Me too— OMG I wanted to slap Bob Dylan through the pages, lol. His first appearance, when he’s holding court and assuming he can just have any woman he wants, then throws a diva fit at her because she’s married.... Then fast forward to him showing up at her door after she got successful.... pfffft! She’s…

Yeah, the way they both managed to come off the high of the celebrity scene, and come out of the drugs [eventually], and still stay friends.... I kinda really loved that. What the media of that time would do to women with a ‘weird’ bent like their love of the occult &c., christ, I can’t even countenance putting up…

He’s probably pretending to be more old for sympathy. Wasn’t he pretending to be blind (or at least playing up whatever was wrong with him)?

It reminds me of the advice my mom gave me on dealing with inappropriate behavior from a colleague: “write down every bad thing they say verbatim with date and time so if you need to report them you have a record.”

He’ll wait until the Senate vote to acquit Trump after impeachment in 2019, right after the final Senator casts their vote. Fucking evil prick.

This whole time I’ve genuinely thought that the Russia thing was being blown way out of proportion, and even all the new revelations have appeared to show more that Trump desperately wants Russia to like him, and with his obviously poor judgment he is so fucking dumb he refuses to accept that anyone could view what he…

It happened to me and Mr Mars a while back (we had to move from San Francisco back to his dad’s place, then got booted from there and moved in with my mom and stepdad. Took us quite a while to get back on our feet). As difficult as it may be, at least you have (as we did) someone in your life who is willing to take…

Even if she is “never alone with children” she is normalizing herself to children. My kiddos see peeps who volunteer at their school out and about all the time. They alway s wave excitedly and shout “Hi Mrs. Lastname!!” (well, less so the son, but that’s middle school for you).

Helicopter parenting is bad and you can’t shelter them from bad stuff in the world too much but I feel like “I don’t want my children interacting with a known serial killer” is a fairly reasonable request?

When I go in for a UTI, they take a urine sample and give me some antibiotics. No probing required. Granted, I have never had one that severe, but I don’t think it’s normal procedure even for a severe UTI. I hope some doctors can weigh in to answer your questions, but from a lay-person’s perspective it seems pretty…

Look, without making myself completely doxxable, I will say that this falls under my wheelhouse of expertise and as far as I can tell, the truth of the matter is that this was a truly impossible situation for Comey. “Sources and methods” may be a vague concept for most people, but the reality is that years of work and…

I’m not familiar with Albee or his work, so I very much appreciate your take on this. I’m better acquainted with Beckett’s oeuvre, and given that he insisted on translating his own work to French, I’m not surprised that he also wanted to control every last detail of the production.

That’s unfortunate, given that absurdity is primed for reinterpretation.

Mm, it is my impression that Albee was a giant weenus, and it seems his estate is doing its best to uphold that legacy. I worked on a production of Three Tall Women that had to do some *very* last minute shuffling because they didn’t like the way we handled a non-speaking character. So while I can, perhaps, see the…

I do not think he will be impeached, at least not until 2018, but this is still good news. If nothing else, it causes fear and chaos in the White House. If Trump tries to fire Mueller, it creates more, and may alienate more Republicans. All this makes it less likely that Trump will be able to do anything and will have…

Shit, I’m sorry you’re in Texas with that asshole. I’m somewhat insulated from the bullshit living in California, but I’m still in Orange County where there are some seriously creepy pockets of neo Nazis. I was just talking to my mom about the whole Nixon era shenanigans (she was in her mid 20s at the time), and she…

Of course! I feel like with Trump you don’t need to come up with any Machiavellian reasons for anything. Dude is just desperate to appear like he belongs so he’ll just spout out whatever bullet points he skimmed earlier in order to impress whoever he’s talking too.

Re: The three WH officials:

It HAS to begin now. Our constitution with all its checks and balances has never been under so much stress. I’m actually starting to question if this American Experiment will survive this test. As for the average Trumpvoter...just had one over today and she is fucking delusional, screaming FAKENEWS at me. This is…

Yup. He’s like a fucking four year old with a juicy secret. And those tweets? Come on. He doesn’t know how to spell the words schedule, pertaining, or absolute. Also, you can bet your ass the Russians figured out who/where the intelligence was coming from and burnt their asses. Those allied assets are probably dead or…
