I feel so bad for Wade because all of his early career was thanks to his connection to Michael Jackson. If you knew anything about him, it’s that he choreographed for Britney and NSYNC in the style of Michael Jackson because he’d learned a lot of his dance moves from Michael Jackson personally. Of course this…

Gah, you’re right, I’m fixing. I should have just sold highlighter palettes.

Oh man... the thing that hit me hardest was the interview that Wade did when he was 14, denying that Michael had ever touched him, juxtaposed against adult him recounting the story of what happened. Moreso even than the recontextualisation of MJs music... having an adult second look at that interview Wade gave when he…

Yup, I bought into all of the excuses because I liked his music. The whole “he never got a childhood so he likes hanging around kids”, “he’s like an asexual man boy, he doesn’t look at anyone sexually - see how awkward he was with that “marriage” with Lisa Marie Presley”. It was only when I got older I started to…

Yes, if the boys are to be believed (which I absolutely do) he ran drills with them how not to get caught. He knew it was wrong, he knew the consequences. He was a sick fuck who thought what he was doing was fine. Gaslighting. threatening... Watching the documentary, I was like, fuck, this was all so obvious. So…

Thank you for this. As a lifelong dyed in the wool fan, I watched the documentary with equal tension and relief. I ‘m ashamed I was a WHERE’S THE PROOF? fan, although by the time 2005 had rolled around I had experienced sexual assault and became acquainted with the legal system’s handling of it. As I still regularly…

I’m struck my his insistence that he would never harm a child.  I do think he believes he never harmed these boys.  That they loved him, and physically responded to him.  Therefore, it wasn’t wrong.  It was only the small minded who couldn’t see that these were loving relationships.  I do think he believed that.  Its…

Don’t discount the state school just because of the allure of Yale. The Ivy might be a better choice, but local schools can often be just as emotionally and intellectually fulfilling, with a great alumni network for post-grad opportunities.

My guess is that one of them has a tort lawyer relative who put this together.

No, it’s not. Olivia is the classic old lady name that became cool again, and not everyone named Jade is a stripper. <sensitive mom whose daughter’s middle name is Jade as an homage to her grandmother and has had to deflect those comments for 15 years>

Can’t he just support his friends in private like the rest of us?

The assumption is that they pay *the school* and that it isn’t guarenteed. Not some guy who runs a fake non-profit to bribe SAT proctors and coaches in order to get around the not-guarenteed part/make the kid think they got it without a trampoline-level leg-up. The shock is really more about how stupid and wildly out…

People knew that the rich bought their way into the elite schools; I think the shock is the use of a middleman, elaborate cheating schemes, and bribing what is effectively the “middle-management” at the colleges rather than just paying for a new library. After all, Yale could use an international airport.

The best part of this whole deal is many of the parents only got caught bc Singer started cooperating and the FBI made him CALL EVERYONE BACK to recount the crime on a wiretap.

She’ll probably lose Amazon after she quits/gets booted from USC, but notice that all of the rest are cosmetics/fashion brands. They don’t GAF about this because the tweens who follow her likely aren’t any paying attention to it and will go on begging mom and dad for her stuff because she promotes it.

Wait, what?

This was the most Meghany Meghan yet. The topic had nothing to do with her family and she went right to how EVERYTHING is about her family - because her family has benefitted from legacy admissions for generations, and rather than just not mentioning it, she brazenly defended it.

I realize the post is tongue-in-cheek, but any unnecessary coverage of Koch Industries’ consumer products gets me like candy foil on a cavity.

It’s a fart. A woman’s fart.

this is the best
