The Kardashians Koverage has gotten me so cynical that I just wonder whether Jordyn Woods has her reality show contract signed yet.

Actually, it’s kind of the exact opposite--this shows how very difficult it is to convincingly fake an attack, and how easily the stories of people lying about being assaulted crumble under investigation. Nobody is sincerely equating “believe victims” with “don’t investigate crimes”; that’s a straw man used by rape…

I wasn’t addressing the issue of whether social media is “carte blanche grounds for firing.” I’m simply saying that public-facing social media is not your “private life.” Your private life is what you keep private. The things that you choose to do publicly, on purpose, in public-facing media, are not private. They are…

What you post on public-facing social media is not your private life. It is your public life. On purpose. Because you’re choosing, voluntarily, to make it public.

One of the things I read said that he (probably) sent the letter,and when it didn’t garner a significant media or authority response,he ratcheted up the stakes. Either way,this is so messy. He was on a hit show. He had an album coming out. He had a lot going on. And all that is going in the garbage now.

I’m just confused as to why he did it. Like, what did he get out of this? Didn’t he think that he’d be found out eventually?

I just love that storyline in the book.

The primary impediment to showing direwolves on screen is how expensive and tricky it is to shoot with regular wolves.

For what it’s worth (little), the books did also have multiple extremely unsubtle hints that Nymeria was gathering her wolf army unto her, so this all clicks.

I love this article because I see and understand both sides. Wine can absolutely elevate a flavor palate. I totally see the benefit of drinking red wine with steak, or white wine with pasta. But I’m glad that a master wine-o is here saying that if I want to drink a red with pasta, or chicken, or whatever, then I can…

Captain Kangaroo, Mr. Green Jeans, and every male neighbor from Sesame Street, as well.

When MeToo really got rolling my friend and I made a list of men that we desperately needed to be not guilty of sexual assault/harassment. As we are from Pittsburgh, Mr. Rogers was one of them. Thankfully I’ve literally never heard a bad word about him. The bubble of hopeful morality also contains Sir David…

Bullshit is deep. How many guys at your job know of assholes who make life difficult for the women around them but just stand by rather than actually do anything proactive? 

I will forever stan Octavia Spencer because not only did she come to the Red Cross shelter where I was staying after the wildfires last year, BUT when I thanked her on Twitter a couple weeks later, she sent me a lovely message asking how I was doing.

omg YES (aka NOOOO). that got terrifying real fast.

I was all in until the need and thread!

I like Octavia Spencer so much I was rooting for Ma in all those scenes.  Seems like a wild ride.

Good on Justin for needing help, asking for it and being open about it. Wouldn’t it be a delightfully surprising turn of events if he ended up being a good role model. 

hi love the kpop coverage :)

This was really astute and perfectly reasonable. It’s always bothered me the way she throws a tantrum and gets off on the fact that she threw said tantrum, and you perfectly explained why. Thank you.
