Something that feels important to name regarding the Cornell case is that rape is a form of political violence. Most of my clients have experienced sexual assault and each time a major news story like this makes the rounds, they are immediately thrown back into the worst moments of their lives

Was disappointed to see this at first until I realized it was Noel. For some reason even though Noel was the guiding artistic voice in Oasis I feel no strong attachment for him. He has kind of a self serious blowhard vibe instead of Liam's "village goon in a Hammer Dracula movie" one

No one will ever sum up DIGGER than @bilgeebiri.bsky.social remarking that the movie feels "like being stuck inside a tuba for two hours." www.vulture.com/article/revi...

Every college in this country decided that expelling and/or sending the police to beat the shit out of their own students for the crime of being opposed to genocide was their top priority. That and giving Trump complete control of what they teach. Contrast that with how they treat rapists.

my Tim Curry story, which I think i've told a few times. I interviewed him when I was in college--he was starring in "Three Musketeers." Asked him something like how did he approach a villain role & he said he liked to give directors 3 options: "standard," "over-the-top" and "top over-the-top"

It is very sad about Dolly passing away, but that doesn’t excuse her past behavior. In the 80’s she kidnapped a man (her boss) with two of her friends and held him hostage for months while she and her friends improved office morale. None of her good deeds can make for that lawbreaking imo

You can/should read Emily Wilson's latest take on the Odyssey, but I'm logging on to convey my hairdresser's reaction. She was AGHAST that Nolan, with his million $ budget, gave Matt Damon ONLY 6 hair extensions. As a result, his hair did not blow around properly, & that ruined the film for her.
