There are plenty of really intelligent people are also just asshats. The one does not preclude the other. I’m guessing Ted was an obnoxious, precocious kid who grew into a dick of a teen and as a fully formed adult is just a real piece of shit.  Someday we will discover there is a gene for this. 

There is a surplus of willfully ignorant people in my poor nation and Cohen has a genius for exploiting that. This will be very funny and very uncomfortable.

A sense of humor? Ability to appreciate quality humor?

I’m so sorry. Heartbreaking.

That Mike Pence scene already looks golden. I genuinely LOL’d at it. Yeah, I agree that if anything watching this will be a nice distraction and a way to lower my blood pressure and anxiety during the election.

I’ll never understand Ted Cruz. It’s not just Dershowitz who gave him such high praise, a number of famous Harvard Law professors have said he’s one of the smartest students they’ve ever encountered. Think about that for a second. This is a guy with a world class intellect who could be doing anything he wants in life,…

Sometimes I still call my best friend Shane and say “My wife!” and just hang up.

Maybe the part of the problem with American culture is that we are constantly asking the victims of bad behavior to change their behavior instead of the perpetrators. I have truly never experienced a culture like this and I am a child of immigrants and lived lots of places.

I always cringe at blaming people for their own abuse because a social media platform outgrew itself before making a plan to handle abuse of its platform by the masses. Instagram (as now owned by FB) has no incentive to make itself good for people, and abuse should not be taken as a given. It’s what’s allowed because…

that was my thought too - she otherwise would have to log on and deal with people congratulating her for a baby she isn’t carrying (painful) or deal with the press leaking the news first (also painful). I wish she COULD give herself the space to mourn without posting because that just looks so raw of an experience RN,…

Harassment is bad actually, and isn’t okay or deserved if the target is famous. Hope that helps.

chide her for not grieving properly.

Damned if you do. Damned if you don’t.

I think the issue with Teigen and Legend in particular is that their trolls are extremely virulent Q-anon supporters who have accused the couple of pedophilia and are using this miscarriage as proof that they -- i don’t know, what is the current Q-anon view? Eat babies? Drink their blood? Anyway, that. And it’s…

Tiegen had been posting regularly about their journey with this pregnancy from the beginning. I can imagine that, having had the pregnancy end in this way, she would want to get out in front of the story and post it herself.

I’m not one of the Chrissy superfans, but I think it’s super brave and loving of her to post openly about this when it’s still such a stigmatized subject. October is pregnancy & infant loss awareness month, and many of the replies to Chrissy on Twitter do a great job of illustrating why we need to be having these…

Miscarriages and stillbirths are through the roof during Covid. Be kind people, you have no clue what some people are going through

This. It is not within the capabilities (or, frankly, responsibilities) of private corporations to maintain their entire workforce for extended periods when their core business functions are depressed or fully non-functional. It also does not make sense that one would be surprised or disappointed if a private company…

I’m all for a socialist uprising, but I can’t help but see Disney’s side on this one. Reading their 2019 annual report they had net income of about 11 billion. That’s a lot, sure, but their gross revenue is closer to 70 billion. That’s a shitload of overhead.
Now look at the shitstorm that is 2020.... People aren’t…

Iger’s already forgone his entire 2020 salary. For Iger’s salary to pay even one year of wages(not even benefits) for 28000 employees, he would have to forgo his salary for 15-ish years.
