Sherrod Brown is our local badass. He’s the real deal.

If you check his voting record, i think you’d be pleasantly surprised.

Well that is good news for future Mrs. Butler, who is likely still gestating in a womb somewhere

Somebody get this man an invite to the cookout. Nothing like hearing a decent adult and established-politician in his own right call out corruption amongst his own. That way no one can accuse him of playing the race card—though they will.

I totally agree. Folks who are screaming that education is not the problem are not aware of the depths of some folks’ ignorance, and, I think, are throwing out the good in pursuit of the perfect. Even 1/4 fewer women (or men) assaulted because everybody got comprehensive sex education with CONSENT learning…

New investigative report? The LAT could have just cut and pasted the articles from Gawker and Spy that detailed Toback’s sexual predation years — decades — ago. Toback wasn’t just an open secret, there were numerous accusations that were documented and reported.

Ugh. That’s so awful. Reading Jezebel has been a real education for me in these areas. I went to an all-girls school, and the idea that I would semi-consent to sex with a man, or refrain from fighting someone who was trying to take advantage of me, simply because I was concerned that the man might be angry or upset…

You know what? I’ve never seen it. I did see a lot of John Hughes / Brat Pack shit in the 80s. I mean, Weird Science? Mannequin? Eeesh.

Remember when the handsome, debonair, still-glamorized-to-this-day leading man Rhett Butler carried his wife off to rape her in “Gone with the Wind?”

Yes! And also the power of peer pressure when a social group has no tolerance for sexual assault. I think that hat makes se a husband I’ve difference in the lives of the writer and her assailant after the fact.

I was even into old dudes as a teen, and for sure NOT John Malkovich or Larry David types. It’s not just old dudes, it’s decrepit, kinda fug, self satisfied old dudes. Also, I was stupid.

Seriously, by all appearances, this movie is peak Male Gaze. Like, HOLY CRAP SO MANY LAYERS OF MALE GAZE. I think he thinks he invented the angel/whore complex? I could probably go my whole life without hearing the musings of even one more ~overprotective dad~ and be just fine, thank you.

I’m of the view there’s no appropriate time to release a film like this and maybe we can stop making films that pedal the fantasy that any teenage girl would be interested in gross older guys altogether. The fantasy is entirely ONE-SIDED.

He just couldn’t go with Pootie Tang II: Electric Pootieloo, could he? Noooo....he had to make some Art™.

Wow. I was under the impression that C.K. was popular here, and the sexual allegations blew right past me. But really, none of that matters because this is likely going to give a LOT of men (older) FEELS and probably “permission” too.

This whole thing screams of Louis CK trying to control the narrative w/r/t his own sexual assault allegations. Very very gross.

It can be against the law to give away food.
I tried all the time when working in restaurants, couldn’t do it.

I think this is horrible to waste that food, and I do understand the plight of food insecurity and deserts in Chicago. I do also walk from the Kedzie Pink line 1 block from this up Kedzie to Little Village for work. Cermak is 3 blocks away(~2-4 min walk) and is filled with Mexican neighborhood grocery stores.…

Hey All, Samantha Bee has some choice words:

I’m starting to wonder how many “post-oscar curse” actresses really just rejected Harvey Weinstein.
