Watching this was literally physically stressful thanks to Pence being a lying weasel, but I thought Kamala did an amazing job navigating the minefield that was everything about this moment both politically and personally for her. I don’t think it will make a difference to anyone in the 45 cult, but I do hope those…

I have been able to forgive the people around me for their failures here. My ex’s bad behavior was very subtle and hard to see as problematic from the outside. Oh this guy is sending you flowers and cupcakes and comes to my house and is super polite and pleasant in my presence? Oh wow, what an asshole! It took me a…

No doubt that Colton’s own religious upbringing and masculinity issues likely stemming from football culture contributed to all of this too. The virginity pledge, the gay rumors - he’s got a lot of rules in his head about who he is “supposed to” be specifically as it relates to his manhood and moral goodness as a man…

I had a relationship that ended in stalking behavior a few years back. I see so much of our dynamic in this couple - I was never as enthusiastic as he was, and he pursued me unrelentingly despite my ambivalence. The worst part of the experience was my friends and family framing his behavior as flattering and…

I think we’ve officially reached some sort of hail-mary-pass-throw-spaghetti-at-the-wall-and-see-what-sticks desperation stretch from 45. He’s always been a chaos demon, but he always seemed to stay just behind the line of what his “moderate” supporters (whatever that means) would theoretically accept. Or he had…

All of this, and the real icing on the cake is he WAS lying, but yet again, we had it all wrong. It’s actually a failed cover up, and he knowingly exposed his own supporters, staff and family to covid mask free while he was contagious. As usual, he went even lower than we all even imagined.

Certainly understandable to have questioned it, and I am sure everyone did for at least I moment. I did too, because 45 is an actual chaos demon! My point is we start to mirror the same toxic thinking of the conspiracy theory right when we entertain it too long and start amplifying our own conjecture socially.

There is nothing new in this tape and it won’t impact a single opinion one way or another. Trump’s team and supporters have already been using these lines for years now - we are actually treating the kids better than they are in treated in Mexico, they are coached to scam America, Obama did it...etc etc etc...and they…

This. These kind of mental gymnastics are no different than the crazy webs that inform QAnon conspiracy theories. 

I’m just waiting for Chris Harrison to pop out and tell us this will be the most dramatic finale ever. 

Well, now that you’ve reminded me? Nothing. Punch me forever. 

JFC, somebody punch me so hard that I black out until 2021. Or maybe 2025. 

“It was Trump who was chaotic because that’s all he knows. Saying otherwise is not measured balance–it’s a lie.”

This response does not address my argument. Does this post actually make a single substantive point about this election?

Look, we are all tired of EVERYTHING, but we have to keep our wits about us. If we can’t have a legitimate, intellectually honest conversation about dominant positions across all political factions…

The outcry from readers here is not about relinquishing anybody’s right to express beliefs, nor is it intellectually honest to imply this post is even about beliefs. This post isn’t saying anything substantive about the content of the debate, or the policy positions of any candidate, fringe or mainstream. It is a sarc…

This. It is not within the capabilities (or, frankly, responsibilities) of private corporations to maintain their entire workforce for extended periods when their core business functions are depressed or fully non-functional. It also does not make sense that one would be surprised or disappointed if a private company…

Three withered husks play-acting as authorities on the Empire’s future? REALLY?

I know. And here I am, contributing to the problem! Unclear why I’m still holding on. The lack of nuance and linear reasoning is disappointing. I find the comment sections are of higher quality than the articles themselves at this point, which might be some sort of internet version of hell freezing over? I wish the…

Came here to say some version of this. A lot of articles on the site right now pinning the entire responsibility of problematic cultures and business practices on TV shows and films on the talent that serves as the face of them. While they aren’t absolved of all blame, these are massive production machines with webs…

I’m hopeful your friends are finding new roles! Even if her style isn’t illegal, it sounds like it was a terrible fit for them, and they would be happier elsewhere. I left my previous role due to a bad boss who was legitimately and illegally horrible, to the point where our whole team reported her to HR and ultimately…
