This and she wants to convey her own importance. Like, she’s super busy with shit you don’t even know about, but she can also just walk into a high-level meeting whenever she wants. Just an unsubtle reminder that she and Dad are a package deal.

Ivanka fucking whishes.

yup yup yup. It’s somewhere between elder care and mothering a toddler - when he starts crying because there’s only apple juice, not orange juice, you pop in and ask if he’d rather have it in a BLUE sippy cup or a RED one.

Because maternity pay and benefits are shit? People are desperate?

Meanwhile, us Brits are due to get Jane Austen on our new £10 in two weeks time. She is replacing Charles Darwin.

If you loathe the 0.01%, the too big to fail banks, wall street, and the rest of that circle and the wealth inequality and more that central banking backing up fractional reserve banking drives then you should be on Andrew Jackson’s side. 

Damn, I can’t believe Big Banking somehow got TRICKED into putting their arch-nemesis Andrew Jackson on the $20 all those decades ago.

He’s like the Kinja of presidents: Ugly by design, never wants to work and is preoccupied with making everything a white space.

If you took Leighton Meester out of GG, you would have no show. Blake is very pretty, but you could have swapped her out for any other tall, blonde actress and many would not have blinked an eye. Same for whatever his name that played Nate.
Side note, I once stood next Chuck Bass while waiting for a table. He smelled…

Have you forgotten Jenny?

Why be a Serena when you can be a Blair?!

Gossip Girl was great thanks to Leighton Meester.

Can we all agree that Leighton Meester >>>> Blake Lively? 

FWIW, I am a 90s child who was introduced to the 90s version waaaay before the original, and will confirm that you can love them both. What are we doing here, making the same choices those parents made?!

Tried to watch this with my daughters a couple years ago and my youngest, age 4 at the time, refused: “I don’t think I want to watch that, daddy. It sounds too scary for me...all those poor parents being caught in traps.”
