Right! It’s like if my next-door neighbor was arrested for murder and I was like, “It can’t be true, because he never murdered me and he’s had access to me for years.”

Not even just that, but presumably most child predators aren’t drawn to rape literally every child that crosses their path, even among those who are conveniently vulnerable. Saying MJ couldn’t have been a child rapist if he never tried to do anything with Aaron Carter is as ridiculous as if I said that every guy who…

He says Michael Jackson DID do something to him, though, but he defends MJ anyway! That’s the really fucked up part of this.  I think we should just leave Aaron Carter in the early aughts.

Jada Pinkett Smith opened up about her porn addiction.

I don’t get all these celebrities/celebrity children saying Michael Jackson never did anything to them. A predator chooses people he can prey on; it’s not outrageous to think that he’d choose kids who weren’t as protected/famous. 

Tyra Banks’s advice to remove one accessory or item of clothing before leaving the house

You forgot Bronn being named Master of Coin and liege Lord over the Reach. No way a sellsword with no ties to the region becomes liege Lord over one of the wealthiest kingdoms in the Realm. 

This was lazy writing by Julianne. It’s been publicly stated by the creators that they made the decision for the reduced episode count, as you say. 

HBO was willing to pony up all the money the show needed to made right. The network wanted to finance full length seasons. It was Weiss and Benioff who’d come down with a massive case of senioritis and decided to phone it in so that they could move on to other projects like Confederacy and Star Wars. I thought this…

That’s a super messed up assignment. My 11th grade lit teacher was amazing, and on Valentine’s Day she had us write 3-5 anonymous notes to people in our class telling them why we thought they were beautiful. Some of them were more superficial, like “you have a nice smile”, and some of them were pretty deep. She then…

I ditched a childhood friend in junior high because I wanted to hang with the cool girls and she wasn’t one of them. Of that girl and the cool girls, guess who’s friends with me as an adult?

Let’s see. Can i tell this from the opposite perspective?

I just think it’s funny that she was actually at the beach (a fun place to be), pretending to be at a music festival in the Inland Empire (the 9th circle of hell).

Oh, seconded, Jujy! Drew’s piece about how his dog licking itself sounded like somebody stirring a pot of macaroni and cheese made me laugh so hard I almost fell off my chair. And now, whenever she is particularly going at it, the hubby and I just turn to each other and say “the dog is stirring the mac and cheese…

Get well Drew.

I understand that. I was just thinking you know - Instagram has caused a lot of issues with everything looking “perfect”, “curated” and “skinny”.

That’s because this is about a very specific community that is prominent on Twitter, not Instagram. Instagram is mentioned, but that platform is not the focus.

Jesus, man. This is harrowing. Like everyone else in the comments, I’m glad things didn’t go differently.

Jim, your illustrations always add so much the the articles, thank you for your work.
