“I know it’s two different writers”

Honestly not being rude or snarky here, but I don’t think you do. Because if you did, your post would have ended right there.

Different writers have different opinions. There is no one singular “Kotaku” voice/opinion, And even if we did take that claim at face value, I see nothing

I mean I would say a hospital bill is a much bigger prospect than anyone with an office- I got medical bills in the thousands for having a procedure at a hospital within my network. Also my insurance likes to send me flyers encouraging me to see a provider not at a hospital despite the fact my doctor is the only

Corden was born in 1978. Ergo, he's late Gen X. These generations were clearly defined by sociologists Strauss & Howe.

Let's see where all these Millennial guys land on the subject in 10 years (having inevitably packed on 20 more pounds and approaching age 50). Gen-X-men-on-TV Corden, Colbert, and Kimmel have all acknowledged wearing spanx (because you do whatcha gotta do). Meanwhile, women have been enduring the “beauty=pain” thing

And just as a side note, Democrats should not go around treating the Washington Examiner as a good faith resource.

There were a lot of beats in the early parts of Melissa's story that felt familiar. I think what people don't comprehend in these situations is that the feelings you have for a partner don't flick off like a switch during a violent outburst. When I was processing what had happened I was still negotiating things with

Hey Caitlin, I appreciate the way you wrote up the Melissa Benoist blurb. Seems like a lot of the internet is focused on identifying her partner at that time (which I gather is pretty obvious), but I can’t help but think that she didn’t name him because that’s not the takeaway she wanted for us.  Thanks for staying on

Meanwhile Amazon, Exxon,General Electric, Verizon, and others paid no federal income tax, but yes go after these few cases to distract us from how we are being screwed by big corporations.

Spotlight won an Oscar for telling the story of how the Boston Globe reporters had to fight against politicans, the Archdiocese, attorneys, etc.  to get the story of the Catholic Church covering up the abuse of children.

If this were the only piece he wrote, yes. But instead he wrote Pulitzer-Prize articles about the victims first. Then years later wrote this book. Would it never be okay for him to tell his story?

They’re both stories. One doesn’t negate the other. It’s weird to insist that he doesn’t have a story to tell and that he has to contrive to make it all about him is a weird one.

If your job is such that you don’t want people knowing who you are, perhaps you should be questioning your life choices.

This is a seriously awesome take after reading an article which directly explains the harm caused by the performers real names being public. Although, apparently the deranged people that target them are not at fault, it is on them for choosing that profession in the first place.

YES. I mean, clearly Megan was just looking for a different book. I think the tone of this review really does an injustice to Ronan. This story is a fascinating look into the behind the scenes power, why this story had never been able to be told before, and what it took to get it out. I think the women’s story is

This is a really perfect encapsulation of what the book is about, and it’s not like books about reporting a story are a new thing. Somehow, I doubt that if a journalist wrote a book about reporting in a war zone, and how scared they were being in the midst of that, that Megan would complain that this somehow

It seems pretty clear to me that in the course of reporting the Weinstein story - which was presumably first a piece for NBC TV, which by necessity morphed into a print article when it moved to The New Yorker - a second story started to emerge. It’s literally in the title of this book, “Catch & Kill.” Killing Farrow’s

The book is about NBC killing the story and Farrow trying to get it published.

I’ve found the loudest screamers of “east coast elite” are in fact east coast conservative white collar men who feel oppressed because they had to go a diversity training 15 years ago and won’t shut up about it. 

But Warren, now a frontrunner, will have to come up with a better answer to the question of how to pay for Medicare for All

Yes, but if you go out of your way to categorically state that you cannot find trans women to be attractive, based on an erroneous assumption that all trans women have penises, then it makes sense that some people are gonna look at you askew. Trans women don’t want to sleep with people who don’t want to sleep with
