I’ve seen him perform countless times and met him a few times. The thing is, this doesn’t surprise me at all; the god complex was always evident - because he is and has been treated like a god throughout the global world of opera. In Los Angeles, he IS the opera.

Really disappointed they didn’t get John Goodman to play Linda Tripp.

You shouldn’t need to have a black child to find racism offensive.

I would like to offer thoughts and prayers to the poor guns that will be victimized today.

This guy’s (an others like him) work is the reason that my parents were complete psychopaths in my teens (and early 20's) in regards to dating.

Yeah it strikes me as “I want my ex to validate my growth and change.” He doesn’t really want her back, he wants to be forgiven for whatever he was doing that led to her leaving and maybe hear her acknowledge that he looks great and is doing well. He didn’t give her much of a voice in the story, just focused vaguely…

You are an extraordinarily excellent and gifted commenter with a stellar body of work. You are a shining example to all of us. God bless you for being you. Would you please post a selection of your best comments so we can admire your awesome apercus and learn from them.

She specifically asked his family to leave the hotel room so she could be alone with him, which indicates she had some sort of agenda.

WAIT. the age of consent question is really secondary here. he says she assaulted him. the hedging on this site of “oh, well, in some states the age of consent is 17" is absolute bullshit. he says she raped him. even if the age of consent WAS 17 in CA, raping someone is still illegal. 

“pimp chain”??? calling you out for being racist AF because that is stanfard liturgical wear. Episcopal bishops wear purple shirts. GTFOH.

I kinda hated reading #1, mostly because my first marriage ended in much the same way. Much as the author of that letter, my ex got super into fitness, made many unreasonable financial demands, and disliked that I liked to stay indoors instead of going out to party. I felt attacked in a way since I did not like those…

You’re not asking this in good faith at this point. You keep fucking this chicken, hollering “but why their family” as if the protesters threw Molotov cocktails into the wedding. You’ve been given an answer over and over and refuse to hear it. Monique laid the whole thing out above and here you sit, sodomizing that…

While Becky has her spiced pumpkin latte, we chop it up and boil it with hard brown sugar, cinnamon, pepper, and cloves. Then we toast the seeds. I wasn’t allowed to carve a pumpkin for Halloween as a kid cause it was wasting food, and it's delicious so I didn't mind.

There’s nothing wrong or gross about sharing your life with others via social media, especially if you have something big going on. More than that, people who begrudge other people’s joy at sharing these things, no matter how mundane to you personally, tend to be complete assholes. So your friend has a baby and wants…

There is a particular type of prominent person susceptible to this sort of shit, and I think Cohen and his team are good at figuring out who those people are (although it’s not difficult to spot them and they are all over the fucking place).

I’m not seeing necessarily what Scarlett Johansson did that was so terribly wrong. I get that whole aspect of Trans people wanting to tell their own stories and representing themselves, but why all the hate went for an actress who just agreed to do a job that, up until just now, many other CIS actors have performed to…

Now we know where the inspiration for this look came from.

I think he “proposed”/ gave her a ring later. From what I remember its ginormo and possibly heart shaped
