Sharon Osbourne needs to take a goddamned WALK. The audacity to seriously say “how can I be racist? how can I be racist anywhere in my life?” as if her belief that she is a good person supersedes the feelings and dignity of her cohosts. And the balls to disingenuously say “educate me”. Feeling like a good person is so

Xena > Buffy.

True, the internet (especially facebook **shudders**) is full of bullshit hot takes that make a lot of people feel good behind their keyboards but help no one in the end. I also think it’s some heinous bullshit to attack someone for trying to help their kids. It’s difficult enough to navigate a crisis, but compounded

Right, then what we are talking about are two separate types of entity. Residential treatment programs that incorporate sound mental health treatments and employ educated and accredited staff vs. anything else. We all understand that conversion therapy is abhorrent, and any program that utilize similar tactics to

I think you have a good point and there is definitely an option C where we don’t abandon sick children to kill themselves. But I think you can certainly appreciate as a professional in the field that “troubled teens” should really be addressed like the sick children with distinct medical concerns that they are. I

The author Ned Vizzini threw himself from his roof in 2013. He’d suffered from depression since adolescences and had written two books that helped me through my own depression and anxiety when I was a young teen. He was not a big celebrity, but he was a large presence  in my life. His writing was personal, self

Oh my god the transphobe’s sudden interest in women’s sports is so disingenuous and patronizing. Listen, women’s athletics don’t need to be “saved” from predetory trans women and don’t fucking pretend that GD blowhard transphobic, homophobic assholes ever REALLY cared about women’s sports before. “Protect women’s

His dad is saying his son “kept it cool” because he’d been in Georgia and following the Trump rallies around for a while. He wasn’t afraid for his son even though “I suppose it got very dramatic for a bit like” because his son was “willing to cope with it”. He was impressed and he knew his popularity had something to

Ugh. What a shitty fucking day to work hospitality, however it should have been pretty easy for this manager to handle this situation without letting this woman run wild and allowing his guests to be LITERALLY ATTACKED. She’s clearly having some sort of meltdown (most-likely just a bratty temper tantrum that escalated

I’ve heard way too many idiots on Fox News and OAN ponder “what is Trump’s plan?”. He has no plan! He’s a narcissist who is only too happy to destroy millions of lives just so he can say “It was me! I did it!” Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck this guy. 

It’s played out but.... I did not have “democrats and Trump work together to fuck Republicans” on my 2020 bingo! Trump is such a perfect example of a narcissist his public outbursts should be taught in psych classes. He has so little actual power left and this is one of the only things he can do to remind people “I’M

I don’t think it’s really self important to say “If you break the goddamned rules I will fire you before people get sick/before we have to shut down!”

an insecure and petty one. academia is chock full of them.

This was a hard one to read because I watched the same shit happen to so many female classmates, grad students and PHD candidates when I was an undergrad. It’s why I didn’t pursue higher degrees and I imagine the same is true for so many women who leave academia when they have more to contribute.

I gotta say.... I just don’t have patience for Sia anymore. I’m not saying what she claims in untrue at all, but it feels like jumping on the bandwagon. Especially because this is a convenient controversy that can distract from the disaster that is her film Music. Also.... in 2012 Shia Lebouf was a very public person

I live in a suburb on the metro-north line in CT and we have been over-run by fleeing New Yorkers. It’s been hilarious as the declining CTers have giddily sold their homes for WAY more than they’re worth to NYC residents that have no idea what to look for in a house. I’ve also had some curious encounters with NYC

Fascinating that the director’s take on a “shitty apartment” is... having a TV? 

How did you get in here?? Shoo! Shoo! Someone get a broom! 

I would have maybe started by.... meeting some folks with autism? 

No no no. Listen, dummy. The fines are not just for violating an arbitrary health code... it’s for recklessly and callously impacting the lives of others. Family, friends, first responders, health care workers that now have to deal with the consequences of a totally unnecessary and lame fucking turkey dinner. Fuck you
