It’s worth pointing out that in her book, she talks about having been groomed and eventually molested by a teacher when she was in the 8th grade. The guy isolated her from her friends, told her the other girls were jealous of her, praised her for being “mature” and “special.” And eventually molested her in his car…

I have no idea why now the Razzies are getting criticism only now for their nomination of children, they’ve been doing it forever. They nominated Aileen Quinlan (9 yo) for Annie and Mara Hobel (also age 9, nominated twice by the Razzies, way to stick to the Man, guys!) for Mommie Dearest. And I really think it’s only…

Right? Watching that video (for the first time I think since that incident happened), I find both the thrower’s aim (right to the head!) and Bush’s quick reflexes very impressive!

Think of the synergy!

I read that article in mounting horror this morning between the classes I teach, like seriously, Woody? Et tu? Universe is gonna ruin him away for me like it did Loretta Lynn and James Caan (both hardcore Trumpers).

Yeah, I wouldn’t mind learning more about the factory blowing up during the Easter Egg hunt. 

The murder of Adrian Mellon in the novel, when he was thrown off the bridge during the festival, was actually inspired by a real-life incident: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Charlie_Howard.

He did the same “swallow your fricatives” (Ds and Ts) thing that Robert Pattinson did in Twilight. “I’m on a special thieth” (instead of diet). I think they all study the same YouTube video or something :) 

Oh my God. I well remember those older editions of the Hardy Boys—-yikes. Same with the original editions of the Bobbsey Twins—the depiction of Sam and Dinah is jaw-droppingly racist. And in the first volume Flossie makes sure her “colored” doll is separated from her other dolls in the drawer where they “sleep” by…

I think her wardrobe is supposed to be meh so...success?

I know that’s DeSantis’s point—but not every parent in Florida is as stupid as he wants them to be. As ruby red as its legislature is, the population is more nuanced than that, as evidenced by the surprisingly liberal ballot initiatives that get passed from time to time there. At some point the intelligent ones are…

If any Florida parents have the slightest hope their child will get into a decent college, they have got to start pushing back on this. De Santis is literally condemning their children to a third rate education. We’ll see how complacent they are when Johnny and Sally not only can’t get into the Ivies/Seven Sisters,…

It’s so, so well done. Well-written, beautifully acted...A few years ago I had some friends over to watch City, Space Seed and The Wrath of Khan and I too started tearing up even though I know City by heart. Kirk’s bleak delivery at the end—”Let’s get the hell out of here.” Man.

Right?! Why was he not instantly fired?

James T. Kirk and Edith Keeler

Diana died in ‘97 but I see your point.

There was a remake. They did a TV remake sometime in the ‘80s starring Catherine Oxenberg.

No love for the royal nearly-nakeds—undergrad Kate Middleton at the fashion show and Lady Diana Spencer in the famous see-through skirt during Charles’s courtship of he?

Which just means they’ll be even more shrieky and drama-queeny about this, because being Anti Abortion is their entire identity. It’s their life.

Right?!
