insiders are saying Amal is pregnant - “nearing the end of her third trimester,” to be exact.

Last week, when Angela Lansbury was the “Rising Star”, I thought it couldn’t get more ridiculous. I was wrong.

Calling Paul Walker a ‘Rising Star’ seems super offensive...

Thank God someone finally called out Big Abortion and the massive for-profit women’s reproductive healthcare industrial complex—when will these women learn that abortions are only OK if you’re pressured into it by your married politician lover?

Yeah, Asian airports often get that stuff so right. Changi in Singapore is similar. Basically everything you ever wanted, easily accessible and beautifully laid out. Want a nap? There are tidy little sleeping nooks. Want a shower? No problem, here’s a fluffy towel. Want to do your hair after? The styling equipment is…

Kristina, you can have any other chicken as a pet, you have a whole chicken farm.

my dogs love wine too so there is no way this doesn’t work out.

That’s what I got out of this as well. He just wants her name on the paper so he can get her to pay child support. While I defos don’t think the surrogate should have to have anything more to do with the kid or be forced into child support I also wonder why they needed to put anything in the ‘mother’ side of the…

Come join my baby and dog commune, pls.

I was wondering why they didn’t just do that the first time I read this - give the baby for someone for adoption since as you say they would have no trouble placing a healthy newborn. But on second read I suppose it sounds like Lamar Sally intends to raise the baby and just wants the child support from Sherri?

But what I said is literally true. This article was stating that someone who has a 40% chance of getting into an elite university automatically has a 60% chance of getting in if they’re a legacy.

IQ has nothing to do with going to a good school. I’ve met Ivy League grads who couldn’t find their way out of a paper bag if someone were holding their hand. One person in my med school class stands out like that. One of the dumbest people I’ve met in my life and an Ivy League graduate. All it means is that they had…

You kind of lost me at your premise that rich kids perhaps have a “good genetic basis for intelligence”. After reading that I had the realisation that rich kids perhaps also have a good genetic basis for privilege-soaked, discriminative, ignorant fuckerishness. The evidence is, of course, purely anecdotal, but perhaps…

But the colleges don’t even pretend that— they are pretty open that being a legacy makes you more likely to get in, regardless of your actual qualifications.

Also, I didn’t apply. (I applied to Brown, though. If memory serves, they sent me back a Post-it note that just said, “LOL.")

I did not go to Harvard

Good point! I bet a lot of the college admissions stuff that used to be used to keep out Jews is now working to keep out racial minorities and economically disadvantaged students. I mean, if you have to get an afterschool job and take care of your little brothers while Mom works the grave shift at the 7-11, you barely…

I’m increasingly convinced that knowing the right people is the only way anyone gets ahead in the US. We are not a meritocracy.

It should be noted that a lot of college admissions stuff we take for granted, not just legacy admissions, were also a means of keeping out Jews, especially the focus on extracirriculars, essay-writing, and athletics.

I love that they’re trying to bring the “see how it makes our campus better” argument into it. Yeah, it makes your campus better by ensuring millions of dollars go to the endowment. I know the article mentioned this, but you can make a legitimate argument for affirmative action improving campus life (diversity is how…
