Legacy is largely a function of how one is remembered. I am not confident that we (i.e., human beings,) are good at nuance or context when it comes to judging others. So, I think that when it comes to public perception and “legacy,” under most circumstances, you (and me, and Senator Feinstein, and everyone,) are only…

Your comment looked like an attempt to rehabilitate a very problematic response to a perfectly reasonable question. Moreover, the comment doesn’t appear to address the most obvious issue or concern someone might have with Feinstein making a statement that would cast doubt on her mental faculties.

Agreed with your sentiments. The order of my preference is: (1) Best case; (2) Worst case; (3) Most likely case—mostly because only the Best and Worst case scenarios would be entertaining to me.

Agreed. Class act all the way.

They get a lot of milage out the character being a dumb jock, but this is an instance in which Jaime is demonstrated to have had more or less the “correct” position all along, despite having fucked up due to pure oversight. Notably, Jaime is also the only person who unequivocally takes Keely’s side, and offers an…

He tells her he initially didn’t delete some or all of it because he thought they were just going to get back together, but once he realized it was actually/really over, he deleted (what he believed to be) everything.

“we’re supposed to find it romantic that her ex-partner would keep sexual content of her even after the end of their relationship. That, at the very least, is debatable.”

These people have spent 40+ years sheltering and praising a man who, at the age of 43, drugged and raped a 13-year-old girl, was put on trial, and fled the jurisdiction before sentencing. Hell, before 2021, French law didn’t even automatically consider it rape for an adult to have sex with child under the age of 15.

GTFO with Justice Smith. I’m not going to bellyache about a Black Superman because there’s just nothing about the character that necessitates that they white—the Kents could easily be Black farmers in Smallville, Kansas (because Black Superman raised by white adoptive parents changes the dynamics of Clark finding out…

Had to look this up—was not disappointed!

I’d like a Lauren Boebert/Steven Crowder debate on no-fault divorce.

I'm sure Jayson doesn't love that he's now married to someone vastly more powerful and important than he is. Dudes like this tend to take their female partners' success as a personal affront.

As a reminder, not remembering where one has been for weeks, despite the fact that that very topic was the subject of much public discussion and rancor, can make a person look like they’re as cognitively impaired as people fear they are.

Well, not everyone who is eligible gets $1.2mm—the payout is supposed to be proportionate to the oppression faced. So younger Black people have been oppressed less than older Black people, so they get less money. In no case would it be everyone getting $1.2mm, however, the ultimate number will probably still be some…

I remain convinced she’s got a cushy, do-nothing private equity gig lined up, and is just running the clock out on her term.

I’m probably not alone in wondering how much it would cost to implement a maximalist version of this (i.e., full payment per Calmatters calculations; full finding of all associated programs; etc.) None of the links above provide a number—not even an approximation.

Sure; it’s definitely not a selling point that Johnny Depp is associated with the brand. I’m simply not deterred. I don’t associate the scent with Depp enough to really think about the man when I spritz it on, and there doesn’t seem to be any social penalty whatsoever for wearing the fragrance since most people who…

That’s practically the system we have right now, but with an extra layer of judicial review and superfluous complexity.

I agree that the issue here isn’t the Overton window; Republicans simply gave up on the idea of democracy, and were open and vocal about it.

What happens when one 9-Justice SCOTUS panel recognizes a Constitutional right to abortion; then Texas or Florida pass an anti-abortion law, it gets appealled back up to SCOTUS again, and a different 9-Justice configuration says there is no such Constitutional right; then someone challenges that law, and starts…
