To think that twenty minutes of this kid’s life (where he just happened to commit a horrific violent crime, with a real victim, and effects that will be with her forever) will result in lifelong consequences for him. Is that fair?

I try to remain impartial until the facts come out. That said, the power dynamics here are incredibly imbalanced. There’s a PR firm working for Depp to control the narrative. Tons of outlets are going out of their way to support Depp. Many more have business interests that would be better served by his version of…

She really shouldn’t have. Shoehorning talented people into a show with a defined format or one with veteran writers is almost always a bad thing. It’s what arrested the development of broadcast late night shows. Johnny Carson killed it with a monologue, a bit, two interviews, and a performer. We’ve had twenty-plus…

Yes, but if he did abuse her when his mother died, why were they eating dinner months earlier in a restaurant?

Of course it means something. It means there are differing accounts of what happened. I’m not making a judgment trustworthiness. I’m saying that an arrest means it is more likely that there was a physical altercation than if there wasn’t an arrest. What that increased likelihood is percentage-wise, I don’t know.

It’s domestic violence. It’s often difficult to prosecute because victims often protect their attacker. The fact that she was arrested for domestic violence is important. It makes it more likely that she acted violently in that relationship. It also makes it more likely she acted violently in her current relationship.

Maybe he ran out of money and needed an alternate payment system.

She also said violence was never the answer right before she picked a career Marine.

I totally get it.

I love K’Naan and have seen him a number of times, so I’m with you that he should be well known.

It’s hard to get people interested in things that don’t affect them. More people could tell you about the political, historical, and economic status of Wakanda than any country in East Africa.

I really hope that the show focuses more on the community and dealing with the kind of issues K’Naan addressed in Troubadour than a strictly Jihadi theme. Al Shabaab has a significant presence in Somalia and Northern Kenya. I’m sure there are refugees that have relationships with members and that recruitment among…

I didn’t think she was great in that role.

Right, and there’s no Romeo and Juliet exception for the filming charge.

The Romeo and Juliet law in Florida applies to the sex offender registration portion of the law. The age of 16 is a bright line for consent in Florida. The boy was older, the girl was younger. He won’t have the benefit of the R&J provision, either. His filming it pretty much guarantees he will have to register as a…

Well Adam Levine did deliver the more believable performance. Keep in mind his much smaller role was that of a pop star who is caught up in himself, being famous, and the LA scene. Maybe acting isn’t the best word choice.

A former high school superstar who can’t come to grips with the real world and runs away without telling anyone, leaving their family to struggle with their departure?

Nathan Fielder stole his career.

He kept The Soup in business for years.
