People like Jeff Bezos are the reason I won’t make it even 2/3 of the way to 80.

if I ever interview him, that will literally be the first question I ask

I’m sure that this was all due to economic anxiety.

The first thing the reporter said got me going.

You know I was thinking and that’s actually another great sign of Hollywood sexism; the things that make Courtney Love “undesirable to work with” are the same things that made people say things like “Robert Downey Jr would make a great Iron Man”.

She didn’t say she was blacklisted. She said she was banned from speaking out against him. The implication being, since attention to detail doesn’t seem to be your strong suit, that her agency would no longer represent her if she continued telling the truth. CAA is arguably the most effective talent agency in the…

Yeah, if it’s a choice between working with someone with a history of substance abuse/mental illness or a serial rapist, I would be Team Former Substance Abuser/Mentally Ill.

And you wonder went people don’t speak up. You first impulse is to attack her with a cheap joke. You’re part of the problem.

She’s a good actress who made the common mistake of being a woman in Hollywood who’s aged.

We don’t need a bounty on reasons to impeach Trump, we need a Congress that is willing to impeach Trump.

I think you can consider him progressive. Especially regarding journalism and publication.

So I will use this as an opportunity to bring this up, it’s something that has been in my head for some time now. It really belongs on Deadspin, but I don’t think I am welcome there.

And we have the right to laugh at his miserable and vain stunt.

Also to be added to this list - how much they fucked the native podcast app. Everything is at least 2 clicks now instead of one. Just, fucking, WHY apple? WHYYYYY?

I strongly dislike the large, bold type for those headers. I know it’s “Messages” (or whatever). I clicked on the icon. I don’t need a super huge “MESSAGES!!!!!” at the top to remind me.
