I read that Karamo really wants his title changed on the show, because he is a licensed therapist! I think it is a bit disrespectful to not highlight his training. 

I have a naturally high pitched voice, and when I get myself worked up it gets higher and higher until I have to pause and reset because only dogs can hear it. Then I have my professional voice. It’s a little slower and slightly deeper than my natural voice, which is high southern valley girl. My daughter mocks me…

Of all the sociopathic and reckless bullshit this chick did, the fake voice is the least offensive to me. I get it. Tech is so sexist even voice recognition software works better on lower voices. I mean, even our iphones are telling us they’ll only listen and take us seriously if we speak like men. So yeah, I won’t…

An octave is a pretty massive shift for the human voice. 

A couple of feminist friends took me to task for saying Holmes faked her voice. They said higher octaves don’t help women in the workplace, which I don’t argue with, and she only “lowered her voice an octave,” which in their minds wasn’t fake. I say she lowered it way TOO much, and that’s what makes it fake.

OMG I ate this up last night! Now I’m just waiting for the Jennifer Lawrence movie. I also recommend The Dropout podcast on Holmes, which is incredibly thorough and engrossing (there’s also a 20/20 documentary based on The Dropout, which I’ll be watching as soon as I can.)

I can’t even imagine having the concentration it must have taken to constantly lower her pitch, for years.

USC is living up to its nickname:

Huffman’s kid is a high school senior. She’s not getting expelled - she’s just not getting in anywhere. Acceptances aren’t coming out for weeks. I cannot imagine any school would take her now that all this has come to light. Loughlin’s kids (or a least one) have already graduated, so there’s that. A guy in my…

So are any of the kids going to be expelled?  

Really, the only people dumber than trump are the people who voted for him.

The really dumb question: Why does she even need a degree? What could it possibly do for her? Why would her parents pay 500k to get her into a good school when they could put that same money toward ... idk, launching a clothing line or acting classes or some other kind of self promotion more in line with this woman’s…

Is it really possible that the President of the United States is literally the dumbest person in the world?

Maybe it’s just because I’m an old, but I don’t think any of these influencers (gag) look fresh-faced: they all look like they’re 10 years older trying to look their actual age. (Does that make sense? She looks like she’s late 20's/early 30's trying to look 20.) It’s weird. Maybe it’s the crazy contouring or filters…

One thing I’m really interested in (assuming we all last that long) is what do these “influencers” look like in 5 or 10 years?

What I don’t understand is, if this girl so clearly hasn’t a shred of interest in actually getting an education at USC, why did her parents resort to what amounts to a felony to get her in there? Lack of a college education hasn’t hurt the K-J clan financially. 

One thing I’m really interested in (assuming we all last that long) is what do these “influencers” look like in 5 or 10 years? I already can’t believe that people give a shit what type of makeup Aunt Becky’s teenage daughter wears, but one she ages out of the slightly older sister demo, who is going to listen to her?…

One of my supervisors at Cambridge also taught at Harvard, and had previously taught at Yale. She said she much preferred Cambridge because they don’t have legacy admissions so everyone was at least reasonably smart (though rich kids do of course still have an advantage, and I’m sure there are still some ‘unofficial’…

Legacies at my alma mater got shit when they were dumb as rocks (hi Jared) but none of the pervasive stigma. Any students of color were automatically assumed to have been admitted under lower standards. 

This is the nouveau riche version of notorious “legacy admissions” that the dimwitted offspring of wealthy families have depended upon forever (see Bush, George W., Trump, Allof’em, and Kushner, Jared). Spoiled brats and the parents who spoil them. I never want to hear another word about Affirmative Action for…
