I just read the Awl post. No more Millihelen?! No more Kitchenette?! Those are two of my biggest reasons to come here. Millihelen was the only subkinja where I was an approved commenter. Guess I’ll find a new haunt, in time.

I’m looking down on Madeleine for this because anybody looking into the event would see it was much more nuanced than a simple “Bale was verbally abusive.” (I remember the event and details because it was hot in the gossip sites for weeks after it happened and was shocking in its happening and its resolution.)

It is known that his mother is an awful leech that sees her son as her own personal bank. Nope, can’t feel sorry for her.

I still love Pissing Contest, Saturday Night Social, Sunday Night Signoff, and the Slot, but Millihelen and Kitchenette on Jez and LifeHacker After Hours were great blogs.

I thought she was Kristen Stewart, since this is her only look.

Imagine if all the states (Looking at you, my homeland, ...fucking Texas) used all the funding that goes into trying to tear down Planned Parenthoods...to bettering our crumbling VA hospitals and provide housing for homeless vets or vets in need.

Yeah, that was a disaster - and not just for him. I’ve never understood why everyone suddenly decided he was leading man material. He’s always been fine, but nothing special, and then you add in his off-screen persona.... He’s like the opposite of Tom Hanks. Not personable at all and out to offend.

This doesn’t surprise me. And it’s only gonna get worse. If you’ll all allow me to use the economics degree that has not landed me a high paying job and bore you a little: pre-1980 and Reagan, there were massive taxes on the rich that allowed us to have a functioning Federal government (thanks to the great FDR, my fav…

I totally inherited the WASPy dread of mentioning money and it’s honestly a little crippling. No one should encourage that attitude, especially since these days it mainly exists to keep employees from negotiating for fair wages.
