But the rumors were always about a comedy duo. The Kirkman thing was always a completely different incident that got mixed up into it. So unless you believe that Kirkman was once two different people, I think you might be the dumbdumb!

I wouldn’t think so but apparently so! They posted unsourced, unverified rumors for years, but that’s not what got them shut down.

Well, when Gawker actually went and sourced something, they ended up sued into oblivion by a Trumpian billionaire so maybe they did the safe thing.

Jen Kirkman never once said she wasn’t talking about CK. She just said he never masturbated in front of her, which is probably true, because she never accused anyone of masturbating in front of her.

If the rumors had not existed, would anyone have dug into it to find out the truth? The entire impetus for the NYT article is “There’s a lot of smoke here, let’s go find the fire.”

There no anonymous allegations, just a rumor that somehow managed to be 100% exactly what happened magically as if pulled from the ether.

It was a hamster and it was *consensual*

There were no allegations because, as explicitly stated in the article, their careers were threatened if they continued to talk.

NYT story just broke. Tracked down the original women from the Gawker blind item(not Garfunkel and Oates), who have agreed to speak out explicitly, along with three other women he did it to.

I feel like when you’re cancelling movie premieres, even if what’s coming isn’t that bad that means you know you did something bad enough that you’re worried that’s what’s coming.

I love this song and the video for it is a hidden treasure.

Yeah, I’d say the secrecy still works because *Loki* doesn’t know what’s coming. His reaction to seeing the Hulk was priceless and then Thor getting “Puny godded” just...perfect. I loved it.

There’s no reason warp tech is a prerequisite to other subspace technologies. And it’s entirely possible they’ve not developed warp simply because they are literally not capable of leaving the planet anyway.

Saru has been very explicit this entire show that his fear is entirely instinctual and he can’t ‘get rid of it.’ It’s inherent to his species. The Pahvans linked him into their planet to the point that he realized that there actually nothing to fear on the planet at all. For the first time in his entire life, he felt…

He literally says exactly that. At the end. That’s 100% what he says that they removed fear for the first time in his life and that’s all they did to him.

Her running around with the Admiral was for an alternative purpose, either her stated objective of defecting or (more likely) a bigger plan. She didn’t need any info…

General Order 1 comes from TAS. It is *also* known as the Prime Directive. The terms are interchangable, but canon in the prime universe- other general orders were referenced in TOS. This is not the mirror universe, the Terran Empire should already exist at this time in the MU.

My impression wasn’t that it was something he invented, but that his ship is very, very old and might even be salvaged ancient Hur’q tech that had been in his family’s possession for generations, but never taken advantage of.

Tilly is so, so good. I love Tilly. I’m gonna be honest, I was looking forward to Zack’s reviews of this show having followed really closely with his classic Trek reviews and his take on this show has been disappointingly more akin to the gross Orville bros who want to shit on everything new and different than I was…

I mean, their best character is a pansexual, time-travelling, female James T. Kirk with ninja assassin abilities.
