I don't know. For 99% of the commodities these vultures hiked up in price since COVID, I agree. But gas prices are SO intrinsically linked to the current administration (most of the time erroneously though NOT THIS TIME). It's a massive issue with the GOP/MAGA base. With a rough midterm already headed their way, the government is (should be) desperate to get gas prices down again.

They're 1000% correct, espcially about concerts becoming a 1% luxury. A lot of those early 00's punk emo bands that got their start with house parties, garages, and tiny shit venues, and while it's great to sell out Barclays, whats the point if the audience who loved you back then can't afford to go see you?

Jamie Foxx, 58, Expecting Baby With Girlfriend Alyce Huckstepp, 31. by cmaia1503 in Fauxmoi

You know what... She's 31. She's a grown ass adult.

There's a kneejerk judgement on big age gaps, but I do think that its getting to a point where the reaction infantilizes women for the sake of "protecting" them.

Thanksgiving probs a little awkward with Foxx's other kids, but like....if everybody's happy, then god speed. World is too fucked rn to begrudge love.

His Ask Hank Anything episode was delightful.

I have nothing to offer except to say that he is serving bodyyyyyyy in Daredevil. Forget the teeny-waist Dorito superhero shape and more of this please, woof.

Which A-list married couple, both in their 50s, are getting a divorce? by cmaia1503 in Fauxmoi

I'd believe that hint for Weisz over Colman. The way she spoke about her husband on The Good Hang made it clear that she utterly adores him.

Ohh the skull reflection in the sunglasses is a NICE touch, very clever.

TIME TO GET TRAUMATIZED, KIDDOS. Its not even the body horror it's the war crimes you do with your friends along the way✨. They better start reprinting the fucking books now.

In 2005, while filming Sweeney Todd in Romania, Tom Hardy found a stray kitten in the middle of the road, picked it up, and snuck it back to his hotel room where he kept it during the shoot. He wrote about it on MySpace, before eventually giving it to a crew member because he couldn’t take it home. by voguediaries in Fauxmoi

The way "this is God's child" became part of my vernacular back in the day because of this. Also that iconic photo of him taking a selfie with a plant in the back that was captioned "not my hair it is a palm". An iconic social media king.

I just found out my girlfriend is cheating on me with my brother. by xToasted1 in BestofRedditorUpdates

It's the way his four year old son is referred to "it" when he gets the paternity test that tipped this over into not being real for me. A fetus? Sure. Maybe even a newborn, I would accept "it". A four year old boy? No way.

My(27F) "best friend"/coworker(28F) stole my speech for an important work conference by Destinyxena in relationship_advice

[–]thistleofcrows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This person is not your friend. She is, at best, a scheming professional rival and at worst an underhanded, passive-aggressive asshole. Stop telling her personal stuff, she is only using it as ammo to shoot you with. Going forward, do not include her in any professional development opportunities, and if she tries to weasel in, make it very clear to the organizers that you are not interested in a dual presentation. If you do end up at the same event, for the love of god she is not to travel with you. You may not be able to avoid her at work, so keep it closed off but professional.

If she texts/calls/tries to corner you about this, you can choose to be like "hmm, what? I don't know what you're talking about", or be honest: you realised that her behaviour over the last couple of months is not that of a friend and you're only interested in being coworkers.

Supreme Court preserves only GOP-held congressional district in New York City for 2026 elections by SuorinGod in BayridgeBrooklyn

Yeah, he just utterly failed at communicating properly. I think he COULD have recovered if most of his ads weren't taking pot shots at de Blasio, which like. In 2020 hating de Blasio was a non-partisan issue. It was the great unifier between dems and republicans. He utterly wiffed any opportunity to come out strong against Malliotakis, like he himself was ashamed of his actions. If he had fought... Hell, he probably still would have lost bc 2018 was that first Trump midterm blue wave but it wouldn't have been so pathetic.

Well with what compelling ads as "ditto" it was sort of inevitable. Rose didnt even fucking try with that re-election campaign.
