I think it’s amazing that they actually took the usual celebrity side hustle vanity project and made a real name for themselves. They’re actually successful and respected in another field, and aren’t even trading on their name and nostalgia for it. Good for them.

I’m close to their age, so when I was a kid and evaluating them as peers, they were incredibly obnoxious. Looking back at them as two toddlers forced to shill some of the worst crap in entertainment, none of that is really their fault.

I can’t explain it. It just resonated with my experience with cats. I move the dog over with my foot and she’s all “ok, sorry mom, clearly I was in your way” but touch a micrometer of a cat’s fur with your foot and you’re going to get a look that’s exactly what she typed. 

Person used to being on the government’s payroll goes on rant against government spending.

What exactly constitutes a “handout” in this dipshit’s opinion?

The core, fundamental purpose of society and government is to keep *everyone* safe. To keep the fire warm and the wolves at bay. Because we have found that making life better for all means that if there is a time in our lives when things are not great, we get help. Arguing against that notion is a good way to wind up…

What Allen did to this family, not even considering Dylan’s case, was despicable and monstrous. He ripped that family apart, without a second thought.

Her credibility does matter when the lynch pin of the entire conversation is whether or not she coached Dylan on the entire thing. There’s a reason why children’s allegations are investigated by professionals because children don’t always have the words or the means to articulate what happened. Interviews done poorly…

No, that’s not what I said. I said that conflating Woody Allen’s apparent interest in young women who are 17 - 21 in films, his relationship with Soon Yi when she was 21 and pedophilia is not accurate.

All parties involved agree that he never parented Soon Yi. He was not her father, not her stepfather and they did not live in the same house. I said I agree that it’s creepy. It is not, however, the same thing as molesting a child and it seems very strange that no other child has come forward and that no other…

I have my doubts about the allegations against Allen - not because I particularly like him or his work, but because many of the pieces don’t line up.

Nope, we’re not - But creeping on girls who are 17 - 21 is gross and creepy, but not illegal and not the same as creeping on 7 year olds. They are different paraphilia and they exist in different legal terms.

Soon-Yi and Moses Farrow have both accused Mia Farrow of physical and emotional abuse. Moses attributes Tam, Lark and Thaddeus’s deaths to Mia’s parenting and none of them died until adulthood - Suggesting they would have made allegations is baseless.

I’d even just like to see someone touch on the fact that Mia claims that Ronan is possibly Frank Sinatra’s kid because she was still sleeping with him during the entirety of her marriage to Andre Previn and relationship with Woody Allen, but kept that a secret and collected child support from Allen throughout Ronan’s…

I should know better than to open this can of worms and to be entirely clear, I’m not fan of Allen’s, I just find the whole thing odd - Most pedophiles don’t abuse one child and never do so ever again. The lack of other allegations is surprising.

I’ll be interested to see what the filmmakers do with the allegations made against Farrow. I honestly don’t know what to say about the allegations made by Dylan Farrow. I grew up in the area where they were prosecuted, and at the time, it certainly seemed like the events were taken seriously, investigated thoroughly,…

The effective punishments for Trump are petty things like the loss of his Twitter account and the PGA deciding not to hold tournaments at his golf clubs, because he is a petty person who values his brand - which is inextricably linked with his boundless ego - above all else. Having rich and famous people tell him NO,…

I think, with the denial of his Twitter account, you are seeing one of the few punishments that actually matters to Trump. Next would be news people refusing to take his calls. “No, I feel no need to interview you Donald, you’re just not relevant any more. As a nation we’ve moved on from you.”

I think that her statement can be true and yet also flippant and remorseless. While prisons definitely need a massive overhaul and shift away from punishment and toward individualized rehabilitation, this particular woman is such a piece of work that I translate her little diatribe to: “Well, there was nothing in it…

I no longer think there is anything on Graham. I have to believe it would have come out by now. I think he cleverly used that trope for sympathy until he found his fascist dream date that he could glom on to. Now we see the real him.
