I googled Joyce McKinney, and damn. That is some good casting.

I agree, it’s uncanny. I read her wiki page and it’s a wild ride.

i am feeling very over all the true crime adaptations we're getting right now

[gloeden2]

When we're at the point of taking real life traumatic events that the victim got made fun of for the rest of his life and the perpetrator is treated like a campy eccentric and celebrated, it's time to stop with this shit. True Crime devotees are becoming desensitized at a level that has to be on par with people who overindulge in porn.

its just gotten entirely out of hand and now will the heard/depp trial, it's like seeing all the sick fascination play out in real time?? i can't

[gloeden2]

Exactly. It's all just streaming entertainment, ready for hot takes on social media by these bored psychos.
Get a new hobby, freaks.

I like Maisie's face and I like how much she experiments with her looks after being contractually obliged to look the same for many years.

[pisley]

Same, I love seeing the different styles she's always trying out. She wears clothes well.

[bellwetherr]

yeah i love her personal style

The Mormon temple in the DC area has been open to the public for a few weeks because it's being renovated so I went last week and it's literally impossible to make a building more boring. Every single room was decorated like the lobby of a Hilton Garden Inn in a mid-size city.

i grew up around a lot of mormons and they were all super normal. i had many mormon friends and they weren't much different from my other good nerdy kid friends. but my mom is also a former mormon and they sent the poor missionaries out all the time for years to try and convince her to come back to the church when she'd left over 20 years before and had only been mormon from the ages of 13-19.

[madamezuzu]

they still hit up my mother, who also isn’t a member anymore looking for me and i haven’t been active for 15 years. it’s wild.

my town had a bunch of Mormons and it was eerie how nearly all of them looked like they'd just stepped out of a Sweet Valley High book and they were so NICE, it was so funny. as someone who had always generally associated devout Christianity with people who plainly looked like weirdos it was hard to reconcile sometimes, how some of the most popular and charismatic kids at school in a generally progressive/prosperous part of the country were also like, wearing sacred underwear and about to get married at 19
