I cancelled my HBO subscription right after I posted this comment.

I’m 30 seconds into the latest episode and just want to scream. The burden of proof for a grandparent to get guardianship/custody over a child in California is very high and this story line is unbelievably poorly researched and written.

tl;dr - what appears to be a simple question is not, and the answer from each is like asking 5 lawyers, “what color is the sky?”.  Answer: It Depends.

Pasty pasty white + red hair unfortunately becomes dominant in some families.

Come to think about it, all the states starting with the letter ‘A’ all seem to have Jello Shots and Shootin Guuuuns as a common pastime.  

For fans of the books, I highly recommend watching the reboot series on Netflix. While some may criticize the acting or possibly call the plot ‘full of cheese’, one should remember that the characters and stories were always written with a full palate of cheese (it was a newspaper serial, after all).

All it takes is an irresponsible parent to take their young kids into a pool while they are not toilet trained and in diapers.

THIS is the sum total of what Twitter should aspire to be.

Dreyfuss is a recovering alcoholic so I tend to believe that one dry asshole drunk is able to recognize another asshole drunk without much effort.

Pierce Brosnan is also a supreme asshole and all you have to do is move your eyes in his direction to get the “you are a low form of life, lower than bacteria” attitude from him. I’ve never had the displeasure of seeing Steve Martin anywhere but I’ve heard similar stories from others that have.

Oh boy. I was twenty...somethingish when this came out and I watched every episode. Every comment that says, “I was in 2nd grade when this came out” or “I was 10" just makes me cringe because it reminds me how old I am compared to the average Jez commenter.

The followers are the ones seeing the emperor wearing clothes when he is actually butt nekkid. THAT is cognitive dissonance. It is the Emperor that is lying.

COTD.  More stars.

I love Kanopy and learned about it here (thanks Gizmodo!). There will be a point in the near future where I will have to cancel all of my streaming services to study full time and remove distractions, but I will keep my Kanopy. At least Kanopy caps me at 10 movies a month so I don’t have to self-police.

Air conditioning is not a ‘thing’ in France or Europe, either. I hope at least their hospitals now have air conditioning after the last major heat wave that killed several sick people.

Great idea! I’ll have to get those for my battery case.

I’m sure I’ll get some hate replies on this, but Dolly sang it better.  Whitney’s version, while pitch perfect, sounds like a car alarm.  It was overplayed to the point of annoyance.

My favorite LGBT movie with Olivia Newton-John is “Sordid Lives”.  OhMahGah!!  It is a riot and Tammy Wynette never looked better.

AND Sal got so much more handsome and younger looking too!  Poor Kitty.

I love how people feel it is OK to engage in revisionist Manson history. I grew up 2 miles from Spahn Ranch in the 70s. My mother was friends with Gary Hinman’s mother. The “creepy crawlies” occurred on my block. I later worked with a LaBianca family member as a teen. Real people were murdered.
