It’s gonna be a snake-pit, and by all reports that is just how Trump likes it. He apparently delights in pinning his underlings against one-another while doing absolutely none of the heavy lifting (or even light reading) himself.

Re: Bowie- I’m glad someone is finally putting those rumors to bed. Bowie was a Tolkein fan, but there’s no way in hell he’d ever sign up for 11 years of being Gandalf in New Zealand and all the movie promo and licensing that went along with it. Bowie was adamant that acting was a flirtation and music was his love. 11…

Shampagne.

Does anyone watch the Kardashian method of relationships and life and just think, “What would (insert name) Kardashian do?” and then make sure to do the opposite?

Even if it’s all staged, who goes through life even pretending to live like that as a job?

The damage was done long before Obama told Putin to stop. The damage was done when the media decided Clinton’s win was assured and that she should be dogged relentlessly for every email revelation, real or imagined. We can complain about Russia all we want, but Russians didn’t force the New York Times to dedicate…

It’s been interesting watching Twitter after the press conference. All the reporters are talking about the Russia Hacks or the fainting episode or anything but the two solid minutes where Obama lambasted them for running with the hacked email narrative for 6 months then wondering why it was such a big deal.

1. Will I ever afford retirement or will I work until I’m dead? The odds are pretty good that we’ll all be dead within a decade.

It only looks like so much free time because of the hands holding it.

Abby Lee Miller

She is on a show called Dance Moms and is mean and I think maybe a criminal of some kind? I don’t watch it and that’s all I know, but there’s a jumping off point. Oh ETA her name is Abby something

I don’t know, maybe she is trying to appeal to a certain demographic of men? I had a friend in college who was pretty normal in general, but when she got drunk she was loud and rowdy, would do things like pee on the sidewalk and just walk up on stage and sing along with the band, commandeering microphones, stand on…

Agreed. I can see the appeal of a woman playing up the “clumsy trainwreck” thing for brand/PR/image because who hasn’t been the messy girl mopping up their spilled drink with their dress at least once? But it definitely went past the point of being relateable or funny a long time ago.

I think her team is constantly saying “yes” to her by encouraging or tolerating this trashy Kentucky girl thing and it’s really starting to damage things for her. From the whole sacred-rock debacle to this. Her “crazy” anecdotes are routinely falling flat these days.

Agreed. I understand its all is just put there to reinforce her brand. I also understand that she may be just doing all this crass shit because it’s a PR stunt and her people are trying to defect that her new movie ain’t supposed to be good. But I am over it. Use some adult judgement JL.

Demolition Man was a movie ahead of its time.

I think you just have to do your best. But tbh, this is where allies are important. Some men won’t listen to anything I say regarding sexism, but they’ll trust my husband when he talks about it. :/

“Jones’s vision of love suggests blindness, endless patience and a great deal of emotional labor on the part of people who are already exhausted. It puts the onus on us to prove we are worthy of compassion and justice.”

This didn’t happen overnight, it’s been happening since 1980—even before, really, going back to Phyllis Schlafly’s dark-money-funded attack on the Equal Rights Amendment, which presented a bizarre, Kochs’-eye vision of manly men being unmanned by manly women.
