    Ladies, if you had a personal trainer, dance trainer, recovery coach, personal assistant, and a nanny who traveled with you and it was not only *your job* but *their* job to keep you in shape - you'd look like that at 50, too. You're doing just fine.

    I'm sorry, I thought this was America.

    Ugh. This is so so so destructive to public trust.

    I have sooooo many pro choice friends whom I love. It is heartbreaking and instructive to see their response to the news with truly radical opinions. The window has moved. "Safe. Legal. Rare." To: "Abortions Anytime. Anywhere. For any reason. For anyone."

    So, why is this news? I have nothing against the kid or his activism at all. I also have a daughter who is a senior and is making choices about next year, it does not deserve CNN coverage even though I think she's way cooler than all other seniors because I am biased.

    Why we can't have nice things. (This person did not buy an AR-15, did not fill out any paper work and did not go through the required background checks. He literally looked at a gun, then said, 'meh, maybe I'll get it later' and left before filling out paperwork and purchasing)

    Interrupting a play because u don't like the content is as stupid as being an actor and lecturing a member of the audience after a musical.

    Oh great. Watching FB people discuss how "white people" want to open up the country "now that they've found black & brown people are more at risk" for COVID. So... you only want to open up the country because you're racist or something. Dang. Our political discourse is broken.

    Interesting: WaPo is advertising the libsoftiktok story. Do they typically pay to boost individual stories on here?
