Wait, is this a thing? I once had a 15-year-old boy in my summer school class who made me feel uneasy for some reason I couldn’t put my finger on, and he turned out to be a 22-year-old Ukrainian national who’d overstayed his visa and was paying some family to “adopt” him. He’s now in prison on a bunch of charges.

this is really upsetting me

Lets just all remember that he is a child and likely doesn’t have the perspective to understand how awful this is. And instead blame the scores of adults who still made it happen.

After a series of escalations, the punchline of every prank is apparently “Actually, you are still unemployed.”

Two minor details I forgot to mention. The way Damon started tearing up everytime he brought up the calender’s was borderline inspired. And while she had no lines and was a background prop, the woman playing Kavanaugh’s wife did such a great job with her silent stare and maintaining composure as Brett was going…

My ex said I abandoned him. I watched him slowly kill himself, and would wake up every morning wondering if he would be breathing when I went to check on him. Then when he did get sober, he suddenly had all kinds of issues with who I was as a person.

good god, she is a bad ass!!

How I met you and your husband numerous times but don’t remember.

they can just go fuck themselves. the show isn’t even that funny. also i perused the article (will not read thoroughly cuz again, fuck them) and the most reasonable quote is from Alia Shawkat who is only quoted twice in the whole damn circle jerk of a “conversation”:

The “shooter was bullied” narrative comes straight from Columbine, where it’s been totally debunked.

Completely agree - I could not be more sickened by the coverage of the father’s words, and the many, many headlines that imply that the girl(s) brought it on themselves.

The media may be reporting that, but people in this area are not buying it. My whole office has nothing but contempt for the shooter’s family trying to play like he is a victim. Most people want the father arrested too- for failing to secure his firearms. People are pissed.

Great writing.

Re: the “sweet quiet boys”thing.

I don’t know if there is a “right” way for parents to behave and speak out after something like this but this feels gross to me. Apologize for what your child did and then shut up. I’m sure it’s hard to process something like this but it’s just not the same thing as having your child murdered in cold blood, ESPECIALLY…

If I travel anywhere and I see that sign, I’m going the fuck back home.

Our bodies are not built to fight large cats. We have thin skin that doesn’t do a good job protecting our vitals from large claws and huge teeth. We’re good at problem solving and throwing things, and we’re built to do some physical things quite well, but fighting large cats and bears is not what we excel at.

“Horton, Here’s a Poo!”

Oh, I totally want to see it. I’ve really liked his work, and nothing about what he’s done changes that. I also generally like the performances of the other people in it. I’ll be waiting to see if and how it becomes available.

I’m not ashamed to admit I enjoyed his work before the rumors became public knowledge. But I am afraid to confess that I enjoyed it afterwards too — Better Things, which he co-wrote with creator Pamela Adlon, just finished its second season, and it was fantastic (hopefully more because of the wonderful Adlon than CK,…
