Susanne Susany, a Pittsburgh lawyer, has a certified mail printout showing that her client’s application “arrived at [the] unit” at 5:23 pm on October 5

Am I misremembering Eyes Wide Shut? I don’t get the comparison (watched with sound off)

I sure hope in all the social and political changes in the wind we can hold on to this. Accountability will go a long way for shedding stigma and encouraging the secrecy we see in non-famous cases.

Can’t we just insist on referring to Hilton with his birthname Mario Armando Lavandeira, Jr.? I feel that would do wonders to deflate his ....thing....whatever we call that. 

...well what happens when you multiply a zero?

Anyone else notice Baldwin and ...the other guy....clearly miss their mark on the cold open? I haven’t seen a gaff like that on SNL in a very long time.

...a rescue for vermin? I’ve got some strong words for anyone who approved taxpayer money being spent on this, if applicable.

BUT FACEBOOK HAS MADE IT VERY CLEAR THAT ENFORCING LAWS ON BLASPHEMY IS NEVER POLITICAL THIS TAKE IS VERY WRONG FACEBOOK SAYS

I’m not sure what has given you the idea I was criticizing anonymous complaints but I definitely wasn’t.

Yeah I really do not think I’m ready for this.

Yes she does. She really really does.

But I think its really important to acknowledge that this is how we talk about it inside the courthouse.

I agree with your summary of known facts, but I myself remain confident the assault did occur. False accusations are just too costly to be a frequent occurrence, and this case the particular media profile and particulars around the community and the prestige of it all is such that I find it even more unlikely this…

I can’t imagine a world where a guy doesn’t have the right to be a giant raging asshole to his own employees. We don’t have a legal entitlement to a workplace being civilized.

I’m not comfortable with mixing this story in with the shattering of the cone of silence over victims of sexual abuse (and other crimes). I feel…

No not yet. I’m in North America and watch them on PBS so I don’t think its been broadcast yet?

....and I really really loathe Paul, and my wife takes that to an even further extreme.

Is there any word on the BBC replacement to this show, hopefully preserving all the things I actually liked about it, as the ones I didn’t like are the ones that moved to iTV?

I don’t know if it was ever a part of a later iteration (because I really didn’t pay attention) but Burnout 2 on GameCube remained in my regular go-to pile for a lot longer than would seem reasonable as it had a mini-game that was about speeding down a steep hill into a crowded intersection and causing as much damage…

An excellent post, thank you for sharing.
