Am hearing that Brentwood, prestigious private school in LA, is in chaos after almost zero white seniors got into to UC schools. When friends went there in happier times, UC acceptance was like 80%. This year, bipoc kids only.
Parents who spent $60K/yr+ for 6 years little upset
Cry more. No mercy. They made their bed. Enjoy Santa Monica Community, rich kids!
UCLA got over 200,000 applications. SAT no longer required, so every D average kid now has a shot, and took it.
Good news: Many of the smart kids who didn't get in can get jobs as tutors for the kids who did.

The styles may change but a few things remain the same. The American It Girl is sexy but not trashy, fresh faced, and radiates *happiness.* She is not a moody French ingenue, or a sultry Italianate seductress. She looks relatively innocent - and fun to be around. She is an old-fashioned Platonic ideal and we are allowed to idolize them.
Here's Adam Pestrello, the County Public Works bureaucrat who said on video that removal will take 18 months - and that Karen Bass lied about in front of President Trump.
Oy veh. Two hours of a dozen California nitwits dancing around the bad news.
Here's my tldr so far: Palisades homeowners aren't going to be able to do a single thing until the EPA completes their Phase 1 "hazardous waste" removal process. This, acc to the EPA Karen, will take "months."
Once all your "hazardous waste" has been removed, then comes Phase 2, which entails the Army Corps of Engineers bulldozing your lot. Again, you will be waiting in a long line for a group of homeowners to be assigned a contract. Yes, you can opt out of debris removal and do it yourself! According to loser Rep. Brad Sherman, this will cost roughly $170k.
Karen Bass said you would be able to start clearing the lots "today."
Sometimes in the battle between good and evil physiognomy alone tells you more than any words can
We see this again and again. It's like a comic book come to life, repeatedly.
One of my favorites was when hideous hobgoblin Jerry Nadler forced Hope Hicks to submit to his questions under oath.
We also saw this when battleax bull d*ke Roberta Kaplan forced Donald Trump to submit to her questions about why he wasn't attracted to her client, E. Jean Carroll.
Just the same trope, over and over. Amazing actually.
Guys, stop bashing Kim Cheatle: she totally thought about putting snipers on that roof, but it’s a sloped roof, so she didn’t want anyone to slip and fall, okay? SAFETY FIRST!
My siblings and I, all grown, nearly middle aged, all basically stable and fine, talk all the time about our own lost potential, stolen childhood happiness, and accepting that were were robbed of something good that was replaced with an endless burden of hostile stepfamilies, awkward relationships, stolen inheritances, squandered wealth, and always wondering what it would have been like if it had been different.
I have a wonderful relationship with both parents. I forgive everything. It's fine. But wow, there were a lot of bombshells that still stress me out.
In my particular situation, one party had no choice but to end it. The lesson I learned is simple: try hard to avoid choices that might hurt your kids.
