You know what else is boring? Unemployment, being underinsured, widespread foreclosures/bankruptcy cycles we now accept as the norm and just another shitty fact of life. She didn’t create the system but she is certainly benefitting from it. So, an annoyed attitude and blase response for even being questioned about the…

It has deep roots in racism as well: https://nyupress.org/9781479886753/fearing-the-black-body

I’m not sure where you’re seeing that because what I see is activists challenging the idea that a fat person de facto has these conditions and the idea that it’s thin people’s duty to inform fat people strangers about the “dangers” of their own bodies.

Due to the many disadvantages, the explanations for the increase in the average bmi in North America can only be explained by there being associated advantages, or environmental influences. Driving everywhere is necessary in modern times, when people are obligated to work full-time while raising children and…

I wish I could star this comment more than once.

As I indicated above, it is the incredibly small number of financially self-supporting actors that makes the phenomena of nepotism in acting so disappointing. There were 1,331,290 working lawyers in the United States as of Jan. 1, 2023 which means that even if 700 (the number of self-supporting actors) of those…

Wow. That’s kind of the pot calling the kettle black, no?

“Do you feel equally angry about the people who take over the family business if a successful store and not being an actor in Hollywood?” There are 33,185,550 small businesses in the USA and 700 actors who make a living (over 50,000/year for at least 3 years in a row) from acting. So, no, I do not get as mad when…

is a boring topic? or is it instead a manifestation of broader cultural feelings regarding the ability to advance in our society?

I do think these stories are impactful.

Surely “vengeful” is the wrong word.

Mark Rylance is supposed to be awesome in person. That’s the only other one besides Keanu I’ve heard of. But yeah, it’s definitely slim pickins.

The whites LOVE to quote PARTS of MLKs “I have a dream” speech, but when it comes to the “Birmingham letters” they are oh so conveniently ignorant to what he wrote.

Especially when they (mostly white politicians/political commentators) use King as a cudgel to hit black people with but ignore his lessons that apply to their own fucking life.

Yes, by the current standards of behavior of powerful men in Hollywood it may be. But remember the bar for these people is currently in hell. It’s great that he didn’t rape her repeatedly, but could we maybe aim a little higher? None of this behavior is OK in a respectful relationship of equals and maybe it’s a good…

Sounds like a case of who’s going to put up with his cranky-ass, entitled shenanigans except some shady chick who steals from him? They clearly deserve each other.

LOL... you think they had a statement ready? Like, while he was still alive?

Kudrow: “So, you’re probably wondering why I called this meeting...”
Cox: “Where’s Matty?”
Kudrow: “Well, that’s what I want to talk about”
Aniston: “....”
Schwimmer: “What? We did an intervention a while back. He seems OK.”
LeBlanc: “Yeah, we…

Unfortunately, the writers kept making the idiosyncracies the main character traits.

Children in Gaza and Israel, “Am I ever going to find my mom?”

Adults in Gaza and Israel, “Shut up. We’re waiting to hear what Courtney Cox has to say”

Weird snark. I don’t think the world is waiting for their response. Most of us know how devastating this loss is for them.
