Back in the late 1990s, books by “Great Men”, defined as people who headed companies that made a lot of money, and they were ALL men, were thick on the ground. Every company that did well had a man in charge who thought his company did well because HE was in charge, and so his words were all people needed to become…

One casualty of my office-working days was a super snarky article from the Economist about the advice of “Great Men” like Cook, Gates, Jobs, Bezos, etc. I loved it so much that I laminated it and put it on my individual fridge in the hopes that my clueless agency head would read it and see himself. (He never did…

I mean, think about how many fans he probably took advantage of on tours and stuff.

Yeah, I’d always wondered if he happened to be a perfectly nice fella with an over-the-top stage persona (like, say, Alice Cooper). Turns out he was just a regular asshole who uses his ‘art’ as cover for sociopathic/abusive behaviour.

I mean, that he has a public persona that’s different from what he’s like in his private life? It’s very far from unusual. Many provocative artists are regular people when they’re not performing. Maybe when you get to know him, he seems like a nice guy. Doesn’t pull any of that shit until later, when you’ve let your…

Speaking of expectations - when you victim-shame, you can fully expect to get dragged for it.

Please tell me he’s looking at jailtime for this, not just a quietly settled lawsuit.

For my circle of friends (we are going into our 40's) we’re mostly angry at the way we’ve been manipulated to A) wanting to look like her, B) then becoming jealous of her, C) then laughing at her downfall, only to them D) repeat with someone else. I’ve known a small circle of my friends going back to elementary school…

I’m neither the target audience for this (who is?) nor an interested party, but the description of how this sounds really does align with the driving appeal of a Saw knockoff.

Texas trial lawyer here... I understand the comment regarding litigation being a cooling process but, as a Plaintiff’s attorney, my immediate thought was of the various Defense-friendly measures that Texas has passed which would greatly benefit PP in this fight. 1.) What are the damages? In Texas, damages for personal…

I think people doing it for the photo ops are doing it wrong. I always figured the real appeal in this is giving your kid something new and just watching how they react. That’s the most fun of having a baby (said as an auntie), watching them find something they like. Sure, snap a picture or two for the memories of the…

Aren’t his parents like owners of a notoriously violent blood emerald operation?

What gets me is how openly creepy these guys act for YEARS before the beans get spilled. They spend a lot of time testing limits and making sure everybody just goes “well, that’s just how Creepy is.”

Personally, I believe if you CAN live by the beach, you should.

I thought that about living at the beach too, like, if it’s too hot, so what? We got rid of all our possessions when we moved to Panama, brought just what we could fit in our allotted three suitcases each, so moving when you only own clothes, three cats and a puppy, and wineglasses doesn’t seem too tough. Also, my…

The last time I bought a car the salesman gave me free mats but then he texted me and asked me out afterward. Total inappropriate use of personal info.

Hey y’all! There was a parade here this morning, with chanting men, flags, and also some horsies walking up to main road. A May 1/union workers jawn, and it was quite cool to watch.

Someone I know got busted for elder abuse after spending years whining about how much he did to take care of his aging mother with dementia. Turned out he racked up over $40k in credit card debt in her name, remortgaged her house even though it was totally paid off, cashed in her dang funeral account, and stole over…

RIP Olympia Dukakis! She was a fantastic actress and this was sad news.

A creep I used to know served over 2 years for having sex with a 15 year old girl while employed as a substitute teacher.
