Ask yourself why a man of that age, experience, career status, wealth & power would be interested in a woman 30+ yrs younger without any of those things.
They werenโt bonding over shared experiences. He wanted someone whoโd be grateful for his gifts & โhelpโ so he could get what HE wanted.
Multiple things can be true simultaneously. She was a young woman w/agency. He was 30+ yrs older (life experience, wealthier, powerful, had exposure & access a young journalist would envy & could use to grow her own career).
You can hold her responsible for choices & judge him for exploiting her.
Advised by a reporter who KNEW he was guilty of soliciting a minorโat the least.
So, letโs see how many news stations continue to bring Michael Wolff on the air and who has the courage to demand answers about this email instead of just giving him promo time for his books.
If you arenโt calling these people to scream at them not to fucking cave, what are you even doing?
Trump is fighting in court for people on SNAP to go hungry. Rs have EXPLICITLY stated they will NOT extend the ACA subsidies and the Ds are going to fucking cave & lose the only leverage they have?
Iโm so sorry for your loss. Grief is a long & winding road. Take care of yourself.

Absolutely agree that French toast should be cooked through. Soggy texture is gross.
But brioche makes the best French toast. White bread is typically too absorbent and flimsy.
Like any tool, it doesnโt work well in every application. It may be phenomenally useful in some scientific/engineering functions but utterly useless in others.
The money & energy weโre wasting in pursuit of this tech as the solution to โeverythingโ is disgusting and articles like this donโt help.
This article is filled w/disingenuous arguments & justifications for these companies to ruin art & culture.
โWell, if the janitor working in an AI factory isnโt paid more than any other janitor, why should a poet be paid for their written work. Thatโs discriminatory. โ
AI is a tool.
We had fantastic pizza in Parma, served from a little window while walking on the outskirts of townโnot a restaurant. Itโs a beautiful little town.
We were there in February years ago.
Also visited Maranello. IYKYK. ๐๏ธ

Whale watching from a Zodiac boat (orcas literally swam right under our 10 person inflatable boat).
Doubtful Sound in New Zealand.
It means, we wish American soldiers were refusing unlawful orders like the murder of Venezuelans our military is perpetrating for the โcrimeโ of operating a boat.

Really despised Carrellโs character and most of Anistonโs character storylines. Just perpetual โvictimsโ with no accountability.
Why in the hell will I be watching another season??
Patiently waiting for all the โfree speechโ conservatives & TwitterFiles conspiracy nuts to condemn this bullshit from Clay Higgins.
Also, Mr. Higgins is an idiot that doesnโt realize Jay Graber is a woman. Heโs also a suck up trying to score points by including Trump Media. Pathetic.
Interesting but Iโm glad thatโs your experience. For me, itโs a struggle every time they reinvent/redesign the UI to โimproveโ things for users.
Just now, it took me so many clicks just to find the Books Review/trx without payee screen and it took forever to load the results.
UmโฆIโm gonna need you to be more specific. What do you think is better?

They are destroying the product and driving away its users. So maddening.
Can you explain how this bill โhelps Wall Street fleece the working classโ?
Neither of your links say anything remotely similar (and in fact donโt criticize the billโs intent). So, what exactly is your issue with the bill?
REPORTER: Should Israel be doing more to allow food in Gaza?
TRUMP: Say it?
R: Should Israel be doing more to allow food?
T: What is she saying?
SOMEONE: Should Israel be doing more to allow food in Gaza?
T: You really at least want to have somebody say thank you. We gave $60m for food for Gaza
Itโs absolutely asinine they refuse to make this available after so many years of intense demand & itโs far from the only example that would radically improve the ability of users to better serve their customers & analyze their own data. They donโt want to make the product better. They want more $$.
24.07.2025 22:21 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0One single example: the ability to print the Class field on an invoice. You can input it on the invoice but there is no way to print it for the customer and accountants and users have been asking for that for Iโm guessing 10+ years according to thousands of Google search results.

Itโs not helpful, most of their improvements suck and they refuse to fix things their accountant users have been begging for for years.
Someone learning art history, archaeology, journalism or marketing wonโt help a single person in my community but those courses have major value elsewhere in the US/world & I support them because Iโm not a bigoted narcissist who thinks my opinions are the most important indicator of value. ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ๐๐ป

My community is extremely small but the ppl that live here (and those who visit) believe in all sorts of education.
Oh, okay. So a course taught by a Black woman about race that youโve not experienced yourself is automatically presumed to โblame whiteyโ as its syllabus and because it wonโt help YOUR community (in your opinion), it has no value whatsoever in a capitalist society. Did I understand you correctly?

Who is this โwhole generationโ that canโt read at grade level? What kind of dystopian fantasy are you living in?
Also, education is most effective when it reaches people where they are & how they learn. One size fits all w/education is how we got hereโwhere ppl canโt distinguish fact from fiction.
They havenโt paid themselves in 2025 but havenโt filed 2024 income taxes, yet.
Would you prepare 2024 deducting the โwagesโ even though they shouldnโt be and just consider the withholding & FICA to offset the SE tax even though they donโt exactly equal out?
