  1. anyways, i did pay more attention to the Depp/Heard case and my opinion of her being a crazy lying bitch came from listening to the insane recordings of their fights (that she made!), her behavior in the courtroom, and her direct testimony on the stand. she came across about as sincere as Ted Cruz. not to say Depp came out much better, and his career is in shambles anyway...but he definitely won that case fair and square. she came across as downright evil in some of those exchanges. so, you know...sometimes it's not misogyny, sometimes we really are just a crazy bitch. i don't really know much about Lively other than a handful of movies, she could indeed be a raving narcissist, i don't know. and i've never been a big RR fan...i didn't even know he had amassed such a huge fortune outside of Hollywood until all these recent headlines. i really only watched him in Deadpool b/c those are the only Marvel movies i've enjoyed. i guess we'll see how this plays out.
  2. who the fuck wants 'more details'??

  10. the truest, clearest and simplest description i've seen. i regret i have but one posrep to give.
  11. man...i don't even know what thread to put this one in...i'm pretty disturbed by it tbh, prolly cause it's on the heals of several other things... one, the conversation with my French friend i shared in the international thread, depressed the hell out of me cuz in the end you kind of still hope 'maybe it's just us, maybe we see too much of the minutiae so our view is skewed'. turns out nope, the world is indeed watching in horror/glee. two, without providing too much detail for the law enforcement monitoring this board (🖕), currently assisting in a situation with a young woman who traveled many miles to get access to a service that is freely available where i live but recently outlawed where she lives. been a few fun conversations around CYA and what not to say and to whom, and changing phone numbers to escape harassment from a party that does not want her accessing said service...and being aware that said party can report her, and the friend that rode with her, for a literal bounty, and making sure there is actually no proof of anything anywhere...and, you know, all of that. fun. there's something about the dawning horror of realizing what the conversation you are having actually means in terms of being a female citizen of the US in 2025. and now...just had a puppy playdate with a new friend here, who...i can't even really unpack this one. she is nice, i like her, our dogs adore each other, politics just doesn't come up, as it shouldn't and used to be, right...and she advises she was diagnosed with aggressive stage 3 breast cancer three weeks ago. so she has an oncology team, and is getting a second opinion but is, at least as of now, planning to follow recommendations for the chemo/radiation then surgery treatment protocol. maybe. because... ...she's also going next month to a facility in AZ for eastern/holistic treatment. and she's started giving herself ivermectin already, and some other crap i never heard of, Mel Gibson said it worked. and thankfully Trump is in office now b/c RFK will 'open up' access to all kinds of alternative treatments. and did i mention she got laid off about 3 months ago and hasn't found a new job yet? so no insurance...but thankfully she qualified for...you know where this is going...Medicaid and so far she hasn't received a single bill! yay. i mean, i got in the car and started crying b/c one, that totally sucks, and also EVERYTHING ELSE IN THAT INSANE CONVERSATION. what is even happening😖it's an honest to god struggle to even know anything to say in response. i just kept falling back on 'uh, well...oh i am just so sorry!!' and hugging her. TL/DR - the past 24 hours basically:
  12. oh yeah, she also said "I really hope people will regret it and change that in four years 🙏" i didn't really have the heart to laugh at that one, and i don't think she would have understood the colloquiallism of 'oh my sweet summer child' lol im so glad the US is respected around the world again.
  13. chatted with my French friend last night, just touching base to gauge french civilian awareness/ reaction... their news headlines are full of US news. some of her comments... 'all is really unbelievable' 'very frightening for the world' 'really the worst thing happening' 'just come back to Europe!' (ha i wish) 'i can not look at his carrots face!' 😆 'this is really terrible, we are to Idiocracy!' (i replied that yes i had seen that documentary which made her lol) 'this is indeed terrifying for the world and humanity' she did remark that she knows it is not 'most Americans fault', she said every one of her friends is terrified. she had a couple of work trips to the states planned in the next year but that has all been canceled. so anyways, not foreign policy but a glimpse of other shit going on around the world i guess. awesome.
  14. 'DUH!' response has never been more applicable 🙄 someone is no doubt working on how to justify sending $$ to Texas and Florida but not California and Colorado.
  15. that reminds me...anybody see Wolf Man?
  16. so anyways, that dude was basically chastising this thread for schadenfreude right? do you even aggy, bro?🤔
  17. well thanks for not voting for the twice-impeached convicted felon, confirmed sex offender, compulsive liar, abject moron and top ten shittiest human alive i guess.
  18. this country was literally birthed from violence and oppositional defiance disorder and 'manifest destiny' written on our gotdamn red white and blue souls. 'land of the free, home of the brave' = 'you can't tell me what to do!!' in a nutshell. i mean that's like literally (TM Biden) bullet #2 of the democratic platform lol
