I’m a survivor of childhood sexual abuse over the course of years by a loved one.

Yeah, we have to accept that a person’s talent and their morality don’t always go together- “Great Ball’s of Fire” is a *bop* and Jerry Lee Lewis was a great pianist. He was still a perv. Heck Alice in Wonderland. I love that book, but he took naked pictures of young girls whose families let him spend extended periods…

Oh man... the thing that hit me hardest was the interview that Wade did when he was 14, denying that Michael had ever touched him, juxtaposed against adult him recounting the story of what happened. Moreso even than the recontextualisation of MJs music... having an adult second look at that interview Wade gave when he…

Al Jean--of the much-maligned The Simpsons--made a depressing point when explaining why they’d removed the Michael Jackson episode from the extensive library. He said he didn’t think it appropriate to remove every episode of every horrible guest star, but with the MJ episode it seemed the right thing to do. Because…

I do believe he made the word “harm” do a LOT of work to obscure his misdeeds, but watching the Bashir documentary “Living With Michael Jackson,” what I am struck by is that he stringently claimed that his relationships with children were appropriate, innocent, and non-sexual in THE SAME INTERVIEW where he absolutely…

Maybe some entries in Jackson’s discography are just too massive to be canceled.

I was going to make a weight joke, but that’s low-hanging fruit. And god knows that photo already features enough of that.

Yes, if the boys are to be believed (which I absolutely do) he ran drills with them how not to get caught. He knew it was wrong, he knew the consequences. He was a sick fuck who thought what he was doing was fine. Gaslighting. threatening... Watching the documentary, I was like, fuck, this was all so obvious. So…

According to the documentary, he told the boys that they would both get in trouble if anybody ever found out about their relationships. MJ was definitely trying to hide it.  

MSU reinforcing bad behavior when they should be reinforcing their seats.

Thank you for this. As a lifelong dyed in the wool fan, I watched the documentary with equal tension and relief. I ‘m ashamed I was a WHERE’S THE PROOF? fan, although by the time 2005 had rolled around I had experienced sexual assault and became acquainted with the legal system’s handling of it. As I still regularly…

I’m struck my his insistence that he would never harm a child.  I do think he believes he never harmed these boys.  That they loved him, and physically responded to him.  Therefore, it wasn’t wrong.  It was only the small minded who couldn’t see that these were loving relationships.  I do think he believed that.  Its…

This proving laws of gravity. 

I was gonna watch that, but I knew it would make me so mad I would hurl my TV out the window.

Lol.  The greatest example of why the conspiracy science crowd is so dumb, is presented in the advert for Behind the Curve.

Yep, came down here to post the same rejoinder. Just a great back-and-forth exchange.

You can’t blame Lewis for this. Every British person knows that if a piece of dirt never had a Union Jack on it, it must be unexplored.

Giannis, working on the right block, bashes Philadelphia’s Ben Simmons under the rim with a couple of hard back-down dribbles, waits out a hilariously feeble swipe at the ball, then hammers down an and-one dunk and calls Simmons “a fucking baby.”

i wonder if he’ll get accepted to jale.  

As I noted in the blog above it’s more like half a season.
