I’ve always felt there’s a connection between people who are attracted to serial killers/ having dangerous dogs that can’t be controlled/ collecting weapons. It’s a desire to control imminent threat — to be *behind* the danger, rather than in front of it. Cruz or Manson or Bundy would slaughter the world, but in a…

Agreed — it was terrible.

I only knew Dunham through her various media/social media kerfuffles, but watched GIRLS while recovering the flu a month ago and fell in love with her. I recognize the problems with the show, but it had a real effect on me. I did have a fever, admittedly.

Yeah, someone aborted their NOSES.

And her video claiming they were just “playing” and he never put his hands on her. It was like watching a terrified cult member.

That NBA Young Boy video is *brutal.*

That’s the spirit!

I’m going with Eleanor Roosevelt.

Three years ago I was in New Hampshire during that crazy winter and one afternoon was standing in a library looking out over many feet of unbroken snow and bright sun, lost in thought. When I started to gather up my things, I had my first optical migraine. I had no idea what it was. When I got back to my cabin, I…

She’s an institution, especially compared to Matt Smith.

The Bible doesn’t condone countless things you do every day, and you are surely aware of that. I’m not going to pull out the Deuteronomic Code or any of the passages from Leviticus, because they’re cited plenty in conversations about using 3,000 year old Hebrew law as a basis for being bigoted now.

I’m sorry, I misread your comment. I see you meant that lying under oath could get a very popular, qualified, brilliant president impeached, but Trump et al lie with impunity. I totally agree.

But Ken Starr first threw a net over his entire personal and professional life, and when one thing didn’t stick moved on to another and another, until voila, Linda Tripp.

Same with the having no money to protect so no pre-nup. I’d also add we had twenty very happy years; divorce was less likely than one of us dying of smallpox. But last year he had a medical crisis and left me for three months, stunning everyone, and *now* I do have assets to protect. You never know why you might need…

I’ve noticed this, too, and even in single moments in a film. Steve Martin can deliver a surprisingly heartbreaking line in what’s otherwise a comedy. And remember how shocked everyone was by Robin Williams’ dark movies?

I find it to be worse when they’re revealed to be rational, yes, because then there is NO comfort.

Daaaaamn, this is good.

A group of my friends came to my house to watch MTV air its first video and I’m solidly Gen X, so I’m thinking you must be right.

Perfection.

True for me since I was twelve years old.
