“... And then they banned CNN and Harry Potter, and no one stood up for me...”

It's really no big deal. I could be wrong, the guy could be a saint. And even if I thought he was Snidely Whiplash, he still didn't have a fair trial. 

If you actually care about what actually happened in this case, you should listen to the first season of Undisclosed. Suffice it to say, Serial left a lot that was relevant on the table in service of chasing down red herrings. Undisclosed is an actual investigation by people who actually know how to conduct one,…

Well said 

I just want to share this supremely underrated Serial spoof by LGBT advocate/media essayist Matt Baume. It has the shitty little synth piano theme, perfectly mimicking the tone and editing style while using the mostly forgotten 1994 Kathleen Turner film as the subject.

Which state will win the race to the bottom and ban all books other than the Bible?

This is an intentional play to promote division, and worse, promoting white supremacy. Keeping the next generation of kids ignorant of cultures, sexualities, nationalities, genders, races, empathy and compassion, and even sex safety and preparedness creates a new GOP voting base who are also poor, dumb, and desperate.

Too bad there isn’t a not-for-profit that can coordinate with independent booksellers to give these away to age appropriate kids for free. Or a way to force big box booksellers to give them away.

I’ve always wanted to see him do a movie set in Williamsburg about the clash between hipsters and orthodox Jews. Maybe it could be set in a deli. Starring Timothy Chalamet and Jeff Goldblum (but they’re not in the roles you think they’ll be. Chalamet is teh orthodox Jew, and Goldblum is the hipster).

Always worth considering that our own perspectives are not universal

You don’t have to approve of Rosie’s appearance. I’m sure she’s fine with that too.

Was not expecting so many Woody Allen simps in the comments section. He ain't never gonna fuck you, guys, what with you not being his adopted daughter and all.

The Alec Baldwin interview was dumb, but to call it terrifying seems over the top. It was 10 mins of Woody Allen saying the same thing he said in this interview.

Nah.  He made some good ones just after that.  He should have stopped at 25 like DiCaprio.

He almost fell into one of the classic pitfalls, the passive ”I’m sorry IF my actions made you feel that way,” but he caught himself amd course corrected.

Exactly. Tone of voice aside, repeatedly calling an expert witness “young lady” begs the question... should she have responded to that insulting diminutive by politely reminding him of her name, or by politely addressing him as “old man?”

Clay Higgins is my congressman, so I can assure you that he always acts like that. He may be drunk sometimes, but he is always very, very stupid. He was also fired from two law enforcement jobs—in Louisiana! He was too bad at law enforcement for Louisiana!!—and is on wife #5. So it’s probably safe to assume that no,…

I also doubt he would’ve responded like that if his opponent was a man. He’s a coward. 

“...gave me enough doubt so that if I was a juror I’d say not guilty.”

I for one can’t think of a case of wrongful conviction where there wasn’t a confluence of bad luck.
