My sweet, late husband died from it at age 42. Somehow he was spared the worst, it seems....he was himself until the end, and went quickly once the chemo stopped working after a year and 8 or so months. We took a vacation three weeks before he died (albeit a somewhat challenging one due to his paralysis and speech

I’m so sorry for your loss. I’ve been an oncologist for nearly 20 years, and there is no cancer that frightens me more than GBM. They are relentlessly and universally horrible.

I also have a brain tumor.  Not as bad as a glioblastoma, but still not great.  However, it has been 16 years since I was diagnosed!  They have many new treatment options, and I urge him to get a second opinion.

Yeah I had real fear for Montrose when he and Tic were at the portal waiting and they framed him directly in front of the window. Hollywood loves a stray bullet moment just when people start to reconcile and I’m glad the writers didn’t go that way. It would have been melodramatic and wasteful. 

This was a somber and incredible episode. Being a queer black man on the other end of a father’s intent to protect his son from being gay...seeing that on the screen brought back so many memories....so much trauma. I’ve never felt so seen, so hurt, so moved. I cannot forgive anything that Montrose has done - but I

Omg, I cried like a fucking baby during MTS’s Savage performance. I hadn’t read any of the SNL reviews beforehand, so I just wasn’t expecting that. JFC, her words combined with Tamika Mallory’s quote... it was so powerful. It gutted me, tbh.

Thank You! I cannot deal with these people who think Trump is some kind of Machiavellian Super Nixon who leads everyone around by the nose and has some brilliant over reaching design. He’s an imbecile who pulls things out of his ass that has absolutely no credibility. Occam’s razor for Christ’s sake. 

People, can we please shut down the idea that this diagnosis is a hoax? Trump is not Machiavelli - he’s a schoolyard bully, and the thing bullies fear above all else is showing any sort of weakness. At every turn, even before he was elected, Trump has lied, deflected and projected to avoid admitting to the slightest

She reminds me of the Jonathan Price character’s mother in “Brazil,” after she gets a powerful clamp attached to the back of her head to tighten her sagging facial skin.

People need to know that it is fine to not agree with someone’s way of life while understanding that expressing that opinion can be incredibly harmful. Chadwick Boseman was a live life quietly kind of man. His cancer diagnosis was not the only thing he did in silence. His marriage was carefully guarded. That

A mediocre at best middle aged white man failing upwards??? I am shocked I tell you, shocked!

I feel almost hopeful. I’d eat some roasted pharma CEO.

What an absolute badass. The argument is always ‘oh, liberals only argue with emotions and not facts,’ and then Katie Porter just annihilates them with facts. All for nothing of course because America. But at least some people are fighting the good fight.

I feel lucky that Eric’s stepped up and really wants to be involved with her school work.

I hope that the fallout from this investigation hits Ivanka hard enough that she will never be able to run for public office.  Sam with her brothers.  They’ll probably always be grifters, but they should all be prevented from holding public office.

Gonna be interesting consider Ivanka was being used to claim losses while paying her consulting fees:

His death cult will continue on, but this is the final door shut on of his presidency.

Anyone else catch the speed at which Trump called the press conference as soon as NYT published? A record 20 minutes.

He ran for president to keep himself from declaring another bankruptcy. Think about that. That’s it. That’s the entire Trump presidency. It was literally yet another way to shirk responsibility. And he wants to STAY president, because the IRS is still very much on his heels.

Game, set, match.
