He wasn’t their boss. In one case the victims were co-performers with him at a festival. Another instance involved a woman calling him to invite him to one of her shows, and he seemed to be masturbating on the phone. In a third, he was a guest star on a television pilot and she was a producer. The only case that comes…

Not really? I don’t know Schultz’s actual orientation and alignment and neither matter in the scheme of things, but her story does go to show that the patterns of abuse directed at and against women are not (a) unique to men or (b) primarily about sexual fulfillment. They’re about wielding power, letting off steam at…

I guess I don’t get how you can play the “we’re doing real journalism” card when the NY Times busted the story wide-open with 5 sources in what, a few weeks since the Weinstein stuff broke? And you’ve supposedly had it for years?

I’m commenting on my own comment because I had more to say. Watch that clip. Has the root of the message being delivered by Kimmel changed? I STILL see headlines like this on jezebel. It really bothers me that this website would get sanctimonious toward their readers when they post some of the headlines that they do.…

Maybe this very old clip will help you understand where some of the skepticism of your ethical standards originated. Jezebel (and Gawker) had legitimate journalism issues. And you know what? So does the NYTimes, WSJ, etc. You are held to higher standards and when you fail, you NEED to be called out on it. A lot of…

I enjoy that the response from the Jezebel writers on being called out is to just correct you on which news outlet broke the story <eyeroll>

To all the people saying it was the Times, I think the original commenter may be thinking of the Roy Moore story that broke today too. In either case, the Post and the Times went and found people willing to go on the record. They did not send out an open request, or a plea, or whatever you want to call it, and that’s…

“ She reached out to a Gawker reporter who’d previously gotten tips about it and learned the names of the two women who’d claimed that they’d experienced CK masturbate in front of them at the Aspen Comedy Festival around 2008.”

Here’s the simple fact: The Washington Post did journalism the right way, and Jezebel did not.

That painting is 100% a vintage Sweet Valley High cover. One of the ones with a lot of Bruce Patman in it.

Not that I believe him, but isn’t this the same line of thinking people who don’t believe victims of rape use to justify victim shaming. Is “This is not how someone reacts to something horrifying happening to them” really any different than “this is not how someone reacts to a horrifying accusation against them”?…

The idea that there is a correct way to deny being a rapist (if you actually didn’t do it) is laughable. It’s as stupid as saying there is a correct way for a victim to act. If he is innocent, then he is the victim. I have no idea who is at fault, but I find this to be a perfectly acceptable denial if he is telling…

Yeah, I’d say the secrecy still works because *Loki* doesn’t know what’s coming. His reaction to seeing the Hulk was priceless and then Thor getting “Puny godded” just...perfect. I loved it.

This is exactly how the people who’ve greenlit the last 6 years’ worth of DC movies think.

POSSIBLE SPOILERS

Great jokes are never a waste of screentime.

COUNTERPOINT: That wasn’t even the best joke in that scene (let alone the movie), so who cares if they used it as the hook to put butts in seats?

Please read the details of history. Sanders signed on to bill because of the provisions it made to protect battered spouses. He then went to the House floor to denounce all the terrible parts of the bill, including privatizing the prisons to profit off the incarcerated (which exploded the prison population). If you…

Having worked for the DNC and three state parties, doing everything from managing party budget to oppo, I can say that thread is the most laughable attempt at campaign finance research I’ve ever read. That is a third grade level understanding of campaign committees.

The DNC DIDN’T work for down ballet candidates though. Just ask George Clooney, who raised all that money that was supposed to help Clinton AND down ballet candidates but, instead, was all directed to Clinton.
