Mine is but there's far more money to be made in "physical healing" so she opened a chiro clinic. I only see her for my sciatic issues though, sometimes your butt needs to be worked over.

Criminal Minded posted:I've never been to a chiropractor but it's my understanding that it's basically a coin flip as to whether you receive care from a licensed professional who understands their limits or a snake-oil salesman who wants to try and cure cancer by twisting your bones. Chiropractors are universally frauds. They aren't medical practitioners, there is zero science behind what they do, the entire "profession" are the barely-disguised modern inheritors of a guy who thought that God put magic juice in your nervous system that could be adjusted by manipulating your spine. At best you get someone who will harmlessly crack your spine for you and take money for it. At worse you get someone who will gently caress up your body with physically dangerous bullshit. The only reason they aren't regarded with the same entirely-justified contempt people have for homeopaths or essential oils is because they have a stronger lobby in the US. Back in the 90s there was a court case where chiropractic associations brought an anti-trust(!) suit against the American Medical Association for trying to boycott them out of existence. The judge was a moron and basically ruled that because the AMA hadn't tried gently convincing people that chiropractic isn't medicine first, their outright boycott / ban on doctors referring patients to chiropractors was an unfair business practice. The case was appealed up to the Supreme Court but they repeatedly refused to grant cert. Tuxedo Catfish fucked around with this message at 18:18 on Jun 21, 2019 |

Yepquote:According to the Hollywood Reporter, after allegations surfaced from trans actresses on the hit Amazon show Transparent that the show’s lead, cis male actor Jeffrey Tambor, sexually harassed them during the show’s production, creator Jill Soloway reached out to Tambor and insinuated that he was being targeted because he is not trans.

seeing Jeff Tambor's name reminds me of that abhorrent loving thing that they did with all the Arrested Development cast wherein Jennifer Walters is weeping and taking the blame for his lovely behavior while the rest of the cast sans Alia Shawkat do gently caress-all to support her.

Jessica Walters, not Jennifer Walters. Jennifer Walters is She-Hulk, and She-Hulk would not have put up with that, either as a lawyer and as a super-hero. A review (of a review. Thanks AV Club!) of David Mamet's new Harvey Weinstein-inspired play "Bitter Wheat". The main character is called "Barney Fein". https://news.avclub.com/this-review...tm_content=Main

Avi Lerner is an utter piece of garbage, so him hiring a woman to direct Red Sonya, but hiring a woman who he knows will keep her mouth shut about any sexual misconduct she knows about, makes perfect sense. Personally I hope it and any other movies produced by Millennium Films crashes and burns.

The Marina Sirtis article is odd because she attributes getting therapy to deal with her abuse directly to being involved in Hollywood/LA because "everyone" in LA is in therapy.

could be she had a lovely therapist who normalized trauma and therapy in the wrong way (i dont know if that is true)

I vaguely recall Sirtis also saying (almost in tears IIRC) Star Trek saved her because she’d mostly done pulpy exploitation films up till then. There was one in particular where she had to film a rape scene and the director wouldn’t let her cover up in between takes despite the set being extra cold.

I remember because that came up in Electric Boogaloo and apparently the guy who made that film was kind of an all-around nutcase.

That Murphy interview perhaps wouldn't seem so bullshitty if he didn't work with Landis again. And Jill Soloway talked, in her awful awful book, about protecting her show first and foremost when the Tambor allegations came out. So, that's a choice.

I would love it if someone made a deconstructive steampunk book/movie/game that also dove deep into the problematic attitudes of the time. Those Tesla guns don't look so cool now when they are used to slaughter Africans, huh? Oh you're into that? Ok, NVM.
