Aww, poor Cinderblock! I’m pretty sure she’s saying I hate this!

Hello my fellow jezzies! Monday morning I have preadmission testing for my surgery Friday.  I have a severe bladder prolapse after the transvaginal mesh used in my hysterectomy 20 years ago deteriorated.  It’s a gnarly surgery involving attaching the vaginal canal to my spine among other things.  I’m a 48 year old…

I mean, not to bend over backwards to praise a man for doing The Basic Right Thing but this is a literal example of a man who used all types of his privilege (white, male, wealthy, fame, name recognition, relative power within powerful media institutions) as a lever to bring a harmful and deeply entrenched…

When Pod Save America and Lovett or Leave It came out, I did not bother listening, because, honestly, WTF do I care what an SNL guy and Jon Favreau think about anything political.  Then I listened and they didn’t sound quite right.  It took a full episode for me to realize they were totally different people.  I am…

Why do you feel that other people should struggle because you struggled?

This is pretty much everyone’s reaction on first hearing who Ronan’s partner is. Lovett makes much more sense.

The best text I’ve ever received in my life I got when my mom was reading this book and texted me “why is Hot Ronan with the guy from SNL?” a text I had to parse carefully.

I knew I should have scrolled down further, I just mentioned All The President’s Men myself.  Absolutely the sort of book I thought everyone was expecting when this was announced and Farrow started doing interviews.

Except this book is about all the people who were paid to line up and protect HW & Matt Lauer & Donald Trump & Bill Clinton - and while it covers the tremendous abuse these women faced, it is about the lengths that people (men & WOMEN!) went to to protect the abusers....I still don’t understand the push back.

Yeah, even more closely it’s like getting mad at Spotlight for not telling the victims stories from their perspective (as I said in my comment).

Yeah, it seems weird to treat his relationship to Dylan as nearly an aside.

It’s like being mad at All the President’s Men for focusing on Woodward and Bernstein instead of doing a deep dive on the Nixon presidency.

It was about the process of getting the story published and the institutional bullshit that protected people like Lauer and Weinstein. I don’t think it minimizes anything about the victims, it’s just about a different-ish topic? It’s like being mad at All the President’s Men for focusing on Woodward and Bernstein…

Number one rule of book reviewing: Review the book in front of you, not the book you fantasize about reading.

This article is ridiculous. Farrow rails against powerful evil men hiding truth to service other powerful evil men and it doesn’t matter? If powerful evil men were not allowed to suppress news and the women who make claims against them, would life not in fact be better for women and other victims?

Pick up a copy of All The President's Men next time you're in a bookstore.

I have not read this book. But it sounds from the review that this is just not the book on the matter that Megan wanted to read. I’m sure, however, it’s exactly the book that Farrow set out to write.

The book is about NBC killing the story and Farrow trying to get it published.

If my college suddenly “found” millions in government funding I can promise you tuition reduction would be the last place they’d put it.

Debt forgiveness is a start, but doing so won’t help the issue of tuition inflation, which is one of the root causes of massive student loan debt burdens.
