I feel like you are being deliberately obtuse. Proposals to get people into jobs in places where they generally don’t go to take them is a good one. Debt free education is almost certainly (duh) not to be limited to welders. And, if you are so inclined as a journalist, reach out to the obscene number of people who got…

Leen Dweik seems nice.

“Man, This Is Some Racist Shit To Do In An Amateur Hockey Game”

The retroactive blaming of Al Gore for SCOTUS refusing Florida to count it’s votes is infuriating. Like I get that “Al Gore, weak, limp-wristed liberal lanyard” was a popular image among the GOP (and Maureen Dowd) in 2000, but it sucks that people on the left decided to take it up, too.

Um, you can drag Al Gore for being stuffy, for being unwilling to own the successes of the Clinton era, and for being so moderate that Ralph Nader got a significant fraction of the Democratic vote. But let’s make sure we don’t criticize him for losing. Because he actually won. The Supreme Court intervened in the…

So I just got back from a visit to our PR firm and then my acting coach.

It’s interesting that the discussions about her youth seem to strip her of basically any autonomy. She clearly has quite a bit outside of her parents’ interest in having her go to school; she hustles with this brand stuff and instagram, which is obviously her idea of a job. She’s not a child incapable of making her…

This...

I’d be there with you buttttttt - she knew she didn’t wanna go and had to have known she was unqualified, but she has been enjoying the spoils of everything that came with this deception, including these sponsorships that came with it. If I had gotten into a school I had no business being in, I would have kept my head…

I haven’t seen anyone else named in the media.  I will gladly mock all the other parents and kids.

You go right on ahead and feel bad for her. I’ll be over here figuring out how to keep my bipolar 15 year old alive and hoping against hope that our insurance continues to pay for her new $1000+/month medication. I have no fucking energy to care about some attractive 18 year old with obscenely rich parents. Fuck that.…

My complaint has to do with the fact that getting a full-time media job is hard enough as it is without HamNo telling you to quit it.

But what if I want to be a bootlicker to writers I like????

She could have, like, gotten a job or something to escape her terrible controlling parents.

Call me old-fashioned, but I find the word ‘influencer’ to be unnecessary when we already had the word ‘shill’, which was a perfectly good word for the exact same thing.

I taught undergraduates at a modest state school in the southeast.

I can’t really muster sympathy. I don’t wish, like, death or whatever on her because it sounds like she was kind of a dupe rather than a perpetrator. But, most of us* learn painfully that decisions have consequential outcomes, and that usually happens a lot younger than she is now. She’s just been insulated from the…

You’re acting like this is the only thing Jack has ever done that is plainly awful.

In a just world? She gets fired. Her daughter get kicked out of USC and loses her sponsors on IG.

It's almost like trolls weren't the reason for the commenter purge or something...
