Yes, and that everything’s potentially if not actually culpable now.

It’s such a drag.

Who’s policing? I think it’s a pretty good general summation of how this works.

And that everything’s tabloid and yellow journalism now.

That’s what always bothers me about the latest sex-panics and tabloid sex scandals (like Swalwell) because they deputize so many people to go absolutely nuts with the outrage and self-righteousness. It’s almost like they’re overjoyed at the news.

Alleve, and maybe wrap it in an Ace bandage. Keep off it.

That’s basically what a doctor would do unless it was something else. But yeah, that’s the problem. If it swells badly try Urgent Care just to see what it is. $200 bucks maybe.

There was no longer any compunction against raising tuition. Same with public colleges.

Student loans were unheard of until the late 70s. They also used to be in the parents’ name. It became no-holds-barred when the kids were made responsible for them. There was no pushback.

That’s not what happened. They cut funding but didn’t take it away.

No, the root cause of this was when these institutions saw the easy availability of student loan money. Combined with the constant bureaucratic need to expand, the nightmare began.

Look at the # of administrators now re: 1975 say.

Most Americans like Harry, but think she’s a self-promoting phony.

Great. Then let them stay quiet about it. But she especially will not.

That’s kind of their job, no?

The other two said they hate the public’s eye but then they won’t stay out of the public’s eye.

Don’t they hold some kind of public office whether you like them or not?

The other two chose to leave it and the camera’s glare — but they never left.

Big difference.

In California it was the GOP long after Reagan (who only instituted 90 dollar fees when governor), and then a tremendously expanding bureaucracy. Along with easy student loans to help justify it all.

No.1 blame is the greedy colleges.

Because they’re not just going about their lives!

They’re blatant self-promoters and she whines about everything. She complains about being in the limelight as she’s goes out of her way to put herself in the limelight!

It’s obvious he regrets much of this. But he’s not the boss.

Why in the world are so many people on Bluesky defending this couple —especially her?

They’re blatant self-promoters and it’s obvious that he’s starting to regret his voluntary California isolation.

They market themselves as this. She especially.

You’re not correct.

Then they should stay out of our faces.

Apparently so.

Nowadays it seems that so many “progressives” are like the way right-wingers have always been — they have a need to put lots of people in jail.

Isn’t he stuck for the support as well? Possibly all of it in some jurisdictions.

Also, why is she relying on the man for her interest in a child. He could have also been sincere in the beginning and then got turned off to her — which would be no surprise!

They’re all like this now. You’re never sure what the point or complaint is — except to blame everything.

Imagine being this woman’s kid too and knowing she thinks this way.

I thought the male gaze was supposed to be bad. This is OK?

It also meant to hang with.

Actually, I think they mean cultures = races. And #22 is inaccurate, whatever it’s saying.

“Business” and “journalist” has always had a strange ring to it.

Oh ok. Thanks.

And all on a completely voluntary basis. So who cares about these people.

One great thing about growing up in California is that we have great educational opportunities but without all the pretense.

The fact that “content creators” and “influencers” were involved in this latest sex scandal gives me even less confidence in its authenticity, sorry.

As well as having a “strategy,” which indicates a serious, admitted lack of objectivity.

How often do you hear a bodega in NYC referred to as a corner store?

I never have. I’ve heard, “That bodega on the corner,” but never just the other.

I hate the guy, but nothing he said also indicates that he’s never been in one.

A couple boomer questions about this:

What is “competency porn” ( don’t get the idea of this), and,

Is this kind of thinking really considered to be that novel?
