Even better are the books or TV shows that feature some master of weaponry stealthily killing with a silenced revolver.

What's that old saying? She who lives by the bum dies by the bum.

I came away from the article with the same sense. It seemed clear that this person was a fraud and a troll with serious mental issues before the author started contacting her directly. If Hale felt such a pressing need to call her out she could have just built a case from the easily available contradictions in the…

My first reaction to the trailer is why would anyone want to play such an obvious no-life loser? The protagonist isn't glamourised at all and looks like any slovenly forever alone nerd living in squalor who has enough money to buy a trenchcoat and some weapons. I can't even see any element of fantasy fulfillment,…

I thought that would be the winner, but the Sir Topham Hatt one-upped it.

Global warming is the gift that keeps on giving — those right-wing authoritarians not busy denying it are looking to exploit it in the most bellicose way they can.

It's a mystery why she wouldn't want to have sex with this romantic devil.

Definitely not a spoiler if you read the books. I read a few chapters behind as I watch the show, and when I shared it with the people I view the show with they didn't mind hearing the theory.

Elaine May had it down in A New Leaf (1971), as the valet explains things to his newly impoverished employer:

No questions come to mind at the moment, LeVar, but I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the work you've done in promoting literacy, as well as using your characters in Roots and ST:TNG to promote equality and justice for racial minorities and the disabled. Thank you.

What a class act. But understand, LeVar, this is a tribute to what you and your associates have accomplished with Reading Rainbow over the years. This is real brand goodwill, the most genuine sort, and well deserved.

Yeah, it's not like women's restrooms, which are by all accounts generally nicer than men's restrooms — mainly because my fellow men (#notallmen but damned well #toomanymen) seem more prone to fouling their own environments. Which seems to be one explanation for why patriarchal culture is so toxic for everyone.

This is one of those cases where it's especially smart not to use your true name. MRAs can go a little nuts when a woman who they can identify calls them out with something they can't refute. I'm talking about doxxing, gruesome threats, defamatory comments, and harassment. If that isn't bad enough there's a genuinely…

If the NYPD enforced this policy in Union Square alone, they'd probably be self-funding by year-end.

I agree that's the most depressing part. Even in the face of a horrific shooting driven in large part by what is clearly an acceptance of patriarchal norms the MRAs and PUAs and NiceGuy(tm) still come out to say "you know, he has a point."

Women tend to open up to me about stuff like this, and I remember how shocked I was as a young man when most of the women I dated or slept with would tell me about a time someone raped them or tried to rape them. Anecdotal evidence, but compelling because they talked about this horrible crime I never even imagined…

Well said. The only thing I take exception to is your calling these two mass murderers men. The confusion is understandable, since physically they appeared to be mature. But otherwise they were both immature, entitled little boys.

Nothing, but Sam's more of the stern uncle who's always telling you to straighten up, conform to the rules and join the service.

Bill Murray is now officially America's cool uncle.

Blecher's co-counsel added: "Donald Sterling a racist? It's so funny you think that..."
