Eva Cassidy’s cover of “Autumn Leaves”
I'm having deja vu re: this song.
Pundit, the Goldendoodle my mother had given Jonathan, curled up next to Canosa as she continued the story.

“Would you get in the shower with me?” he asked.
Ew. NO.
Weinstein announced, from the bathroom, that he was going to masturbate anyway, and started doing so through the open door as she averted her gaze.
Now I'm really gonna barf. The bloody nerve!!
She reeled at the implications of him arming himself for sex ahead of their meetings.
Just, holy wow. I cannot.

“The number of times I’ve seen people have their lives threatened, or their wives threatened, or their reputation threatened,”
“Hey, Harvey, it’s George. I just want to let you know, Ronan Farrow’s still working on the story.”
W...T...F...
After his conversation with Lack, he’d continued to reach out to NBC executives, and had confidently reported back to people around him that the story was dead.
Because he' totally the one killing it @ NBC. 😠
But it wasn’t long before he called Boies back, sounding less certain.
I get a great deal of satisfaction from Harvey Weinstein being spooked.
Griffin urged the women to come with him to see a peep show.
So much nope 👎
they’d all come up in the business with this kind of behavior from men.
I remember it well. It's so pervasive.
making lewd or crass remarks in work emails.
Just NO. Like a woman woukd NEVER.
vagina
vulva 🤷
Griffin waved around a printed page bearing a zoomed-in image, smirking. “Would you look at that?” he said,
Oh wtf??
and exhaled hard. “Not bad, not bad.”
What does that mean??
the anti-vaxxer movement in the United States was producing adherents and measles outbreaks.
🤦 chucklefucks
“It’s not ethical?” I offered,
Yissss, RO.NAN
“There are literally kids dying over this issue.
EXACTLY. It absolutely is NOT some "puff piece."
Griffin blew past the question.
Oh I'll bet be did, lying liar. Why would SHE want get original words twisted?? Makes zero sense.
I’ll be happy to put your salary numbers out in the press.”
So they make more at NBC? Woooow.
Tom Brokaw, who said I under no circumstances could air sound bites with deceptive edits, and gave me the same warning about fucking my credibility
YUP

This is so unethical!!
above my pay grade,”

“We’ve been watching,” she said again. “From the beginning. Your show. My daughter is a big fan.”
Mmmmm...did this really happen? Seems like an awfully convenient "plot device"... 🤔
“I know what it’s like to have people stop fighting for you,” she said quietly.
💔 😟
how serious is this stuff, really?”
As cancer, you fucker. He's regularly raping women wuth impunity!
He would pose as an earnest attendee at gatherings of feminist groups, then turn out fiery columns in the Crimson about how these groups were full of shit.
Oh so a real stand-up guy.
“Reading ‘Clit Notes’” and “Transgender Absurd,”
This guy is getting more WTF by the second.
Apparently, it is easy to blame the patriarchy for all of your woes, and to silence your opponents with accusations of misogyny,
They're not simply "accusations." YOU are a part of the problem, douche.
“Why are women’s meetings any more deserving of protected space than anyone else’s?”
Oh I dunno, maybe because of the misogyny & vitriol card-carring members of the patriarchy such as yourself regularly spew, SIR.
let our baser instincts have free reign,
Oh no.
women enjoy being confined, pumped full of alcohol and preyed upon. They feel desired, not demeaned.”
I'M sorry, what in the actual fuck is this?? They allowed this tp get published??
And AND, how the fuck does HE know?? He's not a woman!
Years had passed and Noah Oppenheim had matured.
No. Clearly, he has not.
“Harvey says?”
Right???

One that every journalist with an iota of ethics should in fact care about!
“This isn’t about you,”
