Nah, it is a little weird. Like, Josey is financially going to be fine. (Emotionally? Man, I dunno.) It seems more appropriate for someone that stupid rich to set up a Latinx scholarship fund in her memory or something.

College Fund:

The Glee co-creator is Brad Falchuk, not Bryan. AKA Mr. Gwyneth Paltrow.

Is this closure? Is this story now more sad or less sad? Was there some insane chance she would somehow turn up ok?

There’s certainly some bias from the author in that passage. I was happy when Gawker ate it because they somehow showed a negative amount of editorial integrity. The case was pretty BS, but wrapping yourself in an American flag, crying free speech and being a giant piece of shit like Gawker Media did doesn’t win my…

I notice the stated grievance here is not that Gawker was framed; or that a billionaire bribed the Federal judge so the case would go a certain way; or that a jury was bought; there is no claim that the legislature was lobbied to change the law in order to create a cause of action where none previously existed; there…

Never go alone. So many easy to prevent accidents happen because people go alone. having a 4 year old does not count and is even more of a reason not to go a lone. This happens often at the lake near our house. I think we had one July 4th where someone didn’t drown and it was record. Usually we get a death before and…

This is so sad. I grew up on the water/with boats and this is unfortunately a really common kind of boating accident. If she fell and hit her head or anything her child wouldn’t have been able to do anything to help her. This happens a fair amount in boating, adults will get lost in the water and kids will be alone on…

Britney seems to have hired the same interior decorators my rich childhood neighbours did circa 1989.

Crossing myself for having passing knowledge of any of this - but you didn’t mention the Shane Dawson fallout from him humping a photo of Willow Smith and his defense of pedophilia. I feel stupid for knowing who any of these people are even in an “I work with a bunch of very young women” kind of way.

I mean I honestly don’t see how new content creators are less problematic than old.

I don’t really follow YouTube stuff, but I thought Marbles was basically like the template for how to do it well. The problem with the whole attitude in this article is that people who want to do better, like Marbles, will leave and people who don’t give a shit, like Starr, will stick around forever.

Based on your comment history (which I regrettably looked at AFTER I replied to you), I honestly don’t think that anything I respond will be enough for you so I’m stepping back and not having this conversation with you. I know what I’m doing in the real world and how I’m continually learning, asking my friends what…

Yeah, let’s see: Tracie Egan Morrissey used to write for Jezebel, and she dropped this bit of brilliance during an interview:

My friend and I were talking last night about how we realise that things we thought/did/said when we were kids (growing up in majority-white, privileged neighborhoods) were no ok. We didn’t know it then (or at least we weren’t cognizant of the issues), we know it now, we’re doing what we can now to bring light to…

Now don’t get me wrong - I think Jenna did an amazing job of accountability, but I mean I honestly don’t see how new content creators are less problematic than old. Or how they need to make room for more younger creators — youtube doesn’t have a size cap.

Dillon’s right, of course, it’s really pretty stupid that the acting categories are gendered. That being said, the way that awards get votes on and decided is also stupid and there’s no doubt in my mind that if they weren’t gendered we’d see women less than men, and if Dillon got nominated they’d likely be the only…

I happened to catch Jaws about 2-3 weeks into the pandemic and the similarity of that situation to watching the Lt Gov of Texas basically telling the senior citizens of Texas to “take one for the team” and launch themselves headfirst into the shark’s mouth...well that was one big guffaw I let out when that epiphany…

The cop vs. shark angle seems like a poor fit with the BLM movement. If I were to analogize current events to Jaws, it’d to compare COVID-19 opening issues with the mayor’s decision to keep the beaches open for the sake of the economy despite the obvious evidence of danger.

The opening paragraphs are not any better. Trying to link current events to a movie just because it happens to have a cop as the main character, especially a 45 year old movie, is just stupid.
