But he’s a victim too don’t you know, because he deserves sympathy for having a bad childhood... because it’s not like that’s actually quite common and most don’t use it as an excuse to torture people or anything.

Tom Cruise’s daughter selling lemonade at a Pride parade is just all kinds of awesome.

Men are so sad when a violent, repugnant man is murdered. They save all their sadness up in case the murder happens; that must be why they have no fucks to spare for the victims of these men.

She’s got my vote for the Columbo reboot.

They want it to be a thing. They are staging it to be a thing. But, alas, it is not a thing. I call bullshit. Nick has too many ‘roids on board to be able to satisfy a beautiful creature like Priyanka. She is better than being a beard (particularly with a Jonas).

Good on you, Dwayne. Lordy, I remember nursing my babies and feeling the energy just drain out of me. It would have been amazing to have someone feeding me at the same time!

I’ll take a bucket, please.

Goddammit. Someone get me a tissue.

I appreciated how Bourdain evolved from the cheeky American asshole in Cook’s Tour to the more respectful “I want to be everyone’s friend” in No Reservations to the “food is just how I talk about the bigger stuff” guy in Parts Unknown. He cut down on the wisecracking (somewhat) and turned into someone who was…

On the show, he would say, “I love you just the way you are.” One day I said, “Fred, were you talking to me?” And he looked at me and he said, “Yes, I’ve been talking to you for two years and you finally heard me today.” And I just collapsed into his arms.

Still shook.

Do you watch Crazy Ex-Girlfriend? I thought their handling of bpd this past season was done very well, and I’d be curious to hear what people who work in mental health and/or have bpd think of it.

I like this film a lot more than Caroline, but the one thing that did always bother me was the nature of Albert’s romantic interest in Allegra, seeing as he barely knows her beyond being a client, and it would thus appear that his infatuation for her is based on nothing more than her being drop-dead gorgeous.

Practically every romantic comedy starring a male lead, and indeed many films that aren’t romantic comedies, features a guy relentlessly pursuing a woman until she finally relents and says “yes” (Say Anything, recently lampooned by Deadpool 2, even features a stalker as its adorable romantic protagonist). It’s a very…

Exactly. I feel so sorry for Dylan. I had a long winded response all ready to go, including links to the 1992 custody case in response to some Allen apologist upthread, but then scrapped it. There’s just no point arguing with them. His supporters will cling to anything to defend him.

As someone that works with financially disadvantaged people for a living and have to constantly hear about people taking advantage of public assistance can we please break these numbers down?
