As a 30-year-old with similar struggles (something like eight rounds of Accutane starting in middle school—hooray!), I’ve been really impressed with the results of Biologique Recharche, an extremely fucking expensive French product I first saw on this site. Then again, it hasn’t really prevented my deeper, more…

Yours is the first other I’ve heard of.

OH MY GOD! I HAVE A DITA TOO (HENCE MY USER NAME).

More like propofol. Wake me up when it’s 2021 (assuming the world still exists by then).

Well, goddamn it. Now I’m fervently hoping for a quantum reset right alongside Angela. Whatever world Elliot & co. are in, it’s a lot darker without Trenton and Mobley in it.

Let’s just hope Sean’s encore doesn’t last as long as Jimmy-Steve’s. I could see them wrapping up this storyline in one or two episodes.

Actually, I do think context is (somewhat) important here. He was responding to a direct question about whether it would ever be possible for the many men being accused of sexual misconduct in the middle of a very long interview that clearly had “deep, philosophical” aspirations, and the gist of his whole response in…

I’ve heard the same is true of the writings of Elmore Leonard: mediocre pot boilers in their original form that have been transformed into movie/television masterpieces—including Justified, 3:10 to Yuma, and Jackie Brown. (Don’t know if I’d call it a “masterpiece,” but Get Shorty is another Leonard-inspired movie that…

While I’m willing to accept any and all critiques of Cooper’s writing style as pretty much legit...I don’t buy all this love for the movie. I can see how the changes they made might be more appealing to twentieth century audiences from a purely narrative point of view, but those same changes require disregarding…

Update: I’ve been told that Walgreens may have a similarly priced/sized generic ($5/6 blister bandages) too.

He said/they said

Except it’s not our place (or Cranston’s, for that matter) to decide whether or not sexual abusers are deserving of forgiveness. It’s their victims.

My point was less about the self-referentiality, more about the potentially condescending tone/word choice: think about the history of Southern authority figures addressing black men as “boy,” for instance.

Nothing screams, “I recognize women as complex, capable human beings in their own right” like having your first-person female protagonist repeatedly refer to herself as a “girl.”

I don’t buy that it’s impossible for authors to create effective characters who don’t share their own cultural background, but it does take a lot more research and imagination. Science fiction stories have a long history of incorporating (often token) “minority” characters to signal that they’re set in a more…

Dude, did anyone bother to read beyond the headline? Her whole point is how perfect the bad writing is for a character in high school. I, as a former freshman comp instructor, can confirm this.

Painfully aware this is like a month too late, but...don’t you mean porgses?

Oh, Jesus, what an embarrassing typo. “Buy” blister bandages, say “bye-bye” to overpriced “pimple patches,” I guess.

Starring for colloidal collusion, haha.
