It’s been my impression that beef cattle aren’t one and the same with cows used for leather (this jacket is actually lamb, I think, so the whole answer may differ), but I wouldn’t swear to that. Either way, I think Joan was kind of joking about how we’re all supposed to feel bad if we eat meat (bad for earth/bad for…

No one asked whether vegetation farming was sustainable, nor did I answer that (unasked) question. OP asked whether leather was considered a sustainable commodity like beef. Neither are sustainable.

Beef isn’t generally considered sustainable either, given that a pound of it requires roughly a catrillion gallons of water to produce.

I keep reading comments alluding to some change that happened (eliminating Deadspin, etc.) but I’ve been semi underground with a newborn and missed what exactly happened, and googling “bad changes at the erstwhile Gawker media; commenters unhappy” or “Spanfucker” is unlikely to give me answers. Any chance you can fill…

Plus, Bowen Yang is out and Harry Styles is a vocal, seemingly very sincere advocate for LGBTQ visibility. This isn’t where gay bashing is going to come from (plus, you’re right: the joke was that it was explicit, had typos, etc., not that it was gay).

This. It’s like white feminists developed a hair trigger for getting called out for white feminism and rather than carefully parsing issues and our own racism to determine when we had blind spots, we started just screaming about white feminism every time a woman was shitty so no one could accuse us of being shitty…

Er, what’s with the random slut shaming here? Miley must have an STI? And Cody, we know, must not since...? Girlfriend has been annoying as shit lately, but I don’t really see any reason for this. (PS using a condom is always a good idea, no matter who you’re having sex with. I mean, assuming there’s a penis involved.)

Look, I have a shameful soft spot for Kanye that I just can’t shake. I’ll admit that before I make this argument.

My hatred of Camille Paglia stems from the fact that her arguments are so rhetorically weak and yet she has the reputation she has. I honestly think (hope?) if she’d been born 30 years later, she’d be a laughingstock. I remember having to read an essay in undergrad in which she compared getting date raped while drunk…

You really need to consider why your bar for believing a woman making a claim his own team doesn’t even call false is so high. Sure, she’s got texts. She’s got witnesses. But there’s no outcry witness, so there’s room for doubt? Do you know how many abuse survivors don’t tell anyone? Are you really unfamiliar with the…

Are you sure his didn’t lock the door? Every report I read indicated that it locked, not just closed, the door and was special in some way as compared with others.

It’s a moment when you’d think a publicist or someone (maybe everyone with sense has abandoned him?) would say, “Matt, for someone claiming not to be a rapist, you’re definitely talking a lot like a rapist. See here? This paragraph?  How it’s like these women owe you something? That’s like, really fucking rapey.”

Luckily for Matt Lauer, people wanting to fuck him has rarely had a correlation with him actually getting fucked. I’d be shocked if he’s having trouble getting laid, the vile pig.

His assertion about the book doesn’t even make sense. She’s peddling her story...to sell someone else’s book? You know that because Ronan Farrow is an actual journalist, Matt, he didn’t pay the woman you assaulted for her story. I know it’s hard to imagine, after getting paid a fortune for decades to play a journalist…

Google Jeremy Bieber. Literally any random thing you land on that he’s said or done will fill out the picture. He’s That Dad straight out of central casting.

Tampon. Impersonators.

You’re able to like a candidate and also admit his flaws? Get out of here, the internet doesn’t have space for that kind of thinking.

This is a super important lens and one worth considering. There have definitely been times when he wore something to a premiere, etc. and I’m ashamed to admit I thought, “Jesus, Jonathan. Like, we get it. You wear dresses and heels.” As if his style and self-presentation was some sort of performance of femme for my…

I work with anthropologists, so I’ll ask one. I’m betting they’ll agree with you.

I’m not a doctor or a psychiatrist but I’ve spoken with Natalia and I believe her. If you’re asking me if I think she is 30, that’s ridiculous.
