This is pretty inconsequential, but the writer’s guild really determines how writing credits work. So, unless Celestin wanted to give up his (I think?) ‘Story By’, the studio would have to enter arbitration to boot him after the fact.

Yuuuup. This is what people mean when they say politics is becoming tribal. It’s not about setting a principle - you know, don’t rape - and then enforcing that principle. The explicit practice on all sides now is just to pick groups of people you want to see win, and then shape your narrative around making sure they…

I suspect only in a plea bargain.

I do get that it is a tremendous disappointment that the movie is going to almost certainly die (though maybe not - hard to tell with movie types) because of this. It is just a film but its themes were really relevant and it could have represented a step forward after the lack of black talent in the Oscars last year.…

I don’t really understand Jez’s handwringing over how to discuss what happened.

I mean, I can see the picture :/ She’s fat in the same way the water bottle I’m looking at is, in fact, a water bottle, this laptop is silver, my shirt is a shirt. It’s obviously making you emotional which wasn’t my intention. I don’t particularly care how she looks to be honest with you. Per my original analogy, I…

At 1:18 some righteous soul on the sidelines positioned himself perfectly to punch the idiot in the face before he got hauled off the pitch.

Also usually cheap for neighbors. I live across the street from a University, and have access to everything students use for about $45/month. Machines are updated annually, place is spotless, rarely crowded...

they do. its called math.

Especially considering they have like 200 video cameras at this mall, especially in the food court where the incident is supposed to have taken place. So far, no weapon has been seen, audio from a bystander shows one loud sound that a forensic audio engineer says he can’t say it’s definitively a gunshot or not a…

This same thing happened at a large mall in Raleigh on Saturday. The whole place was locked down and evacuated after “shots were fired.” Multiple witnesses claim to have heard gunshots, there is audio of it, but there are no victims or suspects. Very strange.

Yuck. How materialistic are you that a lanyard and trophy case is the best thing in life? Does life really peak at age 25? She’s got nothing to live for now? Given your attitude, maybe you should price it all out: diamonds are worth more than gold.

Not that I’ve qualified (...yet, in my sport age ain’t nothing but a number so I can wait until I’m 80 if I want) but as someone who was raised an elite athlete and is married to another former elite athlete, I would have been delighted to have a ring of gold to add to the medal.

Do you know them? Do you know how people get down in China? Leave the judgement about whether this was fucking awful or whatever up to the people involved.

guys.....her BF knows her. he knows if she would be mad at him for ‘stealing her thunder’ i feel like some of you are projecting here....

Fascism with a smiley face is still fascism.

I’ve had sex in less time than Ledecky’s margin of victory. And just like the Olympics, it happens once every 4 years.

Bro is really a state of mind, brah.
