I didn’t say MSNBC was pro Trump. I just said they spend all day and night covering him. This is at the expense of other stories. How many more times do we need to exhaustively cover the indictments? There isn’t 10 hours of new news on this subject every day until the trials start and yet they cover it every single…

“Franke’s business partner and therapist Jodi Hildebrandt.”

That is a basic cop out answer. “Don’t have them if you can’t afford them.” How about YOU have kids and see how well it turns out for you as their parent?  If they succeed, then congratulations.  If they fail, then maybe you should blame the parent.

From what both sides have said, this isn’t a he-said/she-said scenario, everything will be laid out by paperwork and cashed checks. A couple things that jump out at me...

How is that clear? So the shitty racist movie portrayed him that way and stereotypes of black athletes being bad with money do it so it must be true

That he’s suspicious of them is breathtaking. The state of mind one has to be in to do that — I feel sad for him.

Maybe worth mentioning that Michael Lewis was friends with Sean Tuohy and that they’ve known each other since they went to high school together in New Orleans (before college)? There’s nothing unbiased about his viewpoint here. And the only interesting thing is he’s claiming the Tuohys did get $350k for the movie…

One of the reasons hardcore Christians, especially Catholics, hate yoga is because yoga wants you to feel whole, centered, and content.

Went to a religious high school and we had everything but snake handling. Prophets, speaking in tongues, mandatory revivals. The whole thing fell apart for me intellectually when a teacher isolated groomed and touched a 16 year old and the discussion was about her as a temptress. Fuck all them people.

I (atheist/recovering Catholic) am trying to imagine what my parents would have done if we had come home from our Catholic high school talking about a priest lecturing on “demonology” and performing exorcisms. I know this for sure—they would have told us to not sit through another one of this talks. Get up and leave…

No, this is the actor who portrayed Michael Oher, not Michael Oher himself.

When you retire and finally have enough money to shield yourself from people who exploited you. Now imagine all of the kids in foster care who don’t have millions to challenge the people allegedly “taking care of them”.

No one believed him up till now because society has this twisted view of minorities and orphans…

I didn’t say it was on them, did I? I said it showed that he hadn’t been involved in the movie and thus was also likely left out of the financial decisions.

There’s no more “cynical attempt to drum up attention” than lying about adopting a child to paint yourself as white saviors, which they now fully admit to.

“I loved your book about a young black man who goes from foster child to NFL draft pick. We’d like to make it into a movie about a white lady.”

“…as he mounts his second run for the White House…”

Well perhaps if the United States valued its citizen’s physical and mental health over that of corporate wealth then we would live in a much more supportive and compassionate society. This is not the case. The “American dream” is the pursuit of wealth, power and fame. All other values are eclipsed by these primary…

Perhaps these men can wipe their tears with all the extra dollars they get from the gender pay gap or they can take a boner pill that their health insurance covers as they sit at the top of the corporate food chain, surrounded by other men who look like them, while they commiserate over how downtrodden they are.

I think for the longest time she was able to make the story a sort of perpetual performance art act, constantly changing her appearance and such.  Hey, look what cool girl Grimes is up to now!  Then she started dating Musk and people began asking her questions about things other than her music, clothing or hair color.
