God I am so inappropriately invested in this.

Well, yes and no. I think what bothers me the most isn’t the behavior itself (I mean, that bothers me too, and you’re right that it’s consistent with how he’s been in public, which, by the way, I always thought was sometimes a tiny bit over the top but yes, charming in a he-really-loves-his-job-and-that’s-awesome kind…

This is the most accurate analysis yet.

Yesterday I read a Buzzfeed article about how this might all be for a music video and thought OH GOD PLEASE LET IT BE SO but later remembered that they were photographed meeting each other’s parents. Why would that be on a music video? It wouldn’t. So now I’m sad again. Inappropriately so, as you say below.

I think they are both too old to act like this in public, real or fake. It’s nasty.

I am too.

right? and at all the beginnings of relationships, I would make out fucking everywhere. like why not? we are in lurrvvveee and who cares what anyone thinks and whatnot. if I was a celeb i doubt i would have acted differently because it all ends up benefiting me in the end as well.

Also, why does she HAVE to go to extreme efforts to keep her relationships super duper private? She’s a grown ass woman. If she wants to go to freaking Starbucks with her high profile celebrity boyfriend while holding his hand then she damn well has every right to. Allowing the public to notice that you are with…

tbh I agree. I think she publicizes all her relationships because she’s a smart business woman but I don’t think that makes them fake anymore than any other relationship that is public with celebrities. This one is not really any different from the rest. I don’t believe that she has never loved anyone and it’s all for…

I sort of think that they’re being so obnoxious about it that it must be real.

I’m going to stay agnostic on the Ann of this story — but in general, I think this response is a bit silly. When you’re young, maybe. But it’s pretty reasonable, I think, to say “Look, I want to get married. If you don’t, we’re going to have to part ways.” A *lot* of relationship heartache could probably solved with…

It’s particularly odd in that he wrote for TV for years and that’s one work environment that is completely unforgiving when it comes to meeting deadlines.

Didn’t Stephen King had to invent a pseudonym (Richard Bachman) because his writing speed was outpacing his publisher-mandated release schedule?

It’s kinda of a strange quirk between the separation of gender and sex.

I used to say that but his Wallender is so boring compared to the original that I don’t want him to ruin another detective for me.

Please accept this nice gif I found as a pledge of my continued support!

So they have a brand that plays the role of a young white girl making fun of herself, but is actually controlled by a group of men. There’s something really gross about that, to me, and the disappearance of the female founder does not help.

Hey look, it passes the Bechdel Test!

This surprises me not at all. I’m a big Clinton supporter, but I haven’t put a sign up in my yard. I stopped posting stuff on FB. I rarely, if ever, commented on posts because the hostility was awful. The worst I think was a young woman who called Clinton many names, but capped it off by calling her a cunt. There’s no…

Hey, in 31 years, your daughter can be president. (She can succeed mine.) I teared up during the little into movie. She makes me proud to be an American.
