If Spencer is any indication, Britney would not have enjoyed being the Duchess of Cambridge; somehow I feel like the Royal family minders would quickly put the kibosh on her social media thirst traps, and weekly or sometimes daily IG videos dancing and twirling in her pajamas.

I’ve said this before, but even if she’s acquitted of the murder (which I would say is the correct result,) self-defense is not available to defend against arson or larceny charges.

This is a bullshit obfuscation of the issues; she shot the asshole to keep him from raping her—the fact that he’d abused her on a slew of other occasions is offered to add credence to the idea that he was, in fact, a prolific rapist, and she his frequent victim.

Do you think he actually understands, or is just saying that because he’s over the discussion? I’d argue you’re only really being petty in the former case.

I have no marriage to assault weapons and could care less if people are allowed to have them or not, but what does a ban on those type of weapons look like?

The pill taking, even though none of the activists are currently pregnant, was meant to be a middle finger to the conservative justices listening to oral arguments.

Setting this drama aside for a moment, it’s important to note that abortion bans are the removal of bodily autonomy, and lawmakers have no business passing them[.]

To be fair, the government is spending shit loads of money prosecuting those people. Hundreds of individual investigations, arrests, prosecutions, trials, etc. Fuckin’ Qanon Shaman is going away for the better part of four years (though with good behavior and the like, who knows whether he’ll serve even half of that.)

IMDB doesn’t show him in anything since 2019 (and even that, the last season of Empire he was in, appears to have been merely airing in 2019.) I saw a headline wherein he recently wrote and directed his own movie this year—but that’s basically a bunch of nobodies taking a check and hopefully getting a SAG card. If…

I’ve always been pretty convinced that Jussie faked the attack, and is in fact guilty of what he’s charged with... but fuck this is such a waste of public resources. False reporting of racially-motivated assaults is not common enough that a “message” needs to be sent. The man has been humiliated and discredited; he is…

I get that “justice” is a make-believe concept without any objective meaning, and that defining it in any given situation is both a moving target and an “eye of the beholder”-type thing. However, if a verdict we agree with, with a potential sentence we’d agree with (life without parole is a not-fucking-around sentence;…

Because it seems like it’s in Jez’s wheelhouse to do some minimal amount research into CEOs who either (or both) operate in ways that jibe with the site’s social politics (e.g., CEOs who champion family leave, fair hours/wages, environmentally friendly approaches, etc.,) or who are members of marginalized communities…

This feels like a potential fake to me—Dorsey is still CEO of Square (an actually profitable company, mind you,) and there’s been speculation that Square could acquire Twitter. So Dorsey could ultimately end up controlling Twitter again anyway, with his hand-picked successor taking the wheel in the interim.

I also thought the take above was weird. For all this himbo faults, I don’t see McConaughey being the gung-ho abortion crusader that Abbott seems to want to be.

To my eyes, that’s a fairly clear case of self-defense. Rapist was going to rape her, she shot him to prevent he rape. But I don’t know that self-defense is available for arson (burning down the house,) or grand theft (stealing the car).

But today was not a win.

Even if this commission suggested FDR levels of court packing it would be DOA until we can abolish the filibuster, which won’t be happening anytime soon especially if the midterms don’t go our way.

Anyone know whether that t-shirt is for sale anywhere? I looked around online for 5 or 10 minutes, but couldn’t find it; then it occurred to me I might be unnecessarily duplicating someone else’s efforts.

For Mayer’s sake, I’m just glad he didn’t cross Beyonce.

 I guess I just associate the “tabloid style” with being mean, nasty, cynical, and regressively hurtful.
