Well Lena Dunham is going to be back in the news for a while now.

Maybe they have some legit insight on this case (they cite some vague "insider knowledge"), but what they wrote smacks of "But he can't be a rapist, he's our friend!" which is a pretty supremely lovely stance to take.

Say what you will about Sandler, and there’s a lot to say, but he seems good about taking care of his friends. And at this point he’s probably got enough money that he doesn’t give much of a poo poo.

I think it's... I can't say admirable, but at least he's owning up to his bad behavior. There's some vaguely defensive stuff about his upbringing, but mostly he's laying out the bad poo poo he did.

It’s not hard to read it as him just pre-emptively trying to exonerate himself, though. It’s hosed up; do we accept the mea culpa and believe that he honestly wants to change? It would be nice if it’s true. But it’s real easy to be cynical about it.

Don't be obtuse, you know what I meant. And for a small corner diner that's open for literally twelve hours a day, losing an entire day's worth of receipts (plus the costs of the food that has to be prepped to be shown on-camera and for "customers" to be eating) kind of stings.

It’s a long term investment, and a sound one from what you’ve said. You pretty thoroughly undercut your point before you even tried to make it.

What does it mean to be Single White Female'd by somebody, I still don't understand

Single White Female is a movie in which Bridget Fonda advertises for a new roommate (the eponymous single white female), an ad which Jennifer Jason Leigh answers. Then Jennifer Jason Lee slowly begins to emulate Fonda in an attempt to subvert her and take over her life. The phrase “single white female” became a kind of cultural shorthand for a person mimicking someone else, usually with ominous, obsessive overtones.

I don’t think anyone actually thinks Faraci is literally stalking his accuser. But he’s obviously trying to spin his “rehabilitation” to enhance his brand, and it’s creepy and sad that his method of choice is something taught by his accuser.

I wouldn't necessarily call a wild animal that's beaten into submission, trapped for hours/days/weeks on end in a small sphere and only let out to beat the poo poo out of other animals, a "willing participant"

Within the context of the show, though, Pokemon are portrayed as fully sentient beings that consent to the arrangement. Even with the bad guys, Meowth, Koffing, and Ekans, they're fully on board with Jesse and James' plans.

I never have wanted to dive into that one but is it clear at this point they both sucked? Like not saying he’s not worse or whatever but wasn’t it confirmed she was abusive too? Or did I read a few bad takes on Twitter and get it jumbled up?

I don’t know what kind of people they are, and I always feel like anyone judging people (celebrities or otherwise) based on their acrimonious divorce proceedings is kind of poor form. No one is going to look good in a snapshot from one of the worst times in their life, especially when much of what you’re hearing is coming from their aggrieved soon-to-be ex.
