Lol at them mentioning guns being drawn. This is how people get arrested. Nice to know rich, white people can get the poor, minority treatment too.

My parents were not always great parents, but they did give us fantastic advice when it was time to apply to college. They basically told us “We can’t afford to send you anywhere, so don’t worry about the financial side of it. Apply wherever you want to go. You’re a great student and if a college wants you, they will…

And then there’s those of us who got fuck all from our parents, and were lucky to make a career after paying for night classes at a business college. My parents didn’t even walk me though getting loans for school, much less how to apply for college. I had to figure it all out myself in my late 20s after I got tired of…

before I went to college I was super naive and ignorant and dumb

Yep! Busted my ass to get into Princeton, got the acceptance letter, my dad asked how much financial aid and work study I got, saw a bunch of zeros tallied, and had to find somewhere else. This whole thing pisses me off. These kids were already born with every head start possible and they still couldn’t get across the…

I hope people that have been rejected by USC sue the school.

I wonder if brands like Sephora and Amazon are embarrassed to have collaborated with her now, and If other brands will be put-off from sponsoring her in the future.

“I don’t know how much of school I’m gonna attend,” she shared with her nearly 2 million subscribers, after explaining her extensive work schedule. “But I’m gonna go in and talk to my deans and everyone, and hope that I can try and balance it all. But I do want the experience of like game days, partying…I don’t really…

Bwahahaha. 62% of grades at Yale are A’s and A-’s. You probably mean competitive admissions (and of course they’re more competitive, what with the women and POC expecting to be considered). But do not for one hot second misspeak about rigor once enrolled at almost any Ivy. Grade inflation is the reward for the…

according to prosecutors, the children of the rich and famous weren’t aware that their college admissions were premised on a bribe.

I haven’t. I’m old enough - and cursed with a keen memory - to remember why and how much I despise these people. I was particularly disgusted by the hagiography that went on last year when HW and Barb died last year. They were just awful; as awful as their son.

Legitimate question after reading this article and several others. All the articles indicate the students were “unaware their college admissions were premised on a bribe.” Okay, fine. But as a 17 or 18 year old, wouldn’t you be aware that it is unusual that someone is in the testing room with you giving you help and…

This development warms the cockles of my first-generation college student heart.

My old job was 9-5, for real—people would remark if you stayed past 5. With an hour lunch break. And a fifteen minute break in the morning, and another one in the afternoon. I got sick time/personal days, as well as four weeks of vacation. I also got a pension. When I was not working (before 9, after 5, weekends,…

and why i’m not a fan of true crime. in many cases i don’t think these crimes are newsworthy and definatly not national newsworthy so i’ve alwasy been offended at ‘casts like Serial and writers like Ann Rule. these works are not a record but a dramatization usually based on a single person’s memory (always bad) or a…

Nothing wrong with that approach. Hey, it worked for Mae West for 50 years (and in perpetuity).

I have a fond memory about 9 to 5, not the film, but the theme song (still probably the best film theme song ever, and Dolly Parton was WRONGLY denied that Oscar; which went to Fame, a good song, but not a timeless classic).

There’s also the former office drunk (because this was the age when alcoholism was funny), who thanks Dabney Coleman’s character at the end of the movie for setting up an in-house program to deal with substance abuse, something that’s pretty commonplace now.

Please let’s talk more about him taking taking credit for women’s ideas. It’s still happening *everywhere*. I have a boss who forced me to ghost-edit, translate and—to some extent—write his research. I know I’m not the only one and mine isn’t the only industry affected by this.

Dolly Parton is the female Tom Cruise in that shes not really an actor, shes always “DOLLY PARTON”, but some roles require “DOLLY PARTON” as a character so they just write it for her and she says the lines as herself.
