There weren’t any cartwheels. That was one of the many stories fabricated by the police. She did some yoga stretches after a few hours.

Also, if I’m anyone in that movie, I’m the bookseller who manages to both love books and provide valuable goods and services to his community. Who somehow manages to make a living despite the fact that Belle is always going in there, borrowing books, returning them used, and never paying.

Lying about a deadly disease to get information from her is despicable. There is no other side. 

Watched this last night. It’s been a long time since I really thought about this case, and I recall making a real effort to avoid a lot of the tabloid press at the time.

I don’t think it even needs to imply anything, just hang there. Because it’s true, and kind of funny, and also sad. If you were going to describe Trump to someone who’s been living on an island for 40 years, you might say, “Well, he’s the type of guy who likes to hang around beauty pageants.” It would not be a…

Not quite the same thing, but one of my favorite Kinja comments ever was on an article about a teacher who instructed his students to create a Venn diagram of George W. Bush and Hitler:

I mean, I feel like there are all kinds of ways your DNA gets on people’s stuff when you’re sharing a space. As Amanda’s boyfriend, he was probably spending a lot of time there. Like maybe they were doing laundry together and he grabbed her bra instead of Amanda’s before putting it back. I looked at the picture of the…

This was by far the best comment.

Remember the Italian scientists that were convicted of manslaughter, for not predicting an earthquake?

That makes no sense! Of course a murder victim would prefer not to have been murdered. But how that makes it ok to falsely accuse and imprison an innocent party and then pseudo-shame them with, ‘Well, the murder victim would be happy to change places with you!,’ implying are in some way at fault- which they clearly…

You might want to sit down for a while and read this. The Knox case was not Mignini’s first time at the Satanic cult rodeo.

I feel kind of bad for famous cats. They never really seem like they enjoy having to go to all of this shit. Hopefully they are fine and I’m just anthropomorphizing  

Oh hooray I always wanted a chance to pay a lot of money to watch an animal be frightened and abused for my entertainment!

If you publicly state that you think, even partially, that “at the very least [someone] was privy to some kind of pertinent knowledge [of a murder]”, you should be able to say why you think that. If you can’t suggest even one possible reason for thinking someone may have been partially responsible for a murder, it…

Italy. Once I had a German friend during study abroad who told me he could not travel to Italy because he had been convicted of a robbery there. The problem was that he was actually speaking at a conference at the time of the robbery, almost 900 miles away. He is on a time stamped video with a clock and hundreds of…

Nick Pisa is disgusting. He didn’t give a fuck about the girl who died or the lives of people he ruined. He was just focused on talking about how great it felt to churn out trashy headlines after another. It was terrifying to see how he lacked a conscience. And the whole thing was just fabricated through sexism. “Oh,…

I’m surprised they didn’t at least try to jail her for not predicting the murder of her roommate. Since the Italians have no problem jailing people for not seeing the future.

(Knox was even falsely told that she had HIV and encouraged to write a list of all the men she had slept with. The list was then released to the press and published across the world.)

“The significance, of course, is the frequency of love that is within the rose quartz crystal.
