Since the Hollywood Walk of Fame is more of a promotional thing than it is a real honor (the “honoree” has to pay $40k to get one or have that money paid on their behalf), getting a star often happens as a part of an awards campaign. I assume that’s what’s happening now.

The saving grace is that Andy Warhol would have loved this story.

Pretty sure that after this interview hit, a few days alter more allegations came out against Hoffman. So either the stories were already coming out (and the victims probably felt really cool seeing John Oliver ask Dustin those questions) or the victims felt empowered enough by Oliver’s questioning to come out. Either…

I’d be more sympathetic if Beyoncé weren’t so keen on using other people’s artistic property without crediting or paying them, herself.

I sure hope PornHub doesn’t start calling people out. You know, for my friend’s sake.

C.K. was a pioneer in direct-to-consumer sales via the internet. I wonder if he isn’t going to try to monetize this piece of shit.

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…

I see where you are coming from. I really do.

They should hit him where it hurts, make him move to West Hampton.

Cool. Don’t throw hands. I sure as fuck won’t.

Wait, what is this story? Because he didn’t acknowledge a stranger he’s an asshole? Yeesh.

man how many Barack Obamas do you think we get for every Matt Lauer/Harvey Weinstein/Bill O’Reilly/whichever-the-fuck-troglodytic-troll-is-next? I’d bet like 1:100, at least. THE MATH JUST DOESN’T WORK OUT.

Matt fucking Lauer. This fucking dirtbag is just one more example of structural media misogyny. His treatment of women isn’t a “behind closed doors” problem that only affected the poor employees he harassed, bullied and exploited. Does anyone else remember the sexist shitshow of presidential debate that Lauer…

They needs to be a class-action lawsuit against NBC by the women who worked there during the entire time Lauer was employed. They knowingly harbored a predator, creating a hostile work environment for every woman who worked there.

Wow.

“mother” is the essay we all wrote in our freshman year of college

Easy to say from the comfort of a much freer country. But the North Koreans face a serious collective action problem. Even if enormous numbers of them would be willing to rebel, it’s difficult to coordinate with others, since anyone who makes the first move is likely to be killed and would die for nothing.

i just reinvinted my entire social life. it can be done. for different reasons than you. sociopathic people who betrayed me. i thought this group was so important to me, that i needed their connections and needed them to elevate me - - - and i’ve just gone on to meet other amazing people and have a new boyfriend,…
