š Okay, I've Hid My Phone
TikTok is back! First you must know I never used TikTok the entire time it's been around. Years and years went by and nope, never used it. I had friends, relatives beg me to go on, but I didn't budge. Facebook too. I went on for five minutes and found myself arguing with people I hardly knew in high school and quickly got off. I already was so tied to Instagram, and spent so much time on there and have such an addictive personality that I felt it was best that I just stayed away from all other social media. So, it was just Instagram for me.
Then two weeks ago my friend forwarded a tiktok to me about Blake Lively and I was so intrigued by the content that I went onā¦ Cut to like a week later and Iām a drug addict, cocaine? crack? Heroin? Nope, TikTok! I found myself so obsessed, so addicted, muting the TV, shows I love, just to continue watching videos on my phone. All my energy left my body, I couldn't muster up the motivation to get out of bed, or do chores, make lunch, literally do anything other than scroll. I felt zero inspiration to write, or talk on the phone, engage in the world.
Then the ban came, and I was like phew I just dodged a bullet and rehab! But as we all know, the ban was for a hot second (thanks to Trump, lol). I thought about my kids, everyoneās kids, society and me, and imagined, had I been on TikTok for the last 8 years, who would I even be now? I doubt Iād recognize me. Even while writing this now, the temptation to pick up my phone and scrollā¦
Four hours laterā¦. You guys, it's bad!
Okay, Iāve hid my phone from myself. I hid it right next to me on the couch where I can clearly see it. Iām letting you know just in case I forget where I hid it.
Alright, Letās get into everything thatās going onā¦
Useless Thoughts
Did you see the video, the filming of the slo-mo falling-in-love scene that JUSTIN BALDONI released proving no sexual harassment? I squirmed the whole time watching. Theyāre supposed to be looking and acting all lovey dovey, really into each other. In her lawsuit she claims he kept talking out of character, and sheās right, he did, but because BLAKE says letās talk in this scene. Let's talk! She once again takes over the directing and says I want to be talking while filming this scene. So, heās like okay, and so they talk. They have real conversations about a bunch of nothing, knowing weāll never hear them because it's a slo-mo scene and weāll just see their lips moving, etc. You can tell by the way heās talking heās trying not to talk too much, even telling her he and his wife sometimes donāt talk and will just stare at each other, clearly trying to get her on board, doing anything possible to move the scene along, get the shots he needs, but sheās incapable of not shutting up. So, he just lets her do her thing. Scene is done, he yells cut. Thatās it. No sexual harassment. No nothing! Just literally two people acting in love and dancing.
The fact that Blake is using this as a way to pretend she's been horribly harassed at work, completely mocking real women who are really and truly scared to speak up, is so cruel. Victims know what sexual harassment feels like. Living scared is traumatizing. Feeling threatened, like your job will be taken away, can give you shingles from stress and make you freak out about your livelihood. But after reading all his documents, she literally took over the script, the directing, the editing, the wardrobe and the premiere. She was not scared. Why she started all of this crazy, after everything she did is mind boggling.
Hereās a bunch of links for more of this insanity:
Regardless of the side you're on You can't in your right mind go public with such allegations and then get mad when the opposite team defends themselves publicly
Justin Baldoni is staying on the offensive... attempting to shoot down BlakeLively's allegation he sexually harassed her, by releasing raw video from It Ends WithUs
A deep dive into the most recent lawsuit against Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds
Blake reminds me of Trump. She uses his playbook. She and Ryan are like, āweāre so powerful, everyone should believe us.ā Like a mob boss. Like Trump! Heās big (well fat) and powerful. Says the same thing over and over again, with nothing to back it up, even after everything has been debunked with proof, he continues to keep repeating it over and over...They're eating the cats and dogs! Wait, what they are? We must investigate. Sorry Mr. President, we found out theyāre not eating any cats or any dogs. No one is missing a pet, no one has reported their animals eaten. Itās not happening. His responseā¦Theyāre eating the dogs! Theyāre eating the cats! Umm no theyāre not, it's been debunked. Trump; Theyāre eating the dogs & cats, and geese. Remind you of anyone? Knock Knock. Whoās there? Blake & Ryan digging their heels in.
