It was not behind closed doors. He was at work. Virtually, yes. But, At Work. The double standard is ridiculous. Women have been fired, punished and shamed for breast feeding, showing cleavage, wearing the wrong length of skirts/dresses, accidentally “revealing” they do in fact menstruate, runs in their hosiery…

They’re going to have to start adding new disorders to that big book of psychiatric stuff to explain what the ever-living fuck is happening inside these people’s heads. It’s a combination of conspiracy paranoia/narcissism + a bizarre form on contrarianism (gov and media say the sky is blue -- I say it’s green because…

When you decide as a matter of principle that it’s impossible for you to be wrong or do anything wrong, it’s very easy to simply dismiss any thoughts that conflict with that hypothesis.

I mean, to be fair, Ron hates everyone, including and especially himself. This is just this week’s winner.

They’re pretty confident they have finally stacked the courts with enough Federalist Society scum and they’re going for broke, that much is plain to see.

I agree that this entire thing seems silly. Naomi Osaka’s job is to play tennis and win. Everything she does is done with that goal in mind, and that is what she gets paid to do by tournaments and sponsors. It’s not her job to make sure there’s plenty of fodder for gasbag pundits and stenographers to witter on about…

“SHUT UP AND PLAY SPORTS.”

Probably, although maybe it’s one of those situations where Ellen was telling Courtney, “Oh, yeah, we have the closing next month and then I’m going to have to find something short term but, you know, such a hassle,” and Courtney was like, “Oh my gosh, don’t do that. My house has, like, ten bedrooms. You can have the…

I don’t know if it’s clear that she’s staying in the same house as Courtney, at the same time, or if she’s just staying in Courtney’s house, and she might have more than one, or is currently somewhere else.

Totally, but also, maybe they want to spend some times with friends. I’m sure Courtney has plenty of room. No one is sleeping on the couch or waiting in line for the bathroom.

The whole point of having multiple properties is to rent them out so you can make money off them, not have them laying around empty while you lose money paying maintenance. 

I thought Ellen and Portia famously had like a shit ton of property? I don’t understand why either would have to use Courtney Cox’s guest room.

From the AP:

I don’t get it either.  And yeah, they obviously are probably are part of a gang.  They almost killed someone to steal dogs for a value of like $12K.  Who is surprised these people are probably in a gang?

not to be ignorant, but I don’t get what you’re saying. That it isn’t gang related just because it could be propaganda used to justify anti-BLM sentiment?

I would not be surprised to read that about you. 

Her privilege is why she should keep her mouth shut and I am glad she was vague.

Re: the label making her do press. Yes, exactly. And even Beyoncé had to work her way up to achieving the level of fame and success that allowed her the ability to refuse to do interviews. She didn’t start there, and plenty of otherwise successful artists never get to that level.

Honestly, I had the same response. It kinda seems like maybe St. Vincent & Madden just didn’t hit it off, and so the interview ended up just striking the tone of awkward small talk with a nosy co-worker.

Yeah this is kind of my takeaway too - even the excerpt used in this article is super weird. It seems like the author was trying to bait her into giving quotes about political issues she didn’t really want to comment on and wouldn’t take no for an answer. I get that it’s your job as a journalist to get juicy quotes…
