Yup. Supposedly a metaphor for his excessive drinking.

I have an idea. Let’s all form up into two teams and make pointless arguments in the comments.

She was a sixteen year old victim of sexual abuse performing in pornography. It is possible to recognize that, due to her successfully obtaining a legitimate ID, the people involved in allowing her to perform were acting in good faith without smearing her as some vicious scammer. Again, she was sixteen. It is a…

How does she figure? She did a miniscule amount of time in 1991 for tax evasion. Let me guess—as a side hustle, Lords also presented herself as a CPA and mishandled Lynn’s taxes? Cause that’s the only way I can square this.

Thank you for this. These comments are making me sick. She discusses her rape as a child in her book (by a teenage neighbor). Her mom helped her get into porn. This is not some mastermind, she is an abuse victim.

I am unsatisfied by nearly every ‘hot-take’ except for yours. I think this is the kind of controversy that burned everyone it touched. I think the impulse to put lords on a pedestal as a victim comes from the right place, but isn’t correct. The porn industry, especially the porn industry of yesteryear, has a…

This sounds like a really gross podcast. Glad to know I can give it a miss.

“You ruined my life because you did porn while underage” is certainly an interesting grudge to hold. We need to be honest about the industry when discussing how that was even possible. Sure plenty of people sneak into bars with a fake ID but this was a job. She was able to get past an I-9? She falsified documents that…

I remember one of my very first lectures in law school was about an old California Supreme Court case about whether a girl who was 17 3/4 when she had sex with the defendant was “for all intents and purposes” 18, and the court ruled she was for much the same reasons listed here (she “acted like an adult”, she gave the…

Or what about this? She was both scammer and victim? She was sixteen when the age of consent was eighteen. This law exists because sixteen-year-olds cannot consent to sex with adults, cannot enter contracts, cannot do many things that require adult reasoning (which, of course, many adults don’t use).

this podcast has a single review lol... hopefully it’ll continue with that level of traction

And their uncle, George, Duke of Clarence. 

And a couple of wives of Henry the Eighth

Hardly, the second World War is remembered quite positively in Britain as far as wars go. Sure, the Blitz sucked. But that was also the time they absolutely trashed the Luftwaffe. And while Americans might like to think it was them that won the war, the British played an equally large, if not larger role in liberating…

The Trump’s aren’t political royalty, one member of the family won one election one time.

“OTOH, I do respect the Windsors’ conduct during the Second World War.”

Australia has a Republic movement that wants to replace the next Monarch with a President as head of Government. Canada should consider this.

The only 2 royals that happened to were children....

I’m American, but I’ve never understood it, either. I boycotted Charles and Diana’s wedding. I was 17. I thought all the fuss was ridiculous. A 19-year-old woman without a college education marrying a guy over 30? And her virginity being discussed? And her job was to bear a son or two? Ugh.

He once reportedly rammed his own park gates at his Windsor home with his £80,000 Range Rover because he didn’t want to drive a mile out of his way and they wouldn’t open.
