Well first off I would say people need to stop knee-jerking all criticism as instant vilification.

Police were looking for Speed but as they approached Locke, who was asleep on the couch, Officer Hanneman opened fire upon seeing his handgun.

I wish they would just tell Manchin to write the bill he would pass.

Agreed. I would understand turning down work to portray darker skinned people (whether a real life person, or a fictional character that was conceived of as being dark skinned,) but just turning down work generally? What would even be the schema for determining what to turn down (turn down every other offer; or every…

Anita Hill is 65 — that doesn’t make her inept or incapable of doing the job, but it’d be a dumb way to play the game. Trump definitely understood this, as his Justices are 50, 54, and 56, respectively. The other liberals on the Court are 61 (Kagan,) and 65 (Sotomayor.) The smart play is to put someone in there who…

Seating the first ever Black woman Justice will be symbolically meaningful, but otherwise (i.e., practically-speaking,) insignificant. Justice Breyer was known (at one time at least,) as someone who was able to find middle ground between liberals and conservatives on the Court, and forge negotiated, compromise…

remembered as just one nameless body in a sea of matching performers. The moment they set foot on that freshly painted field, however, they are the show[.]

I have a handful of “colleagues” that probably fit this description (I have to check on the babysitting thing, but even money says they wouldn’t turn down the cash.) What’s more, and similar to Lionel Hutz, they frequently watch Matlock in bars in preparation for important hearings and mediation.

Frankly, fuck Joe Rogan (for so many reasons.) However, this snippet of his explanation (which is the only part quoted above, so I’m assuming it’s the most damning,) does not strike me as all that out there:

This was also my understanding regarding copyrights. Admittedly I’m not an IP lawyer, but I just sort of assumed that this was a “sauce for the goose” situation, inasmuch as the rationale for the rules announced in Muchnick and Fourth Estate Public Benefits Corp didn’t seem to me (again, not an IP lawyer,) dealt with…

His office said that under the moratorium, a no-knock warrant can only be used if there is an imminent threat of harm, and even then the warrant must be approved by the chief.

Given the dearth of Black women on the Federal bench, simply being a Black woman nominated for such a position (at any level—district, circuit, or SCOTUS,) makes one exceptional. Semantics aside, everyone on Biden’s short list is a superstar; they make ACB look like Lionel Hutz. 

Do you really believe, especially how a lot of men actually view women and are perceived to view women, that a lot of these men would stop with just “abusing” these bots? Because, if you are, you have far more faith than I do.

I agree that there are degrees of punishment, but we’re not talking about an accidental whoopsie here. Regardless of whether you believe that CEOs at this level should make the ungodly sums of money they do, the nominal reason for it is that helming a multi-billion-dollar enterprise is a very high-stakes job, and…

It definitely doesn’t sound like Zucker is a creep, abuser, or predator (at least not based on just this story.) However, that corporate policy exists for a reason. Obligating people to disclose their interoffice relationships (or, at a minimum, relationships with an uneven power dynamic demonstrable on the org…

That’s a heck of a place to get on the job training.

When I saw the trailer I thought it looked like The O.C. with Black people (underprivileged kid is plucked from his lower or lower-middle class life and dropped into the world of money and excess with a bunch of spoiled rich kids,) albeit with seemingly a bit more of an edge (which makes sense, as I think modern teen s…

I love it when Taraji P. Henson gets work, not just because I enjoy her as an actor, but because she is always hilarious when she’s promoting a project. Every time I see her doing press for a movie or TV show, I would swear she’s been drinking and it is delightful.

I read the complaint—it looks well-plead enough to survive an MTD, so I think it’s likely that they get to discovery (and of particular interest, depos.) The question for me is whether the league and owners learned anything about covering their tracks since the Kaepernick suit; I’d wager they probably have. Even money…

Okay, but, to be fair, they were at least all lawyers. That said, there was a time when one could be admitted to the bar of a great many states without a law degree (there’s only four or five where that’s still the case today.) Law school as we know it today hasn’t always been a thing, and LSAC wasn’t founded until…
