Is this to MacKensie Scott or to her "rich friends", because I have never heard anything but the good work she has done. This just sounds like a nasty hit piece to me.
I want to see Mackenzie Scott's and all her friends' tax returns. Cos White Women.
And Taylor Swift's tax returns. Cos White Woman.
And JB Pritzker's tax returns. Cos White Man.
All rich people need to be held equally accountable for how they spend their money. I want to know how All the Rich People make their money, who they screwed to get it, how much their houses and other assets are worth, what all their investments are, how much money they give away and how fraudulent their foundations are.
Investigate them all WONKETTE.
How much Money did Ali get paid for this article? How much tax does she pay? She needs to show Ws how she spends it, so that We can tell her whether We thinks that's Okay.
Becca needs to show us the Wonkette business accounts so We can judge her. How much does she give to the poor? Tell Us, Becca, so We can approve or Not.
When You make your Money by writing about other people, rich people in the public eye, without their permission, and all too often in a critical, judgmental way, Well, don't be surprised if others start thinking They have an equal right to start sticking their nose into Your affairs.
Maybe if they donate huge sums to women's shelters, orgs that combat human trafficking, support survivors of rape and domestic violence, empower girls and women, and then come forward with everything they know about Jeffrey Epstein it will kind of take a little of the sting out of their name being in his address book. Just a thought. It would be way better than the ones that are lying about even knowing the guy, or sending him birthday cards and such.
Except in the meat sack world. That was bringing apples to high school kiddos who were working on Environmental studies & ethics. Also, talking with a young woman ecologist working for Parks & Rec surveying our public parks for Emerald Ash Borers. And the close was chatting with a young father and his 18m old daughter. ‘Apple’ she sez… as we munched on plums, and grapes that grow over & through the fence. He learned where his former Physics prof. lives when not at CERN. His team discovered the Higgs-Boson.
Me: hoping he has a safe return.
And YES- MacKenzie and friends so much to accomplish, so little time.

Dude was a chick magnet.
You could also name buildings after yourself at multiple universities. Fritz J. Russ has a School of Engineering named for him at Ohio University and an Engineering building named for him at Wright State
Buildings only present and future eggheads will use? Where's the glory in that? In Dallas the real prestige goes with naming infrastructure. The naming rights for Dallas' signature park went to a local billionaire who named it after his eight year old son. The kid, who I'm sure is perfectly nice despite being the son of a billionaire, wasn't even sick.
On top of that Dallas has two (2!) signature bridges, both named Margaret.
Like, if you had Bezos' bucks, you could name a building at Greendale Community College.
What's that you say? There is no Greendale Community College?
Fuck it, build a Greendale Community College and name all the buildings after yourself. Note: demand that Greendale Community College come with a pansexual imp as the dean.
Not gonna lie. I had to look up Ozymandias.
Great article.
Ali Davis missed another reason: so you’ll be the last to be put up against the wall.
Think of the fun you’ll have telling Thurston and Lovey as they take them away “bye dears, I’m not due until way later.”

A very nice post, but this bit

Make them pull out a duck call, a pair of castanets, and a slide trombone to even pronounce the name of your building.

of course put me in mind of this

Billionaires should pay more tax.

And not even offer to pay You for it.

Sure, Andrew Carnegie was a robber baron who literally killed his workers, but he gave us libraries.
What will Musk or Bezos* leave us?
*Besides the money his ex is giving away.
Nice.
Best read of the day so far.

He also killed everyone in Manhattan.
It got better.

How much to name a Dallas book repository?
Is that header pic Mckenzie Scott? Was she separated at birth from Sandra Bullock?
No
That's Sandra Bullock playing Leeann Tuohy in The Blind Side, for which she won an Oscar
Some of us had thoughts

Ah. Thanks. Trix was not clear.

Would Jim Jordan give up his cushy Congressional seat to be a dean?
This makes me wish I was rich!
For example, do we remember Danny Thomas for how great his comedy show was?
I remember his daughter had great eyes.
Magnificent!
Congratulations Ali, and thanks
