I generally agree with how the LAPD part was handled, but I question that the Oscars didn’t do anything like escort Smith out before the Best Actor presentation because Rock didn’t want that. It’s not Rock’s show and he wasn’t even one of the hosts. It was incumbent on the Academy to implement policies for their…

If you actually look at the line, it’s a lot of stuff that can be worn as lounge or work out or casual around the house or activity wear - exactly what she and her dancers are wearing on Big Grrrls. If you actually read the article, this is explained:

If you think European countries or even EU members are liberal and supportive of LGBTQ rights, I invite you to look at the laws in Hungary, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic.

NATO is a military alliance. Ukraine is a member of the UN. What is your point, and what does any of it have to do with LGBTQ rights?

The choking and 15 different positions are so ubiquitous in porn. Then men try to copy that in bed and it’s like, learn to do one thing well first and btw, get consent from your partner before trying anything but especially potentially dangerous shit.

None of his relationships are healthy. They’re intense, rapid, high-profile, and then they implode in under a year.

Notably, Russia has been known to detain Americans on exaggerated charges, making the possibility of Griner being fashioned as a political pawn between the east and west likely.

This is way more interesting than anything posted above.

There was no set date and Putin changed his mind multiple times, so yes, the arrest happened two weeks before the war broke out in earnest due to the entrance of occupying troops in a sovereign country and its resistance.

The post specifically links to posts that discuss the diplomatic interventions being made. So when someone directly misstates those facts and says there aren’t ANY diplomatic relations in a comment, yes, I do think it’s relevant to the post.

Are you serious? Saying someone doesn’t have “diplomatic relations” with a country means a very specific thing. There are multiple countries that the U.S. doesn’t have diplomatic relations with and lots of countries don’t have diplomatic relations with other countries.

The alert is required according to U.S. law whenever there’s a withdrawal over $10,000. The teller thought it was a problem with the identification. It’s been reported in other outlets that when the manager came to ask what the alarm was about, the teller told her it was an attempted robbery because of the alert…

The U.S. absolutely has diplomatic relations with Russia, including a functioning embassy and ambassador. Don’t know what you’re talking about.

I don’t think we can assume it was planted with so little information about the case, especially when she was detained for an incident that allegedly happened almost two weeks before the war broke out. 

Hash vapes are and always have been illegal in Russia. That applies to everyone. The facts of whether Griner actually brought these vaping pods into Russia has not been released, but the drug law isn’t “politically motivated.” It’s been the same and applicable to all who live in or travel to Russia.

100 percent this. Writing an uninformed blog on this is not the woke justice release result the author thinks will happen. These negotiations and successes, which are rare, only happen through private diplomatic channels. Putin couldn’t care less about the U.S. media response to this case.

Peterson pled no contest to a misdemeanor and got 2 years probation, plus his 6 game NFL suspension. Notable that he was dropped from his team, joined another team, but his career was basically ended.

Sorry I have serious doubts about Britney’s ramblings after the last time when she accused a 12-year-old Jamie Lynn Spears of plotting against her as an actual child with abusive parents. Britney’s viewpoint may be very valid to Britney but I question its basis in reality.

I was so bored by the first two episodes. They’re way too long. I don’t think I’ll watch the rest.
