Greg Tate, Eve Babitz, bell hooks, and now Joan Didion. This month has decimated my favorite authors luist. All love top theior friends and family. I’m gutted, can’t imagine how they feel.

Rest in peace, Ms. Didion.
Thank you for the amazing work you did.

Find me the year the top player left his throne and joined someone else?

So what you're saying is that when a moderate adopts progressive policies during his campaign, we should just know he's lying and not expect anything beyond "not being Donald Trump"? Because I'm not sure that you've got a long term strategy there...

I stopped watching after the plane crash but ended up catching up during Covid. The show is absolutely bonkers and occasionally infuriating, but now that I am caught up, I have started watching regularly again. I can’t explain it. Some sort of subliminal mind control perhaps. I guess it’s just comfortable and…

We must be around the same age. In my freshman year, my roommate and I had the biggest TV, so we hosted Grey’s Night every Monday (?) night. Which was super fun, don’t get me wrong, but I cannot understand how some crazy doctor drama I started watching in 2005 is still plugging along. I don’t remember when I stopped…

Of course, then they fall in love. 

Then the doctors do surgery on the heart in the field right?

The helicopter dropping on Ramano followed by Weaver directing his donation to a center for gay and homosexual health was amazing.

After working non-stop for 19 years I’m not sure why she’d even want to continue working.

I visit a lot of reddit “justice porn” and shock video subs and if there is an animal being hurt the comments are all “kill the person hurting the animal.” If a woman is being hurt its always “she deserved it” or sexist comments. Many men absolutely see us below animals.

She is very effective in this role. I can’t speak to her work outside of it, but she really did some good work in Greys.

Walked in on my gf watching this the other day. Took me a whole 15 seconds to tell her what was going to happen next. Show is so predictable. Put a heart transplant in a car with 3 main actors and you know that shits going off a cliff. 

It’s crazy to me this show is still on. I definitely watched the first few seasons, but they have to keep upping the ante and the show jumped the shark... I don’t know what the exact shark jump was, maybe ghost sex, but that might just be because you brought it up and I don’t remember specifics anymore.

Everything suggests that, while people probably didn’t know he was a rapist, they did know he was an alcoholic and a sexual harasser and abusive. The domestic violence allegations against him were public, there were lots of blinds about him harrassing women both on and off set. Zoe Lister-Jones’s account above pretty…

Had the opposite experience on a flight home from Miami last week. Several people were doing the chin-strap thing with their masks, including the mom and grandma of a kid who alternated screaming and croupy coughing the whole flight. I figured the flight attendants were probably so over it, or afraid of being jacked…

I was on a flight on Saturday and the flight attendant made no bones about the mask requirement. She said “I have to wear a mask for 12 hours today and I am having hot flashes. If I can do it, you certainly can wear yours for two hours.” That got a huge round of applause, and deservedly so.

I’m not an expert on this, but there isn’t enough discussion on the trauma that comes along with being adopted. My friend was adopted by an amazing family as an infant and struggled. I’ve read other stories as well. Even if the foolish were to ignore the risks of pregnancy and the trauma of labor, adoption isn’t…

He has past domestic violence allegations. So people were probably just waiting for more to come out.

Re: Justice Barret’s suggestion that women can just carry a pregnancy to term and then, like, drop the baby off at the fire department and skip merrily away: In that situation, what rights does the other parent have and doesn’t that kind of complicate this whole thing?
