“‘The reality is married persons did not and do not forfeit their right to bodily autonomy because they got married,’ Kasey Holderbaum of the Ohio Domestic Violence Network said, per Cleveland.com.”

If she’d carried to term, this pregnancy would have been revealed around 2001 (cause she was 19.) She was already such a total phenom by that point that, while I’m sure it would have cost her some money and probably some very young fans, she had already been a household name for years and had very salable brand—i.e.,…

I was also surprised the day I learned that “Producer” was a vastly more meaningful role to take in a production than “Executive Producer” (which is something they'll give anyone for damn near any reason.)

When I was 16 (circa 2000-2001,) I damn near walked in front of a city bus while crossing the street to the 7-11 next to my high school. Like the fella in your anecdote, I too more or less forgot myself while similarly captivated (inclusive of the low-rise jeans.)

“It made her rich.”

“Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) said the U.S. can’t accept Gaza refugees, many of whom are kids, because they ‘are all antisemitic.ʼ”

“Apparently, Iran had no idea this was coming.”

Bush/Kerry 04 was the first election I was old enough to vote in, so I remember the Bush years all too well.

“Ellison—a Harry Potter-loving and blogging 28-year-old gal with a disturbing interest in ‘human biodiversity’ (aka a modern spin on eugenics)”

It’s incredibly unlikely he’d be worse, or even as bad as Trump. So, you know, we've had worse.

but those are pretty pathetic excuses/explanations for doing a racism or several.

“[S]o excuse me for not giving half a fuck how “hard” it honestly isn’t for this woman to do a pretty fucking basic part of her extremely basic not real at all ‘job’.”

“1) this woman’s entire life is about being an online influencer, so the optics of not scrubbing this from her socials look like pathetic laziness at best, or acceptance of (or continued) racism at worst”

I’m sure football fans have a great deal of knowledge about this thing that they are a fan of. The “story” (such as there is one) is that Swift’s presence at these games is bringing football, if not the team Kelce plays on, gobs of attention it would not otherwise have from demographics who do not know or care much…

For the rest of us who don’t much care about football, don’t follow football, and for whom nearly anything we learn about football gets forgotten almost as soon as it’s learned... this is our introduction to Donna Kelce.

The interest in Kelce's mother's relationship with Swift is part and parcel of the national media's obsession with Kelce and Swift's relationship. If Swift were not in the mix, no one would give a shit; we would not know this woman exists.

They could also have just used any resort like they did for Claire/Tayshia's season of The Bachelorette, or Matt James' season of The Bachelor.

I understand what you’re saying, I believe you... and it makes me a little sad that this isn’t more weird or interesting.

I’m sure mom is super excited about her son’s impending immortalization in a song that makes him sound bad.

Ohhhh... so what is the sex act? (just P in V?) Doing a bunch of coke and then simply getting it on doesn’t sound like very much of a sex ritual.