Speaking of gangsters MELANIA got her hats and days mixed up. Her inauguration hat was actually for Lindsay Grahamās weekly show tunes parties, the theme, Guys and Dolls. But whatever, it saved her from having to kiss anyone, especially her husband. Next Weekās party. Hello Dolly! Hope there are pics! Cannot wait to see Lindsay walking down those stairs in a sparkly gown with a big feather ācoming outā of his head! Fabulous!
But what an inauguration! Not in attendance, Squad member ILHAN OMAR complaining about former democratic PRESIDENTS OBAMA & CLINTON attending. Saying they should have protested and not gone? No thanks! Just the opposite. Seeing them felt comforting. Like weāre just going to continue with civility and pretend this is normal, otherwise unhinged chaos would ensue. Even though we all know unhinged chaos is happening right as we speak. Iād rather play dress up and pretend for five more minutes because soon, itās going to get real bad, real fast.
Which reminds me of a quote :
Civility isnāt just some optional value in a multicultural multistate democratic republic. Civility is the key to civilization.

Thatās why I respect FETTERMAN. No not his ridiculous basketball shorts and hoodies, so cringe, so ridiculous, but yes because of his basketball shorts and hoodie, because no matter what, he shows up as himself. Whatcha see is whatcha get! No surprises!
There really were some great pics from the day. I think my favorite was LAUREN SANCHEZ, her boobs and MARK ZUCKERBERG! Fanfuckingtastik!
How bout ELON MUSK doing the Nazi salute? Was he? Wasn't he? You can call it whatever you want but itās definitely a Nazi salute, just google Hitler. Why does he do it? I have no idea. I think itās the weirdest thing Iāve ever seen anyone do at a podium sinceā¦Hitler.
Does it make me nervous because Iām jewish? No. But It makes me sad for the next generation. Really sad. Just sucks that Elon had to be such a loser. Mark Zuckerberg too. Imagine if these guys had been the funny smart happy kids in high school, ugh, everything would be so much better!
MICHELLE OBAMA didn't go, I get it. Sheās like I canāt, I already made plans to stick needles in my eyes. MIKE PENCEāS wife too, she didnāt go, but he did! Poor Mike Pence! Bless his little fly on his hair heart.
BILL AND HILL giggling the whole time. I hope they were stoned. I would be!
And GEORGE W always looks like heās on a class trip and trying real hard to be a good boy!
And Finally
The Oscar nominations are out and Iām bored. Who? What? Iāve seen nothing. Literally nothing. And thereās like a billion nominees now for best picture. No clue whatās going on. Bad me!! But Iām psyched Sebastian Stan was nominated. I like watching him. Iāll watch The Apprentice.
I hope Demi Moore wins. Been a stan since the 80s. Even though she thought she was just a popcorn actress, or popcorn movie actress, I don't know what sheās talking about? Does she mean she wasn't considered a serious actress? She always was a serious actress to me. If anything, this movie sheās nominated for, I think is a horror film, which I believe would make that a popcorn movie? Anyway, no one cares about genres anymore; comedy, thriller, romance, mystery, drama, if youāre good, youāre good, and youāre good! We like you! We really really like you!
TimothĆ©e Chalamet, glad for him, glad for us watching the Oscars, seeing Kylie, the drama, etc. Annoyed that Selena Gomez wasn't nominated, I like seeing her on the red carpet. Maybe sheāll go and present, then weāre fine. Yay, Angelina Jolie wasn't nominated! You know what we wouldāve gotten with her, bringing all those kids. I canāt.š Love Ariana Grande in everything. I think sheās brilliant. So, congrats and if I could Iād sprinkle little fairy dust all over her! But really this year, the only thing Iām looking forward to is Conan OāBrien hosting the Oscars. So sad Jimmyās not hosting. Heās been so amazing, but if I can't have Jimmy, Iāll gladly take Conan! Conan is always good! Conan is always funny! Always!
Until next time folks!
Andā¦Sorry you canāt unread this!
