Between this comment and your feelings toward Investigation Discovery (and bongs; and losing days to tv), I feel like we may be kindred spirits... Or, at least, two people who have impeccable taste.

HOLY SHIT!! Over the last couple of weeks I haven’t been checking Jez as religiously as I normally do, so I didn’t understand your comment at first glance... Then I saw the “Recommended Stories” and the ‘forcing into a threesome’ headline... If a bunch of frat boys gang raped a girl, would the Jezebel headline be…

There’s a TV show on ID Discovery or a similar channel, called Wicked Attraction, that is basically all about that. I’m not saying it’s high quality programming, but its whole focus is ‘couples who kill’.

To quote Charlie Brooker (Guardian columnist, circa 2006): “I’m quite hardcore on this. I think every psychic and medium in this country belongs in prison. Even the ones demented enough to believe in what they’re doing. In fact, especially them. Give them windowless cells and make them crap in buckets.”

I’m so sorry. I know it’s probably meaningless in the grand scope of things, but I’m thinking of you and Jackie’s family and other friends.

My general rule of thumb is: if someone calls themselves “Dr (first name)”, I probably don’t want them treating me... This sentiment is amplified if the first name the go by is in fact a nickname - e.g. “Dr Richie” 0r “Dr Steve”... In my real life experience, to date, this has only blacklisted a lot TV celebrity…

I feel you. I don’t particularly like either Angelina or Brad; I even smirked a bit upon hearing of their split (I’m a jerk/horrible person), but I find this news really upsetting... I know that abuse is rampant and touches people across all demographics, but, for some reason, this (alleged) case seems to hit harder.…

Agreed!! It doesn’t reflect well on her, but, to me, it reflects 100 times worse on Brad... Presumably (i.e. assuming he and Jen were still together and in a monogamous relationship/marriage), he was betraying her trust, their relationship, his marital vows etc. by falling in love with, and later, shacking up with…

<3 I'm so sorry you went through that. I'm glad you and you dogs got out. I hope you are doing okay.

1. Hitting a pet is a legitimate warning sign for other violent/abusive behaviour (I don’t have a citation at hand, but I’m pretty sure this is quite well established/accepted).

I think next year? It’s definitely been renewed for a second season... and 2017 sounds about right, for some reason. I just checked and Wikipedia says 2017 too... Hopefully it will be early 2017!

100% agree! I would only sham marry someone I really liked/valued/trusted... Whereas I’ve gone on a series of dates/had relationships with some really shit guys.

Brad Pitt was literally 8 years his senior... All things considered (e.g. the abuser’s industry power at the time vs. Pitt’s career timeline etc.) it seems somewhat improbable that he’s the guy...

I’ve heard the same thing from other people who work for non-profits who have dealt with her personally... In one case they approached her for something small and she ended up offering (and delivering on) something huge (that has never been publicised outside of the organisation). I also hear that she is very present…

I remember watching the first episode and feeling decidedly so-so (not bad, but not super excellent - perhaps my expectations were too high), but I kept watching and it quickly redeemed itself and then some(to the extent that I re-watched the whole series several times)... The Parents episode and the episode about…

Does this mean we/the tabloids can declare that Jen won?

Pretty much! I love Jenny Slate, like Adam Scott and am quite OK with Nick Kroll... That’s not that far from a star-studded cast in my books.

As a non-USA person, I’m not really familiar with her work (only her name as it comes up in pop culture references and such)... But earlier this year one of the Jeopardy! contestants told a charming anecdote about meeting her in a bar and her (Katie) pulling some lighter/shot trick and just being a great sport all…

Whaaattt???? Really??? 😫💔

Reading it would help you learn! Just like how Youtube on my laptop being in Portuguese (??? no idea how that happened...) is going to strengthen my weak/non-existant Portuguese.
