This moment was chilling.

The freezer part is especially useful because it stops mold from growing. If one book on a shelf is moldy, it will spread to other books. Libraries hit by hurricanes will sometimes freeze dry their books to preserve them.

This article doesn’t get into it like last week’s article did, but Singal also has a history of treating trans women badly (siccing internet mobs on anyone who criticizes him, among other things). Which is another very good reason why trans issues shouldn’t be Singal’s “beat.”

I really hope someone leaks the name of whoever said that.

If Voldemort had gone after the Longbottoms instead of the Potters, Snape would have stayed loyal to him. I feel like that’s all anyone needs to know about the character.

The content is bad, but I also can’t get over the syntax. “I look very much forward.” WTF? Did no one proofread this?

Imagine the comedy they could get from a Maeby and Lucille road trip.

Her comments actually make a lot of sense to me? One of my former roommates is an actress, and I think it would freak me out to watch her in a scary movie, even though it’s all fake.

He comes from a wealthy family. I think this is just grifting.

I’ve read that the investigators suspected that the whimpering, Mommy stuff was his way of laying the ground for an insanity defense in case he got caught.

Don’t forget the “toxic marriage.” Who would think that a man who enjoys raping and murdering people might not have a healthy marriage?

I agree. My first thought when I saw a headline was “good for her for getting away from the serial killer.”

“If you don’t actually harass”

I’m pretty average looking and haven’t had the easiest time dating, so I always found the “women have their pick” logic absurd. Then I realized that it’s because women who don’t fit into these men’s standards might as well not exist because we’re invisible to them.

Yup. Even if they’re banning sex, most cult leaders find a way to use sex as another method of controlling their followers.

Sex wasn’t the focus or point of Aum Shinrikyo, but my understanding is that there was a lot of weird sex stuff going on.

I don’t know, but it would be a fascinating subject for a book.

I’m surprised they haven’t been sued by a pharmaceutical company yet.

While I was reading the article I was thinking that the only way this really makes sense is if there’s a messed up home situation or if the group he was traveling with was actually a cult.

I like Zooey Deschanel, but I feel like they should have sidelined her character and focused the show on Winston.
