Later, the GOP tweeted out a sketch of Ted Cruz when he was a hottie.

Cool factoid: Last night’s episode featured the first trans Pit Crew member! And he is BUILT! His name is Laith Ashley and there are some very lovely pics of him here: https://hornet.com/stories/laith-ashley-transgender-pit-crew/ 

Jake & Amy are such relationship goals, which I guess makes me a Boyle.

*gasp* the name of OUR sex tape!

Yaaaassss! Last night I was thinking about how Hulu had picked up Mindy. I felt that Mindy had changed too much and although I adore her and the show, those last few seasons just weren’t the same. I’m afraid of B99 changing too much if they do pick it up, but I believe in Andy Samberg. I have high hopes.

Using antiquated measurements designed in the middle of the 20th century... yes. The rest of us have moved on from that.

“Saved by Hulu,” the name of your sex tape.

I remember finding a bunch of Roman coins on a nearby farm when I was a kid (I grew up in England). They were from around 81 AD and some were in really good condition, so I thought I’d hit the jackpot. The Romans left so many coins lying around that they turned out to be “unremarkable” and worth around GBP20.

There’s also a huge imbalance in the power of sex-worker advocates versus sex-work opponents because federal rules require grant recipients not to promote prostitution. Of course, keeping prostitutes from dying leads to more prostitution, so only the weird Nick-Kristoff-style ‘rescue’ outfits get the cash.

Whole lot of nope. Survivors of trafficking don’t want this. It’s a horrible bill that only people who either hate sex workers or don’t understand how trafficking works would support. https://survivorsagainstsesta.org/

This is at the absolute bottom of the list of repercussions, but: erotica authors have also taken a hit due to these rules. Amazon, one of the leading self-publishing sites literotica authors use to publish and earn money, has severely cracked down on the erotic ebook section. Things like censored lists, top sales…

Not ‘ like’ they hate women. This porn is made BECAUSE they know their audience hates women.

Porn is fine. Rough porn- with clear, pre-established limits- is fine.

I don’t understand why there can’t be independent advocates for porn actors on the site of each shoot. We have a message at the end of every movie which features an animal, no matter how insignificant the animal or the length of time on film, which certifies no animals were harmed in the making of the film (which is…

Yep. Rape insurance is a thing, isn’t it, in modern-day Republic of Gilead? I wonder if it wouldn’t be more judicious, in the present women-hating environment, not to just to loop in your medical insurance provider and ask them to recoup your deductible for you. Then a civil trial for penalties and a criminal trial…

Completely agreed. On the same tack: I believe black Americans 100% deserve reparations from the government and I would be happy for a portion of my tax dollars to go towards that.

Not to mention that it’s often the victim’s ONLY chance to get any kind of justice. The courts won’t help them. They would probably rather see their attacker jailed and put on a sex offender list for life; but if that’s not going to happen, costing them some money is better than nothing.

1) Who would be cast as MTM? Let’s speculate!

I bet Vital Information with Lori Beth Denberg would hold up today.

YES!
