This gives me a good excuse to post pics of Tom Hardy with his lucky cat.

Jesus Fucking Christ. There's no way I can eloquently express just how awful this is.

It's the wine that is still in the bottle when the cops show up and you have to go with them to answer all their nosy questions about how come your neighbors have drawings of dicks all over their house now and 30 llamas are chillin' in your yard.

Who says I've never been in a band? I actually fronted a seminal group called Frankie Goes to Hollywood, so, as we put it in our debut single: relax.

Oh my god, I would have spoken up mid sermon if someone had done that at my grandfather's funeral!

Careful who you invite to weddings and funerals. At my 82 yr old uncle's funeral, the priest gave a sermon on abortion. He borrowed from the Mormons and explained to everyone that it's not your body; it's God's body so it's not your choice.

Treason of Birth Control is a pretty good band name.

I received eleventy billion "nuh uh!" responses, which I've dismissed—thanks for keeping your disagreement polite. I wasn't around GM much over the weekend and got my news from local morning news and my Google newsfeed, all of which refer to this as "cop killer" "nypd massacre" etc. I'm glad everyone else is so…

Right? I mean, I am not a Michelin starred chef, and I haven't ever had Ranch in the house. I am sure the most he could have asked for in that level restaurant would be a mayo (probably house made) or an aioli. Industrialized salad dressings aren't a thing in real restaurants*.

IDK, I read about her on here, which is where I first heard of the story. I'm glad she is expected to survive. Maybe she can shed some light on his state of mind and his motivation.

I heard about it the first day, but since then there was been weirdly no mention of her. I listened to a story about this on NPR this morning and even THEY didn't mention her. It's bizarre.

Maybe we got different coverage in Canada, but I heard about her that same day and in the same story as the two cops.

Leaving out this story makes him look like a "cop killer" instead of a disturbed man on a rampage.

Out of this selection of stories, THAT's the one that bothered you?

This is the first I've heard at all of this first victim. I suppose it doesn't fit the police narrative that most media outlets were going for. I hope Ms. Thompson can find some comfort during her recovery.

Bullshit. Going to this kind of restaurant is like going to the Louvre and asking them to hang up some fucking Thomas Kinkade paintings. You're asking for an experience they don't fucking offer. Go somewhere that does, and stop wasting people's time.

I think that's rather deliberate on the part of the powers that be. Because if you say that Brinsley shot his girlfriend then went up to NYC to shoot a couple of cops in order to gain notoriety it doesn't quite read as victim-y as "the cops were shot down by someone from Maryland because of Eric Garner and Michael…

Never, ever forget that someone treated you badly when they thought you were an inferior. Those people go straight on your personal blacklist for life.

I once worked in a hospital, the same one as my dad, but as a lowly receptionist. This nurse was so horrible to me, shouted at me, belittled me etc. The next day she comes in, all sweetness and light, calling me darling etc., as she's worked out my surname (which is a pretty unusual one) is the same one as my dad's,…
