It’s definitely an addiction. It helps to think of it as an addiction to validation, and the delivery system for validation is just different for people. For some people it’s having emotional affairs without ever touching another person other than their partner. For others it’s a constant string of one night stands…

But also: you’re completely right that drugs are different—I hate when people try to make non-substance-abuse related problems the same as drug addiction.

Give your father my heartfelt thanks for his service. I hope more of his like speaks up both loudly and publicly. This administration is neck-deep in grifters.

We must stick together, and stay strong, for the mistaken people are everywhere.

I did ten minutes of this show last year and need that time back, I am old.

Color me

Guess who’s off the family text chain.

I feel like I am the only person IMRL (in my real life) who doesn’t watch this dumb show. It looks awful - why the fuck would I want a TV show to make me cry when real life is doing a pretty good job of it already.

Bobby, I cherish your hatred for This Is Us. It sustains me.

I think I’m fairly morbid as far as entertainment goes, but this is too far for me. I can’t see any entertainment value in the story of this poor kid. Just feels wrong and icky.

I can’t speak to any legal merits of this. And Bobby Brown can go eff himself as far as any disparaging information toward him is concerned.

What the hell is it about this administration/dumpster fire that makes them lie about the stupidest, most easily checked out stuff? (Setting aside the whole “why did you do this in the first place” thing.)

I’m forwarding that to him. Thank you. ALL THE STARS!

I would not be the least bit surprised if he was one of those rich fuckers who honestly thinks that, because he’s paid so much in taxes over the years, the government somehow owes him more.

God these people are so goddamn shameless. This fucker Munchin is a millionaire- yet he still thinks he can get free shit at the expense of everyone else. Fuck him.

It turns out she wasn’t bragging that they didn’t take a government plane for their honeymoon, but complaining.

The name for that color is staring us right in the face:

Your Dad has a way with words and ethics. Wish i could star him directly.

My Father was an Air Force Air Mobility Command Officer (Now Retired). I’ll let his email to me speak for itself:

James Woods, like most of his unhinged brethren, exists only in opposition to ideas. Entirely incapable of advancing the human condition or articulating arguments for anything, they can only scream, “No!” in the face of progress and obstruct the work of others.
