As soon as the bells rang, she knew that Jon would be the placed on the Iron Throne. If he ‘saved’ the city and Cersei was put aside, people were gonna give the win to him. So not only did she lose all of her friends and the people who protected her, this man that she lost two of her children for was going to take the…

Yeah, and very much what Jezebel is supposed to be for. Using “woman owned” as a cover to make cash when the business wasn’t founded that way or even majority-owned for the bulk of it’s existence is pretty much fraudulent advertising. Great that all the staff are women, but I would have been pissed if I went there…

They attributed it to the dog bite, but that was some speculation as it was the one thing that was publicly known. Now there’s some more context, so yeah, it could have been this kind of stuff instead.

“Applied for political asylum” - yeah, they were murdered, probably? Occam’s Razor...

Just because Samantha Geimer wasn’t traumatized doesn’t mean we ignore this shit. Other 13 year olds ARE traumatized. And she wasn’t the only underage girl Polanski abused. Nastassja Kinski was as well - and she was abused by other movie executives. She admits to being traumatized by it as an adult and says she…

Trump himself treats women as disposable, as usable as these men who rape and murder women. His mindset is similar to theirs - women are objects for them to manipulate and discard and not think about again. 

“Without being able to confront your accusers and their accusations” - in court, when you are charged with a crime. Defending a right to ‘confront people who have been talking about you behind your back because you are an asshole’ as though it’s a legal right is laughable.

I think feminist thought has become a lot more refined than it was when Buffy was written originally, and for that reason the original doesn’t really hold up very well by modern standards. There are lots of pixels showing when it’s viewed in Feminist Hi-Def. Which is also true of Joss Whedon, unfortunately. I don’t…

They DID pivot based on the reaction. If you look at the original statements about it, it was going to be a complete redo of the original - a remake - from the origin story onward. This announcement is definitely a course-correct based on public reaction.

In 1731 King Frederick I of Sweden received a lion as a gift, and when it died he had the lion stuffed and mounted. But the taxidermist had never seen a lion before, and only had the skeleton and pelt to work with. This is what he came up with. 

As literally all of us trans people will tell you - that’s completely unnecessary to the story. Trans people are fantastic at portraying the gender they were assigned at birth; we act the shit out of that our whole lives. We can certainly do it for a movie if we need to. 

Due process is exactly what’s happening. It’s standard human resources procedure to put people on leave while credible allegations are investigated. There are enough witnesses that the company has already talked to to make it a credible allegation. Read the details instead of reacting to the headlines. “Due Process”…

I stopped subscribing to the nytimes because they didn’t fire GlennThrush and told them why when when I stopped. Totally unsurprised there was more to the story than what they considered while reviewing his employment there.

What Bill Clinton did to Monica Lewinsky was unethical, misogynist and disgusting.

No, Jason. No.

What’s up with the “She’s running?” in the headline? Is that a pop culture reference, or just a gender slam of some sort?

I personally tuned in just because Claire Foy is hot. Hell, Elizabeth was hot. Phillip was hot. Matt Smith... not as good looking as Phillip was, sadly. Probably less sexist and racist though, so....

THIS! Thank you.

Nah.

Not specifically for this. But he’s calling them back for some other bullshit stuff, since they managed not to fix the critical problems with DCS in Indiana. Of course the GOP has super majorities in both houses of the state legislature, so the *should* be able to pass whatever they want, but they got not jack done…
