Thank you! Amie Harwick and similar cases should put the stupid “why don’t victims just leave?” narrative to rest once and for all. Domestic abuse victims aren’t stupid. They have access to the same 24/7 news cycle we all do and are well aware their chances of being murdered skyrocket if they try to leave, and our…

Woooow, I can’t imagine being a big fan of someone and then having a catty throwaway comment I made featured in a documentary about how mean people made them need a mental health break. I would be mortified and feel like a total asshole! It’s just a reminder to be thoughtful in how we talk about people, even when we…

They’re already being convicted of manslaughter. The issue is that they’re using this defense to get out of murder convictions.

I’m so sorry that happened to you. Choking is one of the most popular forms of violence inflicted by abusers because it 1) causes panic and fear of death and 2) rarely leaves bruising or physical evidence. And now they also have the legal defense of “well lots of chicks are into that anyway” to fall back on, so I…

Yup. Sounds like the mainstreaming of BDSM in pop culture just created yet another excuse to discount domestic violence victims. New language, same story.

I’m sorry but this defense is bullshit. If your “rough sex” is so rough you KILLED SOMEONE, you are so bad at sex that you pose a danger to all future partners and should be locked up anyway. Despite what Hollywood movies would have you believe, it is actually very difficult to kill another able-bodied adult human…

I mean, IGGY FUCKING AZALEA getting a nomination tells you everything you need to know about the legitimacy of this award show. A bullfrog high on ketamine could turn out better “raps” than that fraud.

THIS. If you refuse to take on the effort of cooking anything, at least bring booze. Grocery store chips and salsa just say “I’m too lazy to cook and too cheap to buy booze.”

Please correct the spelling of Saoirse Ronan’s name. Thanks!

Two, if you’re really convinced that you’re incompetent at your job, what the fuck are you still doing here?

“My Name is Dolemite” was an absolute gem. Eddie Murphy is one of the most brilliant comedians still working, and Cosby...well, not much to say there.

I am a fan of normalizing any and all fertility options that women choose to live the lives they want to lead, but I want to point out two big issues with egg freezing: 1) pregnancy success rates are only around 18-20%, and 2) more and more employers are pushing it on female employees to avoid paying maternity…

He clearly doesn’t respect his wife or kids either if this is how he represents their family in public on live TV.

Intent only matters legally if he fell and his hand accidentally touched her butt. But the video evidence shows he clearly intended to touch her butt, he just didn’t intend to be held accountable for it.

Plus multiple SS officers fleeing the city offered to take the children away to safety, but she refused and murdered them herself in the bunker. The youngest was only 4 years old. It’s crazy to know how consistently and uniformly evil these people were to the very end.

What an unnecessarily cruel and fucked up comment about someone who just died. What evidence do you have that this young man was violent? That he beat women or raped children? Or are you painting everyone with the same brush now? I hope no one close to you ever struggles with opioid addiction and some asshole stranger…

Timberlake: I don’t like him, but as a fellow cuddly drunk I feel personally judged by the controversy! I snuggle, hug and hold hands with my friends (and occasionally strangers) when I’m tipsy and it’s not sexual at all. It just creates an anchor of comfort in a rapidly spinning world. Not saying he isn’t cheating,…

he was criticized for using a fatal beating that took place across the street from one of his galleries to promote an event, telling Gothamist that the death was “nice, in a weird way,” and “a bit of Old Brooklyn.”

Pro tip for young creatives: if you approach someone looking for a job and they offer to pay some or all of your salary in “experience and exposure”, RUN. AWAY. IMMEDIATELY. The only exceptions are internships that fulfill class credits, professional certification hours or some other direct compensation. The…
