Is it bad parenting to spray the back deck with the water hose and put a few extra layers on your kid so they can go slip and slide and fall around on the ice? Even if they already have one broken arm?
So she does the same thing that Selena Gomez and Jennifer Lopez do: pretend that anything about them other their names are also Hispanic. Only she doesn’t even have that.
I'm really surprised that anyone gives two shits about Alec Baldwin's younger baby factory of a wife. I know she puts herself out there and thereby opens herself to criticism, but I repeat, who gives a shit?
These people exist on attention and right now, times are tough. She’s basically a white girl who decided that she wanted to be European to become more interesting. I knew a girl like this and she was the fucking worst. She spent a few years going to architecture school in Italy and then adopted a weird Italian persona and spoke with a phony ambiguous accent. All because she was some boring bitch from Georgia and needed something to make her be different.
I think it’s a nice cross section of the insane narcissism of today’s culture, identity culture, mixed with a sprinkling of cancel culture that makes it more interesting to me. Her narcissism sticks out much more than most given how much she trades on her husband’s fame. I’d be much more apt to write it up as just a europhile thing but her social media footprint and media appearances are over the top.
Half the black guys I went to high school with magically developed Jamaican accents in their college years. That was the thing back then. It was fun to call them out when you caught them red-handed “That’s not how you sound, you fucking idiot.” It’s called “being a fake”. Ask Madonna and Steven Seagal how easy it is: just fuck or marry somebody with an accent and you transform into one of them, like a werewolf. Why is something only cool if it’s exotic? I never got that line of thinking.
I picked up a Southern accent at camp one time. I'm not from the South and the camp was in Maryland. No idea where the accent came from.
You seem surprised that society has latched onto a word, an insult, and overused it until it is no longer funny.
Anyone else have a weighted blanket? I got a 14lber for the wife last Christmas. She loves it. So much that she was dropping hints about getting another one so I upped my game and got her the 25lber thinking she'd swap the 14 for the 25lber. Nope, she uses both. The last few mornings she has woken up a little sore/stiff. Well no shit, you have the equivalent of a small person laying on you all night.
Decades ago I slept at a friends house and the quilt in the guest room was heavy as all hell. I woke up in the morning in the exact same position I had fallen asleep in, and I felt fantastic. Weighted blankets are like a trip back in time to when blankets actually had some heft to them.
