They should have been taken away the minute she decided to bring the piece of shit man who molested her older daughter back around after getting out of prison. I mean, jfc. Clearly she cares much more about herself than any of her children’s wellbeing. 

“I don’t want you to get sticked or nothing.”

They show doesn’t really get into that, but there are at least a couple times when the “Lindy” character gets called out for being very self-centered. 

Or it could have been a clinic that routinely has folks that can’t pay and helps them if they can.

Ditto. I love Aidy Bryant and, glad to see her get a platform for her talents.

Same, I’m gonna watch this and eat sorbet and then harass my friends into watching it too.

That might be an active part of NBC’s strategy. Put all of her shows on youtube, monetize from there, maybe hope some people us the NBC app, and maybe watch other shows once they’re using said app. Any Nielsen ratings they get at 1:30am are a bonus. 

Probably an unpopular opinion. But I kind of feel bad for her she didn’t even want to go to college she said before her parents pressured her. And although she was complicit the adults in the room thought this was a good idea and funded it. At that age I would do anything my mom wanted. 

I imagine her saying “OMG mom!!!! I’m literally going to die right now over this! How could you ruin my life?!? I never even wanted to go to college!!!”

I don’t feel bad for her but I think it’s shady and opportunistic as hell that jezebel is making her the face of the scandal when she’s not even one of the people who’s been indicted. She’s just one to the kids whose parents bribed oficials. The criminals are the parents and the network of scammers and coaches who…

Same. She didn’t want to go, her parents forced her to go because they didn’t and thought she should, it’s hard to go against your parents when they control you financially, and now she’s humiliated on a global scale for something she didn’t want to be part of in the first place. She’s also catching all the vitriol…

Yes, the excerpt posted above says that.

This development warms the cockles of my first-generation college student heart.

As The World Burns

Who cares? It’s not like de blasio bought the single to play it, his enjoyment of this song isn’t harming anyone. Dealing with problematic authors doesn’t mean constantly running Shazam in elevators and supermarkets so you can pitch the expression on your face to the perfect level of disapproval for an artist’s…

It’s totally believable that de Blasio didn’t know who made the song. Even if he had known, he was there as a guest and I could see why one might choose to just go along with it in such a situation.

Totally feasible.

Yeah, I feel like Jezebel gets really judgy sometimes when people don’t know every pop culture reference.

My confusion is...how did the office fail her? They took her allegations seriously, investigated it, there were clear consequences for the man in question that sound in line with his actions (and when further allegations were made and substantiated, he was fired), and she both no longer reported to him or had to be…

Yes. Thank you. I was reading it, thinking - ah, and then nothing happened to him?! No, he was creepy and was 1) punished for it with loosing his promotion (and so I assume she no longer had to report to him), was 2) physically moved to put him further away from her and 3) was given a final warning, which I think is…
