I find it very strange that lawyers defending clients widely perceived to be guilty are somehow held to be responsible for their crimes. Would you recommend that a surgeon refuse to treat a murderer? Or the CEO of Enron?

That’s not correct. I work in the same field and am familiar with her background (unrelated and previously to her relationship with Clooney). She worked for Chambers in several criminal tribunals and while she now works for a private firm that does defence work in international criminal proceedings, they also (as does…

Fucking cancer. Blergh. One of its annoying habits is generating binds like this, and creating terrible choices for clinicians who need to weigh the statistical vs. the anecdotal. For instance, when the FDA says there’s minimal additional risk to women undergoing morcellation, they aren’t wrong: few patients will have…

Getty images are stock.

Let me interject a brief reality check: single non-hideous men with good jobs (or, in this case, an international reputation and not without charm) don’t have to work that hard to get women to go to bed with them in our century.

I always try to see things from other people’s perspective and in the case of the Yellowstone wolves the cattle farmers seem to have a legitimate gripe. Wolves were eradicated from the area a long time ago so when many made the decision to go into raising big, slow, delicious cows they weren’t anticipating having to…

Similar to the ‘subversiveness’ of the gap tooth trend.

Like a lot of “trends” (ugh), this only really works if you’re already Very Conventionally Attractive. Then, it’s an interesting imperfection/quirk, rather than Yet Another Thing That’s Wrong With Your Face. Thanks but nah.

I have another comment here, but this might be more succinct.

This should be surprising, given that the GOP claims to be the Party of Small Government™. Then you realize this is the same state (and many of the same politicians) that responded to local fracking bans by creating a rule that only the state could decide where fracking is banned... so not much of a surprise.

Adoption agencies declaring that they’ll shut down and make all those poor babies just suffer without parents unless you give them what they want are essentially Sheriff Bart from Blazing Saddles holding a gun to his head.

I don’t think that was the intention, but it’s sure as shit going to be used that way.

You mean the right wing media, yes? Because normal media has been nothing but sympathetic and kind to all the parties who were not Alex Jones in this case. It’s his compatriots and followers who would harass his ex and children.

If Kegel exercises don’t work after 3-6 months I send patients for pelvic floor physical therapy. A specially trained therapist will have to use some rather invasive techniques to better strengthen the area. Not surprisingly it’s a difficult to find resource, but it’s usually effective when Kegel exercises fail. So…

There are ways to ingest your weed that are less likely to cause coughing, have you considered switching to a bong or vaping?

I just read the decision and it is delicious. The Judge smacked down the Justice Department (and Trump) hard. And it shows that the DOJ can’t just get away with making arguments in court that are readily contradicted by the statements of the President. For instance, the DOJ had argued that the order was essentially…

Tomatoe, tomatoh. Religion and culture are deeply intertwined, of course, and either one when exported can bring things with it; my point is only that you can lose the religion and the practice will likely still continue because those who practice it are not doing so because of religious conviction. They’re doing it…

Speaking as a circumcised trans woman, it’s still super fucked up and damaging. Pretending non consensual circumcision is cool isn’t helping anyone. If the clit has been removed, I agree. If the labia and hood have been removed? That’s kinda close. Both can be wrong. It doesn’t have to be a contest.
