Now, Page Six is reporting that NBC brass actually signed off on the attack, but that people are still “stunned” that Kelly went as far as she did.

I’ve heard onions and garlic become bitter if cooked too long. Maybe that’s the problem?

Ha! Even with just the public view of his page, I can see the many three-named superfans. I’m sure every one of them has a Master’s degree in something mildly ridiculous. (disclosure: so do I)

A female fan (a minister) also had an unpleasant experience.

I had a coworker like that, and it was pretty much due to him eating three hotdogs a day.

Just Google “funeral selfies” Dear God.

Completely unsurprising, given Greer’s history of petty misogyny and transphobia.

Good point. His words are attributed to him, but that is all. I’m an atheist, but I was raised on the Bible and get reflexively annoyed when people selectively quote passages to “prove” that Christianity was inherently pro-slavery. No, WHITE people were pro-slavery and used carefully selected scripture, bullshit…

Most translations of Luke use “servant,” so I find this quote highly misleading. In any event, Jesus was using a servant/master metaphor for the relationship of an individual to God. Chattel slavery like that of the trans-Atlantic slave trade did not exist in the Roman empire. Roman slaves could obtain citizenship,…

The Book of Peter is attributed to Peter the Apostle, not Jesus. Leviticus was WAY pre-Jesus, and condemned male homosexuality and eating shellfish, along with OKing enslavement of non-Hebrews. The Bible would truly be a “good book” if everything but the teachings of Jesus was tossed.

This is giving me flashbacks of my own “deflowering,” by a stranger I had just met that night. Much of the coercion was by another girl who was with me, who was paring up with his buddy. I “had” to give it up. This was understood as a fact. And so I did, without pleasure and quite a lot of pain. He was pissed about…

I’m not sure what gender you are, so pardon me if this sounds like woman-splaining. Many men bizarrely believe that women are as physically powerful as a similarly-sized man. My husband and I are the same height, and I have 10 lbs. on him. He looks like a skinny little guy. When we work out together, he can bench…

This is like slash fiction, only more poorly written.

“look what a good boy/girl am I” preening

He should grow a hot-daddy beard.

I deplore the way Babe exploited this young woman’s experience for click-bait, but also think the conversations it sparked have been thought-provoking. It initially bothered me that Ansari had been named, since although he’s obviously a boor, he didn’t seem dangerous or prone to exploiting subordinates. However, on…

Yeah, those “prank” packages are just the beginning—or more likely the middle—of an escalation.

I’m old (late 50's) enough to remember consuming all of my current reading/media in magazines, newspapers and television. I didn’t resent ads in print; some of them were even clever and entertaining. TV ads were slightly more annoying, but still I understood it was part of the deal. The intrusive, auto-on video,…

Yeah, he twisted the little guy’s leg and told him he’d break it next time.

“while at Mr. Allen’s apartment, she saw him ad Soon-Yi having sex. Her reporting was childlike but graphic. She also told the police that Mr. Allen had pushed her face into a plate of hot spaghetti and had threatened to do it again.”
