Oh man. I only made it about 40 seconds in. I am too mortified on this poor shlub's behalf.

I imagine that all of Beyonce's movements are always perfectly timed to music like this.

It's kind of this weird morbid fascination thing. It's like watching The Walking Dead. It always makes me feel real real crappy when I am done but in the moment I can't stop because I think I am maybe going to get something out of it. Some insight into humanity.

it was at the recommendation of a Gawker commenter on a serial killer story. Bad idea.

Before I watched this episode this morning, I somehow ended up reading the entire Jeffrey Dahmer wikipedia page. This immensely helped me recover from that experience.

I have watched many Law and Order marathons in my life, and I've followed this story as it's developed. And yet somehow this suspicion never even occurred to me. #Naive #Ashamed

my main takeaway from this is that best man guy is Rick. from The Walking Dead. Weird.

It's Smaug, as in "smaug," not "sma-oog." Get your shit together, Peter Jackson.

first Damian Lewis goes down, and now this.

Alexis is my very top reason for wanting to be her. (and I don't go around referring to celebs by their first names willy-nilly. he's special.)

Are you sure that's Gillian Jacobs?

God, I just want to be Alyson Hannigan.

American Hustle is a comedy?

In reading Sir Ian's response as well as some other reflections on it, I got the impression that people are interpreting it (very charitably I would say) as a comment on Sir Ian's voice, literally. It's sonorous and over-the-top (booming, was another term I saw). However, having a sonorous voice is pretty awesome.

Well, at least now I can root for Brody to die without any lingering but-Damian-Lewis qualms. Screw him! [no spoilers please; haven't seen Season 3.]

also: seriously? fruity??? uggggh. this is really bumming me out.

Damian Lewis taking a jab at Ian McKellen makes me feel confused and upset.

Obviously they are vastly different. I am not comparing the two products, just the use of anecdotes in the media as the primary vehicle of discussion about their safety. I am saying that with any medication, individual anecdotes are not data.

As with the HPV vaccine, I tend to be skeptical about damning a product when a mother comes out and says "my child died after using it, ergo it killed my child." We need more evidence, and we need a better system for making sure our medicines are safe.

Thank you for saying this. I have some issues that are apparent (I have a half-paralyzed face so my smile and eye movement and general way of talking are off) but sometimes when I am interacting with people I manage to forget about it and imagine I am "normal" or look like I used to look. It's always a major bummer…
