I had this thought too. I myself once prefaced some shitty thing a man had just done to me with, “I made the mistake of...” My therapist said to me, “You know that you didn’t make a mistake, right??” So I can definitely see the former employee as having made that comment herself, but yeah, might help to clarify that…

A girlfriend just finalised her divorce from her physically, emotionally and financially abusive husband. The prick and his c%nt of a lawyer thought that it was a winning idea if he’d put himself into therapy and admit all of “faults and failings” as a man and husband (his words not mine) before the horrific abuse and…

This is exactly why I extricated myself from geek culture a long time ago. Although the seeds of it definitely were present in the ‘90s, at some point in the ‘00s geekdom became a den of truly vile misogyny, which reared its head publicly with Gamergate. And, of course, since this was a movement full of resentful…

Someone this stupid and bad at brain-thinking probably shouldn’t be running a business. And yet, there are so many others like him! Running businesses!

“I’m such a horrible person, I’m so sorry, you must hate me right now” is a classic tool of the abusive partner.

All the harassment stories that have come out have had varying degrees of repulsion for me — Weinstein, horrified; Batali, scandalized; but these guys my first visceral reaction is “where do these fuckers get off with this shit?” Like these nerdy fuckers who couldn’t get a date in high school now reveling in their…

Spurlock and his ilk are doing exactly what my ex used to do: preemptively come out and admit shitty behavior, verbally and publicly self-flagellate, agree with every assessment critics make about their character so they don’t have to listen, and hijack the conversation to talk about what huge assholes they were, but…

And I’m right there with you. Rupert Friend was also freaking amazing.

Looks like somebody stole your identity on this very thread.

I’m still fucking irate about what they did to Quinn. He was THE best character ever. I’ll die being mad about it, I don’t care.

Srsly. What all’d they put him though... being disabled getting crappy healthcare, being unable to speak/communicate, drug addiction, being woken up AMA, being locked up and beaten senseless, being sent to not exist with all that trauma (that one is the saddest to me) to be an assassin, being mangled more getting shot…

This is what being an ally looks like! Thank you, John Oliver, for using your privilege to hold Hoffman accountable. For any men wondering ‘what do I do’, this is it. You speak up and don’t let abusers get away with idiotic responses.

And the winner of the Darwin Award iiiiiiiisssss.....

I’m assuming this is a stupid question: he’s never been in a plane? That would fly at like, I dunno, 35,000 feet? Or do rockets have magical space properties?

I think Darwin had a theory for this. Nature will work this out.

Effing idiot. Next time you get sick, don’t get medical attention, that’s all science.

I can’t wait for him to find out that the Earth is round! Too bad he won’t survive that discovery.

I DID SEE ONE, it was a man and a lady and they had like three piles of money. ALSO I saw one of two ladies (on a subaru! I loved it) and it was just cats.

Or these heathens.

I’m also not surprised by it, but I find it hilarious. You go, lady.
