So we don’t even get to have a single weekend to celebrate a beloved actor’s centennial without multiple mass shootings and the possible murder of an equally beloved director and his wife. What a year.

Was someone reading out "Glad to be Gay" by Tom Robinson and it just got mangled in the transcript?
'Lie to your workmates, lie to your folks
Put down the queens, tell anti-queer jokes
Gay Lib's ridiculous, join their laughter
"The buggers are legal now, what more are they after?""

“Well everyone else was doing it too” is never a worthy excuse. Just because practically no one masks or keeps up with the alarming science on COVID doesn’t exempt everyone from responsibility.

I’ve always hated the phrase “underaged girls”
Girls already means they’re not adults. There’s no such thing as over aged girls or average age girls or woman aged girls. They’re just girls which means children. Just say children.

If you’re not actively working to release the list and expose the pedophiles, I see no reason for that choice except that you’re on the list/a pedophile. No one standing in the way deserves the benefit of the doubt.

In “In the Garden of Beasts,” Erik Larson described Diels as “seeping in [to a room] like malevolent fog.” Can’t imagine what made me think of that.
