While Flake isn’t wrong (on this particular issue), I think he’s trying to position himself for a presidential run. He’s ingratiating himself with the press and trying to come off as the reasonable adult in the room to establishment and moneyed GOP donors. Too bad it’s too little, too late for the republic.

Someone who was ACTUALLY THIS SCARED of Donald Trump would find a way in a 51/49 senate to fuck his, and by extension his enabling party’s, bizness up. That Flake is unwilling to do this in any meaningful way means that he is just grandstanding for future historians. Thanks alot buddy, but America could use your help,…

Could have still been the writer’s conclusion. But even if it comes from her, it’s her experience and with a mother who died from an overdose, it sure doesn’t sound easy. I come from the most boring suburb you can imagine, yet my family story reads like pure white trash. I’ve seen sides of that town that most of my…

Mmmmmm maybe we let her define her own upbringing? Apparently her mom died of an overdose whenever she was very young, and grew up with a bunch of siblings raised by her Dad and grandparents. She’s fairly skilled at selecting words to well represent her experience in other domains; maybe just trust her?

fuck “class”. she’s trying to make real change in the industry. expecting women to be “classy” while they work hard at things is just another way of policing them.

She’s not dragging Faye, but rather pointing out how dispossable women are in Hollywood. Faye was huge in the late-60s/70s, was in films that made money, had massive critical acclaim, and an Oscar to boot. Then, she made two films that flopped, and her career was dead. She has tried resurrecting it - even going over…

Fuck yes, and she is right too! Shonda must have had her back this go round, since Ellen said her loyalty was rewarded. Go Shonda and go Ellen! Get yours, cause you know the guys are all taking care of each other.

OMG. Now this is the kind of honesty and speaking truth to power that gets the power structure where it really feels it: in the wallet.

People like Lauer are manipulative and calculating. He probably did everything to make sure he didn’t pull his sleaze in front of Katie, since she was his superior.

I’m not going to insist Couric is telling the truth, but I think it is relevant to note that, like you said, Couric was one of the few women who had seniority over Lauer. Additionally, when Lauer came on as her co-host, her husband was dying of cancer, and then she was raising two small kids in the aftermath of his…

That was some THINGS TO SAY. I’m not even ashamed to say that I’ve seen every since episode (many multiple times) even the crappy seasons.

Sure, Millie Bobby Brown is not yet 14, but let’s immediately toss her into the slimepit of gossip as it relates to women celebrities. Stay tuned for such prurient classics as: “Is she still a virgin?” “Will she marry him?” “Are they breaking up?” “Has post-breakup Millie become a skank?”... and on and on and on.

But I can say that I would be surprised if many women did not understand that there was a climate of verbal harassment that existed [at the Today Show]. It was verbal sexual harassment.”

I want nothing so much as to go to brunch with Ann Curry. A pitcher of Bloody Marys and a fuckton of gossip. Please and thank you.

PHILISTINE!

What’s a clark bar?

The Butterfinger makes perfect sense. You probably hate the Clark bar, too, you Philistine.

I don’t know if they’ve gotten worse or my taste buds have matured, but any time in recent years I’ve eaten a Kit Kat, Reese’s, Snickers, Hershey Bar and so, they just taste waxy and sugary. And I used to inhale the stuff in October and November.

Nestle and Ferrero are among the biggest palm oil giants. Destroying rainforests, habitats for dozens of species, not to mention stomping on indigenous family farmers and handing machetes to 8 year-olds to work in inhumane conditions. Want a real chiller? Listen to the Nestle CEO talk on YouTube about water as a human…

I thought you meant they were literally unloading Butterfingers and Baby Ruths. I clicked the article to find out where. Now I’m disappointed and hungry.
