True, but I got the feeling that she is claiming he was this way then, and hasn’t changed (see the example about the production companies he uses to advance only friends’ projects). I have no idea if any of that is true, but her complaints made sense.

Bitter, sure, but she made some good points, no? If she asked Will to organize and ask for more money for their show, and she got that answer (“I got my deal, you got your own deals”), she has a point.

Maybe she takes issue with Gaga being a blonde?

It’s probably Facetime numerology sessions with an astrologer from the Ukraine.

Right? Incredible shit.

Like Octopit, I laughed.

Jia, signing the petition to have benjaminallover ungreyed. Please?

That was a truly brilliant episode. God I miss those guys.

I read several excerpts online. It’s really as bad as they say.

A slave who smiles at his child or looks happily at a blue sky is a different thing from “the only thing that put a smile on Hercules’ face was when Lady Washington walked into the kitchen” (approximate quote). The book shows slaves taking pleasure in their masters’ happiness as if that was their purpose in life. It’s…

Precisely because she writes about culture, as well as because she’s a woman of color, I’m a bit surprised at the tone deafness. The book sounds like such a bad idea. I wonder how she pitched it to the publisher.

When I was a kid, I would dream of somehow acquiring the superpower of exterminating all mosquitos (and flies) with one flick of my magic wand. They were the bane of my existence. Do they do any good? Are they good for some crucial bird species? I hate them.

Fuck you. I only said 12 years was enough. I never said she should do anything but her 12 years. Sorry about your sister.

Let’s hope it stays in the realm of fiction! If the guy ever does that to you, I know a guy who knows a guy. Legs may or may not be broken is all I’m saying :)

Your scenario is 100% acceptable.

Well, it’s true that, for a person who wants her executed, 12 years is not going to seem like enough.

There aren’t nearly enough of those to make a serious dent in the carceral population in the US.

And some are voting for republicans because they hate women and minorities. So what? It’s called democracy.

Really? What’s a better punishment? We complain about mass incarceration in the abstract but want to keep everyone in prison forever in the concrete.

Glad to see this view as well. I only know the Girls series, but that’s enough for me to understand that she is a talented writer. I can’t not respect that.
