i disagree aggressively with the contention that ivanka has ever worked hard at anything in her life

Step 1: Be born rich to a man who was born rich.

I like the concept of debt forgiveness for non-profit or governmental work. I graduated with a fairly small amount of college debt (20k or so). Where this makes me feel a bit off is that I had to work all the way through school. I’m sure there was some dipshit partying the whole way through school and racking up…

God, exactly. If your kid has zero interest in academia, do something else. She’d have been perfectly happy as a club promoter or “professional influencer” or fashion marketer or whatever other insufferable thing she wanted to be. That $500,000 could’ve gone towards that and nobody would be going to jail.

What absolutely infuriates me and is not talked about enough in this story is that ALL the kids in this sorry mess went to shrinks to get phony accommodations based on non-existent LD’s so they could get more time on the standardized tests. We live in LA and my son got into an amazing college this year. Almost every…

Pretty sure the OP is referring to their atrocious employment practices and not their product quality. I’m surprised Barrymore went this route, since it’s long established that the appropriate superstore venue for celebrity licensed products is Target.

First of all, I’m still confused how anyone did NOT think this was a paid promotion (and why news outlets covered it as if it was some viral accident—give me a fucking break).

You take that back right now. Peanut M&Ms give me life.

I always like to think she ends up with her Husband, the man she married and loves and not the stalker best friend who she barely knew. After he leaves with his stupid stage direction cards, she tells her husband who promptly calls the cops.

I understand his frustration, but if he wanted to clear his name, he would have agreed to an investigation by the FBI. That investigation wouldn’t take long (it was only 4 days for Anita Hill). He repeatedly refused to agree to that investigation at yesterday’s hearing. I also found it telling that the Republicans…

I’m lucky to have a very supportive workplace but I’m so utterly distracted and emotionally all over the place this week. I can’t imagine having to work at a place where it’s that toxic and be dealing with all this at the same time. I’m so sorry.

God, THIS. Its such a common phrase in my vocabulary. And I hate myself for it.

Truth. I and the women in my life routinely use “it’s fine” as a phrase that means “it’s absolutely not fine, but it’s not worth the drama that the truth will bring up.”

What do you do when your country can’t even agree on reality?

This entire nomination process is just so gross. Leaving aside Ford’s accusations (which I find credible), Kavanaugh showed yesterday that he does not have the temperament or impartiality to serve on any federal court. That in and of itself should be disqualifying. But this is why elections matter. Everyone needs…

Eventually, the bubble collapses. At some point, there will be a split so vast that it’s simply impossible to be a good believer and accept the evidence of your own eyes, and they’re either going to snap out of it or go completely insane. In Jonestown, the collapse of the bubble led to mass suicide. In Germany, it led…

This tweet is too real:

Take care of yourself. You don’t have to watch it to support her. 

Honestly, I don’t know if it makes me a bad citizen or weak or whatever but I can’t even listen. I can’t watch. I can’t have my blood pressure skyrocket, I can’t be sitting here at work grinding my teeth with that bullshit in the background. I want to stay informed, I want to be active...but I can’t. even just…

Yes. We are all having rage strokes.
