But the last book is awful Dumbledore sacrificing Harry is monstrous. He kept Harry safe for all that time, just so he could sacrifice him. And then having Dumbledore have a past love affair with Grindelwald is even worse. Basically Dumbledore was in love with wizard Hitler.

Wow I remember none of this. Doesn’t Dumbledore die in book 6?


He talks to Harry after Harry dies fight Voldemort. Dumbledore knew Harry was a Horcrux and would have to die basically the whole time. He kept Harry around just so Harry could get killed at the right time. He placed Harry with abusive foster parents to keep him alive. He encourages Harry to chase after Voldemort so that he will get killed in the appropriate way. Dumbledore is a monster.

I was the Lin Manuel poster. My thoughts about him have nothing to do with race.


I'm brown and I agree re: Lin Manuel Miranda.


I love Hamilton and he was by far the weakest performer of the original cast. He had strong theater kid energy, which is super annoying. And all of his songs are starting to sound the same. Encanto is like a bargain bin version of the Hamilton score.

I think Jennifer Lawrence slept with Weinstein.


I think you’re right. And I suspect she feels very much like a fool now, although it’s likely we wouldn’t know who she was if she didn’t sleep with him.


Before she hit it big, she had an Oscar nod for Winter’s Bone which was an indie film, directed by a woman. You would have heard of her. Her success has nothing to do with a casting couch. She had a role in Bill Engvall’s TV show, too.

Doubtful she regrets it, given her career.

I’m starting to think he planned in advance to cause a scene that night as a desperate attempt to break free of his life

I like Megan Markle way more than Harry. I can’t stand seeing him parade around the US and Canada like we give an f what he has to say.

I think the entire Food Network and related shows are ridiculous. Cooking shows should have stopped with the occasional PBS ones like Julia Child and Sara Moulton (now PBS has too many also).

+1. Julian Fellowes is a hack.

So much this. Lauren Graham is terrible. Actually, so is Alexis Bledel.
