Can you say more please - I’m a coast dweller and I’d love to hear what’s actually going on if all the press that’s going big is incorrect or inaccurate.

I don’t know why most people have been unable to have a nuanced conversation about that.

They were rooting for the Russians to fall and were audibly giggly when one of them did today. It was obvious and gross.

I square it by thinking about the kind of life threatening skills she has to perform. MJ or Serena won’t be catastrophically injured if they aren’t in the right headspace at all times. Simone is in that exact position - if she’s off by a fraction of an inch or a sec b/c hesitation, she’s either dead or paralyzed for…

I’ve seen some wildly disappointing takes on this ranging from Rachel Nichols being right to Maria Taylor being greedy about her salary and I’m just over it all.

Right?

1. Shutting the F^*& up is always free

Right - its someone claiming they are being abused, monetarily drained, and legally controlled by their family due to a disability and the article reads like a Jan and Marsha fight...

Let me just say no to the notion that you are the antigonist. You are not. Toxic family members always point to the person with healthy boundaries and consideration for others as the problem because you’ve been brave enough to stand up to them.

but that’s one of the issues - people, including those with disabilities have to be allowed to live but also fail on their own terms. Its not up to you or me or anyone else to decide what “doing well” looks like especially when that’s (1) different for everyone and (2) not the legal standard for most folks including…

I definitely had a soft spot for Miss Congeniality in my youth but as an adult I more identify with Legally Blonde. That’s no shade on Gracie Hart but I think the difference is what Kate Monday says in the comment above mine. Some girls are into traditional femininity and some aren’t. Gracie is a better fit for those…

I’m not going to shell you (lol) but I am going to offer a different perspective. I was 10 when this came out and watched it again recently. The ol’ girl holds up mostly because of how women are portrayed in the films you cited. At the time this was released the P!nk “Stupid Girls” vs. Lindsay, Paris, Britney thing…

I did a reddit sweep on your advice - tis a horror show that comes with receipts and longstanding stuff outside of this “one incident”.

ummm...she might need to prove it to her sister?

I actually read this differently - Britney definitely started off fast and frantic but she slowed down the longer the call went. Just an assumption, but I think she was scared of getting cut off. A lawyer from the other side tried at the beginning of the tape and Britney had to jump in. She is also heard whispering at…

Yes - its concern trolling. Kanye has a known diagnosed disorder and has breaks with reality that lead him to spend (waste) millions on running for President and expose damaging family secrets his children will have read about themselves and live with and he’s out free. Kim TRIED to get him under a conservatorship,…

Def agree on the institution or stage thing. If she’s well enough to dance on a stage every night in Las Vegas or on a sold out tour, she’s well enough to to figure out what she’d like to spend her money on. 

On thing I’ve always questioned is why everyone thinks she had a “breakdown” versus this being more of a post-partum related episode? She’d just had two babies in rapid succession, gotten a divorce, and was being hounded by paps everyday. Maybe she’s better cause none of that is happening anymore?

White children have these problems because their white communities (parents and peers) had these problems.

Read my comment again friend - I said the folks defending her are the one of the issues. That rush to defend this mess, to me, comes from the same place that the defense of Ellie Kemper’s “ball” does. The person did something wrong but there are bigger conversations to be had - like why white people love giving each…
