These kids today are amateurs. The fastest big star journey from courtship to marriage to divorce in Hollywood was in 1964: Ethel Merman (her 4th) and Ernest Borgnine (his 3rd). They were both already huge stars and she was 56; he was 47 (both old enough to have known better and not been so impulsive).

...all that talent didn’t magically dissipate after the reveal.

I agree and I think that part of the problem is the delusional perceptions people cherish about creativity. We want to believe that talent is magic, rather than something that grows and develops and matures with experience. We’d rather hire a 19 y/o magically writing like a seasoned 32 y/o, than an actual 32 y/o with…

I can respect the hustle as well. If they couldn’t tell the difference between real teen writing and fake teen writing, then did it really matter if she was actually 32?

That Vogue piece was some bizarre word salad.

That is accurate:

You can do that and much, much more just by taking a job in Washington DC. Have you ever wished you could LIE, and I mean boldy LIE and then question anyone for not believing you? You can!

If only. I had NO idea we had such a narrow definition of treason until this regime came in.

Im forever stuck in the greys so no one will even see this but... valid.

That’s been happening to me for quite awhile. It’s really frustrating, because it basically makes it impossible to read pending comments if they aren’t direct replies to you.

And the minute his people try to shove his nose in the shit (and usually very gently), he bites them. But they always back down and come back for more from him. It’s the craziest circle jerk ever and it’s happening in front of the world.

They will absolutely say that.

Ha, ha, see guys? I totally didn’t commit treason on live TV.

Off topic but how the hell is the comment system supposed to work?

I think he learned a valuable lesson, tbh.

I felt like dancing on the moon. And I tried!

Every time I see Dump’s worshipers doubling down I wonder how they can be so blind, then remind myself that humans fall for charisma like they fall for nothing else. The person they drool over can fuck up, lie, cheat, steal and murder and they  will make any and every excuse for him/her.

not at all, she’s just off this weekend! 

I got into them about 10 years ago. Radio got too repetitive, so I tried it out and have been hooked ever since. I found that the rule is, if my mind wanders too much at the beginning of the book, I gong it. What you want is a book that is so good that when you get home you sit out in front of your house listening to…
