this shit is so old, but old fuck should be sucking dick and balls instead of policing how people celebrate anyway

Tbf, Homer Hickam is pretty well respected around NASA (he was the main character in October Sky). He also said in an interview later that he didn't have any say over their internship being withdrawn, it was all the retweets with people hastagging NASA that got NASA's people's attention.

and to be fair all be said was "language", he didn't know that the OP would be replying with the receipts that would get them rejected by NASA

This should be the top comment. Great interview and great podcast

Loftus always does good stuff. My fave is her Lolita podcast which breaks down the history of its public perception. The book is a monster attack story, but told from the viewport of the monster. Using flowery language talking to a jury is explaining how it's not that bad, and he eventually rots in prison. The self serving lies are both obvious and numerous .

But some-fucking-how most people think it's a problematic star crossed lovers, romeo and juilet, age is just a number, forbidden romance BS. Multiple movies and stage have distorted the book into the exact thing the author was mocking.

Sorry. Random rant. But goddamn does Jamie do good work.

I haven't read Lolita but I just started reading Pale Fire by Nobokov so it's funny you brought that up. I have heard about Lolita getting adopted by the very creeps it intends to rebuke. I'll have to check out her podcast on it

Old and incorrect. She didn't in the end and this screenshot is ancient ragebait, the only thing worse than current ragebait.

Even better, it was at the behest of homie whom she insulted. The world isn't all doom and gloom. It's close, but not quite there yet.

Imagine the biggest fuckup of your life and it gets reposted in every social media every few weeks. it'll follow her for life.

Imagine her grandson telling her about this funny meme he saw, and it is this again!!

Iirc the guy was chill and they still got their position

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 12 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

She was actually offered it back because the dude she told to suck her dick requested it.

Yoooo didn’t we leave Reddit to get away from stupid bullshit like this

[–] palmtrees2309@lemmy.world 4 points 4 weeks ago

So people just reply back without stalking the person's whole life.
