This is a shrewd PR move by Biles and Raisman. Like it or not, the settlement does NOT come “with a terrible catch”; it comes with the “catch” of all settlements - you won’t sue me again for the very same facts. I’m not in any way commenting on the merits of the settlement. But in large scale, multi-plaintiff suits,…

I have no problem with enforcing the law.
what’s the most powerful nation in the world?
Looks like your mom did a mighty good job raising the three of you.
Dearest mjforty,
When I got engaged my mom always lectured me in front of my fiance that he was going to be “the head of the household” by virtue of having a penis. We’d just share a knowing glance and laugh. Now I use it against him though. Can’t decide what restaurant to go to? Oh honey, you have to pick because you’re the head of…
To be loved as a musician by a teenage girl is to be accepted completely. Every other love you will have as a musician comes with strings attached. You can never “sell out” or change the direction you want to go musically, or all of your fans will leave you en masse. Or grow to hate you. Not so, teenage girls. When…
She called her sister a r*tard..
Sorry to double reply but I’ve been thinking of this all day.
The biggest fight my kids have ever gotten into was over which hogwarts house our 3 dogs would belong in.
LOL I am friends with several judges in my area and this makes me giggle a lot. it’s incredibly true and scary, but my friends who are judges are just super uber dorks for the most part.
One thing to note (I’m worked on government ethics before) — the comment about “appearances” isn’t just about PR concerns but actually could signal they’re looking into two different kinds of ethics violations by Pruitt.
“Hah! Amateurs,” said Matt Lauer.
You know, I’ve been beaten into submission with this family. They’re problematic and totally miss the point. But I don’t hate them. I don’t buy their products but I do occasionally watch an episode when there’s nothing else on. I don’t find myself overly attaching to any of them. But I do read the goss. I just…
My favorite tweet about this (for some reason it won’t let me upload a screenshot, I don’t know what I’m doing wrong):
I’ve worked with people who believe Jesus talked to them and new age people who believe spirit guides speak to them, and they all used their faith as a cudgel to control others and justify saying cruel stuff to people. One was bad enough I had to complain to management and ask that we never work together. I think she…
Absolutely not to be missed: The Madness of Lord Ian MacKenzie, by Jennifer Ashley (https://www.amazon.com/Madness-Lord-Mackenzie-Mackenzies-Book-ebook/dp/B004RKXHTK/ref=cm_cr_srp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8). The voice actor for the Audible version is incredible too, and she also reads the books for each of Ian’s three…
god damnit WHAT CAN I ENJOY ETHICALLY?!?!?! The NFL? FUCK NO. Christian Slater? Apparently not. Quentin Tarantino movies? Super duper good buddy of Weinstein.
If you haven’t yet read it, I highly recommend the book “Furious Love,” which is about the Taylor/Burton relationship. It’s fascinating.
I was going to be that person too.
