In times like these I am always reminded of the famous Bette Davis quote on the passing of Joan Crawford:
Rush Limbaugh died, too. I guess Trump Plaza was his last horcrux.
I’m gonna need a timeline of events to track the racist actions here (I know they are there, but I feel like this article puts them in a loop). I am not a viewer of this show (and I think I can be proud of it at this point), but I don’t really understand and cannot be bothered to read all the links.
I think that her statement can be true and yet also flippant and remorseless. While prisons definitely need a massive overhaul and shift away from punishment and toward individualized rehabilitation, this particular woman is such a piece of work that I translate her little diatribe to: “Well, there was nothing in it…
Dushku also did Dollhouse under Whedon. And then there’s Firefly.
It is exactly nonsense like this why the last 2 cars I purchased were through an online car dealer. I no longer have any patience to sit in a cubicle for several hours while the sales person goes back and forth to the sales manager, and then when you get through that you have to deal with “Finance”...
I’m late to the rodeo but I do have a couple thoughts/questions. First, why was she put under a conservatorship? I mean she is not the first celebrity to have a full on public meltdown or behave erratically. (Kanye?) She is bipolar I gather but so are millions of other people in the world. Shouldn’t she have a choice…
If someone decides you are crazy and should not be able to handle your own affairs (but still work and make money) the only thing you can do is prove you are not crazy and handle your own affairs.....but they won’t let her even do that. There is no way for her to prove she doesn’t need it. Trapped in a well.
Derpy, or derp, have existed in the (English?) lexicon for quite some time. At least a few decades if not longer.
So going to preface this before I say what I’m about to say because I know someone here will immediately go to “Oh you’re just being a douche on the internet”, which... well, saying that already has put that in their mindset but we’ll sort that out later:
I owned a house around 20 years ago, the mortgage payment was $300 a month. I got sick and has to sell it. I will never be able to own again unless I hit a lottery. Bidding wars are pushing prices into the $1MM+ range, the same ones that cost $175-200k just a few years.
Yeah, when she mentioned an abusive relationship a few years back, I think a lot of us figured it was Manson due to both the timeline and the age difference. Dita Von Teese divorced him and it was heavily implied she did so because he pursued Evan Rachel Wood while they were married, when Wood was 18.
“Reaction from parents and conservative media will be a large factor in deciphering whether the cultural pendulum has indeed shifted enough so that a popular child celebrity coming out elicits little more than a shrug in response.”
You would probably have to go back to Bess Truman to find a First Lady who was more clearly uninterested in the role. She never wanted it, did the bare minimum in terms of entertaining, shunned the press, and was frequently absent from DC. She was also anti-Semitic.
The role of first lady is 100% unpaid labor. It looks to me like she was doing the bare minimum for a ‘job’ she didn’t want in the most graceless, alienating way possible.
I love how Melania refused to use a toilet also used by QUEEN Michelle Obama, but was more than happy to steal her speeches and initiatives :P
