I mean... or we could refer to Anne Wojcicki’s own (not insignificant) accomplishments like 23andme and not treat her like another man’s former property. Please and thank you.

I would like to be hired as a writer for this show. It will be glorious. I’ll start each day with a bottle of whiskey, and then just open a dictionary and point to words all day until it’s time to go home.

As a Latin teacher, I have only one reaction to gross Uncle/Papa Terry bequeathing these august names to his progeny:

That’s fun. He blames his wife’s success and “breadwinning” for driving him to do it, but then uses her financial dependence on him as a reason for a shorter jail sentence? Totally makes sense. I bet this guy is a meninist.

It would come across really wacko and boundary-crossing to text someone commenting on their health and telling them they’re no longer a friend and to stay away when they’d already emailed you telling you that they were ending the friendship.

I agree about that text. There’s so much misogyny in it. She never would have said a thing to a stay at home mom, “ultimate contributors to society” — patriarchy strikes again.

Nope.

I disagree. Sometimes, you don’t realize how toxic a person was for you until you get some time and distance. 25 years ago, one of my best friends and I had a massive falling out. She cut contact with me - because SHE had done something awful and then she got upset that I dared to be angry about the thing she did.

This is prejudiced and untrue. You should re-examine your attitudes about mental illness. Also, maybe consider the fact that people with those disorders use the internet too, and are likely to see comments like this and feel even more deflated and hopeless than they already do.

I support you in this. I think I’m in the process of ghosting my best friend of 20 years, even though I am anti-ghosting. There are things that I just can’t deal with any more. I don’t feel like she respects my time or me as a person. I feel like she only calls me when she is stuck in traffic. She has a history about…

Sorry about your shitty ex-friend and your illness. Hope you’re feeling okay!

There are really no good scripts for how friendships end.

My ‘spiritual’ friend dumped me when I got chronically ill. Because it says so in The Secret, you shouldn’t consort with sick people because it will attract more sickness. Some spiritual people are sick in the head. Namaste cuntface!

I think friendship endings are really hard-sorry you had to go through that, Brook! I always cling to friendships long after it’s clear that the other friend is starting to drift away. So I think your ability to more immediately recognize the toxicity of this particular relationship (and let it go) is admirable!

Chris Brown is long past being given the benefit of doubt when it comes to abusing women and what he considers effeminate men. He was lucky to be able to hang on to his career. What will be the last straw? When he finally kills someone?

Yeah, it’s not like the “take a penny, leave a penny” tray at 7-11.

Sause was open to having children of her own. According to Jaquiss, Sause felt it would make up for the life she took while driving drunk in 2004

Rich people. They literally created a problem from nothing.
