Wasser represented Jolie in her divorce to Billy Bob Thorton over a decade ago. She’s someone Jolie has worked with before and trusts, who is also very good at her job. Jolie doesn’t pick her other clients.

Lainey: “You know what’s sad about how we talk about parenting? And this isn’t just about this situation but an observation in general. That it’s become so common to refer to someone as a “great mom” or a “terrific father”, like the title of being a mother and a father need to be qualified by those adjectives, as…

Entire economies orbit around this shit, though. There’s huge profit motive for literally thousands of people just based off the drama of this one divorce.

The attorney really doesn’t mean much. Laura Wasser is the “it” divorce attorney in Hollywood and will be involved in any divorce of high profile celebrities. Which side she represents would just depend on who pays her more/gets to her first. 

I think this is exactly right. And the fact of the matter is that in movies and on tv (cable) you are much more likely to see a naked woman than a naked man. Many actresses go full frontal in movies and it is accepted, but when a guy does goes full frontal, it is seen as “groundbreaking” and “brave.” I hate this so…

So, male sexual fantasy = art (Last Tango in Paris, Blue Velvet, Wild at Heart, Eyes Wide Shut, Body Heat).

I’m pretty sure the Scots invented Crossfit?

tl;dr

While I’m not ruling out the possible that he’s an IRL creep, it is entirely possible that he has a sext addiction, so to speak. Studies have shown that visual or audio cues signaling the arrival of a text message, tweet, etc. triggers the same synaptic response as pulling the lever on a slot machine. Basically, it…

That’s the thing – the internet isn’t a special space divorced from reality. It is reality. What you do and say is real and brings about real-world reactions and consequences. This isn’t just him online/through texts, this IS him.

Also am loving how the next post on Jez is a Kinja Deal for Vera Bradley bags.

I’m a little weirded out by how accurate this is:

Congrats! You’re a bag that screams, “There’s an 85% chance that the sweet tea I’m drinking out of this mason jar is spiked with vodka!”

$165 for a TOTE BAG. I’m dead.

I used to work news camera for a local TV station meaning we covered a lot of car wrecks and you wouldn’t believe the number of people who decided to go out driving after a beer or twelve who had a CHOOSE LIFE bumper sticker or similar on their car. I tried to frame it well when I edited the news later.

all of those things plus the lack of universal health care.

Them, and the forced-birth douchebags what say “you can just give it up for adoption” as if pregnancy and childbirth weren’t a huge goddamn ordeal.

Isn’t it a side effect of the obesity crisis, especially in light of the reduction in smoking in the US?

I’d love for this information to serve as a impetus to quell haughty douchebags from getting all huffy and pearl-clutchy about how women choose (or have) to give birth—vaginal, “natural,” c-section, VBAC, RCD, etc—pull their heads out of their asses for a second and be like “Yo, here’s a problem that’s affecting WAY…

Poverty, lack of education, food deserts, terrible women’s health services, miseducation about our bodies (I have learned more about my body in the comments section than I ever did in school). Possibly related to our high percentage of C-sections too maybe? (Meaning people who have multiple deliveries via C-section…
