Allison Janney would like a word with Lucinda Janney.

The Shape of Water got a lot of nominations, but considering what it is I doubt it will win any outside the technical categories.

When I left the east coast for good, a lot of the shitty unnecessary snark left me too. Sometimes people are just nice and do good things for other people.

I swear to God I thought this was an Onion piece because of the headline. Seriously, good work to everyone involved.

What does he think about scaffolding though?

Joe Harris looks and sounds like someone NBA 2K gives you when you first open create-a-player

I am glad to see the cross-collaboration between the The Onion and Deadspin includes the headline writers.

Yes, the floodgate has opened and the stories are coming out. We haven’t heard as many of them in the video game industry yet, but they’re coming. Kotaku is actively working on several investigations right now that will hopefully lead to more harassment getting exposed. (And of course, if anyone reading this has any…

HR is there to protect the company. NOT the employees. Everything HR does is to protect the company. From trying to keep things quiet, to dealing with things swiftly (regardless of the outcome,) you name it, HR is trying to prevent lawsuits and actions against the company. Employees that cause trouble, especially in…

a common thread in these recent stories seems to be how poorly HR departments handle claims and really only serve the company’s best interests rather than its employees. Hopefully these shitty incidents will spark some change.

There were a decade’s worth of rumours that you chose to ignore. Outlets that reported on those rumours did not get to the bottom of the matter. The NYT did, and even then, one of the women does not want to be named. I guess that means you don’t believe her, but believe the other four? If you think Katie’s reporting…

Yes it’s definitely just a total coincidence that Louis CK has been accused of the exact thing the rumors said he was doing!!!!

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.”

Yes, she attempted to expose a predator who has now been exposed. How dare she?

“So we’re supposed to believe everything anybody says, idiot?”

Well, you blinded believed Louis when he denied it, so I guess it’s not “anybody”... 

“THESE ALLEGATIONS WERE NOT MADE IN THE PRESENCE OF A NOTARY PUBLIC AND HAVE A SLIVER OF LEEWAY FOR ME TO IGNORE AND SO IGNORE I WILL.”

Agreed. I was wrong as well. I didn’t believe the rumors/allegations because I didn’t see actual accusers. But I was wrong and he deserves whatever he has coming to him for this scummy behavior.

Amazing to watch the people who tried to quash concerns about a sexual predator act like they have the moral high ground.

No, it’s like seeing a pool of blood five feet away from a severed hand and insisting that everyone shrug it off.
