Hey Bryan Adams actually seems like a nice person snapping away with his camera in relative obscurity. ( The Princess Diana song was weird though, although come to think of it she probably would have been better off with him rather than Charles).

“it’s a tragedy of even greater magnitude. Since this story was first announced, there have been people capering madly for reasons to call him a liar.”

She’s really good in “The Alienist”. It’s well worth a watch so long as you aren’t squeamish. 

My initial reflex is to always believe the victim in crimes like this. Some things did seem “off” about his story but people handle trauma differently. I guess we’ll have to see how it all plays out.  On the one hand I don’t know what he stood to gain except raising his profile, on the other hand now that the story is…

I didn’t either, nor Tolstoy, but they are both considered icons way after their deaths. Can’t imagine Ryan Adams being remembered for that long.

Lol, of course he hasn’t read about it - one of his aides said that it said nice things about him. Please let one of the more fed-up people in his orbit rave about one of the many anti-Trump books out there/coming soon, telling him it makes him sound great. He’d recommend it on Twitter in a heartbeat.

Maybe they’ll rise again? (I mean it would make for some awesome headlines, but it seems unlikely)

It’s a bit like the UK press regarding the Royal family. They have the obituaries and obligatory photo magazines done years in advance - they just update it when something notable happens. When the Queen Mother the tributes and articles were printed pretty much as soon as she died.

My mum is seventy and is smarter than I am, takes care and competes with her horse and helps out with autistic kids with horse therapy. Also paints and runs a book group. she is the opposite of Trump, that said she reckons anyone her age would not make a good President because by then you are too set in your ways. I’d…

It’s halfway through February and this is the 38th mass shooting. I hope that no one was fatally wounded, but I wouldn’t bet on it. In the meantime your President is giving incoherent speeches about how dangerous Mexicans are and declaring a state of emergency because he can’t get enough money for his stupid wall and…

I suppose a Twix isn’t too bad, but American chocolate tastes horrible - really artificial, especially the abomination that is Hershey’s. I got sent “proper” chocolate while I was staying in the states from the UK. The usual Dairy Milk range etc is actually nice, and we can get the nice Swiss stuff like Milka in most…

“Great works are made by damaged men”. Quite a lot of them are - although by today’s standards they would be more accurately described as assholes with talent. I know that Ryan Adams has his fans, but “great works”? Come on, he’s just another whiny emo man who has a few good songs but is mostly forgotten. Hemmingway,…

But he lost the popular vote, he’s had 6 bankruptcies, his approval rating is in the toilet and the ghost writer for his most popular “book” called writing it “like putting lipstick on a pig”. Everyone now knows that he has a tiny penis as well as tiny hands due to messing around with Stormi and he has Eric and D jr…

I like a lot of the shape shifter romance covers where the cover has a picture of a random animal- usually a bear or a tiger and they just slap a picture of a shirtless dude with the occasional half dressed woman too.

I was thinking of “Children Of men” where the sole woman who could give birth has to get somewhere safe to give birth. She was helped with a man and it’s pretty bleak, but still better than having to watch anything by Casey Affleck.

I don’t know if it counts as horrific - in my mind it was just weird. I am a bit famous in my family for attracting weirdos on public transport, so my mileage probably varies from other peoples. I remember having a bit of my hair pulled out while I was on the bus. It was by three middle aged Japanese (I think -…

It’s the same with neo-nazis. Hitler would have hated them, Nazism was a specific form of fascism based around the “purity” of the German race. Some dipshit with a swastica tattoo who wasn’t German would not have been invited with open arms.

“I was a big fan of Frank Robinson”. Really Trump ? That tweet sounds like you read the first few pages of his Wikipedia page and then gave up reading further. (Which to be fair is probably how he does most of his research unless his aides give him a coloring book to explain world affairs).

I’m not that surprised to hear that. The hoops that people will people will jump through when it comes to ignoring science is mind boggling.

Wow, this is a sort of mash-up of “WTF America”. Gaetz do not try and have an argument regarding gun control (which is popular with voters who aren’t funded by the NRA) with a grieving parent. Then try to pivot to the stupid wall that no-one but Trump wants. Don’t people like him have proof readers for their speeches?…
