I’ve have similar conversations with people when I mention that I am autistic (I’m “passing” in many situations since I’m low support).

I was on a date with a woman and we were talking about how I take antidepressants. She asked if I’d tried “healing my depression through alternative medicine”. I told her, “no, because if I tried ‘healing my depression’ through ‘alternative medicine’ my next step would be painting the walls with my brains.” I have…

I’m glad that the article brought up 3 Women because she was great in that.

Honestly I did genuinely forget he exists until this.

I’ve been a bit surprised by the reaction to Doctor Phil. Like, this was the final straw? When did people hear about Dr. Phil? Yesterday? He’s been a piece of shit for a long, long time. Whatever other gifts she has, Oprah has consistently shown herself to be a fairly poor judge of character.

Dang, there should be a mandatory “good dog” story between posts as a palate cleanser.

OH DEAR I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS! THIS SI SO COMPLETELY UNEXPECTED AND UNUSUAL!

A very interesting Slate piece on this topic:

Quite a shame, I believe she was the oldest living film star at her death. Very hard to beat 106 obviously. That’s quite an achievement itself.

Don’t speak Spanish but I had read how the Spanish version of Dracula was a better shot, better edited, more stylish version compared to the English version. OK, so I watched it. Despite the language barrier, it truly is a better movie than the English version.
