“And for those who are defending her on the basis of her youth, some of us were at our apex of passionate political idealism at 22 or 18 or even 16. People tend to become more conservative with age not the reverse.”

i’m not saying it’s right or that there haven’t been very passionate social justice movements throughout american history. but clearly in 2008 we were at a point socially where a very sheltered and privileged jennifer lawrence was comfortable enough to believe that the social issues others fought so hard for in the…

She’s not a Republican anymore and she says they didn’t reflect her social viewsl A lot of people when they were very young mirrored their parents political views but grew up to think differently.

except that she was raised in a republican household in kentucky and so her bubble was republican. i think we’re all forgetting how very relaxed most people were about politics until 5 years ago.

Well, she’s pretty good at playing plucky little waifs, so maybe people figured she came from poor appalachian stock.

Entitled isn’t a good color on anyone.

Yeah... literally no one comes out of that Disney story looking good. Two entities both MORE than able to pay for something that most Americans would be on the fence about right now... Being a black woman who made it in Hollywood and being a crappy person aren’t mutually exclusive.

Sounds like she tried to pull: Do you know who I am card? 

The rich really do resent paying for anything.

I really do like Shonda Rhimes’s shows, but this doesn’t make ABC or Rhimes look good. It’s a pittance to Rhimes and ABC...and beyond the reach for many of us peasants. 

PSA: If Catholic dogma doesn’t align with your lifestyle or moral beliefs, you can, in fact, just not be Catholic anymore. It’s quite nice.

I feel like I’ve seen this trend become a thing during my lifetime and I saw it as a pushback against the summer culture that reigned in the 80s and 90s. Women started enjoying a season where we get to be less social, more comfortably dressed and eating rich, delicious foods with less judgement from those around us. Su…

I loved the Witches of Eastwick. I was kind of hoping they would make the sequel, the Widows of Eastwick, into a movie as well. The timing works out well with all three actresses. I guess thats been shot to shit. 

It’s weird to think about anyone but Bette Midler, Diane Keaton and Goldie Hawn in First Wives Club. You can’t really swap Sarandon in for any of them. I’m guessing she was probably up for the role Midler ended up playing, but who knows?

So what makes the one disgruntled former employee, more credible than the CEO and law firm, who found there was no racism? Did you even read what you wrote in the article where 47 employees,of diverse racial backgrounds, who had problems with Ms. Aflalo stated they didn’t believe racism was involved?

I’m Australian. Our right wing (confusingly for many called the Liberals) are cunts but the American right wing takes things to a whole new level of cuntitude.

Biden’s emphasis on reaching across the aisle, to this collection of Republicans in particular, reeks of the sort of outdated quaintness of a West Wing rerun. At a time when the right will likely achieve yet another victory with the appointment of conservative Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, let’s just…

Not this shit yet again. I’m all for being 100% behind Biden until the electiom is signed, sealed and delivered and then for the progressive wing going to full blown war with him if necessary to kill this mindboggling insistence to reach across the aisle despite all the evidence that not only is it never reciprocated,…

Everyone loves the “In the Air Tonight” drum break, but I think the one in “I Don’t Care Anymore” is much more of a banger. I think it would have been great if THAT came out after everything else and signaled some kind of new dark direction for Phil.

I plan to turn off my lights, lock the doors, and ignore everyone like I always do. This year’s no different for me than any other in that regard.
