For me it's the Smoky Eye of Babylon.

I relate to this. I got into Columbia as a piano prodigy from a gang neighborhood in Chicago, because I knew somebody (pretty much). I’m not shy and I was treated as a novelty by the New England/NY prep school kids; they liked me, but I saw how they looked down their noses at my other friends and I couldn’t feel like…

I get this. I left Columbia too, and while I didn’t go “missing person” like Nayla, I totally get what she’s saying about not fitting in with the whole Ivy League culture. Some of the kids there were SO entitled and insufferable, and this was before millennials existed. There were kids who already owned Brioni suits…

I always wondered who buys the pink ones lol! Good job. My brother is Chicago police, they are the worst even if you're in a hood with no traffic. This guy looks like a real hillbilly, I hope they took him to Homan Square.

There’s a bar near me that was notorious a few years back for people being drugged there. After multiple articles about it in the local paper, they finally got raided by the police and several staff members disappeared and were replaced.

Yes I understand that. I was 14 and weighed about 90 lbs. so it seemed strange that the drugs would be under-dosed; but it was a loooong time ago and as an adult I used to work for anaesthesiologists. Like all specialtys, it is imprecise and you never know how drugs will affect an individual until they are applied.

Yes. This happened to me during a surgery on sensitive parts, and when I was recovering I told my surgeon what excruciating pain I was in and everything I felt and heard him and the other personnel talk about during the procedure. He asked “Why didn’t you say anything?” and I told him I thought I was screaming the…

The beauty of free speech: When you see some asshole wearing a shirt like this, YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE.

“I get mine from daycare.”

She was talking about her “reggaeton” album, not DJ-ing, I think she really is into that. (Damn, autocorrect doesn’t recognize reggaeton or DJ, what’s up with that? Why u hate music, iPhone?) And Conrad Hilton was her grandfather, hence the 3rd generation heir.

Thank you. It should be outrageous to see minors tried as adults. The only people who benefit from this practice are the ones who are invested in the for-profit prison industry. Kids do not get what they need. If the facts presented here are accurate, this isn’t much different than kids with cardiac defects dying…

Apparently you and I are the only ones.

Strangely, it reminds me of this Italian relief sculpture my ex-boyfriend had on his bedroom wall, in that both pieces could potentially scare the crap out of someone in the middle of the night.

Okay this is pretty dope. But I like the ugly one in the article too.

“A police detective said that Dear appeared lucid”

No one ever accused the Hemingway family of solid mental health. Mariel seems like a lovely woman, she’s had a lot of demons to battle and is humble about it all. I love the sound of her voice, and her bushy eyebrows. She stole that whole movie. Not at all surprised that Woody was after her, but it still makes me sad.

That's what I got! Made sense to me!

Pretty much this. Annie Hall (also my favorite movie ever) and Manhattan are pure genius, but the latter has a shadow cast over it by situations with Dylan Farrow or underage Soon-Yi that were referenced in his biography. That makes Manhattan creepy as shit but I still enjoy watching it while thinking about how it’s…

Between high school and college I lost a close friend to the Forum. She was busy for a couple weekends in a row, and the next time I saw her, she just rambled on about how amazing and transformative this group was, and I swear her eyes were glassy. She’d been into self-help books for a while but this was on another…

Wait. Before GOOP sex don’t you have to go to Gwyneth’s spa and sit on that bidet that dilates your cervix and steam cleans your womb with vapors of mugwort essence?*
