My basic point was to respond to you saying Jolie had a “crazy good” reputation and that she is “basically squeaky clean.”

Hi, those reports first surfaced in 2016 in connection with her divorce from Depp, I don’t think her arrest (the charges were subsequently dismissed) was public knowledge at the time it happened, or at least not widely reported on, so I’m not sure that shows that her reputation was bad before she got together with…

Jolie had a reputation for being crazy (not to mention a homewrecker, because of the beginning of her relationship with Pitt).  Drinking blood, making out with her brother, carrying blood around with her, marrying Billy Bob Thornton, all stuff that normal people don’t do.  If you remember the beginning of their…

Interesting to use the phrase “crazy good” about Jolie. That wasn’t intentional?

So you think Heard got the treatment she did because she was a “relative nobody” (???) compared to Depp? Or because you think Heard’s current behavior is worse (by the way, the shitting on the bed thing, like a lot of allegations you heard about Heard’s behavior, is almost certainly bullshit). I think this article…

I guess at some point these people are going to have to decide whether they oppose abortion because they think it is “murder” (hence the “pro-life” moniker), or whether it is something else (i.e. controlling women’s bodies). Because even as craven as the GOP is, it’s a bit difficult for them to imagine standing behind…

Anyways, there are obviously romantic scenes between Jamie and Cersei that are treated tenderly, again, particularly near the end of the show.  I don’t think it’s a ringing endorsement for incest, but it doesn’t present incest as the sort of gross, disgusting thing I think we generally view it as.  As far as his hands…

It’s seen by other characters as a negative thing, but both Jamie and Cersei make arguments for it, and the relationship itself is often treated with some tenderness, especially towards the end. And the love scene between Rhaenrya and Daemon here is presented pretty tenderly, and Rhaenyra’s offer of an incestuous…

This article isn’t about the media keeping the same bullshit story alive, this article is about whether Oscar voters will punish Smith in perpetuity for his slap.  There is actually nothing hypocritical with having a lot of stories about a shocking incident in the immediate aftermath of that incident, but positing…

Uhhhh....I think it frequently makes the case for incest.

Have you ever watched any GoT?

thanks

liver damage?

If it got someone killed and/or resulted in a fatwa, how would that not be a crowning achievement?

Come on.  The Saudi government would never hurt anyone.

lol

I feel like I’m going crazy.  This guy cheated on his wife.  Because it was with a coworker, I get why they got lawyers/HR involved, but beyond that, this all seems so fucking overwrought.  I’m having a little trouble seeing how whether Rich has “had to publicly address the loss of someone you consider family” is…

Well, we don’t have all the facts yet, and if there is one organization that has earned the benefit of the doubt with their years, nay decades, of administering upstanding, evenhanded, incorruptible justice, it is the LAPD, surely!

I think the problem is with the system, not with the storytelling. Attaining power in Westeros is ultimately a matter of convincing people you have a valid legal claim to power, not convincing them you will wield it better. They are not completely separate spheres, as one of the ways to convince some people to support…

In “Driftmark” Rhaenyra and Daemon plotted to get rid of Ser Laenor Velaryon—almost immediately after his sister’s death—by way of his lover, Ser Qarl Correy. Leanor may have sailed away unscathed, but it’s likely we’ll never see either of them on the show again. Laenor was a good father to Rhaenyra’s children, he…
