Agreed regarding the reason for the arrest. However, the totally absurd sentence is because she’s a high-visibility American. 

When you are one of the absolute best to ever do a thing, the thing is lucrative, and you have gas left in the tank... why would you ever stop coming back to it, at least from time to time?

Running a stop probably isn’t nearly serious enough to permit them entry, but his refusal to stop *might* be.

The fact that it’s a procedural and jurisdictional issue gives me some hope. There are at least four judges on the 3d DCA that I thought were fair minded and sharp, and who didn’t seem particularly conservative, when they were still at the trial level. The fact that this is about curbing an unauthorized, and otherwise …

I’m Cuban-American and grew up in Miami... “Latinx” (which, can we stop with this stupid term already?) white supremacy does not surprise me in the least. It’s more surprising to me that Republicans haven’t figured out that if they just softened on immigration, they’d have droves of potential future voters who share…

My reading of the article largely matches up with our own, though I think there’s probably room for reasonable people to disagree on what the tone, implications, etc., actually are.

Did he get lost and not realize he’d wandered out of Miami Lakes?

She started the game basically a pawn and brood mare, and not only outlived (if not outright killed,) the majority of her enemies, but ended her life as a monarch, by her lover’s side, and without having bent the knee to her rivals.

Both can be true, but Tywin’s opinion of Cesei’s intelligence (or lack thereof) was what you pointed out seemingly as a rejoinder to my saying that Cersei wasn’t stupid (contrary the article’s “cruel and stupid”) comment.

Tywin clearly underestimated what his children were capable of—which is why he died the way he did. 

Don't forget Cersei—she was evil as shit, but she wasn't stupid. 

There’s something... ironic (is what I’m about to describe irony?) about there being an item here regarding the Wayans Brothers touting a very silly, very dumb movie as a way of combating ‘cancel culture’... and then a few items under that, a reminder that there was recently an attempt on Salman Rushdie’s life (and not…

“‘I am not going to raise her strictly in the African American culture because that’s not who she is,ʼ Brooks said. ‘I’m learning as much as I can right now about Peruvian culture.ʼ”

I’m not conflating incels with the religious right, I’m pointing out a point of alignment—an issue in which they’ve found common cause.

Maybe? I don’t know just how sick Kanye is. Mental illness can alter a person’s perception of reality in ways that will make them believe in the existence of things that most other people agree aren’t real—and I think part of the illness is that (at some point,) it can become extremely difficult or impossible for the…

“a professional hair stylist, who told her”

I had no idea about the Egypt incident. I don’t know whether I think that excuses, in part or in whole, the harm her words might be doing here. However, I don’t think it’s reasonable to expect the survivor of an incident like that to NOT be changed profoundly by the experience. 

I’m really torn here. On one hand, I just don’t care if bad things happen to Kanye West, and I think it’s funny that he was (probably) bamboozled into buying Parler; on the other hand, I affirmatively dislike the idea of anything good happening to Candace Owens or her family.

There’s also just no natural endpoint to the “lock your doors or its partially your fault” mentality—no coherent operational difference between that and calling into question what a sexual assault survivor was wearing, whether they were out “too late”, etc.

The grays are gonna be extra special for this one. Even if you believe “no digital photo is safe; leaks/hacks are imminently foreseeable”—and even if that’s accurate—it’s absurd to blame a victim who did literally *nothing* wrong.
