Not sure what the law is in Mississippi, but I’d wager that if she was 12 or 13 when she was impregnated, it was *categorically* rape.

“[A]n empire that has caused far more harm than anything she’s done with it to ‘help’ others.”

Presumably, this will come out in discovery. I’m definitely curious to see how this shakes out. This whole situation has the makings for a law school exam fact pattern.

“The thing to remember about [Insert Any “Top #” List or Awards Nominations] is that someone is always left out, and someone is always offended. This isn’t unique to [Insert Genre or Medium] and isn’t a new phenomenon in the entertainment world. Give it a day or two and another big name will make their grievances…

I’m waiting for a lot more info but it’s very very telling to me that they lost the heart beat (that’s information I hadn’t heard before). There are lots of reasons why it might have happened, but it’s also an emergency.

Like I said above, I’m not disputing that BIPOC women have worse medical outcomes, but in any given medical case you still need to be able to point to the place where the overall racism in the system manifested itself to produce the poor outcome—which isn’t difficult to do! In fact, in this case, it’s entirely…

This is not a case of someone close to the elderly individual abusing their position of power and trust to advantage themselves over the old or enfeebled person—this very rich guy was contacted through third parties and there is no allegation above of any self-dealing or that this wasn’t an arm’s-length transaction.…

I’m not disputing that BIPOC Women statistically have worse outcomes in our medical system, but I think we should consider that this case might be vastly more about the the poor judgment and gross negligence of one particular doctor, if only because Dr. Tracey St. Julian is herself a Black woman.

It seems unlikely that they would actually be able to convict her for conspiracy to commit murder. Proving beyond a reasonable doubt that she wasn’t being performative, edgy, etc., would probably be difficult. The again, it is Texas.

So a couple of millionaires tried to buy a house from a third millionaire for millions upon millions of dollars—but one of the millionaires involved is saying he lacked capacity to do the deal for somewhat understandable reasons. I’m having a difficult time mustering sympathy here; no one involved seems like they’re…

Well, she has a right to say whatever she wants (with some incredibly narrow exceptions,) but she does not have a right to this particular job.

Yeah, I saw my typo entirely too late to do anything about it. Sigh.

What kind of stuff do you have in mind?

Anyone who openly displays (and publishes!) such utter contempt or hostility for other human beings on the bases of race or ethnicity, is probably a PR nightmare waiting to happen.

Looked at the Tweets to see just how bad this actually was. It seems pretty bad.

The conspiracy theories floating around the internet about this are truly wild. I took a peek at the comments under this story on No Jumper’s IG, and, well, let’s just say I wasn’t ready. It reads like the copium screeds you find by Qanon people under stories or videos about Trump having lost the election.

Because there is no one willing to exercise a check on his power. The legislature will do whatever he wants them to do; the Supreme Court of Florida is deeply conservative and some of the justices on it were put there by DeSantis.

Sending sexually explicit images of someone to their partner or loved one for to get back at them... sounds like renege porn.

Dear RNC:

RE- Bill Maher’s review of “Barbie”, how relevant is it really that 41% of the real life Mattel board are women?
