In a vacuum the cross situation could be seen either way re: handling publicly vs privately, but there seems to be a pattern.

not so fast my friend.

Fair enough. Not yet, I suppose it depends on the nature of the allegations and public awareness/sentiment toward the accused, but again with the rose mcgowan example: i don’t think many people going into 2017 had predicted “ ‘90s actress’ with a “fading” career will be a time person of the year recipient”

Probably not the best term, but not far off. I’m thinking of stuff like high profile speaking engagements and an elevated status as an authority, e.g. rose mcgowan before she went terf and pissed that away

An ugly truth of “millennial-hood” is that identity+victim status (real or imagined) = unconditional positive attention at minimum and in the best cases fame and prestige. It was something pretty overlooked by the activist set in not understanding what jussie smollett had to gain from faking a racial assault

how does the go saying about “if you meet an asshole, you met an asshole. If everyone you meet is an asshole...”

yeah, looks like they got the two tone seats to go with the exterior without realizing the donor car had a tan interior, then said “fuck it” and installed them. Not exactly an inverted jenny situation and not a great sign for what’s being presented as a “rare collectible”

You lost me at kith *photo of jerry seinfeld “dripped out” in hypebeast nonsense*

Easing us into hp blue being on the car all over the place and clashing with everything else...

i because apple uses it in their product names so “i” became synonymous with “high tech”

The spins and crashes were infinitely more interesting than cars parked on track because they couldn’t tell if a car was stricken (ok to pass under yellow) or not.

at this point you’d think contrived rarity would almost be a negative on listings like this

yep, my mind immediately went to the 138th episode spectacular commercial break “trivia question”

I will concede that it’s a notch above deaths in superhero content (looking at you invincible), where the writers want to keep using the character so they come back or didn’t really die after all...

the only decent article i’ve read is about how the writers plow over one of the darker moments in the show’s history (homer learning the guy wanted to be part of the gang at moe’s and they were too oblivious/self centered to realize it) with the rest of the episode being a goofy adventure to find his treasure or…

confusing fashion designer rachel roy with rachel ray and sending the cooking show host threats was a high water mark for them

The only time i’ve seen paul tracy be not obnoxious was coming out of the medical center at vegas 2011. He was visibly shaken and it was a big indicator that things with wheldon were extremely serious

Swift cultivated plenty of this herself by playing up the underdog angle for the first decade of her career despite being a 2-time genetic lottery winner by being skinny-blonde “traditionally beautiful” and being born into wealth. Got to near aaron rodgers levels of “everyone’s doubting me”, despite what ticket, album…

my favorite was right-wingers playing both sides on sound of freedom. It had high ticket sales because activist groups were buying large quantities of tickets to give away=we’re #1, but it was also left wing suppression that actual theaters were mostly empty when people went to see the movie

I get the praise for wiig but i felt like she had two modes on snl: loud-mouth midwestener and damaged, detatched old hollywood-style actress
