This is the best update we could possibly see. You are a damn hero, and I don't know that I've ever felt prouder as a gym fan since the ancient days.
The script you're re-writing will empower literal millions. What a gift to us all xo

You seem to be under the total misunderstanding that young people are, by virtue of that age, ignorant. Not so. There are some little ones who reflect with greater care and are capable of far more nuanced thought than many I know in their 50's.

I was 13 when the Port Arthur massacre happened, & 14 when our conservative Prime Minister (who sucked in all other areas) completely overhauled our country's gun leg. There's never been a mass shooting since. Forever grateful for that leadership, hopeful you will find yours xo

This is a dumb comparison bc you're allowed to walk on them, as opposed to the Mayan ruins which have CLEAR and express directions that they are not to be walked on. Not to mention the massive disparity in age.
I need all my American friends to know that the use of John Farnham's seminal classic You're The Voice in this video immediately makes it the greatest political ad of all time and you better APPRECIATE Australia's greatest treasure letting you use it. YES, KAMALA HQ!

Nope. If he were just giving an Independent Senator's view, that would be fine. But he is running for the Democratic ticket. THAT'S why this is problematic. Wanting all the benefits of the party org, whilst disrespecting it.

She. Doesn’t. Have. To. Do. Shit.
No one tells other people to stop. We’re still hearing from Bernie about what led to him losing the PRIMARY, ffs.
Sam Frost thinks HER mental health is more important than the impact she has on the mental health of countless others, who are impacted by her choice, which based on her statements, is NOT a medically necessary one.
Save your white tears about how hard it is to be unvaccinated.
@georgjar
Ugh, it's so rough. I'm in my late 30's, running out of time if I ever want to meet someone & have a family with them. It's stressful & shitty.
But then, what's the alternative? My friends O/S may be going out but they're also seeing many more people they know v ill or dead.
@clairlemon
Well, no.
It has happened to me, it has happened to my sister, it has happened to several women of my acquaintance.
Bully for you that you that this hasn't been YOUR experience, but please don't disrespect the experience of others in this manner.
@albericie
This is a bad idea on virtually every level. From privacy concerns to potential exposure to retaliation for sexual identity, to the potential for abuse of power on behalf of staff.
I would like to remind every victim out there who is being deeply traumatised by this line of questioning that there are people who believe you.
And this isn't even the criminal trial. This is a CIVIL examination of the case. My god, this is heinous.

Simone Biles is unparalleled by her peers, or frankly, by the men competing. This is why she wins this argument, every single time. She is a once in a lifetime athlete, gymnastics fans know we're witnessing history that won't likely be repeated in a millennia.

I always interpreted it as Kylie feeling personally betrayed by the whole thing, not so much that it's actually *about* Tristan. Like, if your best friend doesn't fess up to you with the truth and you hear it from other sources, I'd feel betrayed.
Let’s just be crystal clear that

There is literally zero evidence that shows that inflicting physical violence as punishment prevents this type of behaviour tho.

That is his job. Which he is paid for. Should he get a medal or something? What you don't seem to understand is that people can be more than one thing at once. You can care about people, and ALSO make job-disqualifying, ignorant statements.
I just want athletes impacted by what is going on at

I want them to know they deserve nothing less than a completely supportive environment free of micro-aggression. We got you xo

Where the 'Gladys has been lured in' narrative falls over for me is that she maintained the relationship for 2 years after demanding he resign for his corruption. It's a little hard to feign ignorance at THAT point.
@WestCoastFever
This statement is legit trash. Way to pass agg blame the Vixens, who'd have at BEST had to compete with no bench.
Honestly, this sucks SO hard and at a time when you as a club probably need some goodwill from the fanbase, this ain't it.
@AngryBlackLady
I think the appropriateness REALLY tips it over from general positive feelings to a deep joy. Reminds us Keanu is and always has been a real one.
@GinaIppy
More broadly, TV suffered since the death of the 22 ep season. You NEED time for character connection & growth, for the room to have absurdist format breaking eps like musicals & puppets, or alt universes, or frankly just a flop filler ep, all of which make those shows lived in.

What she is going right now, in not competing when it is unsafe, only cements her GOAT status further. This comment says far more about you than it does her.
Knowing your own worth is not cocky.
When will anyone remember that Braz is the mother of a newborn? Let’s respect the absolute gut wrenching she is experiencing being away from them. Just because she wasn’t the birthing parent doesn’t mean she hasn’t sacrificed.
TBC, I obviously am in awe of Grets but just a note.
I can’t express how much of a genuine bummer to me it is that inappropriate use of power dynamics towards a fan has led to the bright, shining light that is

Unpopular opinion, but Phaedra was dead wrong here. She’s treating this like Housewives, not a comp show, & it’s VERY clear the only way for Dan to save himself was to throw out a Traitor’s name. I didn’t like how personal she went, & it’s exactly the issue I had w her on RHOA
@raventbrunner
I think it is pretty rough to shame other cast members who are unconnected from these allegations and intimate hat they're complicit if they don't quit their jobs. They are not responsible for this, and weren't cast by the people responsible either.

Having a male host means that this is not an all female discussion, which you're acutely aware of. Also, stop w. the ridiculous false equiv.

RAG’s husband & stepson were absolutely beside themselves courtside post-game, I can only imagine how hard the many koves have been on them as a family. I told him I hope he was proud of her, and that I was as an opposition supporter.

Jo Harten displayed extraordinary leadership and self awareness in that down time between the game and overtime play last night. She pulled herself, I am positive. Incredible courage and lack of ego.

Clocking off after months of phone banks, door knocks and convos. Whatever happens, I know I’ve done my bit. I hope to see a nation I’m proud of tonight, but if I don’t, the work continues anew tomorrow.

I'm feeling super emo about the Simone announcement. Like, I felt the return in my waters, but didn't dare to dream. I am SO THRILLED for this woman. She deserves the world, and to know what she had to have overcome to get here, I just... no words. Just all the warm fuzzy vibes.

Lolllll it's not the softness. There are plenty of burger buns with a crunch. It's the fact it's in a round bun and topped with burger toppings. A burger, everywhere except America, is a round bun with a protein source and toppings. A sandwich has bread slices.

I have no doubt you will experience flaming for this from those unwilling or unable to put down their partisan weapons, but I have to tell you as a non-American watching the last few years in your nation peeking through my hands in horror, this is such a relief to see.
Just to be clear, I would feel this rage if ANY team was in this position, based on the comparable punishment for far more egregious breaches. ESPECIALLY given the WA border circumstances and all of the uncertainty wrought by same.

She literally said Suni doesn’t have a gymnast’s body, and mentioned coming second with 2 falls. So yeah, she very much did. She also said what you’ve quoted here, but that’s not the bit that’s inciting outrage.
@brianjoralvarez
Legitimately the only time an American doing an Aussie accent has not triggered me. You and Kate Winslet, you're the only non-Aussies allowed. And she's kind of cheating, so you are the King here.

Oh no girl there are egregious examples of this with Simone, but this floor result ain’t one of them. The triple double valuation is pretty in line with score escalation, and it makes the genuine arg re: the double double off beam get lost in the shuffle.
