Is there a way to follow up and be sure this money actually reaches Finger Lady? I hate to sound like someone who has lost all faith in humanity, but... actually, that’s a pretty accurate description of my state of mind.

Dear CK-apologist motherfuckers: Any plans to apologize to Madeline and Anna for your attacks on them?

I once bought a Marion Zimmer Bradley novel not knowing anything about her or her husband’s heinous acts

If you are not a musical theater person, maybe start with the Hamilton Mixtape on Spotify. Wiz Khalifa’s version of “Washingtons By Your Side” is amazing.

Yeah, sorry. I should have included a trigger warning on that one. But, you know, I can remember seeing it in the racks at Tower Records when I was a teenager.

There was definitely a time when sex with a 14 or 15-year-old would have been considered mildly transgressive, but not pedophilia. Read about the famous “baby groupies” of the easly 1970s L.A. rock scene, or check out the original cover for the Scorpions’ Virgin Killer.

Brad Pitt has a decent range for an actor who could cruise on his looks, even if he isn’t exactly the male Meryl Streep. I think I first started to be impressed with him in Twelve Monkeys. He was really good in Moneyball and The Big Short, playing very different personalities. I thought his fitness instructor in Burn…

I likes that kid. As far as I can tell from the gossip columns, he’s well-behaved. And, if he doesn’t have Brad Pitt’s acting chops, at least he has Armie Hammer’s.

Even better than you guessed: He talked about Japan being a Samurai country and told China it better take care of North Korea or it would have Japan to worry about. Like China needs more reasons to feel hostile towards Japan.

1. Holding hands, how do you do it?

Dear “Fraud”: You HAVE been working. This is what being a working artist looks like. If it will make you feel less guilty, consider sending one of your pieces to your uncle, or dedicating it to him if it’s too large or too conceptual to ship. This is the time-honored manner of thanking a patron.

Sure, you can report it. But if police don’t believe you, you could wind up in jail while your rapist goes on to rape other women. Check it out:

I’m betting Glaser would be considered a public figure, however, which means he would have to establish reckless disregard for the truth to win a defamation suit.

My middle-class, black BFF and I were treated for the same condition and I can tell you I did not experience HALF the condescension, dismissiveness and outright malpractice she did. It’s documented* that doctors do not take complaints of pain as seriously when black patients make them, that doctors spend less time…

Yeah, my late FIL said some shockingly inappropriate stuff as his dementia became worse. Like, if I hadn’t known about his neurological issues, I would have had a hard time being in the room with him.

In general, I agree with you...but if this guy is in SAA, I’m going to guess this confession would come as a sort of Marvel-after-credits-scene to some previous feature-length explication of the many oher ways he has betrayed their marriage.

What the fuck is wrong with this guy? Does he need an IEP for the presidency?

It’s too confusing. Shazam was originally a wizard in DC comics, but then Captain Marvel became Shazam because lawsuits. Then Marvel created Captain Marvel, I mean Mar-Vell, except now this Captain Marvel is Carol Danvers, who used to be Ms. Marvel, except now that’s Kamala Khan. How is a normal nerd expected to keep…

OK, here is the full basket of cherries.

“I’m sorry if...#Rashomon” is an objectively bad apology, and maybe his wife, the critically acclaimed writer, could have helped him edit it into a better one.
