Mad Men is the best show on earth and i want that written on my tombstone, nothing about family or the joys of life or to experience the cool autumn air on my cheeks. No, no. Mad Men is what mattered
of all the canon new golden age shows, BREAKING BAD has aged by far the worst. I thought this was universally acknowledged and understood but thus is the burden of having perfect opinions!!
thank you! You are a real one. if you didn’t make your coworker pirate the inventor in fucking Amsterdam b/c it wasn’t on HBO Now internationally, you don’t get to go here. If you didn’t lose $500 in a very public bet because she did in fact go to jail, you don’t get to go here. If you don’t have a legit Theranos Columbia fleece that was very hard to find, you’re not a real Holmsian!
@TaylorLorenz I’m responding to the OP point that an example like that would be dismissed/ignored and the people involved would be given grace to be annoying; no. This is the internet, where we gather to gawk at strangers we don’t know and love to join in on a pile-on.
@loudmouthjulia those numbers are going to churn immediately. I set a calendar hold for March so I cancel. No disrespect to the globe but they charge more than the New York Times and I don’t live in Boston.
I’m against the carceral state, but I do think the stuff she did was truly bad. Considering she was found not-guilty of those charges makes it harder for me to have a stronger opinion other than, “I think she did things that deserved jail time, even if I think the sentence she got was too long”
BREAKING NEWS: #ElizabethHolmes is leaving prison and transitioning to a halfway house in Del Valle, TX (near Austin) next August according to a notice sent to victims of her crime.
there is a DEFINITELY a gendered element but niche drama that is well-framed and well-told is popular across subcultures. OG Gawker was a popular website for a reason. My point is that insane church lady drama at a potluck, framed the right way could absolutely do bonkers traffic. But I contend it is harder for those stories to be published in places like the Boston Globe b/c most reporters don’t have ties to those types of communities. But the whole genre and subgenres of content dedicated to niche drama across communities is extremely popular, it’s just the people that tell those stories usually aren’t journalists but content creators or Reddit users.
@mkarolian Regardless, I think she should be barred from ever being an officer of a company connected to biotech in any shape or form. And I weep for the LPs who are going to line up to invest in a charlatan.
I’m conflicted because I lost $500 because she actually did go to jail (my bet wasn’t about whether she should I just didn’t believe she would) but at the same time, the chargers she was found not-guilty on (harming patients) are the ones I think are more worthy of jail time than bilking the DeVoss family.
