I've loved Sigourney Weaver ever since one of my all-time favorite movies, ALIEN. Couldn't resist going all fanboy on her yesterday & asking for a photo. She told me she's now in the cast of The Mandalorian. Talk about bad timing: she's now in that galaxy far, far away, years after I checked out! 💔

The advent of SM has upended their ability to control women’s community. They can’t isolate and gaslight us as successfully as before.

Evolution is starting to work as intended. These ones shouldn’t be allowed to breed.

I swear to god, out of all the women my wife knows or is nominally friends with, probably 80% have been cheated on. And of those, almost all of them are beard-o, alpha male, MAGA "Christians."

It's literally a joke at this point. (And not a good one.)

As I've said before: we tried lots of things to stop husbands mysteriously dying after eating a delicious home-cooked meal, or being clumsy around stairs, but divorce is the only one that actually worked.

I'm a divorce coach/mediator- couples split because they're unfulfilled, disregarded, abused, demoralized, shut out, lonely, exhausted, etc- not just 'unhappy'. When one or both parties realize they can move on, the relief is often palpable. Divorce can be a true blessing, & a lease on a new life.

Divorce has made millions of people very happy and there is no reason against it that doesn’t involve controlling women.

I had a client's mom come into orientation with us on his first day of work....

Do not EVER go into your adult child's job on their first day and override the professional that's there to teach them how to be independent.

That's not mommy's job.

It’s becoming increasingly clear that partnering with an unpredictable American regime weakens Europe. The only way to save itself is to disconnect from toxic Trumpistan, just as it did with Putin.

The U.S. is mirroring a pattern that has happened in authoritarian regimes around the world. When a government erects barriers to reproductive care, it doesn’t just cause death and suffering for women and their families. Such policies are often a first step in the gradual decline of democracies.
Opinion | Banning Abortion a Hallmark of Authoritarian Regimes
Seda Saluk writes about how U.S. policy on abortion rights has started to mirror patterns seen in authoritarian regimes around the world.

The Epstein Files STILL have not been released.

If he wasn’t in them.

He’d have released them.

It's fine to think Congresswoman Crockett isn't the strongest Democratic candidate to win the Texas Senate race, and I agree. But when the focal points of your criticism are her eyelashes and nails and her general appearance, it feels like you may need to chat with a therapist.

"If everyone who streamed All Hell on Spotify had done so using Tidal instead, we would have received an extra £31,847.38, which would double the amount we made from streaming of the album in this time period. Or if everyone used Apple Music it would have been £12,331 more."

Just randomly remembered: A guy I briefly dated called and I said, "I just have 1 more minute to finish something and then I'll call you right back." He said he was just going out. I called back and sure enough, he didn't answer. It occurred to me; I'd never called and gotten him. Probably cheating.

America got “the president is killing terrorists, don’t question it” in the 2000s too. But unlike now:
-The US had been attacked
-Al Qaeda was a terrorist group and planned more attacks
-They were in areas the US military did not freely operate, where arrest was risky
-Congress authorized the action
