I know people like to hate on James Franco, but I like him for some reason. I was pissed at his fucking atrocious performance when he hosted The Oscars, though. I was like, dude!!! WTF???

Am I the only one that think Franco is so weird if he did anything bizarre he would have done it in full view of the public and we’d already know about it?

It’s about time. I’ve been waiting for the Hadid sisters to say something about Palestine. It is just such a one-sided topic that even suggesting liberation for Palestine gets you called anti-semitic even by leftists. The current paradigm is: Palestine = Muslim terrorists who want to eradicate Jews, Israel = only…

All this time, with all these protests, and all the killing going on in the Middle East due to Trump’s announcement, he still claims it was a good thing and that it’s peaceful and nothing is wrong. Trump also quickly went back on his word and the US embassy will NOT be moved from Tel Avid to Jerusalem. He literally…

Since I’m not getting back any response from the Jezebel techies, I’ll just ask it here: am I the only one who’s having trouble signing in? I can’t get into my account on my phone (ongoing problem for the past months) or my computer (since Friday). I’m using the latest updates of everything on Mac devices. And the…

Ok I’m just going to be asshole who says it but why is Selena getting the Billboard Woman of the Year award? Not that I’m sure it’s a weighty award or anything but Selena, sorry not sorry, is a mediocre singer at best. Her singles do fine but they’re not huge hits, she’s not really an activist of any sort, she hasn’t…

It was mentioned at the end f this story that the White House had needed to install a new toilet seat in the Oval Office restroom: https://theslot.jezebel.com/the-white-house-is-a-vermin-infested-hellpit-1820913827

I’m not so optimistic. Everyone is leaving off the second half of what, specifically, he said. This is what leads to the deplorables screaming about the media. He said Trump asked him to talk to the Russians about ISIS. OK, yes, obviously the Russian collusion thing is awful on every level. But there’s such an…

When people say “We survived Reagan, you’ll survive Trump” I like to remind them of the Reagan-led genocide of (primarily) gay men. So no...fuck you. We did not all survive Reagan. My generation (and some of the Boomers) lost the best and brightest of us all and we’ve never recovered from that loss.

Some of the most highly regarded journals are open access, and they may charge authors (or their institutions) for that publishing option, but yes, the predatory open-access journals without meaningful scientific review are right there too, and it is not easy for even an educated layperson to always recognize the…

It would significantly damage the reputation of a serious researcher to have their work published in a crap journal. But in some less developed parts of the world, a paper published in “The American Journal of Advanced Science, Technology, Medicine, Research, and Higher Education” can sound like the real deal.…

Tarantino making a movie about this is exploitive [sic]

Debra Tate, Sharon’s vigilant sister ... said Jennifer Lawrence, rumored at the time to be considered for the role of Sharon Tate, was not pretty enough to play her sister.

I don’t think it’s a ‘trend’ since it’s been going on since the 70s though, and it’s not like other types of films don’t get made. I mean, there are enough movie genres to satisfy everyone. I love a good QT movie the same way I’ve always loved mob movies (also often ultraviolent), movies about drug cartels, war…

Whatever. I’ve enjoyed pretty much every movie of his immensely and I’ll be here for this one too, “sensitivity” be damned. As for whether or not he can add anything ‘meaningful’, I wouldn’t be surprised if he did just that. There have been countless WWII movies made and yet Tarantino managed to make his mark on that…

It was the largest crowd in annual lightings. Period.

I appreciate Tarantino because when I was in high school his movies were introductory points to the French new wave, Spaghetti westerns, blackspoiltation, and kung fu movies. He threw me down rabbit holes that Scorsese, Ford Coppola, Spielberg, etc. didn’t.

I sure hope a bunch of people drop comments calling the movie distasteful, tacky, etc. before they know anything about it (other than that it might have something to do with Manson, despite the one guy who actually knows what it’s about saying it’s not, really).

You’re an idiot if you have to ask why.

I thought the entire point of wild parties is that you never have to see those people again.
