And I think it doesn’t matter whether this was the toddler’s mind protecting him in his despair via imaginary bear friend, or a real bear friend protecting the little boy. The end result is that a three-year-old child is alive and safe. I’m perfectly willing to settle for this.

These crimes took place in different countries (UK vs US). For some reason this was not made clear in this story.

I read that book and I didn’t think Jim Jones started off with genuinely good intentions at all. I think his intentions were always to glorify himself and to amass a following of disciples who would worship him and treat him like a god. I think he was operating from egotistical motives right from the very start, and…

People in SF knew what Jones was about; that was part of the reason he left.

He definitely didn’t go from Jeckyll to Hyde just by crossing some borders. From what I’ve read he was a power-hungry manipulative nutter from the get-go, it just got more obvious as time went on as he got more comfortable with his power and went from taking some of the drugs to all of the drugs.

“While he operated his church, the Peoples Temple, in the U.S., he was strictly above board.”

Anchor babies and chain migration are only ok for the Trump family.

This questionably legal immigrant is just as racist as her husband. She would never.

Listen, we all gotta do what we gotta do but marrying a man because he’s rich doesn’t exactly scream “independent woman”.

How soon we forget.... the plagiarized speech and other egregious shit.  

I wish these were closed-captioned for hearing-impaired / deaf people. We like to freak ourselves out too!  :) 

I’ve never been more weirded out while laughing so hard. Sorry about your scary trunk, but the way you wrote it was hilarious....”WE GOT DEMONS!” got me

You left out the most haunting part of the obituary, the part that really broke me. It made me finally understand that line in all the movies that says killing a person haunts you:

Make a few pans of mac & cheese, throw on some collards, fry up some chicken, and turn your crib into a “Repast” pop-up.

Ugh, did anyone else see Aung San Suu Kyi’s quote in the NYT this weekend? She was asked about the genocide and deflected with a response about Rakhine state’s tourism potential.

Clay feet for miles, it turns out. 

Clearly descendants of the Conquistadors, not the Aztecs

I know many Mexicans who look that white, or even whiter, but the minimal melanin on Mexican TV leads will always infuriate me. (I will forever have a chip on my shoulder for being nicknamed “Darkie” by my whiter relatives, due to my café au lait complexion.)

Looks about white.

Finally got around to watching Hausu. It was the best kind of dumb.

As someone who spent the better part of the early 90s with a horrendous heroin addiction (lost our family, friends, and spent couple years living on the LA streets until we got our lives together- thanks to the magic of a pregnant street cat who gave us 6 lives to live for), I am sending this young lady all my love…
