“Limited tax dollars” is the trap they have you in. The only reason why our tax dollars are limited is artificially high police and military budgets. To put this in context, the US military budget is literally insane. The other trap is making people forget that proving debt-forgiveness and other social programs that…

He has mild-moderate BPD, a lot of enabler friends, and pulls off a sleezebag Edward Cullan thing that can be really dangerous in guys even if they genuinely top out at moderate. I guess maybe girls with mild-moderate BPD don’t get excused in the same ways by their friends or love interests that boys can. Boys can get…

A friend of mine once spelled out for me that one of the reasons that they cast such young models is specifically they tend to be covered by their parents - both literally in terms of their health insurance but also in their general life needs. They can get away with having a much lower expectation of payment and…

Tenured (or otherwise stable) academic jobs are very hard to get, but they are relatively easy if you can actually get one. What used to be a stable academic job pipeline just cuts off somewhere in the 90s. This is a relatively new phenomenon, so what you have are time-locked faculties who didn’t work very hard to get…

I’m laughing at the possibility that the one time an older actor and younger actress was argued against by producers is a story about how that can be complicated at best and dangerous at worst. Hollywood execs tend to balk at the reality that uncomplicated healthy large age gaps do exist, but they almost universally…

This might be an okay movie, but it’s not Rebecca. It’s just a completely different story that they’re calling Rebecca. I don’t know how to put this because one of my number 1 pet peeves is pairing a young actress and an older actor, but like, it’s literally a book that is about how gross poorly matched May-December…

They offer white liberals exactly what they want - the feeling of providing representation, but from someone who is pantomiming an uncomplicated version of minority that fits with their worldview. Of course a white person lying would be telling them exactly what they want to hear.

While I doubt they could pull off a whole season, if there was any show that I think could pull off a stand-alone pandemic episode that was primarily filmed by the cast themselves using their own equipment, social media and video chats, it’s Euphoria. They already are known to play with genre and novel portrayals of…

Honestly, she could have done some cheesecake shots where she was technically nude but covering her bits and gotten away with it. Some people would have been mad, but she wouldn’t have been “scamming” them.

People forget that this is exactly what happened to Patreon to the point that most people don’t even remember that adult performers and sex workers of various types basically launched the service. When they changed the rules there wasn’t any one person to blame it on, they just did it to shift the model towards…

That’s just the resolution of the image. High-res looks beautiful.

Annie Leibovitz is a bad photographer full stop! I mean how many photoshop monstrosities and terrible color compositions does she need to release before people stop giving her work.

My conspiracy theory is that Will knew something was happening with the AA, but didn’t think it was a romance or whatever. I def had a friend forgive her husband for what she thought was a stupid mistake and then unforgive him when she found out it was an actual affair.

I bet you anything that if this is more or less true, Will tried to explain to August Alsina that he and Jada were separated but still intended to stay married and he took it as a “blessing” not a “forgiving warning.”

I can’t remember who it is, but someone came forward recently talking about hair implants. I also know that most celebrities get daily rogaine treatments. It’s way more effective when it’s being applied by an expert.

She’s literally wearing a Fu-Manchu mask.

“Oh so you’re going to refuse to get real licence plates because reasons?”

The right things to say tend to sound like they are “the right things to say” because they are the right things to say. The reason why I keep replying is that you are pinging me as a white supremacist who doesn’t know it. You ever notice how many white people showing their asses lately are Democrat communications…

Any time anyone mentions they “idolize” Steve Jobs, I always say “Um, so if you get cancer you’re going to drink juice and die from not treating your cancer?”

People who benefit from machines designed to perpetuate white supremacy are accountable to everyone. Not an unpaid internship. The time and money to pay for classes to build contacts, the money to produce and self-fund a professional one woman show, and the lack of self-awareness to wear to fu-manchu mask combined…
