A scab is someone who takes the specific jobs of workers on strike, usually for a temporary period. So, no.

lol!!! You think bands didn’t take advantage of those girls back in the day?

Fame is power.

I am Eminem and I enjoy reading dirt bag.

In fairness, he was pretty huge in 1999. He was in an Eminem lyric, so he was at least as significant as Limp Bizkit.

Moby thinks the government should put even more limitations on food stamps

I know he’s a vegan so he’s likely using his op-ed to promote veganism in a roundabout way but taking away people’s ability to buy the food they want just because they’re poor is a dick move.

Didn’t most of them start out in the Franklin Lakes area? I think they went with just NJ because none of the town names are particularly recognizable. There was so much confusion when Potomac was announced. Plus they leaned heavily on the implied mob connections angle early on and maybe they were worried towns would…

It’s absolutely cultural appropriation. Asians may be brought up as the “model minority” by racists by I’d have a hard time believing that a population that makes up more than 7x that of Asian-Americans has less institutional power.

I dunno yet. If she starts saying shit in a twangy East Asian accent, I’m gonna have issues. Or if she once utters some version of “love you long time”....

That was my first thought, but a part of me feels like the key to appropriation is the power element. A dominant culture’s assumed right to go in, pick whatever part of another culture appeals to them without the okay of that culture, often make money off of it, and then move on.

I was wondering the same thing. Feels like appropriation to me...

I lived in New Jersey for two years and in my time there I noticed that localities switch every five blocks. So let alone that no one would tune into a show called “Real Housewives of Franklin Lakes,” there’s no chance all the ladies would be in the same town, even if they lived 10 minutes from each other.

Polanski gets to play the Charlie Manson card and the Holocaust card. He’s playing the fourth-dimensional chess of getting away with rape.

I’ve needed a lawyer several times in my life.

Thank you! I finally created a profile because I always have something to say and then just get annoyed and move on. I will probably anger people:-)

Mesereau talked about the 1997 murder of Cosby’s son, Ennis, and told jurors that Cosby confided in Constand that he never recovered from his son’s death.

The tiny percent that do get found guilty get probation or a handful of months and the victim gets their private life splashed everywhere while being humiliated in court. Fun!

Most jurors will reject the money, money, money narrative in this case. But for 20% of them (almost all Trump voters) they will buy and that will be enough to get him acquitted.

I am a female criminal defense attorney. This is classic evidence of bias/motive, and I’m surprised it wasn’t admitted during the first trial. If there had been a conviction it would have been a huge appellate issue. Whether the jury believes it remains to be seen, but I’m glad it is being admitted this time. I…
