told you violently assaulting someone is worse than telling a lie about someone, as reflected in the sentencing structures for rape and false allegations? What if I told you that it’s okay to be more upset about a thing that happens at an exponentially higher rate than the other thing?

I’m absolutely sobbing. I keep hearing how these “false accusations” are capable of ruining men’s lives. You know what ruins lives? Being raped.

C-sections can end in awful complications for women as well. On the one hand, it’s great that giving birth is no longer a 50-50 shot at survival, but on the other hand, we’ve really swung too far in the opposite direction in terms of minimizing public perception of the risk women assume when they become pregnant.

Personally, I was surprised by how many commenters on previous coverage here didn’t seem to get this. To me, Knightley in no way seemed to be criticizing Kate, and I could not see how people made the leap to come to the conclusion that she was. My interpretation of her essay was, and continues to be, that society’s…

This is why the climate is so scary for men. You can have five women come out of nowhere and accuse you of stuff you did, and maybe because of the whims of the news cycle, people take it seriously for a little bit, and you have to lower your profile for a while before your fellow mediocrities welcome you back into the…

The most fucked part is that she called her shot while testifying. She straight up said that she was going to be annihilated for this. And she is. She, the survivor, is the one who loses in this whole thing. The one whose life is completely fucked. I hate this planet.
