Plenty of people have smoked and lived into their nineties. That doesn't make smoking a good thing.

I couldn't help but notice how many comments (and Recommends for those comments) there were in the original piece about how we need to stop body policing. Far more than in articles about heavy/overweight/plus size women, where the back-and-forth arguing about 'health' always seems to go on ad nauseam.

I don't go to CU, but our philosophy students have the same reputation. All the girls in the department are wonderful, as are some of the guys, but the guys who are assholes have an interdepartmental reputation for mansplaining and general assholeness like you wouldn't believe. They won't even pay attention to…

Dear god. I haven't even read it except for what's quoted above, but what the hell. Have you ever considered that the tape might have gaps because Dylan was a fucking child talking about abuse at the hands of her father. OF COURSE Farrow's going to stop recording and take breaks when it feels like too much, she…

I hate that people are body shaming her, because this show glorifies "getting healthy" and "losing weight", but then this poor girl does what everyone on earth wants her to do and she gets railed. I'll admit, her weight loss is pretty shocking. 60% of her body weight? Wow. It's just — there is so much to say, but I…

It's "on a roll."

I took philosophy classes there—one taught by a somewhat obtuse, but otherwise inoffensive dude and the other taught by a pretty cool dude, but cool dude might have been on loan from environmental sciences or something. I do remember kinda hating the philosophy majors I met, something I still feel in my current…

I ended up quitting grad school which I regret but there were reasons.

I too can only offer anecdotal (but direct) evidence. In my experience the phil dept at CU was especially, egregiously insufferable in a city that practices a very advanced level of insufferability*.

...Except for Mia is not Frank Sinatra's former girlfriend's daughter. Pretty significant difference there.

Ha!

But when you deconstruct the words "sexual harassment" down to the base of a sign, a signifier and the signified what does it really mean?

This sums up my feelings nicely.

Especially when he veered off saying she was awful for saying Sinatra may be Ronan's father while his widow is still living. How is that relevant?

I agree. I started reading it last night and couldn't get past the first third, which was basically only how his relationship with Soon-Yi is no big deal and speculation about Mia's commitment to Woody and how crass she was for saying Ronan may be Sinatra's while his widow is still alive. He doesn't give a shit about…

I know. When I saw Simon Pegg shared the article my heart died a little.

Yeah, I actually said, "WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT??" aloud at that one.

Pretty much.

The unspoken part that comes after that is, "but I'm going to go ahead and do it anyway" (insert victim blaming)

Isn't this his daughter?
