There used to be this old game show I’d always watch in the middle of the night where they’d trot out relatives of famous people and a “celebrity” panel would try to guess the famous person by asking questions.

I know, right?

He was probably waiting for this day, at least since the book was published. Michelle McNamara wrote exactly how she imagined it going down, and that would seem pretty vivid and prophetic if you’re the guy. He must have been resigned.

Not to mention he could not resemble the guy less.

I think it only looks that way to people who’ve not been following this, because if you do you see it as a picture of Michelle McNamara, pictured with her husband, as opposed to Patton Oswalt with a woman. :)

That was one of my first thoughts.

There will be a press conference later today.

That would be very “the call is coming from inside the house.”

DNA and computers have helped different police forces cooperate and tie together cases they only suspected were related.

100% DNA match is being reported, along with the detail that he’s talking.

All I know is they’re saying 100% DNA match.

I’ve been pretty giddy about this for the last couple hours. Loved the book, and wanted this found for all the obvious reasons, but also as the fulfillment of Michelle McNamara’s efforts.

You’re basically doing the “I was spanked and I grew up fine” argument. No one has a perfect childhood, and I can’t imagine one where there’s no bullying. That doesn’t mean adults need to do half the work for the bullies by feeding them stereotypes.

Definitely a huge part of my childhood!

I think guys don’t want to be inconvenienced or shamed by a woman’s diet. She has to be thin while eating the stuff he likes to eat lest he reevaluate his food choices.

You mean “I adore waifs that can blow away on the wind” Whedon.

I mean, Buffy Forever, but Joss needs to accept that what was progressive 11 years ago is behind the times now. It’s a spot of comfort to me in a country that seems to be regressing — people who care about discrimination continue to willingly evolve and to demand better from their new entertainment.

Yeah, it’s beautiful and we demand answers!

OMG — I’ve read Educated and Shrill!

This is nice to see.
