I want this dressssssss. I think I'd like it better without the extra mesh at the bottom - the green should continue down a bit further and then just stop. But I WANT THIS DRESSSS.

It sounds too much like Pope Benedict, when you take away the Cumberbatch. :-/

Your mom is nuts. I wouldn't even let you finish the sentence before I'd be asking "where is it, where is it, where is it?!"

THAT IS THE BEST GROUP NOUN I HAVE EVER HEARD.

Yeah, that's the exact punchline, but also that he "noticed" she was black. That's what makes it edgy.

It's not funny-funny though, because judging by this, there's no way this guy is ever in the same paragraph as actual funny. Funny people become (tragically) less funny just by appearing close to him in the alphabet.

(I haven't read the bell hooks article in question but I have been reading a lot of New Yorker articles recently, so I'll add this thought to GlobalBeet's more informed perspective...)

I know this is a weird thing to pick up on, but I've been wondering if the "bad news" on the blinds was written so it faced the street or the inside of the room. If it was facing the room, it would seem that he's labelling what he did. If it was facing the street, it's a note to Amber's son, like the subject line of…

My boyfriend frequents parts of reddit (the genuinely okay parts, like cycling forums and scenery photos) and he knows not to try to defend it to me. I shudder knowing about the parts like r/creepshots, but I'm intelligent enough to realise there are some good things there too (even though I vehemently disagree with…

...caught alive, please. I want his plans derailed.

Exactly, and you don't get nearly as many copycats or would-be copycats if the photos and letters from serial killers are kept in an evidence locker somewhere. Even if they're released years later in books about the cases, there's something particularly galvinizing about the immediacy of 4Chan and the instant feedback…

...so desensitized to violent crime, and so jaded, and so cynical, and so hateful, and so cruel, and so fucking predisposed to one-up each other's nastiness that their first impulse was to laugh and make suggestions about how he could have killed her more efficiently.

I'm gonna stick with both (and her poor family). Not that it's a competition.

There have already been others. There will be more. I hate to put it so bleakly, but it's true... this case alone will probably sow the seeds in plenty of misogynistic creeps' minds.

A sane and rational set of points there. I concur. (Although I know it would be extremely hard to maintain this stance if someone I loved was harmed by a guy like this, as someone who is opposed to the death penalty, yours is the kind of attitude I aim for.)

Watch "Anvil, The Story of Anvil". It's full of such good heartedness, it'll make you forget all your woes.

Any chance he was the neighbour from the other side of the vent and just took the opportunity to remove the camera? :-/ That's where I thought this was going.

Are you serious about that "practice shower", Mark? Because that screams "torture porn horror movie opening sequence" to me, too. You lock the door, thinking you're indulging someone's pedantry in your effort to secure an apartment, and then — oh no, wait, he has a key that works from the outside. Now you're naked and…

The word "shitlord" was invented for this creep.
