Hopefully some other company jumps to get him. He seems pretty bright.

Something tells me Aran is going to do just fine without this internship. Actually, Facebook probably would have just held him back from his true potential.

america likely has thousands (probably tens of thousands) of active rapists at any given time, not dozens. sad but true. especially the acquaintance-/date-rapist types.

The important thing is he’s getting outed while he’s alive. Unlike, say, Jimmy Savile, who died believing he’d gotten away with his crimes, and ultimately eluded any kind of personal culpability. For someone like Cosby, for someone who is a sociopathic narcissist, the worst thing he can experience is seeing his…

It’s really scary what one powerful, well-lawyered rapist can do over the decades. Even scarier that there’s probably more than a dozen just like him we’ve never heard of.

This is rape.

It works for Rachel Dolezal!

Have black people, you know, tried not to be black when approached by police?

Many years ago at the group home for developmentally disabled teens where I worked there was a resident who really, really wanted to go to the best steak house in the city for his 18th birthday. He had behavior and anger issues, but was determined to earn that birthday dinner, and he managed it. So another staff…

As someone who has worked in music royalty accounting for over a decade, it’s true that 9 out of 10 albums/artists are money losers for labels. I certainly understand why artists feel like they are not adequately compensated — most aren’t. Prince’s success has paved/paid the way not only for his protogés, but many…

It’s not a very good (or PC) analogy, but I guess sometimes you need to use loaded language to get people’s attention?

Maybe I’m replying a little hotter than usual because I just put up with some crazy-assed commenting re the Bernie Sanders fiasco in Seattle....

The funny thing about the musicians who tend to blast the recording industry is that most of them were made very, very wealthy by the recording industry. Which kind of undercuts their point. And you’re right about all the work that goes into making music, and which most starting musicians couldn’t do themselves.

Yes! And, especially since there are so few good roles for leading women that are not just the “pretty supporting character”. This move seems to have a very strong cast, mostly women.

Very much baby steps territory but I think they are steps compared to where we were, now if only it looked any good.

Plus big names mean big studio support, mean more screens, mean bigger audiences. I remember Philadelphia being fucking huge. I can’t help but think a really good, really big movie is probably on balance a good thing.

I suppose it’s progress that the LGBTQ community is finally getting mainstream movies that are just as generic, maudlin and hokey as the movies they make for everyone else. Personally, I prefer my queer movies a bit more, well, queer. But I guess this and Stonewall could be considered eye-opening and educational for…

I know there are problems with this but I still think it’s pretty cool this film is being made at all considering how things were only a few years ago. Yes, it would be great if they had hired a trans actor but I don’t know that they deserve to be torn apart if they make a great, sensitive film (which they might/might…

Is this space not created to foster discussion? Can we not question or be curious? That’s how, as you put it, “I think this site works”...it creates a platform for discussion and debate, based on the content. Maybe you are right, and I am wrong in assuming that’s what the comments section is for?

Thank you..
