Only white lights look good on Christmas trees. If you must have multicolored lights, they only belong outdoors, and even then, I prefer those big-bulbed ones. I am sorry, but this is correct.

You should watch Broadchurch for more wonderful Olivia Coleman action. She’s fantastic in it.

“Samantha Learns a Lesson.” It’s about the protoganist’s friendship with the servant girl next door, who teaches her about the horrors of child labor. I specifically remember that Samantha is horrified by the story of a young girl having her hair sucked into the machinery and being scalped at the very least, but…

Not to quibble, but she wasn’t his first wife; she was a family friend. I point this out only to say that I don’t think he was responsible for *her* death (the original autopsy said it was a hemorrhage, and she’d been having intense headaches leading up to her death), but I do think he might’ve taken inspiration from…

I think that’s a very good definition of shade! It’s almost like speaking in code; being mean without outright saying the mean thing, but the person it’s directed toward gets the message.

My friend and I do an entire podcast about this very topic. I think mine was The Watcher in the Woods, but it may very well be Return to Oz. We’re gradually working our way through every upsetting childhood movie and show we can possibly find.

I checked out their site yesterday because they’re doing a partnership with a K-beauty brand I like, and they have a button on their nav for size 16. I guess that’s as far up as they go? And they have it all separated out on fat shame island? Fuck off, J. Crew. My fat money spends just fine, and it’ll spend it in…

The minute I saw this, I thought, “Well, Merle cast Guardian of Faith for the last time.”

Nope. I posted a vitriolic comment about how much I hated it. I’m just in the greys.

This book was the worst pile of garbage I have read in a long time. It made me angry at words. It was so overwrought. It was like an article in Food and Wine accidentally tried to grow a plot, and it was a horrible mistake. It’s the worst kind of book—a bad book that thinks it’s good. I hated every character. I hated…

There is a BBC version of Vanity Fair that is hard to find, but excellent. I’d watch that one over the Reese one if you can get your hands on it.

Ohhh my God I think I had to watch this in youth group as a kid.

Oh hey, fellow /r/unresolvedmysteries reader! Hysterymystery’s write-ups on this case are so well-researched and interesting. They definitely changed my mind about what I think happened.

Yup, correct. I’m a South Carolinian living in California (and feeling pretty good about it right now). Nikki was actually fine, considering that we’re going to have a Republican governor until there’s a major demographic shift. McMaster is a bad scene.

I think it’s spelled KKKabinet.

Full disclosure: Clarisonic used to be a client of mine. They are no longer, but I am something of a expert on the device and use mine religiously. It really does make a big difference. Their research shows it cleans six times better than just using your hand. What it does, in unscientific terms, is gently flex your…

Once again, Dethklok is on the bleeding edge.

It’s great. Some of it is a bit...romanticized. One gets the sense that Capote was charmed to some degree by one of the killers. He also takes some liberties with the facts. But overall, it’s excellent; fascinating and gut-wrenching.

May I be presumptuous and make some recommendations? You might enjoy Saga, which is an amazing sci-fi/fantasy series that has great female characters and is drawn by a woman. I also really like the new Ms. Marvel, which is kind of a YA book, but it’s so moving and funny and sweet. There are also a few great Black…

This story delights me with its nast.
