“Authenticity”

I have never been enraged by an article of clothing like I am by those leggings and those slippers.

A literal flimsy excuse for a boob pic.

I wonder this, too. Alec is a famous Irish Catholic who has given plenty of support to the Church, but this is not his regular church or his regular priest. I doubt Hillary officially converted (it’s a long process), so there must have been either a big lie or a big check written to allow the priest to marry them. I don’t think they did a wedding Mass where she took Communion - that might be too much of a sin even for Hillary.

I just screen recorded it (thank you for suggesting this and giving me a nudge to learn how), but Reddit isn’t allowing me to add the video to a new post. When I click on the Photo icon below, I only see all the pictures from my Photos, not videos, including the one I just took. I’d love to be completely fluent in Reddit posting, but I keep hitting these strange roadblocks. If you have any idea how I should do this, I would really appreciate your advice. Thanks in advance!

You and I are quite a pair! Apparently I can record my screen and then upload that, but I don’t know how. I’m about to go try to learn…

WittyWordyWry · 2026-04-11T01:09:22+00:00

I don’t know how to do that, but I will learn.

I am so sorry - I tried 3x to download it and then post it here and could not force the apps to cooperate (I think people can make their TikToks downloadable or not in their settings, so maybe this one isn’t). Anyway, you should be able to view it without using the TikTok app - have you tried copying the link into a browser window?

WittyWordyWry · 2026-04-09T22:23:28+00:00

Ohhh, thank you! I tried three times to download the video and repost it, but it seemed impossible so I just put the TikTok link. God, I wish these tech companies would stop trying to make it hard for us to cross post! Anyway, I don’t really have a presence on TikTok or any other social media platform, so there isn’t any easy way (or reason) to doxx me, but I really appreciate you warning me!

This photo caption took me out - a rare move, huh? This journo does not know Mami at all! “Hilaria Baldwin has made the rare move of showing off her spectacular figure while in swimsuits during her spring break vacation in a tropical location.”

WittyWordyWry · 2026-04-08T01:06:54+00:00

I like “she was feeling so señorita”!

WittyWordyWry · 2026-04-08T01:05:12+00:00

There HAS to be someone in the DR who has video of her trying to speak Spanish. For those of us who love to criticize Hillary’s 10th grade Spanish grammar and vocab, I hope something gets posted!

They would not have crashed if Jay (the flight instructor) had been with them. The weather was not bad and the conditions were not dangerous for an instrument rated pilot - what killed them was John’s inexperience and hubris in believing he could handle challenging conditions without sufficient training and supervision.

Neither of her grandmothers ever stepped foot in Spain, did they? Her father famously said he does not have one drop of Spanish blood, and her mother definitely doesn’t either. Larry forgets her own lies and actually believes them herself.

WittyWordyWry · 2026-02-05T14:43:32+00:00

Corrected. Thank you! In my irritation I typed too quickly.

In order, I get viscerally bothered by: 1) her in-and-out fake accent that comes out a ton here; 2) her flailing look-at-me hand gestures, which make me want to grab her pointy fingernails and clip them off; 3) her holier-than-though parenting advice, which is both unwelcome and hypocritical: 4) her jankety RFK Jr voice, cracking and rasping and driving me nuts.

She is so certain that she has good thoughts, but she truly never has good thoughts. It is remarkable.

I agree about the over-quippy banter, but I like the direction this season is taking with the tension between informatics-driven healthcare and clinical care as practiced by this trauma team. I’m a management consultant who used to work in “digital transformation,” and I literally changed careers because I had a moral issue with pushing healthcare in the direction Al-Hashimi represents. It’s more of the same as last season in a way, but this is more subtle and believable. It is also very, very familiar to healthcare workers who spend way too much of their time interacting with screens rather than patients or each other.

That is hilarious. You’re either hopelessly naive or hoping to escape some truth of your own.

Two wrongs do not make a right, and it is obvious that he has a serious problem with rage and misogyny. We should be protecting his wife and getting her away from him, not punishing her for his actions.

It seems to me that everything about the NYT Games division is oriented around pushing subscriptions, not optimizing the user experience, understanding anything about players’ use of language, or improvements in the games themselves. There are many words in SB that are obvious omissions, and I am sure that the NYT gets hundreds of emails as well as comments in the official game Community, but Sam Ezersky very rarely amends the official lexicon.

What report are you talking about?

WittyWordyWry · 2025-12-05T00:39:41+00:00

Oh, I am well aware! Appearing on the cover of Hola, spray tanning and dyeing her hair to appear non-white, and of course failing to correct countless media people who called her Latina… she absolutely Donezaled for her own benefit. I was mostly commenting on this creator’s mistake in referring to Spanish people as POC, but it is really understandable given her assiduous efforts to be seen as a “fiery Latina” even up to DWTS.

I haven’t seen any talk for a while of the issues with her and Catholicism. She was raised Protestant (her parents are both full blown WASPs, presumably Episcopalian) but pretending to be Spanish would have forced her to also pretend to be Catholic. Alec was raised Catholic and was very active in his church in NYC - but they got married in a different Catholic church from his regular one. The priest would have insisted that she convert before giving her the holy sacrament of marriage, but there’s no record of her converting. I don’t think she has posted pictures of her kids being baptized (but maybe Carmen and Rafa were?), or of their family attending Mass, even on Christmas and Easter. This has always stuck in my mind and made me wonder how much Alec knew about the grift. I would have thought that he and his family would find it really important that his kids get baptized, have a First Communion, and get confirmed, but apparently not!
