Oh, thanks, man. I really appreciate that. ♥️

This is 100% true. Companies have expectations for employees that are neither necessary nor commensurate with the wages being offered. You don’t need your entry level employee to have a master’s degree, you’re going to pay them $40k, and you’re doing it because you’re going to get 50 applications for the position.…

Real talk: do you have training in counseling etc or have you just had a ton of therapy? This is spot. fucking. on.

10000000%. Here’s what I can tell you about families: they’re systems. They literally never have one, randomly-occurring ass hole. That doesn’t necessarily mean you’re all ass holes (sometimes it does), but it does mean that Morgan’s behavior has been reinforced since time immemorial. Not only that, it’s been…

I didn’t click the Gwyneth story so I thought this was just your personal stance on the subject, apropos of nothing, and I thought, “yeah, I can get behind that.”

I’m *sure* he thinks it’s temporary, and I’d say it’s 50/50 he’s right. The only man I can think of who has had as spectacular an implosion and not bounced back is Michael Richards. All of the men I’m thinking of are pre-#metoo and were accused/admitted to domestic violence (Charlie Sheen, Chris Brown, Mel Gibson,…

I think this is spot on. Is there sexism and misogyny at the root of why he was Matt Lauer, the brand? I think so. I don’t think it’s just “He was a great anchor! He’s worth it! Viewers responded to him because he’s America’s dad!” I just think it’s reductive and oversimplifying to say “man X makes two times what…

I think it can be both. There are other men on that show that can serve as counterfactuals, though: Al Roker, Willie Geist. Neither of them are paid like this.

Uh, so you’ve never heard the maxim “all publicity is good publicity?” Maybe people aren’t coming back in droves because they’re finally rid of Matt Lauer, maybe they’re coming back because Today is in the news like crazy? I agree that Matt was grossly overpaid and overrated. And there is a *significant* serving of…

Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes. It’s from the TLC “Behind the Music,” when she explains why she set the house on fire. Her bf bought himself a fuckload of sneakers, she looked and saw he didn’t buy her any, dumped all the shoes in the tub, and set them on fire.

“And I looked and there were no size 5s...”

This is a real thing that happens, and it’s compketely fucked. But Matt Lauer was paid a lot because he was a tent pole in NBC News’ brand. Why viewers were so loyal to him, I’ll never know. But comparing two women who haven’t been huge names at NBC for decades with a man who basically *was* NBC for decades isn’t…

You don’t really like tattoos but *this one* makes the cut??? I guess there’s no accounting for taste.

There have been a bunch of blind items that are supposedly about the youngest one—Tallulah, right?—having a heroin problem and several unwanted pregnancies as a teen. It gave me the impression things are super whacked out in their family and they try to keep a lid on it publicly.

Oh, girl. 31 weeks is not the home stretch. Pregnancy is like a wormhole in the time-space continuum (or something? I dunno, I don’t do science). The final 6 weeks are somehow longer than the preceding 34.

You’ve *got* to be trolling with this.

He’s amazing and wonderful, but I’m reasonably sure that’s photoshopped? The lettering is off.

FORCEMAKE! Stealing this.

But a *sitting* president can’t be prosecuted. That’s why impeachment exists. So he’s have to be impeached or resign for that prosecution to occur. Given the balance in Congress and the fact its GOP (and some Dem) members would have to have spines surgically installed, it seems prosecution is more likely and could…

Sans Jonathan Brandis??? Sacrilege!
