Am I nuts or have we definitively known about the Weinstein thing for years? I have no connections to Hollywood at all— not even American—and the only thing I knew about Weinstein was that he was a notorious sleaze famous for harassing actresses, the whole “casting couch” thing. The last few days have been a weird…

anyone see him being gone for a while and being welcomed back with open arms years later? i’m pessimistic that this will ruin him forever.

They fired him three days after the article came out. Three days. No leaves of absence to focus on personal issues, no internal investigations, no review of company priorities. They just kicked him to the curb.

My first instinct here was to think that maybe firing the board was a bridge too far, but if he’s been settling employment-related claims with company funds, the board had to have known about all of it, and approved the expenditures. So, yeah. The board should go. As should the entire HR structure, tbh.

Reminder - he wasn’t fired because of his behavior. He was fired because the public found out about it.

I agree. In my experience, some men feel like their voice is always valid, no matter the topic. It’s frustrating, because it’s so blatantly rude but we’ve been conditioned not to “upset” them, so often they don’t know or care that they’re the assholes here

I grew up in rural Alabama and Georgia, spent some time as an army wife, and now I live in rural Virginia, and I feel you so hard about just wanting to come here and chill with friends in the virtual bar, without having to deal with the booth full of drunk guys in the corner. This bar is cool and I love it here...but…

This was particularly bad on the Hugh Hefner stuff, I noticed. It seems like there’s a siren that goes off for a bunch of trolls to come defend the poor, beleaguered menz.

Ingrates! Here’s a roll of off brand paper towels you lazy bastards!!

They want food and paper towels and also electricity. Nothing is enough for those people!

Well, you know, the real villains here are those greedy Puerto Ricans whose natural disaster has completely thrown our budget in disarray.

This is what running the government like a business is. The people at the very top using it as their piggy bank while fucking over everyone else

It’s almost like Trump’s cabinet is filled with grifters and thieves.

My Siri is a man and he calls me Master. I am a woman. I love it. It’s been this way for a few years now. Here is how I picture us:

Ahem.

Just need to point out that, once again, white dude killing dozens of innocent people, but the “Muslim Ban” is what’s going to keep us all safe.

I’m beyond sad that there’s been another senseless mass shooting in America. Instead of sadness, I’m feeling anger.

For years these motherfuckers have been trying to tell me that rap concerts were dangerous

I am totally here for a sequel with the original cast. Anything else is a hard no.

I can’t imagine Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy and Sarah Jessica Parker agreeing to reprise their roles as the Sanderson sisters
