I’m willing to accept that an 85 year old might not know all the ins and outs of a Twitter controversy.

Seriously, there is something cosmically wrong with Samantha Whateverhernameis.

My Mom considers herself an only child even though she also has a much older half-brother from a shared father. Her half-brother was 13-14 when she was born, and he left when she was 3. He never stayed in touch with the family and he is a total stranger to her. I do not believe they ever met again after she was 3…

I think her mom is good. But yeah, everyone else sounds pretty awful. 

Her statement blaming herself feels like textbook “battered woman syndrome”. It looks like the reaction of someone who was being coached or “persuaded” to offer a differing narrative.

The lawyer’s statement is misleading. Grabbing a phone is not the same as initiating physical force. At most the texts say she denies he strangled her. But the texts suggest the injuries do exist. The question is how did she get these injuries? Also where are the written statements recanting? The lawyer’s posturing…

Long before I had any idea what an evil wingnut this woman was - my aunt gave me her diet book...

And nothing of value was lost.

Chris Rock is a horrible human being. Will Smith was wrong, but that doesn’t make Chris Rock right.

The article also references 1997 when Rock made fun of Jada for attending the Million Women March in Philadelphia or as Rock puts it, “Bitches by the Bell.” You know, you can condemn violence and Chris Rock being corny. Only in cartoons and fairy tales does one person have to be good because the other one is bad.

Exactly - there’s nothing ugly or wrong with going bald in and of itself, but we can happily make fun of him obviously thinking it’s a bad thing and lying about it in such a ridiculous way.

“Frankly, I can’t think of anyone more deserving of losing all of their hair by age 36.”

I agree—baldness happens. But it’s fun to mock when it happens to a man who clearly tried to frame it as a mascbro choice when he likely secretly wishes he had a full mane (which is why he posted on twitter about having a full head of hair, when he clearly doesn’t in the first place).

Quite the bald-faced lie, and then some.

Saraswati liked to appear on Faux News and thus, indirectly* helped them with their mission in destroying the lives of anyone not white, male, straight and wealthy.

Another quick test seems to be “Is your name Rachel?”

When I was a system operator on a bbs in the 1990s, we had this happen all the time. The people who faked their deaths weren’t even good at it except for the guy who paid for his obituary to be placed in his local newspaper. 

“I told them that she is dead to the indie world, the internet, because we had to stop her, period,” Troy Meachen told the Times, adding that the feedback Meachen had received for her writing in these spaces was “really brutal.” He explained that his wife’s “addiction” (her words) to the online romance community and…

Her psychiatrist talked to the times? I mean, even with client consent, that seems pretty weird. I work in mental health and if a newspaper reached out to me to confirm anyone as a client or any details of their care, diagnosis, or anything else, I wouldn’t do it even if the client gave consent. The idea of it just…

‘Bout damn time. Now for all the rest of them.
