I found out about this from my dad. After having dinner with him, he sent me and my sister a text saying he loves us and not to go anywhere alone for the next few days.

Damn, ol’ Ric’s looking good! (He was my 7th and 8th grade Social Studies teacher.)

I dunno, I think he would just end up like his dad. His dad says that same stuff to himself all the time but he still seems like a nice guy. He seems like he holds doors for strangers and sponsors little league teams or other generic nice person things. So wouldn’t worry about it. I can see it going really well…

Whoa! Imma stop you right there. This is a cute post, don’t be THAT person.

A little horse is NOT a pony.

She is not. Sociopathy is not a mental illness. She lacks the ability to empathize. No amount of medication or treatment can instill empathy; unless you just want to drug her into apathy/compliance. The best we can do is keep her away from people.

Ugh, it just goes on and on with him. I’ve never forgotten Téa Leoni’s stories from the horror that the Bad Boys set was for her.

Real talk: no one deserves to be objectified and body shamed, regardless of their banshee status.

I know this wasn’t your intention but I would love nothing more than to be described as a “nasty banshee” by some folks

Part of the reason movies like that work in China is because they are visually comprehensive - for instance, take the Hangover. If you didn’t really understand English or US culture, how much of that movie makes sense to you? But everyone can understand watching one robot beating up another robot.

So long as we’re talking Michael Bay horror stories, his treatment of Kate Beckinsale was pretty bloody awful. When he hired her for Pearl Harbor, he did so only on the condition that she lose weight and get a personal trainer despite the fact that she’d just given birth to her daughter. Then he made comments…

She didn’t leave, she was fired. I was SO Team Megan Fox when Megan Fox was a thing. Not saying she was a great actress or anything, but she was one of the first I noticed explicitly calling out the disgusting misogyny of Hollywood’s power system. I also noticed how quickly they blackballed her and destroyed her…

Why do you need Oil Drillers to learn to go into space when you can teach Astronauts how to do it?

MICHAEL BAY. He does this all the time as auditions: he made one female lead come over to his home and wash his car while he watched, and he drove another out into the dessert in skimpy clothes, and watched her walk and sweat in the heat. A few women have disclosed their experiences publicly.

I’ve seen The Color Purple multiple times and even I forgot Steven Spielberg directed that one. It’s so closely associated with Whoopi Goldberg and Oprah Winfrey and blackness in general that the white director kinda gets forgotten, at least in the circles I’m in.

She works for an Internet blog, not a brick-and-mortar blog.

Maddie, could you please dismiss Locomotive Jones? In addition to his standard ttoll bullshit, he seems to be doxxing someone who offended his tender sensibilities.

This is the perfect encapsulation of everything wrong in the general population right now.

You’ve clearly never heard the ridiculous conspiracy theories that she’s actually 45, which is what I was making fun of.
