... I’m so jealous of you right now you don’t even know.

He is absolutely, 100% my second-favourite video game mentor, hands down.

I can be one of those “oblivious smart people.” After meetings, people will say, “Oh, did you notice X, Y, Z? He/she was being a real asshole.” And I’m like, “Uh, what? I was thinking about this other thing the whole time.”

To my knowledge, I’ve never attended a sex party, but, then again, maybe I just didn’t notice.

One of my daughters went on a field trip to a former plantation in Virginia. She told me the docent told the class that XYZ (I can’t remember his name) was a “good slave owner because he provided his slaves with food, clothing, and shelter.”

My mom told me a long time ago that the way she would apologize without admitting fault was to say, “It was not my intention to...”

My mom is that person, and not just because she’s An Old. It’s particularly pronounced in race/class contexts, like in the 90s when she wanted one of those air-freshener things for your car that was shaped like a crown and literally only allowed if you were a middle-aged African-American man from Detroit. She was a

Upper Volta? Tanganyika? Belgian Congo?

The studio, their agents, and Ridley Scott fucked this thing up so bad.

Same.

I saw a few people going “She needs to fire her agent!” She and Mark Wahlberg have the same agent...

No, they’ll just keep talking about the actions of President Hillary Clinton.

The amount of dense people I’ve seen accross different comment sections today, spouting that this isn’t sexism, just a matter of Michelle Williams not knowing how to negotiate her contract, is infuriating.

I am sincerely hoping Michelle Williams finds herself another agent. Clearly the one she has is really bad at their job.

You seem awfully preoccupied with the bigot’s base. Thing is – some of us don’t care what they think, in great part because they don’t care what WE think, or how we live, or IF we live. So – not to put too fine a point on it – the hell with them.

I don’t think it’s completely on his shoulders, but there’s no fucking way these negotiations happened without Michelle Williams’ agent knowing - they are both with the same agency. It’s bullshit that the agency, agents, producers, etc. would let this happen. I think where it falls is that Wahlberg (+agent/manager)

“But he never said the n-word, so it can’t be racist.” Is what they’ll probably say.

Best tweet I saw read:

Huckahump cancelled tomorrow’s presser. This may be too much even for her to come up with bullshit for.

I hope this triggers his victims to speak up. Because I have no doubt that he has a long list of sexual harassment/assault victims as well as race based harassment/assault victims. This is the douche who created Entourage and didn’t mind telling you that it was based on his life because he could see no problem with

All that money, and he’s still trying to rob people.
