And this is why I took her on my Jeopardy All-Stars fantasy team, along with <gets grayed forever>

Johnson referred to Smollett as a “troubled young man.”

“But those poor bastards will still alive when they hit the water.”

That was literally a fatal flaw in the Space Shuttle design: the enormous fuel tanks run alongside the orbiter. Separating the orbiter from the fuel tanks is one thing, but getting it quickly far enough away from the tanks to avoid damage to the orbiter is nearly impossible. The orbiter is just too massive.
That is…

There was (is? I think they released a season in 2018 after several years) a TV show called “Seconds from Disaster” that breaks down everything that happened leading up to, during, and after disasters like Fukushima, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, the Challenger explosion etc. Super fascinating stuff. 

eh Chris Brown has survived this long, so ya never know.

Actually, it’s kind of the exact opposite--this shows how very difficult it is to convincingly fake an attack, and how easily the stories of people lying about being assaulted crumble under investigation. Nobody is sincerely equating “believe victims” with “don’t investigate crimes”; that’s a straw man used by rape…

It really seems like it shouldn’t be hard to argue that you can treat potential victims with respect and still verify what they say is accurate.

“Believing the victim” means exactly what you just said: a crime has been reported, we will investigate it fully because we believe a crime has been committed, and we need to get to the bottom of it.” As facts emerge, sometimes, so does skepticism, but if you first reaction is to say, “well, he might have been making…

TOTALLY.

Um, I think it’s amazing that Miley Cyrus is able to look past Liam Hemsworth’s conventional ugliness and fall in love with his beautiful soul. On a spiritual, post-gender level.

We all got played but I love how the media is spending more time on a B List celebrity faking violence related to Trump and his MAGA hat wearing Chud’s than the arrest of a member of The US Coast Guard who admits he’s a white nationalist with a hit list of journalists and politicians who are predominately of color and…

As sad as this is, I’m not going to apologize for believing him for so long.

“I would never be brave enough to do what Jussie did. He put his personal freedom at stake and shined a light into some dark corners that need cleaning. In a way, I’m proud of him. Because it doesn’t necessarily matter that this event didn’t happen. It matters that it could happen. That’s the real issue here. So good…

My question is how did he get charged so quickly when permit patty and all her ilk are out there calling cops randomly?

My high school girlfriend, now wife of 15 years, was the captain of our 6A school’s pom squad for a couple of years and took part in these. At 17, it didn’t occur to me... At 40, it is totally clear how f’ing creepy this stuff is.

Our volleyball team always did carwash fundraisers and I hated them. Even fully clothed in t-shirts and our spandex shorts, men were total creeps. The leering, the comments, it was so gross. 

So it was celebrating her accomplishments! See, THAT’s how you do it!

Even when I was in high school I thought it was weird when they’d advertise 16 year old cheerleader bikini car washes as a fundraiser and all the townies were lined up. Chris Hansen would have made a killing that day

Very smart. I never knew this.

I think the “Fashion Police” mess helped garner her a lot of sympathy. It also positioned her as someone pretty with also something of value to say. I feel like that comment by Giuliana Rancic probably would have gone unnoticed if Joan was still alive or it would have been drowned out. The…
