An important correction: South Carolina has NEVER had a black Senator. Tim Scott is the first SOUTHERN Senator since Reconstruction.

I don't want to think about this movie. I just want to talk about how awesome the book is.

At least it's not raining

aw shit, I forgot all about that. Yeah, she's a fucking winner to be sure.

Remember when she wrote a completely nonsensical poem to Dzhokar Tsarnaev? Or when she asked musicians to work for her for hugs?

Fair enough. I've been lucky enough to not be in such a situation, and honestly I hope I never have my belief that ghosts don't exist seriously challenged. Because it seems like it would open up a whole world of NOPE.

well, I consider mental illness to include relatively benign things like anxiety problems. I don't mean to imply that everyone who has experienced this stuff is crazy.

Definitely the most unnerving of them. I don't really believe in ghosts, so most of the others I chalk up to mental illness in pairing with unsettling coincidence. Look At Me, on the other hand, is scary because I believe it could actually happen.

There's a great picture of Eva Braun in blackface that would work on a few levels.

When the house-robbing arsonist is your best boyfriend, you know you need to do a little bit of soul-searching.

I don't understand how it could even be allowed to happen in the first place. When I worked in the ER, I know if some nurse had pulled out her phone, I would have yelled at her, "What the fuck do you think you're doing?"

I'm pretty sure this is really about ethics in crime journalism.

I'm smiling imagining Phyllicia Rashad slapping the shit out of Cosby.

Well, that's another of Cosby's problematic layers: the fact that he thinks every black person in America should listen to what he has to say. Even if his private life was squeaky clean, it would still be gross.

John Lennon.

Maybe I am being a little selfish, though I think that's kind of a strange way to look at it. I just don't feel that I have to deprive myself of good art by shitty artists. Chinatown is a genuinely phenomenal film, and I will watch it when it comes on. I'm not sure that partaking (especially when I'm not giving them
