Does anyone else think it’s possible that one guy kidnapped a woman, is calling her “girlfriend”, and a rescue party needs to go out and save her? Because that whole controlling her food thing was the freakiest and most disturbing thing I‘ve read this week.

How do we feel about Tampons for people from Tampa?

If I found that out about any of my buddies, we’d probably cease being buddies.

Lifelong Chicagoan here - As the daughter of a retired CPD officer, I can tell you that the union is damn near impenetrable for such a thing to occur. Basically, your fuck-up would have to be perfectly epic in order for them not to be able to get you out of some shit (see above).

She’s right, and this should be our response to Franken. We don’t get to only condemn bad behavior when it’s committed by people we hate.

Silverman doesn’t specify whether she’d known about the allegations before Louis C.K. confirmed them.

It will 100% be in film schools. Part of my takeaway was “white people are terrifying”. And not because of the horror scenes.

“Electric Jesus”

I have a neighbor who put money down on a Tesla Model 3 expecting delivery this month. She sold her car and was driving a scooter around town when they didn’t deliver on time. Now the delivery is pushed back to January (optimistic) and she’s had to rent a car to fill the gap. This has not affected her devotion to…

Tesla and Elon Musk have an Apple like following that I cant stand, especially on Jalopnik where I frequent. Because of that you’re gonna get calls of bullshit from the accusers because they blindly think this man is single handedly changing the world and him nor his company can do no wrong. Tesla is overhyped and…

Thank you! That was both interesting and morally satisfying.

They’re cultural vampires. What’s easiest, drawing from a rich and storied history to make the culture of your ancestors include a little bit of yourself so that you can pass it along to your progeny, or just taking a poor facsimile of things you find interesting, patching them together like a low-rent Frankenstein’s…
