I don’t know when it happened exactly (2021? 2022?) but at some point I started to really dislike the idea of dramatizing documentaries. “Three Identical Strangers” is excellent and I don’t see what there is to gain, artistically, by making this show. I hope the families are supportive of the project, at least.

I think it’d be easier to be sympathetic here if he just owned up to what he did. What’s all that about cancel culture? Why does he talk so much about the imbalance of power but stop short of anything that might get him in real trouble? The thing he claims to be doing - “own his mistakes, take accountability”? He…

I seem to remember MTV only player Smack My Bitch Up by The Prodigy after midnight.

THANK YOU. I watched it after I knew about THE SCENE so I was expecting it and I still missed it. When I rewatched it looking for it I saw the guy in the pink tie kinda (?) moving (?) towards Gaetz. He probably said something provocative and that’s why bowtie guy tried to stop him (hilariously) but I didn’t see him lun…

You're right, thank you.

I read about this earlier (and someone was saying that Connie Ortiz was the sister, in which case she almost definitely knew about the whole thing) and it's so beyond I can't believe she ever thought it was reasonable to post THAT. Even if you get her every benefit of the doubt, which, ?????, "let the fun begin"?…

You guys, I’m not sure cause I wasn’t there but I really don’t think Trump "donated to Lauren Boebert" 🤫

I’m so sorry. I hope you have people who are there for you, you need support too. I can’t imagine how it felt hearing your daughter say that but I think that the fact that she did (as opposed to keeping it to herself) means she’s trying to fight. Wishing you, your family and your friend all the best.

Awful, awful news.

Didn’t she also play “[...] the other woman, the object of desire [...]” in WA's Match Point?

Thanks, I appreciate that.

Can you elaborate, please? I’ve read that too but what does it actually mean? Make his life miserable how? Would they keep him from doing something? Force him to do something?

If Republicans win the House, will Democrats/Biden be able to do anything for the next two/four years?

“I never saw my friend rape anyone therefore he didn’t rape anyone” is always a bad argument. No one would be shocked if CoS made stuff up but that doesn't seem to be the case here.

I'm glad you mentioned Jezebel but I would still love to see (collective) you reckon with your part in all of this (even if those writers are gone now), not only because accountability is important but also because I think it would be a really interesting article.

Kevin was genuinely terrifying when Allison said she wanted a divorce. I thought he might get physical. Great work by Eric Petersen.

I’m almost tired on FP’s behalf. It seems like she’s in the news nonstop now for just existing, basically. There’s no indication of bad behavior afaik but she’s still written about as if she’s involved in drama.

“However, I think it’s reasonable to say no one involved in the Wagatha Christie trial is reasonable.”

Jane is going to write her story, Ian is going to be exposed and probably Jane too, for her inappropriate relationship with her subordinate (we all know it’s coming). I don’t care about Scott so if he ends up leaving I’m okay with that.

It’s been a while since I’ve watched it but I remember loving season one. If I recall, Jamie’s abuse went on forEVER in a way I felt wasn’t necessary, but Black Jack was exactly the kind of character who would torture someone like that. Watching season one, I didn’t get the sense they were abusing the characters just…
