Can I just chime in to point 0ut that Brad Garret is absolutely the best thing discovered in Everyone loces Raymond and truly a great comedian and comedic actor?I had to just pop up like this, bc I’m forever in thegrays and no0 one would see this if I just posted it in the comments.

Three reasons you might not have heard any of this before:

I can’t think of a single daytime person more powerful than Ellen, except for Oprah.

No one says anything because their careers are at stake — even after they leave the show if they remain in the field. But, also, we do not know that no one said anything; they may have tried and been disbelieved or counseled to ‘get over it.’ A lot of us don’t trust our own intuition over those who wield more power…

And make it a federal holiday. 

I think the police chose this method by design. Their intent was to terrorize protesters and then gaslight them by saying, “No, you didn’t see what you just saw! She was a criminal and this was a legal arrest!” It is in keeping with their abusive nature and terror tactics.

Good for you for breaking the chain! As in your case, my mother’s main concern was how her children were measuring up and impacting her reputation. And it’s still true, today. We have just learned not to internalise her vast disappointment as an accurate reflection of our self-worth. But certainly we did at age eight.

Very much. It only gets harder to control them as they age. But narcissists believe it is for the best because their children aren’t separate beings. So, that leads to more controlling and manipulative behavior over time.

My kid is almost 4.  There is really no “controlling” her.  The few times my parents have spent…

To be fair, many narcissists adore and dote on their children — until the children have a mind of their own and an opinion to express. Around age three. And then all bets are off (especially for the same-gender child).

Kylie’s obsession with spoiling her daughter reminds me of a quote from Frances Ha:

Because to them an animal is just another thing to be owned.

I mean, you do you.  But don’t say it like it makes you a better person than her.  In fact, it sounds like the opposite.

It sounds like there were a lot of people stepping up together to de-escalate the situation and protect the restaurant workers and didn’t realize he was armed. Idk, not gonna knock people for trying to protect service industry workers from assholes.

We all know racism exists at all levels and segments of global society, but for that Italian gymnast to tell international media “maybe we should paint our skin black to win a medal too” still shocked me. And it shouldn’t. My sister-in-law/friend since high school is half Mexican, but she has blond hair, light skin,…

The New York Times’s 1619 Project is a racially divisive, revisionist account of history that denies the noble principles of freedom and equality on which our nation was founded.

The message from AOC was clear. Men like Yoho will be addressed. Their behavior will be made clear to those who weren’t there to hear the comments. Men will not get off the hook by using the women in their lives, as if having females in the family makes them woke. I’m rambling a bit because this was emotional for me.…

I wish I had a more eloquent, reserved, or intellectual response to this. Alas.

YAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSS fuck that fucking non-apology and the misogynist brain whence it came.

“I have a wife and some kids who are girls” needs to die the same death that “I have a black friend” did.
