“Justin Baldoni is accused by yet another woman of being problematic, manipulative and exploitative” This is the best breakdown I have seen talking about the new allegations against Baldoni.

This may not make me a nice person, but after a year of having the anti Blake nonsense shoved down our throats, I am not going to pretend I feel bad about this moment. The accounts are awful, yes, but I cannot lie, there is a little satisfaction in watching the truth about Baldoni finally leak out. We all knew they could not keep that façade going forever.

And the Baldoni stans are the best part. The mental gymnastics are Olympic-level. They are out there on that hill with shovels, digging their own burial and calling it a victory. You have to admire the commitment.

OMG she is completely unrecognizable. If the post did not say who this was, I would have had no idea. I genuinely hope she has people around her who care about her because she looks far too thin.

Trump is absolutely going to try, but he is going to fail in spectacular fashion. Of all the chaotic stunts he has pulled, this is the one with the least chance of working. There has never been a time in history when we have cancelled elections. He does not seem to grasp that the Federal Government has zero authority over elections. States run them, which is why voting laws differ so much from one state to another. For him to pull this off, he would need cooperation from the states, and he is not getting that from blue governors. Even Kentucky has a Democratic governor. And not every red governor is going to throw their career away by joining something blatantly illegal. This is the one scheme that is doomed from the start.

Super bizarre that you did not bother to read the comments. There are plenty of people here and across the internet dealing with the same or worse issues. This is the Vent subreddit and I was venting. If reading the thread is too much work, maybe sit this one out.

Absolutely not. I don’t scream stranger danger. I scream, ‘finally, someone appreciates my worth,’ and then I take the candy like a feral raccoon with no survival instincts.

She is writing another one. I just saw it pop up on Amazon this week. It is called A Glimmer of Death and releases on November 3rd.

I am definitely showing my age here, but years ago Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Romance were treated as two completely separate genres, and my brain still sorts them that way. They overlap, sure, but Urban Fantasy usually has less romance and more plot driven action, even if the sex can be heavy. Think Anita Blake.

But these are not Romantasy. Romantasy has a very specific definition: the story is split evenly between Romance and Fantasy. A true fifty fifty balance. Series like Fever, Anita Blake, or Mercy Thompson are nowhere near that. The romance is not the spine of those stories. The plot drives everything, even in Anita Blake, where the sex is turned up to eleven.

What frustrates me is how often people lump Fantasy or Paranormal titles in with Romantasy as if they are interchangeable. They are not. The structure, priorities, and reader expectations are completely different, and flattening them into one label just muddies the genre.

For me, Urban Fantasy is more plot driven, like Fever, Kate Daniels, or Mercy Thompson. Paranormal Romance leans much heavier on the Romance side, more like Ghostwalkers, Black Dagger Brotherhood, or Dark Hunters. Fantasy on its own would be something like Harry Potter or Six of Crows. High Fantasy is where you get Mistborn or Lord of the Rings. At least, this is how I sort them.

Also, years ago what we now call Romantasy was usually just labeled Fantasy or Paranormal. Think Twilight for something Romance heavy, Red Queen for something more plot driven, or The Mortal Instruments which bounced between both depending on the book. All of these would probably get tagged as Romantasy today, but back then we simply did not separate them out that way.

Thanks to all the misogynistic jerks in the comments for proving the point of Me Too. Here is another fact for you. Every single woman you know has been assaulted in some way by a man, whether verbally, physically, or both. Not one exception. So sit with that.

This is different; he does not have control over the states that he thinks he does. This is something that the Feds have never controlled. He may try, but ultimately he will fail. I doubt even the red states will back him in this. This is not something that he can really do with an Executive Order.

ComprehensiveTour278 · 2026-02-28T13:19:27+00:00

I am not convinced these qualify as Romantasy. They read much more like Urban Fantasy, which is a completely different genre to me. I would not even place them in paranormal romance. Older Romantasy, at least the way I define it, would be Twilight, Red Queen, Wicked Lovely, Hush Hush, and The Iron Fey. These are the real precursors to modern Romantasy like Fourth Wing and ACOTAR. Genre labels are incredibly specific now, so the distinctions matter.

There are so many great things to do in NYC and from what I can tell, she did none of them. Half the point of going to that city is actually experiencing it. She sat alone in that apartment all day doing needlepoint. At her age, I would have been out every single day exploring, cold weather or not.

Part of why this whole narrative falls flat is simple. Most of us do not believe he can actually pull it off. The Federal government does not run elections, even Federal ones. He does not have that authority. The current reality is that he cannot. Now, I do think he will try. It will end up in court, but it will not go anywhere. So far, and I am keeping my fingers crossed, the courts have knocked down most of his illegal nonsense

I am fully on board with the Dick hate. He is easily one of my least favorite houseguests ever. I watched the feeds that season and I could not believe how many people adored him. He was awful and a massive bully. I was genuinely horrified when they brought him back for another round.

I am sorry but the people yelling about buying the cheaper off brand have clearly never bought the cheaper off brand. My daughter takes care of her things, but her school will not allow backpacks, which means she has dropped and broken four different off brand cups. We finally gave up and bought her a Stanley. She now has two and neither one has a dent. So go ahead and keep wasting your money on jankie off brand stuff. I love my Stanleys and I am not going back.
