@shivjm.inIt’s unsettling to think so many people felt empathy for predators is what we need more of in a post-Epstein world.
@shivjm.inPrimetime is a disturbing movie. Not because of how disjointed and unfocused it is, but because of the attempt to juxtapose Chris Hansen’s infidelity (which actually came later, apparently) with predators preying on children. Seriously, Hollywood?
