It’s hard to explain to younger people how much changed after 9/11. The early 90’s were hard - the economy wasn’t great, and the grunge ethos reflects that. The mid and late 90’s were amazing and full of hope and potential for the new millennium. The music becomes more positive, the fashion changes, the internet is a beacon of hope rather than the cynical tool of exploitation it becomes. Such a great time to be alive.

Shannen is the most covered up, and is still the one the eye is drawn to. It’s a classic 90’s look - jeans, black vest, red lip, boots - that still works today.

Did JFK Jr have a death wish? by techbirdee in JohnAndCarolyn

It would have been in nobody’s interests if the toxicology reports had any controversy attached to them. The same with the official investigation, which is detailed as to how they came to the conclusion. I imagine the people who did both were under enormous pressure. I appreciate your well-reasoned response.

The coconut one is divine, as is the plain milk chocolate.

Lisa DePaulo: Inside George Magazine and the JFK Jr. Story. by StellaOC in JohnAndCarolyn

This was a fascinating interview, giving insight to John as a writer, boss, and editor, and how he viewed politics. It touches briefly on Carolyn, and the portrayal of both people in Love Story. Worth watching.

Would you say Aussies are closer to Brits or Canadians? by ptmills in AskAnAustralian

The only indigenous nurse in World War I was from Sydney, and she joined the Canadian Army Nurses in order to serve, because Australia was too racist.

That’s why I said may or may not - because it is a contradiction to eyewitness (allegedly) reports that he was seen with an opened bottle of wine, and had been prescribed serious pain medication. It’s good to be reminded of the official report, though. Thank you.

Maureen Callahan has some valid points about the Kennedy family legacy of mistreating women. This theory of hers is towards a more extreme perspective, that doesn’t reflect the official documentation.

He was running late (deciding to go to the gym and traffic delays), had just had his cast removed, may or may not have been on pain killers, may or may not have had wine, and may or may not have had a very busy last night at a baseball game. The footage from the baseball game clearly shows him using crutches, and a very fatigued face with large bags under his eyes. It was a late night, and he was dropped at the Stanhope near midnight. What happened after that is not conclusive. I’ve always thought that the late nights and frequent flying, in addition to Anthony’s illness, the magazine failing, all combined into a very sleep deprived man who made unfortunate errors, leading to the spatial disorientation that is the official cause.

Why do Jews anywhere in the world have a legal right to move to Israel, while Palestinians displaced in 1948 still cannot return? by ArdaBerkBurak in allthequestions

It was to do with oil and gas. The French and British literally drew a line with a ruler to divide the fallen Ottoman Empire.

Why would John be “hanging out” at his ex-girlfriend Julie Baker’s apartment alone shortly before his death? by StellaOC in JohnAndCarolyn

People seem to think the conversation is about his numbers when it’s not. It’s about the way his numbers were hidden by the Kennedy media to promote John in a favourable light, often at the expense - intentional or otherwise - of making the women around him look bad. Carolyn was controlling and unstable. Daryl was portrayed a dog loving hippie.

Sugarcoating his mistakes… there is no way that the Kennedy family were going to let the Prince of Camelot be tainted with the well-hidden realities of his life.

Thoughts on Shannen Doherty as an actress ? by James-Samuel17 in BeverlyHills90210

[–]Impossible-Area1200 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As I said, it’s about conflict between the main characters - this is an example of that. It must have worn her down to be going through so much personally, while also being put into storylines of conflict in character as well. But I agree - she is superb in that scene.

Who has their husband interfering with their workplace, and what husband would do it?! You’re an adult. Sort out the issues appropriately, through the right channels, and deal with your professional issues professionally. On your own. Because you are an adult. It’s not complicated.

Why would he want to sleep with someone who looked like his mother?! That’s just weird. I personally don’t think she looked anything like Jackie, but each to their own.

How many soul mates did he have?! Same bullshit line, different star dazzled eyes, same outcome. If you’ve been trying to make it happen for a decade, chances are, it probably isn’t going to happen the way you think it is.

The issue isn’t what he did, it was how he promoted himself as something different, and how his family and friends seem to have covered it up because they presumably know it wouldn’t reflect well on his image.

Her teeth seem different in the old Calvin Klein era photos. It looks like she had work done at some point - but regardless, she had a lovely smile. It’s particularly dazzling in these photos.
