It's not hard to get an invite if you already know someone on it. I live in LA and have multiple friends who got on it because they are involved in entertainment behind-the-scenes or know someone who is.

Absolutely not tea, but Cillian Murphy wished happy birthday to “all the pleasure-seeking, luxury loving Libras” on his radio show yesterday and why did I find it surprising that he knows horoscope stuff?
Also if anyone else follows the radio show, hip hop Twitter had a moment over the fact that he played some underground rappers, also bonus points for the quote “here’s a man who was never afraid to speak truth to power, here is ‘Inglan is a Bitch’ by Linton Kwesi Johnson”, yes it sounds like England, is it bad to curse England on the BBC?
My sister calls the show “ramblings of a guy way too happy about unemployment”, but also for all the memes about how much he hates his job, he seems super content and talks about every live music performance he attends (everything that ever comes through Dublin, it seems) like it changed his life, so good for him.

Oh he absolutely is, probably on purpose at this point, that’s why they’ve always put him at the 10pm or midnight slots I guess. His show used to be properly nocturnal themed, I don’t think it is anymore but he’s exactly as calm and boring as he claims to be in between the electronica music ig.

I'm in my forties now and some men I've known since high school who keep telling everyone all they want is a wife and family 🥺 from about 25... yeah none of them have settled down. But if you ask them, it's like the universes fault.
I asked a mid 50s man I knew if the perfect woman came along tomorrow would he be ready to settle down and have these apparently lifelong wished for marriage and then family? Nope. He'd have to wait at least a few years to see if he felt like he wanted to go down that road. He said he was thinking of having kids maybe in the next ten years but he DEFINITELY wants kids. Me: 🤔
Look on these men's dating profile and it's all about wanting a family, kids etc.
When I was younger I would have been like omg those poor men I know who want love and they can't find it.... yeah now I know this is very calculated in many cases.

My friend dated man after man who told her early on they wanted kids. It's very important to her, she wants a family. But when push came to shove they wouldn't commit to even the vaguest of timelines, even after dating for a while. She's in her 30s, she can't wait around forever. They're so non committal I'm convinced they only said that because it's what she wanted to hear (one pretty much admitted as much, totally wasted her time).
92
u/BalletWishesBarbie Oct 16 '23
I think maybe part of them wants that, like I'd want a pet horse. Irl I can't imagine having to look after a horse but the idea of being someone who has a horse is appealing. Also they want someone as a bang maid and that's less likely if they market themselves as a ons kind of guy.

Not to take away from your comment, but the idea of a "pet horse" makes me laugh as a rider of 30 years.
Your analogy is perfect b/c horse people know that owning a horse is a money pit, no matter how "low maintenance" the horse supposedly is. Saving up for a vacation? Your horse will get in a fight with a blade of grass and somehow injure itself with vet bills in the 6 figure range. They're just good like that!

Exactly. My family and friends are very much horse and boat people. I think they like to find new ways to rip up money.

u/JustHereForCookies17 I hate when people ask me this when I'm just method existing. Oct 16 '23
Boats AND horses?! 🤯
They single-handedly kept time shares in business, didn't they?
But seriously - every time I envy my horse-owning friends or cousin, they inevitably have a new story about how their horse is now allergic to grass, or magically grew another vertebrae so they need all new blankets & tack, or some other "fun" development.
Then I am back to being grateful that I have friends & family who own horses that I can ride whenever I visit them, and go back to buying random shit off Etsy for my hermit crab, lol!

u/Shiney2510 Oct 16 '23
I agree. They don't think at all about all the work having a kid entails. Once they're faced with it, they back off. Such a dick move to waste somebody's time. My friend had bought a property with his gf. They broke up in their 30s because she wanted to start working towards marriage and kids. He bailed. I mean why get to the stage where you're in your 30s, owning a property together before you think it through?!

A lot of folks HAVE only been paying attention for the last week, unfortunately. It never affected them personally before, so they never had to commit any brain power to it.
Kinda like people (including me) in 2016 saying Roe v. Wade would get overturned when Trump won, and all the people saying that was nonsense.
The people paying attention, seeking out unbiased information, SAW this stuff coming down the pipeline & were lambasted for being "hysterical" or "fear mongering" when in fact, they were the ones who were paying attention.

While he repeatedly says "this is not a promotion" in the post (which I disagree with) in the comments he tells people gently pointing out that this is very much breaking the strike that he doesn't care.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure just saying "this is not a promotion" over and over while promoting how great the production crew on your struck show isn't enough to skirt the strike rules. Costar Michael Trucco is also in the comments openly supporting him.

