The uruk-hai defender has logged on.
The Moviebob stuff reminds me of when Moby wrote about his relationship with Natalie Portman in his memoir last year, and Portman called him out.

quote:

In the book, the musician, now 53, claims the pair dated when he was 33 and Portman was 20, after she met him backstage in Austin, Texas. He recounts going to parties in New York with her, and to see her at Harvard University, “kissing under the centuries-old oak trees. At midnight she brought me to her dorm room and we lay down next to each other on her small bed. After she fell asleep I carefully extracted myself from her arms and took a taxi back to my hotel.” He says that he then struggled with anxiety about their relationship: “It wanted one thing: for me to be alone … nothing triggered my panic attacks more than getting close to a woman I cared about.” Later, he writes: “For a few weeks I had tried to be Natalie’s boyfriend, but it hadn’t worked out,” writing that she called to tell him she had met someone else.
Portman disputes Moby’s account. “I was surprised to hear that he characterised the very short time that I knew him as dating because my recollection is a much older man being creepy with me when I just had graduated high school,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. “He said I was 20; I definitely wasn’t. I was a teenager. I had just turned 18. There was no fact-checking from him or his publisher – it almost feels deliberate.”
...
Moby has responded to her comments, posting a picture of them together on Instagram, and saying that her account “confused me, as we did, in fact, date. And after briefly dating in 1999 we remained friends for years. I like Natalie, and I respect her intelligence and activism. But, to be honest, I can’t figure out why she would actively misrepresent the truth about our (albeit brief) involvement.”

Between that and Jonathan Safran Foer ending his marriage because she was nice to him over email, it's weird to be Natalie Portman.

Ahh well maybe he will learn a lesson? At least he didn't try the "that's not who I am" bullshit every other non-apology has.

Nah. He's spent years doing things from arguing in support of something vaguely close to eugenics (in the "We shouldn't allow white Republicans to breed" kind of way) to asking if it's been enough years since 1939 for Germany to invade Poland and get rid of Duda. He was recently in the thread for defending Jeff Bezos while saying he's not actually defending him by insisting that he's just callous about his workers and not evil.





He's one of those leftists who's ostensibly on the right side but extremely dumb and creepy. He'll always "move on" from past offenses just so he can find new ones to make.

He was having a normal one and tweeting about being sent to the Trump gulags after the coup for being a disloyal republican. It was absolutely in bad taste but not quite the anti-Semitism some people are trying to make it out to be.

If your family is worth $134M and your savings as an adult is $32K, then you are not very close to the financial centre of gravity of your family’s enterprises. (Nobody whose immediate family is worth that much would say “$134M” either; that level of precision is for smaller holdings and celebrity-tracking sites.)

I suppose he could just mean that he has $32k in his Savings account, like that's just his liquid assets. But that still seems pretty weird to me.

the japanese term "netorare" can apply to any form of romantic relationship and sex outside of it, not just marriage and having children specifically, it is a far more flexible term thusly

isn't that the "NTR" that's apparently a huge "issue" in, well, harem games

because apparently it's a big problem if any waifu targets hook up with someone other than the player's character because How Dare They, i guess

that would only apply if they were already dating you but then hooked up with someone else, because it requires there to be a romantic relationship for there to be sex outside of.

The first half a loving sentence had me nodding along and going "oh, I must be in the good tweets thread" and then it took a hard loving turn. I was all prepared for a thoughtful analysis of how toxic masculinity drives anti-maskers because our lovely capitalist society has deprived their lives and work of any meaning. Instead we got that puke.

Like, the rest of the sentence should have been:
