Totally disagree with you. All offenses are not of the same moral scale, hence some are and can be minimum harm. If he grabbed her, it’s assault. If he kept her from getting work or tried to intimidate her, it’s harassment and discrimination. I’m NOT excusing him - I am accepting his apology and I accept the veracity

When I’m treated poorly - not abused or oppressed, mind you - by someone I tend to tell them as much. If they fail to rectify the offense, I either move on or escalate the grievance. That said, to temper the flames somewhat, I am neither female nor minority so I confess I can’t fully understand the experience. I

Wow. That’s quite a leap you’ve taken. She can and she did. I’m questioning why now and why so publicly. She’s a victim because he used hurtful language? Did he grab her? Did he limit her potential? I’m not excusing him but conflating his racist mean-mouthing with abuse is risky. 

I deactivated Twitter because it’s a fucking cesspool. Thanks, though.

What prompted Yi’s tweet in the first place? Could she not have, I don’t know, directly contacted David Cross the moment this trauma emerged from her subconscious? Everything always has to be so out there. A man said a shitty thing to a person once upon a time and absolutely owes her a personal apology. Personal:

It’s pretty clear by now the Democrats can’t save the US from Trump vis a vis beating Republicans alone. The Rs are pledged to Trump, and only by chipping away at the bond, encouraging rejection and defection, voters & congresscritters alike, can there be any realistic hope of ending this hideous slide. I’m not at all

I am a huge fan of your writing. Thank you. That is all.

TMZ is reporting on Weinstein’s contract with TWC from 2015, and it not only looks like everybody knew, it had a mechanism for dealing with his disgusting behaviors, namely, he had to pay out of pocket for his infractions. Worse still, it is highly likely his firing was not sufficiently for cause per the contract

I’ll take my chances in front of a jury.

Sounds like the system needs to be changed - it’s probably due for an overhaul. Clearly it leans 1950s male.

Rose McGowan needs to take back her “not my business” comments on Victor Salva from 2011. It’s incredible that that wasn’t and this is.

Say what you will, at least Scalise is consistent. He really credits prayer for his recovery and not the medical professionals & technology that his taxpayer funded platinum healthcare afforded him. You can’t fix stupid, with a bullet or otherwise.

Good grief. Isn’t this the plot of Mr. Robot Season 1 and a subplot of Fight Club?

Sounds utterly futile.

She was sentenced to die, then it was commuted to life, both of which suggest it was punitive in this case - so her rehabilitation was never an objective. Good for her on turning her life around in prison where the only person to who it could possibly benefit or matter is her. It is wrong in many ways that her age and

Best response: “I prefer original recipe, thanks.”

Nice that she gets to have kids. Really nice, considering she & Bernardo took the children of others.

Good grief, what a bunch of whining amateurs.

My little girl loves it so much she committed to a week of chores to earn the Blu Ray. Moana, not so much. FTR, I enjoyed both very much.

Oh noes! Dems obstructerating! They gonna taste big teach sticks.
