The Dark Tower is definitely worth finishing. Although I would rank the first three books higher than the back half, they still had some amazing and memorable moments, and really tie in most of King’s works into a giant spider web of horror. 

I’ll say that the scene where Bev’s dad completely goes off the deep end and chases her across town is bar none the scariest scene in the book.  By far.  Nothing IT manages to do even approaches this part.

This is damn good writing, A.A. It resonated with me in many ways. Like you, it seems, I grew up in a household that could be kindly described as volatile, under the thumb of a cruel and violent stepfather and a mother who encouraged and occasionally participated in what he did. And also like you, I first read IT at…

Noted drunk asshole Orson Welle’s burns are downright PRESCIENT.

I notice that men like Woody have a way of asking creepy questions in a way that doesn’t seem creepy... just genuinely curious, which is what actually makes it fucking creepy.

They are expected to use evidence of her eating disorder, her time on the cheerleading squad and track team, and her participation in the National Honor Society—evidence Richardson’s defense has used to paint her as a rule-abiding overachiever

I have no doubt that he’s very believable. Like, super believable and seems to be telling the truth, clearly, for her to say this in public despite *everything.*

Good for her! She finally gets to be part of a national conversation that has been about her and at her, but not with her.

And of course, ‘tis the season for pumpkin spice IPAs (aka, PSLs for white dudes).

There’s a local doughnut shop where I live that makes a cinnamon sugar doughnut that has a cream cheese filling and it is delicious. If I was a bigger fan of pumpkin spice, I would probably eat these. 

I find out about more youtubers these days by them not apologising for misbehaviour than I do by looking for good content.

Only if I’m right in believing that she was the one who leaked those two pages of his tax returns right before the election.

I truly feel for her because there is no good way to respond to national press reports that your fat buffoon of a father supposedly doesn’t want to take pictures with you because he thinks you’re overweight. Sure it’d be awesome for her to reply with “Hey pot, looking in the mirror!” but as I’m confident he’s paying…

I mean, my mum noticed I had a very restrictive diet (probably for reasons similar to this condition) and had me on multivitamins. They were these chalky strawberry things and I didn’t like them (I only liked the gummy ones) but she gave them anyway because my fruit and veg intake as a child despite her best efforts…

But they never once considered putting him on multivitamins until the damage was irreversible? Like, if the guy was eating one type of meat and one vegetable, they maybe should’ve considered that nutrition MIGHT be an issue.

he was def driving

Will you survive the present-day neo-feminist McCarthyism which, as well as chasing you all over the world and trying to prevent the screening of your films, among other vexations got you expelled from the Oscars Academy?

“wearing more neon”

For someone whose platform has mostly been based on race, he sure doesn’t seem to give much of a fuck for the black Trans people being murdered at an alarming rate.

I think Prince Andrew’s people are a big driving force behind the ‘feud’ between Harry/Meghan and William/Kate being pushed in the British press. The Andrew stuff is actually criminal and repulsive and yet the press is breathlessly reporting on how the younger royals are flying and where they’re eating.
