Paul Sorvino Has Words For Harvey Weinstein
I always wondered why Mira Sorvino didn’t work more as an actress after winning the Oscar for “Mighty Aphrodite“. Allegedly it is because Harvey Weinstein did everything in his considerable power to keep her off the silver screen.

I've been waiting for this….Paul Sorvino on Harvey Weinstein harassing and blacklisting his daughter Mira Sorvino….

Would you want Paul Sorvino pissed off at you? I wouldn’t. And yes, I know this is a scene from a movie.
One thing that has made me nuts with regard to the current wave of deserved firings and comeuppances of powerful men is the response some guys have made — “if it was my daughter/sister” etc. Actually… no. Whether or not you are related to a woman does not matter. No one deserves to be treated this way. Hell, if it’s true that Harvey Weinstein kept Mira Sorvino from being cast in movies because she wouldn’t sleep with him… jesus.
HOWEVER. If the woman wronged *is* your daughter, I think it’s fair to expect, shall we say, an extra level of outrage. Look at it like this — “imagine if it was your daughter”? No. It’s bad no matter what. But when it actually is your daughter? I don’t blame you for getting more mad. On the TMZ video, Mr. Sorvino is rather calm in my opinion.
Also, make sure to read through to part 5 of the tweet quoted above, which features video of Ms. Sorvino at a 2011 Senate briefing about sex trafficking. I will attempt to embed said Tweet here but as I admitted online I can thread a needle but tweets, not so much.
5. By the way, you should know that @MiraSorvino has been fighting sex trafficking, especially the trafficking of minors, for years…long before she spoke publicly about Harvey Weinstein. Here she is in 2011 at a US Senate briefing. pic.twitter.com/R7jwyLcLRL

Holy Crap James Harrison Is Strong (Video)
In case you didn’t know, NFL players are not like the rest of us. (Unless you happen to be an NFL player, of course.) Most of them are bigger, stronger, and faster. Also stronger. Have I mentioned stronger? Here’s a video of Pittsburgh Steelers‘ linebacker James Harrison throwing his children into the pool.
I mean… wow. One commenter summed it up thusly:
alexweatherly @teeeeeker he throws a kid higher than I can throw a balloon
Yeah. That’s about all you need to say.
You can check out Mr. Harrison’s Instagram page for more things you probably can’t do, many of them involving epic Feats of Strength.

This is Live. No. Really. Sort of. (DaddyTube)
This video, of Hatsune Miku, a Japanese Vocaloid star (?), blew my mind. You have to watch long enough to really get the effect I got. I don’t want to spoil it but I will tell you that this is a live concert. Watch a bit of it. Hell, watch the whole thing, it’s under 3 minutes.
Did you see what I saw? Actual real-live musicians playing along with a hologram? In front of an audience of actual humans?
Wow. Just… wow.
On the one hand, it’s End Times stuff. But the technology behind it is fascinating. There is a Vocaloid Keytar! (Warning: the video is very strange and includes a person in a dinosaur suit, dancing.) It goes deep.
I haven’t found anything that indicates there are any English versions. However, listening to a couple of songs (literally a couple, I only checked out two, both by Hatsune Miku, who is not a real person but performs with a live band) I’ve decided that it isn’t as bad as some current pop music. Plus you don’t have to worry about lyrics like “brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack” because it’s mostly in Japanese.
Not too bad, right? I mean, for pop music. It depends on how you feel about that sort of thing.
Mostly it was seeing the real musicians performing alongside a hologram that freaked me out.
h/t to the folks who showed this to me, one of whom was Lucas Gonze and the other of whom was Tom.
