This woman sounds like a badass. My 90 year old grandpa who is in glowing health also never drinks water, he only drinks coffee, wine, and hard alcohol, preferring whiskey and gin to other options. Maybe there’s something to that?

I love how this scumbag accuses Flavie Flament of seeking “fifteen minutes of fame” when she was already quite well-known and didn’t even directly name him in his memoir.

Yeah, all you have to do is google his name, click on “images” and I mean goddamn this should not come as a surprise to ANYONE. I had never heard of this guy before and ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

“blue-eyed girls with flower crowns, who he sought out on the street and at the beach”

“David Hamilton was known for his nude photos of young girls, many in their early teens.”

Way to cover yourself in glory, Morocco. The makeup that covers up domestic violence only leaves you farther behind. Time for legal reform. Join the twenty-first century; it’s nicer here, the air is clearer and fresher for the more than fifty percent of us with penises. Still a lot of work to do, but getting better. 

I mean, if that’s the case, maybe if you’re going to go run to a stockroom like that you’re not fit for the job dealing with the public?

Racism is not a mental illness, nor is mental illness an excuse for racism.

the panicked employee who had called the cops was being “counseled and retrained.”

I am, again, legit horrified by race relations in this country - but how did they look around a CVS for 30-45 minutes?

I am SO glad that baby was ok but goddamn I’d throw every ticket in the book at those parents. PROPERLY RESTRAIN YOUR CHILDREN!!! (And remember no puffy winter coats in the car seat! Use them like a blanket over the child once they’re already strapped in!)

Better a Tom Cruise Lestat than whatever the hell was going on in the Queen of the Damned movie. That was the worst thing I have ever seen. I’m looking forward to this TV adaptation.

I am torn between joyous optimism and fear that we will end up with a Tom Cruise Lestat. Though if Anne Rice is involved, we will have better casting.

“Free Speech Zone.”

I should also point out that in the acknowledgments, she dedicates this book to Melissa Mathison, Ford’s second wife.

A few years ago, we saw her live doing Wishful Drinking on Broadway. Two things about the wonderful performance: we sat in the front row and were anointed with glitter by Fisher; as we were leaving, some uptight old broad from the UES kept saying, loudly, “Oh, she was so beautiful—what happened? Why did she let…

It’s pretty astounding how much of a non story this is. I’m sure it’s because of the holiday weekend, and of course not totally unexpected, but Castro was one of the most influential political figures of the 20th century.

Women are mutilated by their partners on such a regular basis that it barely makes the news. In my area alone in the last 2 years a woman’s husband cut her breasts off and a woman who went to my high school had acid thrown in her face by her bf. The acid thrower got a whopping 2 years in prison.

Reddit has been like this ever since Pao got kicked out. They wanted Reddit to be as “free speech” as 4chan and now they got it. Colour me not surprised.