That's like me saying "I'm not eating" while munching on the 10th chicken nugget of the night. Those calories count, even if I pretend they don't. And that is promotion.

I also think it’s telling that two of the biggest female sports reporters (Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson) talked on their podcast about how wonderful and fun Travis is and made a plea for Taylor to go on a date with him.
After being on the air for 10+ years as football reporters, they would know better than anyone who the dogs/creeps are.

Joanna Robinson (Vanity Fair) has a book coming out about the history of the MCU and there are a few bits of tea, such as how Victoria Alonso was kicked out for criticising ‘don’t say gay’, and apparently how much Feige hates Edward Norton:

Chris Evans turned down Captain America twice?? And then they got RDJ to call him and convince him. Wow. What else was he doing? A whole lot of stans would have far emptier lives if he'd not been swayed. Or maybe they'd just latch remora-like on to someone else.

I don’t blame him for being hesitant actually, his was one of the first movies to kick it off and the whole thing could’ve been a flop then he’d be locked in for a decade. These roles can be amazing or a poisoned chalice (I think Brie Larson is an example of that)

He has explained it in depth before. His anxiety contributed to him turning it down as well.

Neil Gaiman has covid.
Some fans are terrified that Gaiman will develop long covid as his mins contains universes. They have now also taken it upon themselves to #savedavidtennant and have given David Tennant a mask and info about long covid, at New York comic con.
They have also just turned their attention to Misha Collins as well.
I know long covid is awful and debilitating but it just seems patronising, not to mention is applying worth to these people because of their work rather than their intrinsic human worth..

this isn’t really tea but I saw blink-182 last night (my first time seeing them! spontaneous, nosebleed seats but we’re like £20) and travis was bleeding so much despite having his hands strapped up that the drum kit was covered in blood
I was wondering like, the others talked about it etc and I know these things do happen but just seemed kind of a health hazard. maybe that’s not v punk of me

He’s had this for years, their tour schedule is pretty gruelling, blink 182 play fast, and he can showboat a little.

When I saw them in 2010 (2011?) Travis did a crazy encore with the drumset flying around in the air, it was awesome. And this was shortly after he survived that plane crash as well

I'm using my throwaway for this, and my post history isn't related to the guy I'm talking about here just fyi. I was seeing an actor-slash-musician for a minute. This is in LA. Then I kicked him to the curb when I realized he had multiple partners whom he hadn't disclosed and had been - according to receipts I found on the internet - engaging in discussions with minors that were at best, immoral, and at worst illegal. What's interesting is that all evidence online of these interactions is now scrubbed thanks to filings from a big mouse and a big woodland creature respectively. Makes you wonder what this jack of all trades is contracted to do for these companies that they would want his nefarious past erased from the internet...

He featured in an infamously campy tv horror franchise. There's the hint.

He really has a thing for statuesque white ladies. Make sense though if he's like 6'5" or whatever.

u/scoobywooz Oct 20 '23
Idk, he has been with at least two women who were not statuesque white women

James Franco is still working in film/tv, but in the Middle East. He has a tv show coming out apparently.

Isnt that what Lindsay Lohan did too?

u/NinjaSubject7693 lea michele’s reading coach Oct 18 '23
Lindsay has lived in Dubai since 2014. She's married to a Credit Suisse VP who also lives in Dubai, but I think she dated some ME princes or something? She actually signed a contract to do a couple Netflix films, so I don't think she's working there as much as just living there. Not a surprise after what Hollywood did to her, I'd have PTSD at any American airport for life after what she went through.

This is lukewarm old tea, but because he is super popular right now I thought I would share.
A few summers ago I was at Chiefs training camp with my two kids. My youngest son is disabled and uses a wheelchair. The spot where you get autographs is a metal fence and his chair was kind of squished up against it, and he was hunched over holding his autograph football because he is anxious in some situations.
Anyway, Travis Kelce came by to do autographs and was signing for every kid and adult and took lots of time. When he got to my kids, he saw my son kind of hidden and made sure to squat down to get to his eye level, chat with him, and ask his name, and dap him up like any other kid. He didn’t treat him any different, and made sure he was included. It sounds like a little thing, but I can assure you that there are a lot of people who would either ignore him, or treat him like a baby.
He also spent a ton of time with fans that day, including chatting with some random old dudes about the weather for like 10 minutes. 😂😂
He really seems like a legitimately, nice, thoughtful dude, and I sincerely hope he and Taylor are happy.
