I think the guard with the shaved head (who made Blanca stand on the table) might just be really young and immature and used to following orders. He made her stand there on the spur of the moment and didn’t really know what to do with her after he did that. It’s the same kind of thing a young and inexperienced parent…

Cindy is still figuring out what it is to be Jewish, though. She wasn’t raised in Jewish culture, and she currently doesn’t really have any examples to follow inside, either. We don’t know Allison’s backstory; somewhere I read said she was Nation of Islam, so she might also be a fairly recent convert, or she might not…

I wonder if maybe her father asked for time to contact other family members before they released her name? Caputo spoke to him before the news conference, but all we heard him say was the she was not okay. He completely fumbled the speech, but there is a small chance he had a reason for not saying her name, which…

She had no understanding of what she was doing, so yes, I feel bad for her. She’s about as developmentally progressed as the child who died and there is no possible way she could understand what she did beyond it being a “bad thing.” She needs help, and not just in some institution where no one gives a shit about her.…

Vee DID use her as a weapon.

He called her dad before, when he went outside. I guess maybe her dad might have asked for time to call the family? But more than not saying her name, he made it sound like her fault and that if any prisoner said otherwise, they were lying. That’s just unforgivable.

I think her revealing she carries is a Chekov’s gun moment...because where is she now? The bathroom on a corridor where a large amount of angry inmates are gathered. Bitch is either coming out of that bathroom shooting or is going to be overpowered and lose her gun to one of them who will hide it away for later. We…

Finished earlier tonight. And this season is absolutely devastating on so many levels. Try to avoid spoilers if you can, because it’s really good.

Well, this may not work for your book club because of length, but I never miss an opportunity to promote Jacqueline Carey’s Kushiel’s Legacy series. It starts with Kushiel’s Dart and features a bisexual heroine. If you like fantasy, it’s one of the best.

I (like a lot of other people) don’t get to see Broadway shows unless they are on tour and I have the time and money to go. That means I’ve seen Cats twice and Evita once. I am thrilled that are planning to make a movie, and I hope it stars the original cast because Idina Menzel and Kristin Chenowith are amazing. This…

I have always thought Broadway worships at the feet of the legends whereas Hollywood prioritizes youth. I think that’s whythere is more diversity and quality on stage than screen (for the most part).

She is so beautiful!

Aw, I loved having a big/little. It was fun for us, but we were a really small group so everyone was in on it together.

That’s how it was for the band sorority/fraternity. We memorized the rules, did service projects, and had socials. There were a few prank type activities, but none were cruel or anything. It was all in good fun; no one got hurt (physically or mentally or emotionally), and it made for strong bonds forged on mutual…

I was in the band sorority, and the list of things they (or the band frat) couldn’t do to pledges was long and explicit (I figure if it was on the list, at some point it had been done!). We had an amazing time, and all we had to do was stuff that was the whole point of those groups anyway—service to the band. There…

I have to wonder if the outrage from unexpected sources is because two men caught him in the act. If she had not had witnesses, would their reactions have been the same? I hate to be so cynical; it’s just that this completely appropriate widespread moral outrage happening now is something new and unexpected. Maybe it…

Yesss! I knew I was leaving people out, and she is definitely one of them!

Avoiding repeats in other comments:

Yep! And a woman has already contracted this while fishing in the Gulf this summer. It’s even more risky because of all the crap they put in the wayter after the oil spill fiasco.

The fact that this fucker ran away when confronted should have proven he was well-aware that he was committing a crime.
