Then he should pull a McConnell and not appoint anyone, don’t even allow for a hearing. Sound familiar? What are the Rs going to do about it? Sue? That’s still a year or more with one less Republican Senator:)

I think “different time” means something slightly different in this context. I’m sure the vast majority of people thought this kind of relationship was messed up. But you definitely had people who married as teens or with a big age gap and thought it was normal. In Priscilla’s case her parents were probably born…

Only someone born post-internet would reflexively think “It was a different time” is meant to be a balm.

Pricilla monetized Elvis by exploiting being both his muse and his victim. Lisa Marie has the memories of a very young child whose father was in and out of the house and struggling with a serious drug issue.

Agreed, but this cracked me up:

I hear you. We rented when our daughter was small and the bedroom doors were flimsy and didn’t lock. I think we spent a couple of years in a state of drought.

As a couple who spent our children’s early years daydreaming about buying some property down the road and erecting a “sex yurt” to get some private time, my wife and I can only nod appreciatively hearing about Newman and Woodward’s fuck hut. They lived the dream.

(TMZ also noted that Timberlake tried to comfort her by playing guitar while she was on the bathroom floor in tears. Buddy...a heating pad and some tea would have been more helpful.)

Stating that he wasn’t ready to be a father does not pressure make.

This is why more women need to talk about their abortions. The ones with regrets dominate the conversation and frankly I’m sick of it. Even if you think your abortion is a tragedy, I don’t give a shit. The rest of us need access to reproductive care. 

Exactly. OWN YOUR CHOICE. This is what taking control of your body and your life looks like.

I’m sure her position that Timberlake all but forced her to terminate a pregnancy will be more palatable for her conservative-minded fans. She even stated that her religious upbringing made her feel bad about it. “If it had…

“If it had been up to me...”

Unless she’s alleging something really evil, IT WAS up to her. She could have told him to pound sand.

She’s 27 today, which makes her 20 in 2016.

And nooooobody else can possibly understand the difficulty of what they’re going through.

New parents remind me of PhD students, in that they think they are the first and only people who have ever had to work a day in their lives.

Joan Didion did not coin the phrases “the center will not hold,” its from the William Butler Yates poem The Second Coming, more famously appropriated by Chinua Achebe for his novel, Things Fall Apart.

When you’re a Jet your career goes to hell, from the day you first sign to your torn ACL

A Jet going down on 9/11 is a little too on the nose, universe.

In March 2022, the International Tennis Federation suspended the memberships of Russia and Belarus and cancelled all ITF events in those countries. The players knew they would be competing as individuals, not representatives, when they agreed to appear; choosing to participate makes a statement, too.   https://www.itft…

If it’s all ad lib and on the fly, I figure it’s probably not a violation. Even the WGA’s statement specifies writing: “Any writing on ‘The Drew Barrymore Show’ is in violation of WGA strike rules.” It’s a talk show. She could just have guests on and talk with them about whatever comes to mind - like a normal…
