The actress is so good, the flash lasted for mere seconds, but when she said “I’m incorrigible too, only Mama doesn’t know it.” I was like, ding ding ding we have a sociopath on our hands, people.

Riley has been the boss of him since the day she was born.
Good that he understands that. 

While yes, I get that’s the nature of a twist, there were very few, if any, warning signs, and the scope of Amma’s murderous streak was wide enough to warrant more explanation than conjecture.

The personal experience thing is very real - it’s why we encourage people to come out of the closet about their sexuality and about having had abortions. It’s harder to hate on those things when they’re attached to someone you know and love. So, yeah, I’ll take it, too.

If only the government wasn’t trying to stop any sort of epidemiological research on gun violence from happening. 

I thought it was pretty clear why Amma did it. Camille internalized the abuse by her mother, while Amma turned her pain and rage onto others. She was tied in a codependent relationship with her mother and jealous of anyone taking away Adora’s attention. And I already thought it was Amma since last week, when it became…

I mean I don’t recall it being much more obvious in the book. They clue you into the fact that something is BADLY wrong with Amma how many times. It’s the viewer/reader’s natural instinct to just think of it as a byproduct of the abuse she deals with, but that doesn’t mean that’s the only possible explanation.

Why in God’s name was this wretched execrence given any kind of bond at all?? HE SHOT MULTIPLE WOMEN AND DID SO WHILE OUT ON BOND FOR SHOOTING SOMEONE.

And just because he stuck up for Obama one time doesn’t negate any of the other shit he did.

I tend to agree with the substance of the criticism (to be clear: not the name-calling or other kindergarten tactics.) It is a fact: some people are generally sad whenever anyone dies: their family, their friends, people who benefitted from them in some way. That being said, I don’t see the point of offering more than…

I have seen some sanctimonious, stupid-ass, self-aggrandizing “christian” tattoos before, but this one takes the cake.

Or that they pick their kid up at Granny’s house,

The photoshop fuckery on that cover image is nauseating. 

They were carved out of cream cheese, painted in aryan tones and sealed with a light lacquer for a permanent shine. 

Those people are so aggressively white and so disingenuous in their faith that I’m surprised I haven’t seen them lead a ‘God’s Not Dead’ sequel.

They look like Aryan muppets.

No, not a lab, just the same uterus. 

What is most stunning about this story is the realization that not only were these abuse allegations widely known among the journalists and members of the political class of the day, they were brushed off and deemed unimportant, irrelevant to what were considered more pressing political matters.

A few days ago a card was being passed around the office for a former co-worker who had moved up to northern California with her husband. We found out a while back that she was pregnant and the card was a congratulations card on the birth of their son that we plan to mail to her. I started to write a nice little note…
