see also: Michael Jackson. Amazing to read in comments “those are just art books” with the recent police report revelations about the books w/pics of naked kids found in his place. as w/sandusky, there’s report after report... at what point is enough information enough? (Cosby, Sandusky, Saville, Jackson...)

i’m going to say what styopa wrote is complete bullshit, after reading the comments below yours. 5K a year for some people is not “trivial part-time money”, especially when all other costs are just being met. 5K just doesn’t appear out of nowhere. in fact, with some commenters saying they were working full time etc.…

interesting article. it also works at the top end. you can accelerate your purchase of real estate, stocks, gold, etc. if there is a crisis that causes a sudden drop in prices; you can also “buy bulk” (more shares, more land) if you have the capital.

Anyone who really paid attention (i.e. read police reports, etc.) knew that Jackson was a pedophile. I was convinced because of the pattern: separating kids from parents for overnights & trips; the oddly specific “jesus juice” booze plus pop offered to the kids (to get them drunk); the boys mentioning there was porn…

so true; the lumberbeard-plus-50s hair plus one-armed sleeve tattoo is so ubiquitous that i can’t even be bothered to finish this c

By the way, after being molested, did you file a report? What actions did you take? Why or why not? What was the result? (serious quesiton, not trolling).

What a stupid statement. Cosby got away with it for decades and decades and decades. As did Sandusky, Jimmy Saville, etc. There were hints, rumors, suspicions... but the fame & power & wealth of the perps all helped to keep the vicitms silent.

It was owned by the daughter of Auschwitz survivors (one of the edition of 3 was.)

I’ve seen this work (it’s an edition of 3). It was in the context of a private collector’s foundation/gallery. She displayed it alongside thousands of vintage pictures of people with teddy bears she’d bought from eBay. Many hundreds of the photos were Nazi’s holding bears. She also had purchased & displayed a rare…

“I want” doesn’t mean “I’m owed”. Just because there are all these games / movies / songs you’d like to have doesn’t mean it is a human right, like say, access to water or air. I’d rather someone just say “I stole it” period, rather than say “cuz I was broke”. It’s not food, it’s entertainment. Pretty sad when your…

am i the only one that find your comment toxic? (is your employer a wall street bank, and were you involved in derivatives? or insider trading? or narcolaundering? or, or, or?)

snap a time-stamped photo begining of each class? tell the students you’ll be doing it. after the calss, use your eyes, or facial recognition software (?) comparing it to their student id. probably could do it in five minutes once you start to recognize everybody. i’m a fan of privacy, etc. but if they already have to…

Lady Gaga. Lana Del Rey. Taylor Swift. Adam Levine. Daft Punk. Miley Cyrus. Robin Thicke (etc.) All came from wealthy families.

to assuage health-guilt: add a tomato slice ontoppa that cheese slice.

Hey Eric, you didn’t talk about health costs or issues, like delaying dental or doctor trips, etc. Any stories?

i initially thought colbert was a terrible choice (due to the persona/real person issue), but then i saw him interview a politician, and it was surprisingly moving (letterman never could do that); then colbert performed a hilarious set with a band (suddenly dancing after being dead still) and i thought: this man is a…

let me guess: Lopez has a new album or book coming out. so tired of PR tricks fooling writers.

“I’m gonna pinch one out about this long. While standing.” (Proof at 3 seconds into video.)*

Does this count as good writing (written for Vanity Fair, but not published)? In a textual way, I mean.
