The people who would lose their jobs or be disgraced deserve to lose their jobs or be disgraced. Burn it all down.

What really broke my heart was how his actions were consistently short of prosecutable, and he apparently knew what he could get away with under the law. According to the accounts I’ve read, it appeared that some of those trying to help were frustrated they couldn’t do so in a manner that would result in proper…

“Her uncle contacted the local police and county sheriff’s offices, which launched an investigation but closed it after two months”

That teacher was a mandated reporter and should have reported it directly to the police or child protective services.  A note to the principal does not meet that legal obligation and at minimum he should be fined and have his license suspended. 

Love to see these fuckers outed. If every man’s dirty secret was exposed, society as we know it would implode. We have a way of life built on the tacit agreement that we protect male sexual predators.

Yeah, I imagine she’s been estranged from her family. She spent her childhood telling everyone about this and nothing ever came of it.

Wow, the Gosar Thanksgiving dinner is going to be awesome! I feel sorry for any Gosar people trying to stay sober. The only way to survive that reunion is a bottle or two of wine.

I would never lie to you

I absolutely expected the headline to be clickbait in some fashion.  It’s really outstanding that, nope, it very much accurately conveys the main topic of the story.

See: Homolka and Bernardo

I also don’t find the Slate piece so compelling, but more importantly, when we say “impressive intelligence,” I more mean “surprising intelligence based on our expectations of a mollusk and of however we judge animal intelligence.” It’s hard to judge another species so dramatically different from us, regardless. Maybe…

Reality shows and romcom makers have the identical defense: the male character needs to “overcome rejection” or “win” an indifferent or reluctant or rejecting woman because conflict is inherent to drama. Will they/won’t they sells.

Yeah; my kneejerk response is “she’s worse than he is” because she should be able to empathize with the victim. But, sociopaths can’t empathize, so...

The only turf left untrod for Bravo is a reality show/ snuff movie hybrid concept.

Miley’s a pretty good singer. But was there much talent to inherit in the first place?

Can I be utterly disgusted and horrified that this asshole’s girlfriend was complicit in his crimes? Whether she did it willingly (making her an asshole as well) or was coerced by him into helping him drug women (making him an utter monster), that’s some seriously fucked-up stuff.

[This is the place where a second person is supposed to add some dickish snark about how poorly edited the website is, ignoring the fact that we continue reading it and it doesn’t actually cost anything. Something something gawker something.]

Stop making Billy Ray’s kids famous. They did not inherit talent.

That Billy Ray shirt really captures that Venn diagram intersection of teens smoking counterfeit Marlboros behind the Walgreens and people who line danced in 1992.
