I don’t agree with this take. I’ve never read the book and felt like it was pretty obvious that Amma was capable of the murders. She indicated that her friends would do anything for her, she’s manipulative and cruel often, and her motive is strengthened throughout the series. Think Calhoun day when she stops receiving…

I thought it was pretty clear why Amma did it. Camille internalized the abuse by her mother, while Amma turned her pain and rage onto others. She was tied in a codependent relationship with her mother and jealous of anyone taking away Adora’s attention. And I already thought it was Amma since last week, when it became…

Here’s all the nuance John McCain deserves, now that he’s dead, which coincidentally is exactly the same amount of nuance he deserved when alive: from the time he got his start aerially murdering Vietnamese civilians (including the workers at the lightbulb factory he bombed shortly before getting shot down over…

> Trump’s refusal to honor John McCain shows he is “unwilling to act as a unifying force at major moments in the life of the country.”

The reason is that this is such a big deal is that Americans care more about semiotics, symbols and catchphrases than substance. Salute the marine at the helicopter, flag pins, hand over your heart, applaud the random soldier they bring to your football, hockey, baseball, etc. game, take off your hat, etc.

I am normally the first to defend famous people’s right to privacy but I swear that if we do not get high quality photos of this dog soon I will single-handedly topple the British monarchy. I will trade you every single photo of any children this or any other royal couple has or will have (from baptism to wedding to…

Masturbation is sex! 

Liberals—calm the fuck down, look at the numbers, it’s not nearly as bad as it’s being portrayed.

It is really interesting to me that so many of the comments on that moment with Issa being asked to give her opinion at work saw her as missing an opportunity or doing the “wrong” thing.

To everyone rushing to their keyboards and phones to ask “But why don’t they just say no? Why don’t they just not get in relationships with bad people? Why don’t they just leave? I would never let myself get in a situation like that, tut tut tut” :

He’s there to teach black people to hate gay people, whom his god tells him he hates more than black people. 

One of the 62% of white men who voted for Trump, obviously. He didn’t actually need to specify that part.

I would argue that the only “black” part of his experience is the fact that he arrived at the airport at 6:00 a.m. for a 6:24 a.m. flight.

Please don’t try this woman, she will destroy you.

In Netflix’s defense, they had to make room for garbage.

And yet, you gave me a click, dumbass. Seems to me I executed my job perfectly.

I mostly agree. But she did just say that he’s such a bad alcoholic that she’s prolonging the divorce because she doesn’t trust him to have any custody of the kids in his current state. She’s sweet about it but it’s not really 100% dirty undie free. While it’s not a secret, I doubt he loves having his alcoholism…

140 years for $36,785.67?

You have to commit fraud on a scale large enough to crash the entire economy to avoid prosecution.  She went too small.  

Was Haberman’s followup question — after “she’s a lowlife” — “when did you realize she is a lowlife?”  That would have given H alternate followup questions: if he answers “always”, H can ask “why do you employ lowlifes?”, or if he answers “just recently”, H can ask “how do lowlifes con you into believing they aren’t…
