I love an animal print, so I love Jennifer Lawrence’s coat. [LaineyGossip]
Anya Taylor Joy wore Dior to The Gorge premiere. I’m kind of meh on this? I wish it wasn’t a minidress, it might have been cuter at knee-length. [RCFA]
Colleen Hoover removed all of her IG posts about Blake Lively & Justin Baldoni. Which makes sense, given all of the lawsuits. [Buzzfeed]
What is this Nancy Mace mess? [Jezebel]
How to keep your sanity in this awful timeline. [Pajiba]
Another season of Full Swing is coming – it’s amazing how Netflix completely bungled their tennis series, Break Point. [JustJared]
Jack Schlossberg explains his weird social media moves. [Socialite Life]
An explainer for ASAP Rocky’s criminal case. [Hollywood Life]
Drew Barrymore & Ke Huy Quan had crushes on each other. [Seriously OMG]
Cheap looking.
Looks like a sheet. Also, enough of Any a Taylor Joy. She’s not that good of an actress and she’s weird looking
Rafaia. 5000 $$ spring collection animal print coat
This is printed calf hair. Gross. My grandmother had the real thing, and a matching hat. Even worse.
They make the same coat out of lamb leather. Equally gross.
Not a fan of animal prints. Too much of a drinking cocktails with umbrellas in Boca Rotan with Phyllis Diller vibe.
You say that like it’s a bad thing? Cocktails in Boca (ok, yes. Florida sucks. Change it to the Bora Bora) with Phyllis sounds like a hoot.
Re: how to keep your sanity at this terrible time, I strongly suspect that waiting for American public to turn on Trump’s terrible domestic policies won’t work, because by that time he’ll have us in a war. That’s how Putin and Netanyahu and others deal with poor domestic performance.
Longer length would have made Anya’s dress look like a dress. As it is; she looks like she’s holding up a bath towel
Nancy Mace is, once again, lying through her teeth. She’s been caught in so many whoppers that she’s now attempting to play herself as some kind of poor victim. Just 2 years ago she was pro-transgender rights. Now she’s vilifying them and calling them mentally ill. She criticized Trump after Jan. 6 but now grovels at his feet for attention. She needs to be sectioned.
yeah, the fact that she made her allegations in an hour-long speech on the floor of the house claiming that doing so as such makes her statements “legislative act” so she is exempt from facing any legal consequences is very telling. This makes me wonder if the investigation into her claims by SLED that’s been going on for over a year isn’t going her way and/or if this is just a stunt to help her (and hurt her potential opponent) in a bid for governor of SC.
Of course the faux victim hotline is just the icing on the cake
Love animal print! This coat is ok, but Carolyn Bessette Kennedys was better!
I kind of liked the coat from the side, but from the front the collar looks like a dog’s ears.
Anna Taylor Joy always looks so antiseptic to me – like a disinfected plastic doll.
As for “how to keep your sanity” – I agree, doom scrolling is counterproductive. Once a day I take a look at whatthefuckjusthappenedtoday.com, which summarizes exactly what it says, and then I move on. But I don’t entirely agree about “biding one’s time” – midterms are coming up and we need to be prepared.
Does *Jezebel* not appreciate why “manning” is the worst possible word choice, especially in this context? Staffing or servicing are far preferable.
In a bid to keep my sanity: I finally told my brother to stop forwarding me all these newsletters he subscribes to + just keep forwarding the Heather Cox Richardson one. It’s not that I don’t agree with these people, but it’s just too much.
Even the “keep your sanity” + “this is what you can do to support your community” + “this is how you can fight back” advice is all just too much.
I did make calls to my shitty wishy-washy Republican congressman, but
Maybe it’s because my husband of 35 years died a few months ago after long illness and Medicare was great support. Maybe it’s because my dad was career Army (30 years active + 10 in Civil Service focusing on NATO). Maybe it’s because my spinster aunt had a good life in civil service, retiring as Executive Secretary for the Postmaster General. Maybe it’s because my family lives in DC area and mostly work in government or non-profit jobs in the arts, education, environment. Maybe it’s because I’m not a monster, but
I am just worn out.
@Martha, I am so very sorry for your loss. And just for…all of it. It’s a shitty shitty time and it is so hard trying to stay informed but also maintain some shred of hope for the future.
Thank you. For some reason your comment brought the old Beatles chestnut, Helter Skelter, to mind (but I absolutely don’t wanna analyze it!)
“When I get to the bottom
I go back to the top of the slide,
And I stop and I turn and I go for a ride,
And I get to the bottom, and I see you again.
Helter Skelter.”
