I for one am looking forward to avoiding my local NPR station any time I suspect that A Grassland Structure Assistant might be playing.

I could not agree more. I have not missed Gina one bit this season.

Right. In this context, at this time, “I didn’t grope anybody” is the exact same thing as calling the accuser a liar. Usually the political left is astute enough to know that “I didn’t grope anybody” and “I was groped” can co-exist under the “somebody is mistaken” umbrella, but not on this topic, not at this time.

Frank…

Ah, the old “My ignorance of what I was doing in no way excuses my actions, or invalidates the experiences of the women whom I may have hurt” gambit!

This video from Folding Ideas provides a pretty good summary of this crap.

(None of this is directed or addressed to good William Hughes. )

The problem is you seem to admonish the idea of making any distinctions by reducing these responses as “but he’s super nice,” as if anyone is saying he shouldn’t be held accountable - even he himself agrees he should be! It’s a straw man implication.

What you’re glossing over here is that there is a wide variety in conduct. There are real differences between rape, fondling a minor and aggressively kissing someone or grabbing a butt. From my personal perspective rape is never OK and I’d want someone who raped me to go to jail; on the other hand, if a drunk coworker…

My son is a picky eater but loves to cook. So we get him to try new things a lot of times by teaching him to make it.

That was such a PERFECT distillation of how teenage kids (especially a high school kid talking to a middle school kid) actually deal with each other. My favorite dialogue by far.

Fucked a fish, too.

Partly I’m amazed he’s endured as long as he has. But partly I’m aware that he’s a sycophantic cockroach able to pivot himself to wherever he’s best able to protect his filthy, chitinous hide.

Is Louis CK dead to people? Or do you think he will have a comeback sometime? I mean Mel Gibson is making movies again so I don’t think this is the end for Louis CK if he doesn’t want it to be. Is there anyway he could redeem himself in anyone’s eyes? Something I’ve always struggled with because lots of artists I like…

It’s less about the act and more about the fact that it wasn’t part of the script, and the ONLY reason Duffers added it in was BECAUSE it made Sink uncomfortable. That’s an asshole move, no matter what.

If this site has it’s way, every TV show will be nothing more than a group of diverse people openly discussing their grievances.

The script is not entirely full of shit, surprisingly. Mostly, yes, but not entirely. It’s referring to the DNSSEC Root Signing Ceremony, which is run by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority. It involves 7 different people doing an elaborately tamper-proofed update of one of the top level Domain Name System servers…

Good, maybe now Moynihan can finally make a show about Fourvel

I know people don’t want to get sued, but Henstridge said Ratner raped her. Brett is a rapist, not just a sexual harasser/ assaulter according to the allegations.

There was an independent theater in Los Gatos, CA that used to charge more for children, less for adults. Makes sense to me - you want parents to think twice about bringing kids into a movie ....

Just don’t get the awful updated version/sequel that features Elmo: “Another Monster at the End of This Book”. Ugh. I hate Elmo. He’s the Scrappy Doo of the Sesame Street universe.
