Me three. And I doubly side-eye the people who changed their picture to a selfie from Paris and THEN added the overlay. It’s just about the most upper middle class self-involved way to “show you care*.”

I worked at Yale’s Manuscripts and Archives for a year and change in the mid-90s. We were forever finding fabulous texts and objects, like Camille Paglia’s typewritten PhD thesis, or part of the prow of some alumnus’s whaling ship. My personal favorite was the wooden card cabinet filled with a sort of bibliography of…

Afuckingmen.

I think it could be interesting to compile some of the answers people give to this, given the eye of the beholder idea.

I read this article and came away feeling that Stubblefield is deeply sick and deluded. She’s always been professionally interested in how privileged people intrude upon or violate disadvantaged people (especially in racial contexts) and I think she may truly believe that this was somehow empowering to DJ,…

OK. Using ‘mental age’ to indicate someone’s functional level is not cool. It’s ableist and you shouldn’t use it.

Absolutely. I read the linked article when it was published and it is ABSOLUTELY clear that she was, even if subconsciously, inventing all of his communication.

I know I shouldn’t be reading it given my self esteem but it’s hard to look away. I hate…

Perfection, thy name is Lupita.

OH MY GOD I FORGOT ABOUT HER. Sherilynn Fenn, too. Those women are just lovely.

His instructions to the barber: I’d like a cut that really emphasizes my ears.

So... he was a thug. A gangster. A fraudster. A pimp to his son. A liar. A coke dealer/user. A possible hit man and/or set-up man. A tax cheat. A welfare cheat. A wanna be murderer. A veteran. A cop. A darling of Fox news. Sounds about right.

its for money, if he is killed his family will receive money, if suicide, they probably won’t receive anything.

I demand an apology from this woman and everyone else who exploited his “hero” funeral to undermine Black Lives Matter.
