Thank you! This is one thing my beau does not understand. He is puzzled that I vastly prefer Christoph Waltz over Ryan Gosling. I think Ryan Gosling seems so...bland. Like mayonnaise on white bread bland.

Fair point. My speculation is based on K not just admitting her feelings, but actually trying to kiss the letter writer only now that he is engaged. (Though, I doubt that he’s established particularly strong boundaries with K as she’s tried to kiss him multiple times...I get that he’s torn. And I have sympathy for…

She doesn’t love him. She loves drama.

Word. David O. Russell sounds like an emotional ghoul.

I think it’s supposed to be aspirational, but yes, I concur wholeheartedly. Every time I hear something about celebrity lifestyle blogs I am reminded of this article from the Guardian:"[Insert bland-name celebrity here] another pandering mess of e-commerce..."

She probably thought that if he wasn’t DTF he’d at least be flattered enough by the ego boost to a. not bring it up with this wife and b. not fire her. Even if we believe that the text was an accident, she’s pegged herself as a threat to the marriage — doesn’t matter if he’s 100% not interested, there’s no good reason…

I bet dollars to donuts that she was testing the waters . She knew exactly who she was sending it to; she just didn’t expect him to go scorched earth if he rejected her advances.

Thank you. One of the first things I did was look up a picture of the victim. All too often, they are erased.

I read it exactly the same way. She’s not just calling him a bitch, she’s calling him her bitch.

Not so much the “love of a good woman,” but lots and lots of therapy. There’s an article from a while back where he talks about going through analysis. He seemed to realize that he wasn’t going to meet the kind of woman he wanted to settled down with if he didn’t cut the crap and start working out some of his issues.

Ignoring her, moving on with the rest of the lesson and dealing with the issue after class was also an option. There are ways to handle people who disobey authority without going completely batshit insane.

And the update from the CEO is horrifying (emphasis mine):

Ha! That’s the same exact moment I walked out on too!

I think they included that because in his doofus-y ransom letter he called himself and his accomplices “gentleman thieves.”

I, however, will be taking my fiance’s name because I hate my family. Or we’ve talked about making a name up and going with that for the both of us.

Yeah, it’s all fun and games until that fucker punches out someone’s eye.

There’s no worse writing than someone trying so hard to be “edgy.”

When did “pearl-clutching” become the go to put-down on Jezebel? Do I care if people I don’t know do drugs? No. Do I care if these people try to sneak drugs on a plane? Not really. Aside from not thinking that the article is all that well written, it’s not particularly conservative on my part to think that advising…

I don’t think many people have issue with drug consumption, but advising people on how to travel with drugs is pretty stupid, imo.

Cue sad trombone.
