I’m not sure I see how a Civil War would work when there’s not really a discrete geographic region that would want to break away. (There’s the deep south, of course, but they need federal money to function and they know it.) Otherwise, 100% agreed.

Agreed; but even in the case of a mistrial without prejudice, you still wouldn’t be dealing with an appeals situation.

I’m an attorney, but not an appellate attorney. That said, I think it’s important to note that if Rittenhouse is acquitted, there is no appeal. If Rittenhouse is acquitted on all charges, he goes free (full stop.) If he’s acquitted of some charges, but convicted of others, the convictions are appealable, but the…

Appeal if he is acquitted?

No. Life does not have to be weird. Let yourself imagine having nice things.

Also,

Paul Rudd is sexy AF and I will not hear another word about it. 

Charming, wholesome men are sexy. John Legend, Paul Rudd, Russell Wilson types who project security, safety. Ever wake up to a man smiling at you with kind eyes? Instant horniness. That shit is sexy.

There are horror stories about how Denzel treats people. Ask Bronson Pinchot. And I have seen it myself in red carpet interviews.

She probably perceived some hostility from Denzel (regardless of whether it was warranted,) but doesn’t appear to have ever perceived any hostility from Lauer. Also, Lauer only seems to have preyed upon women over whom he a disproportionate amount of power (social, professional, institutional, etc.,) and Couric’s was…

We have a tendency right now to look at all art through a social worker’s eyes.

I feel like there was a gross narrative created around Katie that was: nice and appropriately feminine women can still be successful! See, you don’t have to be an angry butch woman, look at Katie. So for that reason some of us alto-voiced, sassy, elder millennials kind of cringed at her. But really, she is quite a…

Now I want to see a movie about Kristin Stewart herself who went through similar attacks from the media and society for her Twilight series, how she had to straight-wash herself for her career, how poorly she was treated compared to her male co-stars on her many PR events, her coming out process, and how the media and…

Personally, I think its intentional. He’s a massive piece of shit and I believe 100%, he would say something like this on purpose. Allegedly, he wants ton of children, as all toxic Christians do, is being groomed for a political career, and again allegedly, left Anna after she had miscarriage. 

 I still think a lot about Hannah Gadsby’s bits. Can’t say the same for Chappelle.

I remember seeing another comedian (a huge name who I can’t remember) do a bit in his set about one of his kids coming out. It was hilarious and touching because it dealt with how the world had changed and he felt out of touch, but ultimately landed on empathy and trying to understand.

This is why we can’t have nice things anymore. Legacy is such a difficult story to write given that norms change and with them our understanding of how they weren’t always the best. Between “The Untouchables” and “The Hunt for Red October”, I’m hard pressed to say which I favor. Connery is an iconic actor and…

In previous similar accidents the cause has been fragments of previous blank rounds lodged in the barrel. It’s the responsibility of the prop-master to clean them between firings and ensure their safety.

The obvious desire to insinuate that Alec Baldwin is criminally responsible for purposefully shooting someone is gross.

Why call out that there was no definitive proof the gun was not a prop gun, but not any of the other facts of the story that came from the same or similar sources (i.e. the investigators)? Seems like you’re trying to imply something.
