Good read, agreed on all fronts about higher education. I’d add that in addition to the stigma of community college as being some form of failure, I think we also need to work on the stigma of not going to college at all. I remember being told numerous times as kids, literal children, that we’ll “end up flipping…

The stigma against community colleges really, REALLY needs to fucking die.

The Hallmark Channel fans are the same people who continue to make excuses for Trump and his buddies. They will do the same for Aunt Becky and this will be nothing but a light scratch on the bumper of her career.

Never change, Mrs Betty Bowers

This was the most Meghany Meghan yet. The topic had nothing to do with her family and she went right to how EVERYTHING is about her family - because her family has benefitted from legacy admissions for generations, and rather than just not mentioning it, she brazenly defended it.

and I love the bullshit conservative narrative how this impacts all the hollywood librul elites...exhibit A is JARED KUSHNER...and then there are the Trumps

Not much will happen. She won’t get jail time, will pay her fine, and life will go on.

I remember this entire thing. Everyone thought she was just Jackson’s crazy sister, trying to piggyback his fame...talking like him, looking like him, ect. The talk shows and tabloids (which if you weren’t around then, it was the be-all-end-all of pop culture and celebrity news) had a field day talking about her, and…

Yes - she was right. Her brother was a pedophile. I can only imagine what kind of cash incentive she must have been given to make her try and take back the claims in later years.

I makes me feel better about my own shitty living situation because if I was rich I would live someplace nice and elegant and not so gaudy because I have class, damnit!

before I went to college I was super naive and ignorant and dumb

I mean . . . they could have spent half that money on getting her better contouring lessons.

I want to know what her favorite Sabbath album is

Can anybody explain to me why this is happening?

Same - I did ok, but I’ll never forget sitting down with my dad and him telling me with tears in his eyes that I couldn’t go to my dream school because we just couldn’t make it work financially.

if I had a dime every time someone told me “we can’t afford it, we can’t afford it, even with a scholarship we can’t afford it,” when I was applying to colleges....

A piece of advice from a father of four. They don’t “turn in to this”, you make them in to this. This girl was raised this way with these priorities. If you don’t do this to your kid, they won’t turn out like this vapid privileged waste of oxygen. 

I don’t know a more embarrassing OJ to come out of USC.

Those cheek highlights are not great advertising for her palette.

Who's Loughlin now?
