My friends and I used to say that to each other all the time, that and “Why are you like this?” “Like what?” “Like, how you are!”

So you also don’t remember that he wasn’t in the Seattle cast and didn’t make his debut until three years later on the “Back to New York” season ;-) But I do agree - good on him for making his dreams come true.

Seriously. Warren has the specifics on her policy/proposals/platforms in a way that Bernie didn’t even when he was still refusing to accept defeat in 2016. It has impressed a LOT of people.

I mean...this is kinda his MO. If anyone is doing better than him (especially a woman), his default is to assume and say it’s because of gender bias. It’s one of the many reasons he is someone I do not support. 

So why did he devolve to these old tropes? Why could he not speak on policy differences, or style, or their records on voting in the senate?

I miss the Bernie Sanders who told Playboy in 2013 that he was 99% sure he wouldn’t run for President.

Never mind that she has been consistently laying out policy. It’s all about that pussay right Bernie?

I get most of the authors here are young and come at things from a different perspective, but please don’t discount us “olds” who saw this show in real time and really wished something like it existed much earlier. Had I seen this type of show when I was 14 (1982) my life might be much different now.

If you’re interested in the Manson case, I highly highly recommend Karina Longworth’s You Must Remember This podcast. She gives 12 episodes devoted to background on Manson and the Manson family, but also tells the stories of his victims and delves into his connections to the broader rock & roll and hollywood scene.…

Yes!

Emma Cline’s retelling of the story The Girls takes the same attitude - it was all about the rejection by Melcher.

I used to love him. I remember her wrote that note about there not being enough diversity in the house and everyone assumed Stephen wrote it. Someone needs to find Cynthia and Dan from RW: Miami. I loved them and would love to know what they were up to now. 

I could kind of believe this actually. I find Manson incredibly boring as an infamous figure/cult leader, and I think he was truly an egocentric sociopath who really wanted to be famous and was butt hurt that these big music producers weren’t blown away by his mediocre music. Ultimately, I don’t think he actually gave…

“We’re not anti-vaxxers,” he told me. “We’re ex-vaxxers. If you could prove that there are safe vaccines, we’d take them. But they can’t.”

It’s absolutely amazing to me that living in a world where there has never been greater access to knowledge and scientific research is making so many people even more stupid and less educated than they would be without that access.

Hawaii was definitely a turning point, but I don’t think people felt more fake at that point . . . just drunker. I feel like that was the season that MTV really discover that keeping the cast liquored up all the time changed the dynamic. But the cast members still felt like real people for the most part, just real…

Just let Bette Midler take care of litterers

Oh, I wanted to fuck him so bad back in the day!

You have done the Lord’s Work, Tracy. Seattle was probably one of my last seasons of truly being in love with the Real World.

It’s almost as though they dedicate their lives to being cops because they are racist.
