Millennials may be worse.

They were taught in school to avoid making decisions which covers a lot of ground.

She recently made an effort to contact “The Last of Us” Emmy nominee Bella Ramsey and asked the young performer to introduce her at an event in Hollywood.

Not surprised to see Jodie the lesbian reach out to Bella the non-binary they/them.

Groomer alert. Is she on the List?

[RoosterRedux]

She didn't age well. Looks unhappy.

A nice smile brightens a face at any age.

[moovova]

Did he get permission from his wife to say that?

[mikey_hates_everything]

“Didn’t age well.”

Being pissed off for most of your life will do that.

[DeplorablePaul]

My thoughts exactly. If John Hinckley had only known what a hag she has become, he would regret how he wasted his life.

[nickcarraway]

So he wasn’t trying to help out his father and his brother?

I admire her for her art. But it ends there.

[Rummyfan]

Same here. And she was certainly not a classic beauty and always projected a certain coldness.

“Gen Z, the generation directly proceeding millennials,”

proceeding?

I always know who the conservatives and lefties are when working with youngins. Lefties are lazy as hell whereas the conservatives work their tails off.

Good for her. Finally somebody in Hollywood mans up and has the swinging brass cojones to face the problem.

Foster has been making the press rounds for months now as an Oscar contender for her supporting role in Netflix’s swimming drama “Nyad.”

Which makes me wonder whether swimmer Diana Nyad is a lesbian. It's complicated. Sources conflict about whether "Bart Springtime" is Diana's husband or wife. I did find out to my surprise that Nyad was never in the Olympics. She was a distance swimmer and Olympic pools aren't big enough for that, no matter how many laps you do.

“And she was certainly not a classic beauty and always projected a certain coldness.”

Physically, she wasn’t any kind of beauty. She did have a “cuteness” about her when she was younger; but that could have been due to a “tomboy” uniqueness. I think most guys can remember a tomboyish girl who was athletic and freckled and wholesome; and her beauty came from being who she was and her comfort in being so.

I have seen some bad professional writing by the youngsters today.

[who_would_fardels_bear]

Lately I've been feeling a bit Gen-Z. Gen-Z were brought up to have no permanent allegiances to their country or even friends or family. Why plow through any level of workload if there's just no good reason to do so, and if there are a bunch of programs and/or lawsuits you can fall back on if your idleness gets you fired?

America is so unrecognizable today I have a hard time feeling any allegiance to what it has metastasized into. I work for a megacorp that is all about DEI and catering to whatever administration is in office for the government contracts. I care about my family, but we don't really need each other as we all have our separate 401-k's, Soc. Sec., health plans, etc. The government and their private agents are our Daddies.

We have been atomized. We are all individuals! Whoopee! The Libertarians won... sorta.

[Political Junkie Too]

I’ll tell them this is all grammatically incorrect, did you not check your spelling? And they’re like, ‘Why would I do that, isn’t that kind of limiting?’”

This is a new thing to me. Good grammar and spelling is "limiting?"

Limiting what? Upward mobility?

Well Jodie, they learned it from the educational system run by liberal idiots you’ve supported.
