I have nothing to add except that I agree with all of this.

Another article about this incident confirmed what you’re saying — that the serial killer grinned and smirked when the father turned around to look at him.

I looked at another article, and it explains that the serial killer openly smirked at the father as he made his statement — which is probably what prompted him to leap over the table.

I knew pre-Laverne Laverne too, but only as the friend of a close friend. She came to a party at my place. Thoughtful and funny and so nice.

I just read his AMA on reddit from a while back (I just went down a Google rabbithole, and it was linked in one of the articles), and he said that he actually auditioned for the role of Jim in The Office. You can see part of the audition on youtube:

I just watched showed the “Desperate for a Shag Giles” episode to my daughter a couple of days ago. She is too young for Buffy generally (scares easily, has nightmares), but I’ve been picking out episodes that I think are especially good and not-too-scary and have just been warning her to cover her eyes before scary…

Everything about this video is wonderful — but her little giggle/dance of happiness after he praises her is one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen. And it is EXACTLY the right way to respond to a compliment from President Obama.

Sweet girl. I feel exactly the same way.

This is the best thing I’ve seen online in weeks.

Yes, to all of this. Also, I wonder why that Gollum GIF hasn’t gotten more use in this campaign year.

I really can’t stop shuddering over this.

My daughter is 9 and hates scary things (and is prone to nightmares), but I really wanted her to see just a little bit of Buffy. So I actually let her watch the musical episode, and would warn her to close her eyes right before any shot of something potentially scary — e.g., the vampires’ faces, the spontaneous…

It seems unfair that any one person could be this beautiful and this cool. When I wink, I look like I’m having a stroke. When she winks, she could basically rule the universe. Also, look at that dimple.

Same to all of this (growing up a massive Star Wars fan, crying at this moment, so happy that my daughter will grow up with Rey as the defining movie hero of her childhood). And your daughter in the Rey hair is ADORABLE.

I admit that I’ve been obsessing over how he died, because I can’t make sense of this. But I think what you said is exactly right, and I’m going to stop. He was innately (and also worked very hard to be) mysterious and magnificent in life. That shouldn’t be taken away from him in death.

I was barely holding it together, and then I saw this.

Wasn’t there some story about some French politician at a dinner, and his wife telling some British guests that “A penis is hard to find”? And her husband leans toward her and says, “Darling, here they pronounce it ‘happiness.’”

Seriously — that was exhilarating to watch!

I’m a non-confrontational person, and I usually feel really bad when I see someone getting yelled at. But this guy deserved it so much, and was such a douchebaggy coward about it, that this was honestly exhilarating to watch. They should play this video to soldiers going off to war, and to athletes before a…

Judging by the quick Google search I did, and the LinkedIn info that came up for both Peter Jonsson and his friend, their futures do look very promising. Smart and decent human beings.
