This reminds me of the murder of the young actress Dominique Dunne back in the ‘80s. An ex who had been stalking her eventually strangled her to death. The defense team painted her as a promiscuous, cruel woman who had used and discarded him, driving him to the point where he was consumed by rage and jealousy and…

They won’t give a shit.  Divorces are a dime a dozen with that crowd. If there were any logic or consistency to their worldview, they would care but alas.

It may have spoiled the reveal, but MGM is getting more pub and selling more tickets by revealing the twist and announcing the temporary 007 is black and motivating people who wouldn’t have been interested in the film to buy tickets to support and “stick it” to the racists.

THATS RIGHT!!!!!!!! IT ALL STARTED WITH THE PRESIDENCY!!!! BUT WE TAKING ALL YOUR AMERICA NOW!!!! THE BLACKENING HAS STARTED!!!

Although I see why it’s different, to me is offensive Lopez playing a Mexican when there are millions of Mexican women in this country, it is to me because I am one, there aren’t lots of good roles for Mexican woman other than prostitutes or maids or things related to drugs, she meant a lot to Mexican women in your…

Speaking as a trans person, I’d rather there be no movie than one that perpetuates the shitty false narrative that trans men are actually just women in drag.

You know, as an actor I should be allowed to play any person

Another one that I was thinking of whilst preparing breakfast (sausages, eggs, proper bacon and not that laminated shite you Americans seem to love, with toast)...

Yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss! A thread I can contribute multiple stories to!

I grew up in a very small town. On the edge of town there was a cemetery used mainly by the three or four oldest families in town. When you walk around it most of the gravestones have the same last names for deaths from the 1890s up until the 1990s when I last visited.

But in THAT situation, the soldier would have gone crazy when the hospital staff tried to get back up the steps and the horse would have to shoot him

Please everyone tell creepy stories I don’t want to wait until Halloween!

OK, fine - this is the one I recall from scenic Springfield, Ohio:

I went to Interlochen Arts Camp from 1993-1996 and had an amazing time there. The camp was very strict about how and when campers were allowed to come and go. But this still gives me the mega creeps. 

DSM terms slip into the common lexicon and culture so easily. I read a fairly crazy letter to an advice column today and all of the commenters immediately started declaring that this woman had Munchausen’s! What she would have had (if she had been doing something entirely different) was Munchausen’s By Proxy, but she…

I’d argue the evidence does point to her being socipathic, at least in some degree: she had planned this out. She did a “dry run” of it days earlier it actually happened by sending out lots of texts and messages to friends and classmates talking about how she can’t reach her boyfriend (lying, because she had actually…

This makes things awkward for my username. I didn’t know this podcast existed until right now. I’ve been going by The Red Scare on the internet since like 2008

Oh, it’s 100 percent a grift. The system feels increasingly broken, and there’s a ready audience (and ready money) for people who can validate that. 

I hate myself for immediately thinking this is a shit-stirring tactic and Patreon is a way to fund it. Does this make me a tinfoil hat-wearer? Or are we at the point where batshit crazy is the new normal?

I would deeply love to not care about this, but Red Scare and Chapo House are *huge* on Twitter if you even slightly try to engage in leftist discourse. It is... startling, to say the least, to get called a centrist neoliberal white feminist shrill by people who espouse the viewpoint that white supremacy isn’t really…
