Right wing assholes have no idea what they’re talking about, as usual. That said, a pretty landmark study was published recently that basically finds no link between depression and low serotonin levels, and which could explain why medications (specifically SSRIs) don’t work for so many people. It’s a pretty massive…

The book received rave reviews from adults upon its release and was touted as a way to keep kids off drugs. Kids, meanwhile, were fascinated by this lurid tale of drugs and sex. It was regarded in my middle school as something like porn that we were actually allowed to access: grown-up and a little scary, but in the…

This!

This makes me SO FUCKING HAPPY. 

Woah. Who hurt you? I don’t know why you mistook my comment as anything aggressive or contrarian, it really wasn’t the intent and rereading it I still don’t get that sense. The talented part was just my take on her, not meant to contradict yours, since you also said she was talented. The only part I was really…

• Lori Loughlin made her first TV appearance following her college admissions scandal on Saturday and...it was not to discuss the college admissions scandal! Yet another wild showing from Aunt Becky. [ET]

No, she definitely had a moment where she was the next ‘it’ girl and was getting a ton of attention. Then she definitely started doing less press and getting less exposure even if she still kept working. Sounds like a it was a conscious choice on her part and good for her. Not everyone can (or should) withstand that…

MasterClass series on Personal Branding

Two grown ups on their second marriages, and second go-rounds making their “honeymoon” an opportunity to have a family vacation with their newly blended families is not even a little bit weird.

Sorry but even if it’s a symbolic gesture and not because of the song title (you never know given some people’s levels of hypersensitivity and literalness these day), it’s still some pink ribbon level performative BS. Call me cynical but it also seems like an attempt to get publicity and stay relevant...

It’s the Trump kids, they’re all fucking psychophaths, I’m not surprised these are their endearing memories of Mama Ivana. 

• In solidarity with victims of gun violence, Pat Benatar will no longer play “Hit Me With Your Best Shot” at live shows. Another sacrifice made by literally every single person but our nation’s lawmakers. [USA Today]

Exactly. The problem is the types of people who become fans in the first place, the very nature of fandom itself. The toxicity is built into it. 

Yes, the whole entire world is a Karen to Mo’Nique...

True. Though I can’t tell who stars comments. I think I misinterpreted you based on the usual way you jump down my throat at all my comments, but this time it’s my bad ;)

LOL I was literally agreeing with you, just saying that in addition to lack of resources, municipal incompetence also played a role in the current situation. You’re the one who decided that was an unbearable affront, or something. So go ahead, play the victim. You’re definitely good at that.

The point is you focused only on the lack of resources, which in many cases is beyond a city government’s control, and not on the stuff cities can do with the available resources, and don’t. DC literally topped the list of worst-run cities in the country just last month...
