Because books.

So Louis CK's apology says no less than five times how much these women admired him: [link]

Um. I give him credit for admitting that the stories are true, but dude, hold your ego in check for a minute.

Yeah, he doesn't quite get the power dynamic, but his statement gets more credit than all the "I don't remember it that way" or "it was a different time" statements we've been getting. I do like his last paragraph.

The thing is, though, masturbating in front of someone? Totally a power thing. You're not inviting them to participate, you're not giving them pleasure, you're not *sharing* in a sexual activity. You're forcing someone whose career you could make or break watch while you wave your dick around, and the thrill of that power has got to be part of the appeal of doing it in the first place.

Oh totally. It's still only partial credit, only positive at all relative to the usual non-apologies.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I can't figure out what to say on AAM, so I'm just going to boggle here. In discussions about the total inappropriateness of going to The Book of Mormon as a work outing, someone said that they weren't familiar with the musical, but based on the comments, it sounded a lot like Leonard Bernstein's Mass.

Which...sort of? If you turn your head? Except also really really not at all?

That was a very lovely day with Walter, -t. Thank you for sharing it.

Um, written by the guys from South Park? And unfortunately the Book of Mormon isn't as poetic as the Bible, in any case.
