I’ve listened to the podcast twice and have checked out the research that a lot of people have done on Reddit (I know, I know, but its actually pretty thorough) and while I don’t think a court should have convicted him, I think he did it. There is no other plausible explanation.

I’m totally okay with blaming the youths for not getting it.

I feel pretty terrible for Hae’s family now. Adnan’s guilt/innocence is fuzzy for me - I don’t truly believe he did it, but I can also see that maybe he did. But for Hae’s family, they’re just having all of these emotions dredged back up and didn’t really have a choice in it. They believe Adnan is guilty and they have…

The way Hae’s life and death were treated by the podcast and its fans remains bizarre to me. Whether or not you think Adnan is guilty, this girl is still dead and that death is still a tragedy.

My wife and I ask about whether our son’s playdates’ parents own guns, and if they do, he just doesn’t go to their place, regardless of what sort of measures they theoretically have to “secure” their firearms.

Don’t let them gaslight you! My friend was at a family gathering with her little kids, and her dad got up and his tiny gun fell onto the chair and he didn’t even notice...AT A FUCKING FAMILY BBQ! She will not let him be around her children while armed. It’s a totally legitimate request.

Have a seat, Rudy. Have several. Have the whole damn stadium full.

Yep. See, e.g., “your dead kids don’t trump my Constitutional rights.” Sickening.

My dad has guns now because he’s a conservative and decided to do it on principle (he had a working replica musket and no bullets when I was growing up that took 20 minutes and skill to load- I know he has at least two more modern guns now).

There is no number of dead children that will change anything. Sandy Hook proved that.

I feel bad for the kids. And for the doctors and nurses who treated the girl but could not save her.

How dare a talented, political black woman exist in full view of white people!!

It’s reverse racism any time a black person celebrates their culture or tries to bring attention to their issues! Didn’t you know that?!

I mean if anyone was “bouncing around” it was fucking Chris Martin...

Not to be a huge downer (which means I’m about to be a downer) but I’m glad they don’t mention what the rumor was.

My little sister called me upon landing after her first cross-country flight in TEARS. She (16 at the time) was so freaked/icked out by the much-older guy seated next to her. He raised the arm rest immediately after taking off, and proceeded to rub against her the entire flight. She said he used his arm/shoulder to…

“Please whisper how climate change isn’t real in my ear, and ravish my quivering planet with your fossil fuels until it hurts!”

“What kind of things do you like me to do with you body?” Jeb said as I looked over the contract. “Do you like it when I keep it from healthcare?” Oh my. My inner goddess screams YES but I blush.

Silly goose, when Jezebel talks about diversity they’re only referring to black people.

Birdman is shot in a way that makes it look like the movie is all one continuous shot. That means the camera was always moving, often quickly, back and forth. The building they shot in was always full of winding halls that the camera showed every step in. It was like watching a 2 hour long artfully shot cellphone…
