It was a surprise.  If you read the article, they closed because they couldn’t obtain a business loan, not because of any sale.  The property remains unsold at this time.  

I’ve had just about enough of your Vassar-bashing, young lady.  

But you understand that a podcast about an effort to solve a murder and/or identify a victim is seeking a different goal than a podcast about exposing all the ways that the original investigation failed, right? You’re complaining that a wrench isn’t a screwdriver.

Investigating every person who worked for and/or knew a landowner takes ZERO resources? I’m not so sure about that.

the blame for why these cases went unsolved (at best) for so long is laid entirely at their feet

No, it really isn’t. His new podcast with Paul Holes is really interesting and it comes across that they are fundamentally bothered by the shocking number of unsolved murders and unidentified victims, and the injustice of it all.  

Or, people might prefer answers that are satisfying in the context of the narrative they’ve invested in, and don’t care for tossed-off nonsense that makes the audience feel duped for caring.  

Dude, you’re currently commenting on an AV Club article. Let’s not pretend either of us are George Clooney sitting on our yacht on the Riviera at the moment.

Or, it may be a fun diversion to dive into a very richly layered fantasy world.  

Not in bitcoin value, I’ve flat out converted it into dollars.

He makes a fair point--when was the last time you even saw someone buy good or services with worthless “dollars?”  Who even does that any more?  

I honestly didn’t realize that these bitcoin evangelists were still around and was surprised to see how many responses on this article could have been taken from 2015.  

If there’s not an episode about Sid Eudy and Arn Anderson stabbing each other with a pair of scissors, I don’t know what they’re thinking.  

Let’s not say things we both know aren’t true.  

Don’t you understand? We’re obligated to admire the moral courage the Bushes and Flakes and McCains of the world show us all by gently wagging a finger at the style with which Trump goes about doing all the things these people agree with on the most fundamental level. Heroes, all!

Well, that may have a little something to do with being forced to do so by the occupying forces who could grab folks by the back of the neck and push their noses in what they’d done.

Thank goodness the sophisticated reporter ventures out into the sticks to marvel at how the lumpen is so like the civilized yet so...unlike phase of the election cycle has begun.  These articles are always such a treat and not at all self-indulgent wankery.  

We do?  How will it end?

The Sansa storyline was infuriating for any number of reasons for me, not least of which the fact that they made her rape and torture primarily a vehicle for Theon’s partial redemption, which was gross and clumsy and stupid.

I question why people are so captured by it. Why this and not others?
