“It can’t possible be that bad,” I thought, reaching for the controller. Instead my expectations were sadly exceeded.

speaking of people we don’t have time for, links to stories about 69696x96x96x96x on the jezebel banner will NOT go away for some reason.

To be fair, though, Hearst was literally kidnapped and tortured for almost a year. No psyche could stand up to that. It’s not like she was walking down the street and thought man, I’m bored, guess I’ll join a group of delusional psychos!

The entire maternal side of Meghan’s family seems to be managing just fine without turning into a salty, thirsty, embarrassing hot mess.

They do, but it’s still not considered trash the way celebrity news is. A lot of people that complain about how terrible sport media is still hold onto the idea of a purer reporting that could exist in a better world. No one really seems to think gossip stuff could be better; it’s baddness starts at the subject.

Agreed, Peyton Manning always seemed like the sort of guy who would make you some tea. Or even just give you a tea bag if you needed one.

It’s time for a new generation to learn to hate Joe Lieberman.

... but did they get divorced?

More of a recording of Shkreli that you recorded off the radio, so there’s a bit of a radio DJ chatter at the beginning and a fade-in to another song at the end.

Sirens blaring, red flags flying. When anyone tries to transform their SO get.the.fuck.out.

You know they will be stealing stupid shit too. “Damn it, double Beckys! Who the fuck steals a doorknob?”

I mean is there really anything more American than a fat, bloviating old white guy being an obnoxious dick to everyone around him while accusing them of doing things he himself is far more guilty of?

Ok...this peeing thing is starting to happen to me and I have never even given birth. My doctor was just like, yup, that happens, do some kegels. Damn.

Fandom has always been toxic, but that’s not what this is. What’s at play here isn’t fandom causing problems, it’s toxic masculinity and misogyny and racism and unexamined privilege which have caused problems. It’s shitty that it’s pervasive in so many fandoms, but it’s not like it’s a Star Wars problem. It’s shitty…

This. Is. Awesome. 

I think you’re the one who is confused if you think movies are only financed when they’re being filmed and that financing only means actual money. Oprah certainly made it into her vanity project to get it out there and successful. Her additional expectations were her problem and didn’t mean Mo’Nique had to go bankrupt…

This movie was a low budget vanity project financed by people like Oprah so I seriously doubt Mo’Nique could have negotiated for a piece of the pie. For a lot of reasons it wasn’t promoted for just a couple of weeks like most movies then give the cast a few months of break before awards season. Instead, they were…

Mo’Nique - made fair and reasonable demands but is not an easy person to like.

Another question is just how much promoting of a project do you have to do when you won’t be the one earning more money from this? I did see Mo’Nique on major shows promoting Precious but my understanding is that the actors were paid very little to act in it. Shooting took a couple of months out of their lives, then…

It’s supposed to represent the cup Jesus used during the Last Supper. It’s all here:
