He is a joy on Twitter, too.  I like some of his music and not others (although Montero is a genuine fucking jam) but as a person, he is a goddamn delight.

Agreed. I love her as an artist and as a person and frankly, we could all stand to be a lot more like Dolly.

A conservator should never be able to benefit from the conservatee’s (?) wealth.  I’ve mentioned this on AV club before, but I have been sort of third-party to a very temporary conservatorship when my relative had a really bad time struggling with her bipolar ii and had begun to rack up huge amounts of debt from binge…

Jodie Foster being a notable exception, however, as she generally acts more responsible than a one year old.

Yeah, like, if we want to talk about prison reform and the US legal system, let’s talk about people serving time for holding a dime bag or because they shoplifted a backpack.  Actual predators who hurt actual people belong in prison.

I read this more as “Robert was over here making theme songs for kids’ movies while raping 15 year olds.” Not like, “he’s popular and bad!” but more like “he was specifically predatory towards children at this time (which we knew, cause, like, Aaliyah) and we were still somehow okay with this dude making a music video…

While I generally believe that, when it comes to fame, your emotional maturity peaks at the age you become famous (which would be early teens to 15 for Britney) and that Britney does struggle with some mental health issues, I have never understood the need for something so strict as a conservatorship. Her behavior…

Dolly has worked plenty of miracles.  She’s sent books to millions of low-income children every month, she’s one of the very few singers that manages to be great at singing and acting and she can play a very tiny fiddle.  That’s three right there.

Same; he seems to have gone grey very quickly!  That could be a symptom of his inner turmoil (or more likely - he cut his hair short, which shows more gray).

That joke didn’t bother me much, but unless Rebecca specifically told Sassy that Sam’s got a huge penis, it annoyed me that she just assumed he did.

Trent Crimm is from the Independent; he is a SERIOUS JOURNALIST, sir!

Listen, she had to roast the pigeon and it’s not her fault that her children showed up out of the blue.

I think they briefly mentioned their record in last week’s episode and I remember a 14 somewhere in there, but I don’t remember which column that was in.

We can all only hope for a friend as loyal as Sassy.

It depends on how much we’d get to see of it.  

I agree that the Keeley/Roy/Jamie triangle feels very much plucked out of nowhere and at least in this corner, it’s unwelcome. Part of Keeley’s charm is that she’s turned what should be on the surface a very silly character into a force of nature who knows what she wants and knows how to stick up for her friends. I…

I love that Guillermo is trying his level best to Littlefinger his way to the throne. I really enjoy this season’s snarkier, smarter Guillermo. He’ll be ruling the household in no time.

The only problem with the breakfast chicken biscuits are that there’s not enough of them.  Four measly biscuits?

I thought that at first too, but when it cut to Frances still writing, I figured it was just meant to be a humorous shot of him falling asleep while he was waiting her out.

It was a real shame, too, because they were my favorite characters in the book.
