The Twisted Ones by T. Kingfisher (aka Ursula Vernon) is awesome as well. She writes a good “cozy horror.”

Thank you!! I’m writing a horror novel and I deeply appreciate this timely-to-me shortcut into the genre field I’ll be cavorting in for many moons. Gladly accepting other deep cut horror/witch/paranormal novel recs under this here comment.

There were probably at least a dozen people with the title “producer” working on this thing, with varying degrees of responsibility over different aspects of production. That’s not counting assistants, associates, PAs, etc. A dozen people with the title of “producer” or “executive producer”. Some of them are just…

Here’s an idea: let’s stop plastering Baldwin’s face and name in every article about this. Jesus christ. And it’s not just here, it’s everywhere. All you’re doing is feeding the ringwing dicknutbags and trolls.

When are GenXers going to stop going on about this?

I just hope in every episode they make references to Hyde joining a cult, going to prison, getting abducted by Mexican drug lords, getting mauled by a bear, etc.

I hope they remember what was the glue that held this show together: Scientology.

It would be great if they bring Chris Masterson in as Hyde.

Serious question: is Facebook addiction a generational thing? I’m asking because I closed my account in 2016 after realizing it was more or less a platform designed to reveal which of your high school classmates were in fact white supremacists, not to mention their absolute blatant disregard for account security. I…

I am genuinely saddened by the trouble you are describing, but the big picture is that Facebook is an evil, destructive force undermining human rights, democracy, the fight against coronavirus, and the fight against climate change. It can’t be that shocking to see people root for its destruction. That fact that it’s…

This is fucking a lot of people up. I’m part of a closed support group for transgender survivors of sexual and physical abuse. We do small events that provide structure to the week like movie view-alongs. Everything bar out mailing list if FB based because it’s literally the only communication system that is universal…

Making TV without writers is at least theoretically possible...

Spot on. Colleges and Universities are afraid to do anything substantial about Greek life because a majority of their donors are Greek-affiliated alumni. It is a cycle for a reason, in that it (seemingly) cannot be broken: College hosts Greek life, students rush and have “great” Greek experiences, students graduate…

That’s a good point. This, however, is an example I’m willing to accept (and enthusiastically endorse).

Most of the universities and colleges have made big strides, yes. Things are a lot safer nowadays (though far from perfect). But much of the Greek system seems stuck where it was 40 years ago.

It’s true that there’s very little progress in the attitudes of a lot of fraternities. When I was in college, in the Pleistocene Era, I had a stalker who was another student. He wrote me letters saying that I looked like his dead girlfriend. I went to the Dean. I went to Campus Security. No one would do anything. He…

I wrote an article much like this one for the student newspaper where I went to school.

More to the point, Disney making a settlement is essentially admitting that they screwed up, and they have a long history of not paying people who should be paid for their work. Scarlett just happened to be the first one who could actually afford the suit.

A lot of words to essentially say “why didn’t she speak up then instead of years later claiming to be uncomfortable” which sounds very much like victim shaming.

Thank GOD that Scarlett got her justice. Could hardly sleep over this, personally.
