when I was a senior in high school, I did a miss america preliminary pageant for the scholarship money (I was heading to college the next year and thought I could use it for textbooks) and won. huge mistake. practically everyone talked like this, women included. the day after I won I met my female director who…

Living in the Sarasota Florida area I’m quite familiar with the Ringling Brothers. I think their rise to fame and money and then blowing it all on bad art and gaudy mansions would be more interesting.

This and the US gymnastics sex abuse are the latest examples of why I give the side eye to organizations that are for and comprised of women but have men in most positions of power.

Oh my God. The monocle. The money bag. I love this person so much. This is just delightful.

My vote goes to Amanda Werner for trolling the Equifax Senate hearing dressed as the Monopoly dude.

I thought I was the only one who had “Oh my God I’m gonna die all the time” anxiety. I’m glad I’m not alone.

I’m glad people are on medication. I do think people can be wrongly prescribed (too many meds or the wrong ones); the path to taking holistic care of your mind and body involves a lot of factors (eating well, exercise, self-care, new thinking strategies, etc.). But I cringe when I hear people poo-poo medication.…

When I first started taking anti anxiety pills, it was like a curtain was lifted into my real life.

Indeed. I started on 20 mg citalopram (generic name for Celexa) approximately one year ago, and it is the best decision I’ve ever made for myself. Thank you science, for giving me myself again.

No, it doesn’t make me sad, it makes me constantly elated and in love with modern science that has produced such a miracle! No more throwing myself against a random building as i walk home because suddenly the sadness of the universe is too much to bear and I’m sobbing....I still get sad and mad and all the other…

How many people do yo think are on medication for anxiety and depression? It feels like everyone. Does that make anyone else sad?

The Grimaldis show the true face of royalty/aristocracy: just a bunch of white trash living large off of the money of the people with absolutely no taste or sense. It’s why other royals hate them. They ruin the brand.

Exactly. Clooney - or any one of us — could be criticized for spending one penny more than is necessary for survival because that money could have gone to charity.

Yeah, I didn’t get that either, and I sort of don’t get some of the responses that are being critical by saying that giving $14 million to your friends is taking it away from a charity. Huh? It’s not taking it away if it wasn’t theirs to begin with. It’s Clooney’s money to distribute as he sees fit, otherwise where…

Ok I would totally do this if I had that kind of money (minus the ridiculous suitcases and $20 dollar bills). Does that make me a terrible person? I’m pretty sure he donates a fair amount to charity as well and he has more money than he can spend, so it’s not like this is taking away from charity donations or…

As someone with both a rich retail background and an established non-profit career, this is a bit of a straw man argument. Clothing needs are perennial; the problem is when donors mindlessly pour in donations during disasters, or only ever call the same five mega-charities to donate something. Many charities with…

her husband could cure cancer and he’d still be todd from breaking bad to me

I am quite certain that these people probably never went out of their way to vote before. The nice thing about being rich in America (and most places) is that you can be fairly certain that no matter who is in power your interests will be protected. Moreover, the real way to influence policy is to be liberal with…

I still don’t understand why, of all the major network morning shows, CBS This Morning does not lead by a wide margin. It at least has more “real” and “serious” coverage than either of the other two. I don’t want to hear about celebrity gossip or crappy food ideas.

So the Trumps being bad at voting is one of those non-scandal scandals that doesn’t really affect policy in any way, and yet, it still manages to be an indictment of our eroding society in way that Obama’s “comparable” scandals weren’t (i.e. spicy mustard, tan suit, bowing to a robot). The first family not knowing how…
