i saw a comment where someone was complaining that Blue Ivy was allowed to wear makeup at almost 14 and that her parents are "adultifying her" and an 8th grade teacher responded and said "these kids wear full faces every day to sit in class and scream 6 7 at me, it's totally age appropriate" 😂

if his response to getting fired was to threaten murd*r-s*icide there's a 0% chance he wasn't abusive to that girl and/or his wife. you don't just become violent out of nowhere.

IMO this is because there's so much about the traditional medical system that is broken and unhelpful that it's not wrong to go outside the box and "do your own research" in some cases. discernment and knowing where the line is is the problem.
This is strictly a personal observation from living in LA, but RFK scares me so much because otherwise orthodox liberals with a woo food and chemicals streak are being converted into lunatic conservatives.
SCOOP: Academy Award-nominee Liam Neeson narrated a recent anti-vaccine documentary that glorifies RFK Jr.’s rise to power.
In the film, Neeson—a UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador—calls the COVID-19 vaccines “dangerous experiments.”

Amanda Seyfried tells WhoWhatWear she won’t apologize for calling Charlie Kirk “hateful”:
“I mean, for f**k’s sake, I commented on one thing. I said something that was based on actual reality and actual footage and actual quotes.“

my #dreamacademy take on Manon is that sometimes you just come across a person in life who puts in less effort than you for just as good or better results. and that is hard to swallow and sucks but also it's just how things are sometimes. she's naturally stunning and has natural dance and vocal.

Brad Lander announced today he's running in NY-10 against Rep. Dan Goldman. Lander is endorsed by WFP, Zohran Mamdani, Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, plus local electeds.
City Council Member Alexa Avilés, who was endorsed by DSA, just announced she won't run – clearing the field for Lander.

also I see him at Liberty games all the time and he's a real true-to-this fan. I usually don't bother him because he's there with his kids but I did introduce myself and ask for a selfie one time and he was very nice and gracious.
I've probably photographed Brad Lander more than any other elected in NYC because the dude shows up. He's everywhere, he's incredibly accessible, and he genuinely loves New Yorkers. You can literally go up and talk to him whenever he shows up. Go ahead, try it!

the Progressive AI ad is also terrible
It's truly wild to me that this just keeps happening. Coca-Cola runs an AI ad and people overwhelmingly react with disgust. They do it again, and people are disgusted again. Now McDonald's makes an AI ad that's so bad that so many people are furious about it they pull it down.
People hate AI slop!

omg. Kat Abughazaleh just posted that if she's elected, she'll swear in on a copy of Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower.
If you were elected to public office (never mind whether you'd ever actually run), what book would you swear in on?

One theory I have is that competence, self-control, responsibility, and expertise have all been feminized, leaving “masculinity” with the realm of impulsivity and petulance. So the divide is not really between “femininity” and “masculinity” so much as between adulthood and childishness.
Everything else aside, the idea that this is a model for many men of *masculinity* is so wild. This? This is "manly"? This is how people think it's cool to act?

the reason I hate Michael Kay is because during the 2020/21 Olympics, he went on a whole thing on his show about how Simone Biles withdrawing from some events was like "if you had to pinch hit Ronald Torreyes for A-Rod because A-Rod was too nervous," and that pissed me off because not only

The only person that doesn't see a problem with the CFP weekly rankings shows is the CFP chairman.

Despite criticism, CFP chair Hunter Yurachek doesn't see need to change weekly ranking shows
The CFP committee could have avoided a lot of criticism Sunday if they did fewer weekly ranking shows, but he didn't seem to think that's an issue.
