“I love that she keeps her personal life personal and I know nothing about her husband and kids.” That is pretty rare these days. Even rarer is when someone else’s same desire for privacy is respected, too.

So James Franco gave that photographer a Glasgow kiss? Maybe they’ll turn it into a movie directed by Ewan McGregor and Tilda Swinton can play James Franco. They can use me for their marketing, for free. Hey, I like to be of use!

I genuinely laughed. That photo is a blessing.

Great! So comforting.

Yeah, me, too. I notice a lot of little things like that that once escaped my attention.

“Hey, guys, welcome to Hades! This is where we live now! It’s so fun here!” Whatever happens, wherever this country ends up, and whatever happens to me, my conscience is clear. Cold comfort, but.

It doesn’t sound too different from countless reality shows and “content makers” courtesy of/sponsored by Viacom, ComCast, CBS, General Motors, Warner Bros., NewsCorp, etc.

“The Lochtes”

“but opening your med records to public scrutiny is insanity and to have it done against your will is unusually cruel harassment.” Yes, it is. And I’ve had to go through exactly this, and a great deal worse in terms of betrayal from doctors and the hospitals they work in. How a person could agree to do it, I would not…

“Only healthcare workers are bound by HIPAA. If you give me your psych records, I can be a dick and splash them around if I choose to.” Exactly. If you didn’t give written consent to your healthcare workers that your medical records can be shared, and with whom they can be shared, then those healthcare workers broke…

“HamNo has the “Gawker” philosophy correct, doxxing people wether it is a writer or an internet user is ok. If Jez is saying that the Univision policy is different, we should know.” No, it isn’t different. They just protect themselves from getting sued, but they care about a writer or internet user’s privacy about as…

“She’ll work there, until she finds her conscience.” She’s not looking for it.

“The unless is very simple—it’s unless someone in my household needs me or unless something changes in my own life.” Wow, lucky her! Having a choice is great, isn’t it? I remember it well. And those are great reasons to leave that shitshow of a campaign, Kellyanne. In the meantime, the pay must be great!

“Screw you, Shep. Not everyone has the freedom to do what you think they should.” Those people don’t care. I can’t stress that enough. They simply do not care, even the ones who seem lovely and personable. They are, comparatively, to the truly amoral, evil ones, and they won’t pass up an opportunity to throw you under…

Every time I see a photo of Holmes, I think of a line written by someone I was in a writing workshop with: “There’s a black turtleneck in my future.” A shame, too, because I loved that line because I thought it was funny.

“A court case would have been risky for both parties involved, however possibly riskier for Harris Faulkner (the woman) because without that concrete proof, upon possible failure, Hasbro could have gone after her for litigation fees.”

“but I’d be pretty pissed if someone decided to make money off of my image without permission and without giving me a cut.” Exactly. There isn’t one person I know who would be fine with that.

“McDonald’s employees have the right to work in a place that is free from harassment, intimidation or abuse, sexual or otherwise, or acts or threats of physical violence. We do not tolerate verbal or physical conduct that demeans another person, unreasonably interferes with another’s work performance or creates an…

“Are you trying to demonstrate a false equivalence?” Abortion is murder is the first false equivalence, so.

Perfect comment, and genuinely funny, too.
