Actually, I would say it’s very relevant to sexual harassment. Just in the law, there are two kinds of sexual harassment. The first kind is quid pro quo harassment, which is usually very clear, was actually present here from the sound of it, and is usually quite frowned upon by juries.

I imagine it’s what Hollywood producers think liberal audiences want, but is actually for people who thought Lean-In Feminism was a revolutionary brand of . . . well, I’d call it Fourth-Wave Feminism, but people who really bought into Lean-In Feminism don’t generally know enough about feminism in an academic sense to…

Yeah, I think the homages to Gunsmoke or Maverick-era westerns are deliberately designed to familiarize you with a character whose face you can’t see. It’s not novel (only well-executed) precisely because they want the audience to know who the Mandalorian is purely by what he does, and how he either follows or defies…

For the benefit of the inevitable greys:

Yeah, I found Pelaton-husband relevant only because, either intentionally or unintentionally, the director made Pelaton-husband the most aspirational part of the aspirational advertisement.

No, I’m agreeing with you. I’m noting that this would barely go to “2" on a normal man’s Inconvenienced Meter. And yet, it’s more than everyone can handle when used by a woman. Even the most powerful woman in America.

Well, far be it for me to gainsay your Mom or Piper Perabo. But I can’t help but think that part of our problem is that a female Speaker of the House briefly switching to her “May I please speak to your manager” voice constitutes either a “boss” moment, or a “nervous fit” in our public discourse.

Well, it’s not something that you can find in the text of the interview, per se. But that being said, it’s something you pick up extremely quickly in the subtext of the interview. And the more familiar you are with narcissists? The faster you pick it up.

I don’t know that there’s anything for it, especially given the rather obvious workplace-Google-Image restrictions in play.

Yeah, there’s a weird tendency this election season to unreflectively “Alas, Poor Yorick” every candidate that drops out as somehow reflective of some greater miasma within the Democratic base. When mostly, the people who are dropping out? Are just the people who couldn’t command a particular lane to the Presidency,…

Edit: Double post. Sorry.

What you’re saying is that this is purely about catharsis for those of us who do not like Trump, specifically the catharsis of knowing it will rankle Trump that he was impeached by the House.

“Why can’t they just wait until the people have a chance to speak with their ballot?” 

Eh, I don’t think it’s an entire wash. The thing to remember is that there’s a flip side to Trump’s shallow affect and facile image-consciousness: he’s got a shallow affect and is concerned only with facile image-consciousness. And as such, having an asterisk next to his name, which he will have for the rest of his…

Probably for the best, given the kerfluffle of a hearing that happened yesterday.

I suppose that’s possible, though I imagine there’s also some strong assistance with the Force, especially given Baby Yoda’s insanely intuitive knack for force manipulation. To use the old EU terms, Baby Yoda seems to start out with a gift for Alter. It would be reasonable to assume that part of their developmental…

Edit: Double post, again. *sigh*
