I get that Berger and Moore are pictured too but it seems disingenuous to have a picture with Democratic Governor Roy Cooper front and center on this post. Aren’t there any photos of the just the NC GOP floating around? 

It’s called scat, you philistines.

I would take her tone policing and excoriations to “earn it” a lot more seriously if she wasn’t literally the scion of the Barrymore dynasty, who helped invent Hollywood.
I’m not saying Barrymore didn’t work hard for where she is today but a lot more of those doors opened for her last name than for her acting chops in…

I think if Allison Janney had invited Tonya Harding up on stage but then threw out an arm to block her from the microphone that would be a more fair comparison.
The fact that Franco did the above and then read from his phone in Tommy Wiseau’s accent while he stood 3 feet away is what makes this appalling.

Victor LaValle’s The Changeling was incredible. Somewhere between fantasy and horror and mythology.

I audiobooked as well. I liked Nick Offerman talking about his erection but hell is listening to Cassandra Campell saying Op. sid. or whatever the Latin is for “I already documented my source in full thirty seven minutes ago but here’s another quote from the same made up source.” Op.sid.  

I rode the Osaka loop line for Halloween in 2001. After a few months of being gawped at and groped multiple times on the train and subway, it was fun and rowdy and nice to just let off steam, as well as an easy way to meet gaijin who weren’t in JET program without going to a shitty bar. (I may or may not have been…

I could have written this exact story but substitute working class neighborhood in Osaka for suburbs and a van with at least 3 or 4 whistling and yelling while trailing me down the street for a single dude.
Add extra points for everyone in my housing project knowing which exact apartments the gajin lived in in our…

Subtlest of homages.

YAS! I just commented above that this post reminded me of the Grindr story.

Doesn’t this post sound a lot like the Grindr date story that was posted in the Scary thread this past year? Trying to find it now.

I think I’m the only person who didn’t like Mr. Splitfoot.
On paper this should have been my new favorite book with the religious fundamentalism and cults and Kelly Link comparisons but I struggled to get through it and spent more of the middle bored as hell. It doesn’t help that I listened to the audiobook and…

It was literally 17:37 minutes long if you include the post-morgen discussion. I know this because when it was over I said “what the absolute fuck” and rewound it to count exactly how much of my life I wasted on people who WERE NOT IN the original series.

I think if you gave them the level of detail that you gave us here (the guy driving around and looking for you afterwards is major alarm bells for me in particular), they would be interested.
I’m really glad you’re ok. I used to be the check-in for my best friend in high school when he would meet men on IRC while…

““The first time this man raped Corey was after he got him high on pot,” said a source”. -- from the Radar article.

You’re very welcome because I hate people too.
Also, we should start a book club because there are SO MANY of these fucking things: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fake_memo…

Love and Consequences was that fake gang memoir: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/04/boo…

“If your identity was enough to invalidate the writing, it’s very telling in what people invest in, as opposed to the actual writing.”

I’m betting this was the film.

Erm... judging from some of the more graphic moments in A Brief History of Seven Killings, there would probably be some rape but it wouldn’t be of women.
