Jesus fucking Christ. Dark, dark, dark story.
Amy Acton’s mother said: “Bud had a daughter from a previous marriage that had earlier made similar unfounded claims.” She didn’t just call Amy a liar. She called the abuser’s previous victim a liar too. 🤡

the french revolution is full of really interesting stuff like this. an event that’s been the basis of so much condemnation and justification that we can lose the actual stated beliefs of the participants in the web of later discussion
The killing of the king and queen in France is pretty funny with how much it is hyped out. They weren’t even killed for being shitty evil monarchs, just for very straightforward treason.

It's horrible to see a distinguished salt-and-pepper type man in brogues play freemium mobile games on the train. Shouldn't you be reading a John Updike novel? Why do they even print them anymore if you won't?

It’s important that while we commend Rooney’s principled stand and defend her from the illiberal consequences of draconian proscription laws we never waver on the entirely separate fact that her books are extremely shallow and bland.

Freud's move from seduction theory to infantile sexuality is one that allows us to conceptualize how, perhaps irreversibly, awful child sexual abuse truly is. Introducing adult sexuality where infantile sexuality persists is a horror that is ontologically unimaginable to adults.
Anyone else in Therapy X cringe when fellow therapists invoke Freud, knowing he was an apologist for child sexual abuse?

Still missing a few, I would add the birth of Christ, the Thirty Years War, The Glorious Revolution, the Rum Rebellion, the Eureka Stockade, the Taiping Rebellion and the 2016 US election.
