I haven’t paid attention to her in a while but I know before Manchester my dislike for her was almost unreasonable, after that I kinda told myself to relax a bit. I think she’s super talented and an amazing singer but seeing a person who has fuckloads of money lick a donut that someone will eat and think it’s funny...…

It’s sad and alarming that one thing they have in common is that they both are victims of terror attacks (Pete’s dad dying on 9/11 and her Manchester concert bombing). Welcome to the new world.

I feel bad for the girl but if he was not a famous black man, he would have seen some far lesser consequences. 

Agreed. However, I still believe the story was published irresponsibly. It should be a point of discussion and should have been managed in a way to facilitate conversation. It was treated as equivalent to a violent crime, versus a socially acceptable violation that we need to stop accepting as normal sexual life.

This right here. The Aziz story is a mirror to how each person feels about sex and consent.

Yup. I think naming names, in this situation, at that moment, was debatable, but the story sparked a good discussion that needed to be had, clearly, because so many of us have been in that situation.

Fine. Fine. I’ll watch it already. I get the picture.

Never understood people who think drowning an animal is a humane way to euthanize, cause it’s not. Some animals do need euthanized but find a better way. Last year between mine and my neighbors house appeared a rabid groundhog. We gave it every chance to leave but it was attacking my lawn mower, his dog, our family…

Knowing how my daughter loves all animals... she would not recover from something like that.

Fuck this guy, anyone killing animals out of anger in a deranged manner especially in front of a bunch of kids is reprehensible. Anyone or organization that tries to defend his character is a shit heel.

In the linked video, the parent of one of the students claims that the teacher had his students drown the animals and that he threatened anyone recording or photographing the incident with a referral.

“We must focus on all of the extremely positive and life changing things that this man has done for people”

Forget it, Jake... it’s Florida.

I’m apparently the lost Beale. I’ve never seen either film, but I feel like I have through osmosis. But I present this as evidence:

Add the raccoons and cat colonies and you have the stereotypical crazy cat ladies. This always fascinated me. I love animals and have entirely too many but a family of ‘coons living in a mansion...that crosses the batshit crazy threshold just a bit. Fascinatingly crazy but harmless.

It does not sound good. Would Big Edie manage to be flippant about her brother abusing her child? I actually wouldn’t be surprised... And victim blaming was very much the order of the day back then anyway. That may shed some light on why she chose to live in a rotting mansion with her stubborn mother when she had so…

Wealthy degrees Fahrenheit

Last year my friends threw me a Grey Gardens themed birthday party. We wore our best costumes of the day, drank from Mason jars and played GG Bingo while watching the movie. A friend even borrowed a raccoon pelt for the occasion. I got choked up by how happy I was that my friends so got me. A few friends had no idea…

So...Little Edie was sexually abused by her uncle? Or, as an adult, she fell incestuously in love with her uncle, Jackie O’s father? And that’s how she “learned about men”? Yeuuughh. CameNOT, amiright? (sorry).
