what does recognizing or naming someone in a pic taken in a public place, or extrapolating on that recognition from the subject’s own public social media, have to do with denying free speech? There’s a straw man if I ever saw one.

thank you - agree. That looks premeditated as fuck to me.... he knew damned well he was driving toward a sea of human bodies and he had minimum 2 blocks at reasonable speed to choose to stop... he did not. It’s 1st degree.

a) what ‘principle’ exactly? The one I see is don’t cry foul over half a story - there is no way to know that a cash tip was not left

this... jeeezuz. What is that bill - lunch? 2 drinks? Zero interest in defending K or anyone else, but in this case the establishment is a full dick for ever posting that. Tiny bill, a million possibilities and wow... crying righteous over $5.

my pleasure and yes, Brett hit that timing where only ‘some’ of your stuff got online. I could be wrong about her character’s name... it was an imaginary Hulk-like entity that sprang to life in the presence of mansplainers (which we didn’t have a name for then) and basic sexists. It was awesome.

hearing you. Brett Butler used to do this great character in her standup routine (we’re talking 80's I think)... ‘the avenger’. If you can find any clips they might prove a balm to that rage. My memories of her do.

backtracking... you could be right, she apologized but did NOT admit to lying... I got that wrong. On reflection, and at a character level... does it really matter if the grotesque-and-fully-unnecessary-and-completely-indiscreet thing she said, that threw another woman garishly under a bus, all because Brandi got her…

you’re right, still, I’m more than a little pleased that BG had to admit ‘settlement style’ (i.e. fully and without bullshit) that she flat out lied about a thing like that. BG either has a mouth problem (as in, loses control) or some kind of drug/alcohol problem (as in, loses control) - the unreal trash that comes…

what we know is that there is a very thin and implausible assertion that some kind of PA blew a whistle. Which is a very thin albeit new spin on the show scripting specific moral-outrage attention. Not unlike when they trussed Kaitlyn up for some serious slut shaming. They set it up, don’t want to look like the…

Love your handle here, and perfectly gif’d. I see this whole thing as the ‘next level down’ in the show ‘scripting’ drama. They stuck their toes in the water by serving up Kaitlyn as a slut-for-the-judging, this time they’ve upped their playing to stereotypes by crossing a young white woman with a dangerous and…

I saw cloth bus seats and immediately became terrified... of bedbugs.

it must have ended up in the same place as the memo about how it ceased to be about him on any level when he outed himself as a douchebag. He clearly didn’t get that one either.

I take it that whatever love he has for offspring, Jamie know his firstborn was an asshole. Hard to argue anyone hating the little shit.

Empathy .... as a childless person nothing infuriates/boggles me more than catching myself giving a larger shit about children and their futures, than their own parents do. Fury being for the lack of shit given, not for doing more than my share.

juuuust missed it. You jumped the shark with the hyperbole, putting your comment in the same field as your judgement. Otherwise you’re right - the use of ‘snowflake’ did diminish the comment.

wow - I listened - that’s super sad. His kids were really hurt. Christie, as the adult responsible for both the ban and his violation of it, should really stop hurting his children that way. (did he somehow expect to come off as *less* of a dick by actually whining about the public pointing out his dictatorial…

Didn’t this whole shitshow get started on the back of conflating reality television with public service at the highest level? How about less of that?

the ‘you’ in that one was meant for general thinkers, not specific to what you said - apologies, looks like it came off opposite.

not bad, but don’t be coddled - being too mediocre to make the top 10 worst list is not vindicating on any level.

Perhaps I’m just old, but I’m already going to remember this lady as a great artist who was also a difficult, melodramatic narcissist. The whole thing with her sister, and a dozen other anecdotes suggest our gal to be a real piece of work. I’m wide open to the possibility that every other ‘star’ in her era was…
