I think companies really need to get out of the habit on firing people because the internet demands a sacrifice. It only encourages people to continue using toxic behaviors to push their agendas.

Adrastra fun fact: I was an expert pincher from about age 6-12. A substantial size/strength difference between siblings leads to dirty/efficient fighting. The key is to pinch the smallest amount of skin possible with as much nail as possible.

Jez really needs some legal advisors. The generalizations and misinterpretations for the sake of drama/outrage generation tend to undermine their arguments. I mean, the court isn’t exactly dry-washing its hands with evil glee while they kick back a few with Dr. Luke and Sony’s legal team and drown kittens in a sack.

i mean, you’re right and that’s totally why it’s illegal and I do agree it should be illegal.

That's a character in Cats, right?

I really don't think this would look anywhere near as bad without the crowbarred wisecracks telling me what I'm supposed to think between every paragraph. I'm struggling to find anything wrong with this, and I'm not even a Jack White fan.

Wow, I never thought I'd say this, but — Team White

Killing someone is not a fucking "stupid mistake".

He was convicted based on Jay's inconsistent testimony. That's terrifying.

Meeeeeeeehh it doesn't really work that way. If the State doesn't prove beyond a reasonable doubt that someone commits a crime, he or she shouldn't be convicted, and thus shouldn't be in prison at all. There's really no middle ground in that regard. It's a zero sum game. There's no such thing as a consolation prize…

Out of 30 calls made that day, only 6 matched where Jay said they were. Six. Plenty of maps have shown that even Jenn's house fell into the possible reach of the Leakin Park tower. It's the weakest of evidence that doesn't hold up at all when compared to the lack of any other evidence.

IIRC, the way it was *explained* was correct. More than half of the calls did not ping towers near where Jay claimed to be, which is why only a handful were brought up in trial. However, cell towers cover fairly large areas. You could be somewhere other than Leakin Park and have it ping that tower. It is suggestive,…

Yes, that's what strikes me as well. Jay may or may not be lying about Adnan's involvement— we can't tell because his story keeps changing and each story is only partially corroborated by other evidence— but the one thing we do know is that Jay was involved in some way. He knew where her car was, he knew where her…

You know what I find kind of interesting here? The only person we are SURE committed a crime... Who we know (and who confessed to) buried a body in a park, this is the person who got off without a single charge.

WHY those shoes WHY

God the fucking male entitlement just starts SO. EARLY.

Dear Ms./Mrs/Mr/Whatever Prefix Suits Your Fancy/ Merlan,

And they think merely calling her out is the reason they're alienating their feminist followers. Riiiight. It has nothing to do with the fact that their entire threat centers around slut-shaming, and that meanwhile they're using terms like "trashy bitch" instead of more pertinent terms like "racist."

That they're comparing Iggy's (supposed) sex tape to Bill Cosby drugging and raping multiple women over decades is appalling.
