This is a generational issue fueled by social media and technologies. If my parents (Greatest Generation) had flaked on a social invitation or failed to RSVP, it would have meant social death. You’d stop getting invited to anything, period-and get a very bad reputation to boot. I’m a boomer, and although party invites…

One of the reasons given for producers minimize black actors’ roles is the “Asian market,” or the excuse that China doesn’t turn out to see black actors or stories. So they get a chance to produce with an Asian cast and it’s suddenly “Oh noze, too many nonwhite people!”

I just re-watch”My Dinner With Andre” the other night. It got me to wondering: is there any comparable movie of just two women having an intellectual conversation? The closest one I could think of was Eric Rohmer’s “Four Adventures of Reinette and Mirabelle.”

She’s my height, which is 5'7" I suspect her issue is that she thinks she’s adorable.

Yeah, remember how Sean Young was mocked and ostracized for being “crazy?” She was kicked off the set of Wall Street for not allowing pigs Charlie Sheen and Oliver Stone to abuse her. Later, she said she was blacklisted for resisting the advances of a Hollywood mogul, who I presume was Weinstein. James Woods, also a…

White people

Stinky feet still smell, even in socks. Once I was seated on a cross-country flight next to the window and a strange reek suddenly assaulted me. I looked behind me through the crack next to the wall, and there was a big stanky socked foot jammed in there.

I have a co-worker who kicks off her shoes (thank god she keeps socks on) and sits cross legged during meetings. She’s 40 years old. I had the misfortune of running in to her at a mutual friend’s house, where she was curled up, kitten-like on the host’s couch. Put your fucking feet on the floor.

Yes, I always do this. I also wipe down the head and arm rests. Pretty sure those don’t get washed very often, either.

CRICKET FIELDS

Well, we knew the DNC sucked. Now we know why.

I loathe Daily Mail, so won’t link to the “exclusive” story—but Kevin Spacey’s older brother says that their father was a Nazi who raped him (the older brother) repeatedly. Their mother (who Kevin Spacey vaunts as some saint) knew about the sexual abuse, and did nothing. If that story is true, the apple didn’t fall…

There were date-rape rumors about him a few years ago

Word out there is that he has harassed male crew members, so the expressions of shock by the production team are very disingenuous.

There’s a whole diseased branch of “pro-woman” sentiment that is actually thinly disguised boner-feelings. This artwork is like: we need to protect hot chicks from violence by admiring the bangin’ body of a giant hot chick. Allegories Gone Wild, as it were.

I used to work in an advertising studio and did story boards and some finished art for products like this. This could have happened at the level of the artist/art director but usually it gets extreme scrutiny (really—I’ve been asked to change eyelash length on tiny anthropomorphic piece of candy) and people at that…

I’m guessing it’s more along the lines of “I was treated rudely by an African American DMV employee. That’s RACIST!!”

A leftist white supremacist? I’m trying to figure out how that works. Like, she’s vegan and has a rainbow nazi flag?

I once knew a gay man who claimed the difference between a straight boy and a gay boy was 10 beers. Hahahaha. Does this clear anything up?

“wants to have sex with me” is the key phrase. How do you know she wants to have sex with you? Is it possible she just wants to make out and stop there? Maybe she’s up for some naked play, but doesn’t want to do intercourse. If you assume that certain sex acts are OK without talking about it, you may be assuming too…
