Spacey’s victims are male and therefore the allegations are taken seriously. Masterson’s victims are female and therefore they were probably asking for it and they should have known better and why didn’t they come forward until now and we have to do a thorough investigation before possibly ruining an innocent man’s…

Reminds me of one of my favorite memes— “look at this bitch eating those crackers like she owns the place”

I agree. Sometimes you can’t control your environment and as adults we all need to be able to deal with that. I agree that it’s gross— who knows what nastiness is on the floor, especially in the bathroom! But how does it affect anyone except the barefoot woman? If this isn’t causing business problems (e.g., clients…

Definitely Kim Jong Un. I know he’s horrible too, but I don’t have to see pictures of his nasty, smug, racist, stupid, ugly face every day.

I think you’re right. Given what we’ve learned about him so far, though, I really hope he stays away from gay youth, wherever they are. :(

$16,000? Sad! One of Hitler’s paintings went for 130,000 Euros in 2014.

That was my thought too! Why else would so many people be so cavalier about deceiving one of their closest loved ones? It’s bizarre. Like, in any other situation, if you made an agreement with someone to do something together, and they changed the agreement without telling you because they knew you wouldn’t like it,…

I agree with you. I can’t believe that basically everyone here is ok with denying this woman the agency to make an informed decision about the terms of her relationship. They made an agreement, he unilaterally changed the terms of that agreement. She deserves to know that, how is that even up for debate?

The issue is that it is up to his wife to decide if he deserves a chance for redemption. It’s not up to him to unilaterally decide that for her.

And this is just one more piece of evidence in support of the idea that it is good business sense to hire a diverse staff at all levels. (Because we all know that the money argument is all that matters in corporate America— and a lot of American society in general.) If they had people of color working on this campaign…

My bet is that a lot of them never bother to justify this type of thing to themselves. Like, everyone they know lives this way so there is just an assumption that it is normal. I’m not saying that’s Beyonce and Jay-Z specifically, just based on the wealthy (although no where near the Carters’ level) people I know. Of…

Forget about my dog’s laziness; 12 people is more than I’ve ever rescued and the less said about what I’ve accomplished today (nothing) the better.

Yeah, it’s crazy. My BIL has said that he wants at least 4,000 square feet in his next place and I had this whole conversation with my husband about how in a place that size you’d probably never see anybody else in your family (this is a family of 4) and that must be the point. And that size house would fit in this…

I guess if your place is 20,000 square feet you can just put the Lego room so far away from the rooms you use that they’d never make it near you. And while you’re at it, hire someone whose only job is to constantly collect them and put them away.

Ooh, like what?!

Ah...I heard something on the radio about her paying for a student she mentored to go to a private school. I wonder if it’s the same kid?

That was an interesting article, thanks for linking it. I know some wealthy people who consider themselves “regular middle class” and it drives me nuts. Once they were complaining that “everyone” they know have nicer places than them (they own a very nice 2 bed, 2 bath in a doorman building in Manhattan). So…

Yes, a Lego room sounds awesome. Do you know how painful it is to step on one of those that your messy kids have left lying on the floor?

But what does a family even do with that much space? If that were my place I would have whole wings I never went into. I’d put my phone down somewhere and it would take me weeks to find it again. My kids would probably accidentally murder each other while playing and I wouldn’t even realize it for hours. And imagine…

NYC public schools already do free breakfast for anyone who wants it. Also free breakfast and lunch during the summer for anyone under 18. :)
