So beautiful, indeed, AND loaned from the Queen Mother’s personal collection, no less! <3

So. Damn. Good.

That totes fixed it! Thanks!

It did use a traditional “shape” of a sitcom at the time, but it was calling out / making fun of the attitudes of people like Archie Bunker, not glorifying them.

Agreed, and YES and it’s been driving me crazy but I’ve been too lazy to look it up.

“Plus, this skull-cap works like an invisibility cloak!”

From the Post: “Schlossberg had been using a business center in 275 Madison Ave. as an office address for his private law firm — but has been given the boot over the shocking video that went viral Wednesday.”

Fair point.

Well, kinda. The owner apparently didn’t even see it happen—the cops did, and acted on their own.

Half-win, though?

THIS.

Also people in TV and movies are forever carrying empty boxes around, even when they’re doing a scene about moving, and the box is big.

You have to actually USE your arms to lift a box that big that is not full of packing peanuts, people!

I KNOW!

Frankly, it gives me the creeps that neither of them really gives me the creeps wearing each other’s hair-statements.

I read in a couple of places that was the last guitar he ever played, as well. Any knowledge about that? That plus the Unplugged session would make it super valuable, right?

Ugh! And they were only married for 21 months, too!

On the bright side, he doesn’t get the $300,000 (!) per year in spousal support he asked for, and has to pay all his legal bills, which is two years’ worth of billable hours. Fingers crossed she gets it back.

He’s worked on over a hundred political campaigns in something like 42 states, which is why I think he’s just SO freaking savvy in his rhythms of what he hints at and then releases in what order, and what kinds of “goads” he uses, and what he restrains.

I had the thought the other night that he might have chosen THIS…

No, I don’t.

However, the American Bar Association doesn’t let everyone just “choose” whether contingency is an option. It’s not a free-for-all. For instance, most jurisdictions disallow contingency for criminal defense and family law.

Additionally, each state further regulates how contingency works. For example,…

ETA: the case in question *started* as one surgeon suing Kimberly Clark for $500 million and *ended* as a class action lawsuit settled at $433 million.

The “class” in this particular case ended up being about 400 hospitals and health centers, so in THIS case, (after attorney and court fees, of course) this…

Well, perhaps.

But the other thing class action lawsuits, in my admittedly limited experience, do are:

1. Take money AWAY from the offending corporation (aka Sticking It To The Man)

Maybe I’m “believing the hype” about this guy (because OOOOOOH how I want him to take Donny Two-Scoops down), but I read up on Avenatti a good bit one day. Admittedly, I don’t know anything about his finances, but he won the largest settlement in California last year, in a class-action lawsuit against a major…

Me, too. I’m sorry.

Sometimes I don’t know if it’s better to come here, to this sort-of echo chamber of mostly sane people who also see how nuts the world is right now, or to stay away, because...well, the truth is fucking awful.

Hugs.

Same. SMDH.
