But for many the story is that the republicans held the WH, Senate, and House, and yet couldn’t pass a budget.

Aw, good for the Millennials to have their own younger generation to think are stupid and over-parented! Welcome to the club!

This is where we are as a society. We’re so bored we’re eating laundry soap for attention.

Ding. Ding. Ding. It wasn’t a dig at Faye, except for people who can only imagine anything said by a successful woman about another successful woman must be a dig because, bitches.

I have been speaking openly about money in my social circles for a while now, because it’s a feminist issue in the way you describe. And people keep telling me it’s not polite. Sigh.  

There’s a pretty significant difference between bragging about how rich you are and being open about what you get paid, how you negotiated for it, etc.

I feel like you’re missing the point. The comment came from respect. She named someone she feels should have all the power and money she can handle. She isn’t calling out Dunaway she’s calling out a patriarchal power structure that has left one of the greatest actors of her generation without any real financial or…

I think she’s trashing the industry for not paying Faye enough, not Faye herself. I’m sure Ellen was at Whole Foods and saw Faye in her Prius and was like “fuck this industry!” Even though Faye probably likes her Prius. She should’ve left Faye’s name out of this, but I don’t think Ellen is wrong about the industry…

I didn’t see it as a dig, quite the opposite. Faye Dunaway is a fucking legend but she doesn’t have the economic power to match, and the only explanation for that is sexism.

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…

Hannah Arendt has a good piece on this and she frames it in regards to the Holocaust. It’s not forgiveness in the sense of just letting people off the hook or forgetting, but in the sense that it takes some letting go in order to live your own life. I think Korean vengeance movies explore it pretty well also

I hate it when people do this. “I had a bad experience with a dog when I was five, so I can never be around them again.” “My dad forced me to go in the pool before I was ready, so water is a no go for the rest of my life.” “A masked gorilla scared me at Halloween as a toddler, so to this day I keep trick-or-treaters…

Why would ANYONE want to marry someone who can dispose of a lifetime commitment when it becomes inconvenient for someone else?

Lemon is the best Starbust.

Dolt 45’s base wouldn’t give a moist fart about him cheating on Melania. They’d be all “YEAH, HE FUCKED A PORNSTAR.! THAT’S A REAL MAN’S MAN!!!”

Women should all start going around with a super large, wild-eyed smile on their face at all times, for no reason. See what the men think of that. Maybe for the first time ever they’d start telling us to *stop* smiling.

DC dating is...oof. So many white lawyers with commitment issues. SO MANY!

These brave women, wearing black beautiful dresses.

Real typed out feedback or criticism is something I’ve always been glad to give, but it’s never expected. What my comment was about, was things like ‘likes’ - among the younger set (or the less secure in general), getting or not getting likes is taken as tacit acceptance or critique and becomes habitual. So after a…
