My PSA for Ryan Reynolds ....

Addressing the part of your quote that didn't get as much attention as what you said about Blake Lively (you know the part where you claim never to have never been more proud of your wife for following your playbook of stealing movies, lying to frame an innocent man, and then getting caught).

Anyhow you also responded to the pre-approved question with the below:

"You really see kind of the illusion behind so much of this stuff, you know, digital life versus real life."

Oh Ryan Reynolds, In 2026, digital life is REAL LIFE! You actually know this better than anyone because you love to think you are the most clever person on the internet with that ridiculous marketing company. But here's what you need to know or at least be reminded of ...

There is no public flogging or shaming of canceled celebrities. This exists online (chats, comments, etc) and through news stories. You didn't see a public shaming forum for Matt Lauer. Kevin Spacey isn't booed as he walks through an airport. That's because in public we are still a reasonably civil society. So, Ryan, if the fact that this HAS NOT happened to you or Blake makes you feel a separation from digital and real life exists ... then I guess you should continue to live in that fantasy?? But, in reality, you and Blake both have in fact been canceled.

Nearly 100 percent of online comments are negative. Yep, Ryan, there is no echo chamber here. It's everywhere from Daily Mail/Page Six comments to more mainstream like People or Variety. It almost doesn't even matter what the actual content of the story is anymore - the comment sentiment is always the same. You'll also NEVER be able to turn your comment section back on, Blake too. And again, for someone who likes to feel like they are smarter than the internet and can harness its power - I bet that really bothers you. Especially when you put so much stock in the back and forth you had with Blake online before all this mess.

You and Blake are losing projects left and right. Did I just see an article saying you claimed Deadpool was never going to be center stage again and only appear as a side character on the Willie sit-down? That's interesting. Just two months ago you were garnering online support for a FOURTH Deadpool movie and you've also been on record in 2024 saying that Deadpool has to exist on his own and will never coexist with the larger groups. Did you really have such a change of mind OR did your current situation dictate that for you. Yep, it's one-hundred percent the latter. Also, another truth that will hurt. Ryan, YOU DON'T OWN DEADPOOL. I know you feel you do. But the reality is you don't dictate his future - Disney does. And because you are now 50, most studio execs everywhere likely hate you or at the very least will never text you again, and 75 percent of the movie-going audience now thinks you are psychotic - it's just not looking good. Here's what will happen. There will be a 10 year or so pause on Deadpool and then he'll come back with a younger actor. You helped develop a character ... and that character can be played by another actor. You aren't the only actor ever who can pull off sarcastic and edgy. ALSO, you have been dropped by Paramount on THREE projects!! The only things going forward are projects you already had in the can. And even those have been delayed by YEARS because they don't want to be associated with your bad press. And don't even get me started on your wife - you know the situation there!

Anyhow, Ryan, I could go on, but I think I'll leave you with just the three points above so it can really sink in. BUT .. don't despair. I'm also leaving you with two tips on how you can help your current situation!

1. Stop the nonsense! All the doubling down, victim framing, etc. - it actually makes people hate you more! We've seen the dancing video, text messages and everything else. So stop telling us it was a different story - that ship has sailed and is going down fast! Nobody wants to be gaslit. Start taking accountability and look for a way out, not a way to drill down further.

2. Lay off the dumb-dumb juice!

Applied for a teaching position at a private school yesterday. I should be a fairly solid candidate. The interface was to submit resume/cover letter, name and previous position. When I hit submit, I got an email saying they received my application and will review. But after I hit submit, it took me to another page where it asked me to put in degrees/references/etc. BUT, I'm not sure if it glitched on its own or I did something wrong, but it canceled out and the entire window deleted. So obviously I don't think they got that part. I did not go through the steps again because I didn't want to risk showing up twice as applied (although looking back maybe I should have).

Anyhow, should I email the head of HR and let them know that I was glitched out while completing the second part of the application, and I'd be happy to fill that part in when necessary. Does that make me look on top of it OR does that make me look a desperate?

I say head of HR because her email is listed online. There is a general inbox for HR but I don't anticipate a response. I actually emailed that address last week about a general credential question, and I never heard back. So I was thinking that it's not likely the most reliable.

What are your thoughts?? And thanks in advance.
