Now I want one of those ‘an eye of an eye’ type punishments where all these mayors are dragged to the beach and forced to strip down to their ratty y-fronts, while everyone points and laughs.

Stop being the “cool girl”TM and just say straight out you don’t support him.

I still remember the case around 2004 when an woman, moderately livejournal-famous, had made a post saying something to the tenor of she wished GWB would get ill and die. Not even be killed - die of a disease.

Have you seen Spy? Melissa McCarthy ends up with Jason Statham! (And keeps getting hit on by Peter Serafinowicz) It is awesome and amazing and I love it and there is not one Porky Pig-lookalike motherfucker in sight.

WHAT? I’m sorry, I just . . . WHAT?

I Trump, therefore I am?

I’ve watched the Game of Jones segment so many times now, I can sing along to: “I fucked up . . . I should have been nicer to people . . . “

Lol, poor Jon Snow!

I kind of love him too - it’s hilarious how posh he sounds in real life (along with Rose Leslie, heh).

There was the case in Dubai where a 15 year old Swiss boy was gang-raped by three men - when he reported it to the police, the doctor who examined him was only interested in getting him to admit that it was a tryst and that he was gay.

This, so much. I was thinking about The Dead Zone the other day (I wonder why), and how his downfall was caused by him using a toddler as a human shield. I never thought I’d see the day when that scene would seem kinda naive.

Lol!

Yes. I mean, I’ve been asking myself how the whole Euron business is going to fit in with the Winter is Coming, and y’all are fucked storyline - and now it turns out we’re going into Lovecraft territory? In other words, so far off the rails that the train is actually flying now? Oh, lord.

If you really want to watch this, wait for the pilot and don’t watch the trailer, which gives away everything - the entire plot of the pilot from beginning to end.

I can’t remember the movie but in the book, the boy’s rape is more graphically depicted because he’s the POV character in the book.

OMG you just read my thoughts when I looked at that picture.

I bought that on cassette tape, ok. I listened to it all the time on my Walkman (it was actually a Sanyo knockoff, like I could afford a Walkman).

I saw some of the commenters put Bill Cosby as a possibility.

I got my copy off Amazon (the English translation - my French isn’t good enough to read a whole novel), but that was over a decade ago when I was writing my thesis (on feminist post-apocalyptic SF). I don’t know if it’s still in print.

There’s a series of books like that, called The Maerlande Chronicles, by Elisabeth Vonarburg (originally in French).
