I used to love Tarantino movies and generally gave him a pass despite the creepiness because it felt “all in good fun”. And then I read about this: https://www.businessinsider.com/quentin-tarantino-defends-choking-and-spitting-on-uma-thurman-during-filming-2018-2

I already know what it’s like to live in a world where only men are in control and they would rather live in the woods than do basic housekeeping. It’s called the reality of the last several hundred years.

I admit, my first thought was ‘omg that’s hideous’ but also ‘well she likely bought it for herself so when they break up she gets to keep it I guess’...

I’m guessing they bought the ring together, as she can afford whatever class diamond she wants.

My first thought was that she’s 34 years old and engaged to be married for the 3rd time. Excuse me for thinking it won’t last.

“Believing in shared values between rights activists and authoritarians is idiocy.”

I wrote this on another posting, but I believe this is the crux of the problem.

Seem like they were really unlucky to be in proximity of serial child rapists.

This is some pathetic victim blaming.

For some reason, I think Ghislaine was the brains of the operation. Epstein was the pervy blackmailer but Maxwell was the one with real connections and knew how to get dirt on people. She attended Chelsea’s wedding and had ties to the Royals well before she hooked up with him. She’s also managed to escape prosecution…

That doesn’t clearly sound like “I’m pregnant” to me. Some other things it sounded like:

I’m going to give Kylie a pass on the Tyga thing since she was a literal child who was targeted by an older man into that creepy ass relationship.

Does Cardi B deserve the critical eye? Absolutely. But comparing her to Khloe Kardashian in this instance is a false equivalence for me. Cardi B has a ton of new money, but as a woman of color former stripper from the Bronx, she’s not far from maybe the same marginalized status of the bartenders she beefed with.

“Has this family not spent the last decade mining the cultural identities of their friends, family, and partners for content and clout? Have they not dedicated hours of airtime to disparaging black men and women in the name of “loyalty”?”

Their version of femininity is a throwback to an era the rest of us gladly left behind. Ridiculous amounts of make-up, clothes that accentuate tits & ass and women are responsible for “their man’s” well-being. Backwards logic such as a strong woman beats up the woman “her man” cheated with. Jealousy, threats of…

This is slightly off-topic because there is a LOT to say about the Ks treatment of Jordyn, but was anyone else seriously disturbed (though not surprised, given the family’s intense dysfunction) that Tristan threatened to kill himself to get out of being accountable for his behavior, and that he apparently does this…

Jez is tugging all my teenage nostalgia heartstrings today. This is lovely.

You sound hysterical. Do you need a tissue?

I’ll take that bait:

Make fun all you want, with Paula in charge you guys would have healthcare, public school funding and good vibes all round!
