I'm one to automatically believe rape victims and accusers, but Jackie came of a bit unhinged in the Post article. It wasn't so much the discrepancies that the frat pointed out, but what her friends and Jackie herself were saying. She changed her story multiple times. The vicious injuries she described weren't visible…

I was legit afraid of Carol Burnett throughout my childhood as a result of Annie.

I'm not sure that the lesson here is universal. It sounds like Moo Cluck Moo invests a lot into training their workers to be experienced, well rounded cooks. Line cooks in my city earn about $15/hour. http://www1.salary.com/MA/Boston/Line…. These aren't low-skilled employees that they're paying. Moreover, it looks…

Holy Shit.

Whoa, what did Steven Tyler do?

That is the standard for a verdict in a criminal court of law, not an individual's judgement.

No, Polanski raped her both vaginally and anally. There was semen on her underpants, which wound up being the factor that forced the plea deal.

I think it has to do with the nature of offenses and the artist's work. At least for me. I like the works of Polanski, Allen and Cosby. The Cosby story made me incredibly nostalgic for his TV show, and incredibly sad that I wouldn't be able to enjoy it anymore. Part of it is that Cosby's appeal was his warmth - a…

...except he didn't omit all women. This article could have talked about selective bias or unconscious sexism (even by a self-professed feminist). That would be reasonable and thought-provoking. A rant about this rather cool creative art project seems...off.

I'd understand this piece if it was about unconscious sexism, how it affects our memory or selection process, even among individuals who are self-professed feminists. The anger here just seems misplaced considering this is a thoughtful, creative art project by a guy exploring his influences.

You know? I excused the dramatic narcissism, reported crazed jealousy, and moral transgressions. I was like, whatever, she's an idiot celebrity, but she has a really good voice and worked really hard as a child performer. This? This was the straw that broke the camel's back for me. Ignorant, racist, whitewashing sack…

It's estimated that 1/3 of all pregnancies end in miscarriage, usually within the first trimester. It's especially common with first time births.

Fine, fine. But can I just share this one story because it's ridiculous?

Because it's Florida, lawyers police themselves (through the bar association), and punishments are generally discretionary.

What? Brad Pitt is pretty famous for being a character actor with a leading man face. Snatch? Twelve Monkeys? Burn After Reading? Inglorious Basterds?

Ugh, none of this is true. There is no standard definition for first degree murder; it varies by jurisdiction. Recklessness can be the standard for first degree murder. Many states don't even have statutes that use the term "murder."

I'm going to go download some old Chris Rock standup to get the taste of that movie out of my mouth.

What you say is certainly true and problematic, but Rock's quote in the interview didn't seem like he was singling out rape accusers as unreliable. I felt like he was responding to the narrow issue of Bill Cosby - a person whom he admired and knew personally - falling from grace when he's exposed as a serial rapist…

I keep confusing Ariana Grande and Iggy Azalea. They were on back to back on SNL; it was the first time I'd heard of either one of them and they were both terrible. I am old.

It was at that exact point in the movie that I thought - now he's going to move on from the silly and occasionally derisive sound bites and get to the meat of this issue like the brilliant social critic he's established himself to be. But no. It's a hair cutting competition.
