Huh, interesting. I actually live in WI (and have my whole life) and haven’t heard about this. I’m not surprised, though. It’s clear to me now that police misconduct is not an uncommon event.

Thank you! I said something similar in another comment. At this point it really is not about guilty vs. innocent, it’s about the right to a fair trial and the miscarriage of justice that took place.

Those people from Northwestern University are still working on his case. I believe it’s still being (or yet to be) considered by the federal court in Milwaukee.

So you really think this investigation and trial was carried out soundly with no misconduct or actions that are grounds for a mistrial?

It’s fun for everyone to play detective and go through the evidence and talk about whether we think he (and Brendan) were guilty or not. But that truly is not the main objective of this documentary. Has anyone watched this and not been convinced that serious police misconduct occurred? In both the original wrongful…

Thank you! In retrospect I’m very happy I was rejected from that first one because this one is a much better fit and a much better location. Maybe something similar will happen for you!

SAME. I was at a retirement party for a coworker last night and drank a little more than I had planned. Slept til 11 today and didn’t want to do ANYTHING besides eat, watch TV, dick around online, and snuggle with my cat. Which is what I did. All day.

Holy shit. I’m so sorry. I’m sure I’m repeating what everyone else has said, but if that was his reaction to you getting devastatingly ill, instead of having compassion and being helpful and caring, then this divorce is the best thing that could possibly happen. When something like that happens, it can feel enraging…

How did you meet? I’m struggling to find a man who is not only liberal and feminist but is also PASSIONATE about social issues and is able to hold an intellectual conversation about them. Tinder just isn’t cutting it, lol.

After I got my Masters I applied for a job where there ended up being over 100 applicants. They did phone interviews with I think around 20, and then narrowed it down to 3 people for in-person interviews (which I made it to). It was out of state so I flew there and rented a car (luckily I had a friend there so I was…

Welcome back!

Listen (if you have to), nod, and say “well I should get back to work”

Yeah I responded to them — he loves the laser but my parents’ cat got tired of it after a while and so I don’t want to use it TOO much. He is one of the most hyper cats I’ve met, he could honestly play nonstop for hours. I feel like I buy him a new toy every week lol. It’s good cause I want him to be active and…

I try, but it’s just me and him in a 1 bedroom apartment so I think he gets bored easily. I have a laser that he LOOVES chasing that tires him out but I don’t want to overuse it. I have a bunch of the sticks with strings/toys on the end of them that he likes chasing, and I have one of those circular toys where a ball…

I have similar sleep problems. My big thing is trying to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day (which always gets derailed when I go out on weekends, but I try).

My cat just jump-climbed up my curtains in my bedroom and completely pulled them down from the wall >:( And he originally did not at all scratch my couch but lately he’s started to scratch it, I think usually when he wants attention. Any suggestions for things that have worked to counter naughty kitty behavior? He’s…

I just got a bunch of different teas from Teavana! I think I’m going to try either the chamomile bloom herbal, or the Maharaja chai :-)

Counterpoint: After Scott Walker, “Making a Murderer,” Paul Ryan, and the Duke game, we need SOMETHING good.

I want to start doing workout videos too! I used to be pretty good at going to the gym, but with my new job I take the bus home from work so I can’t drive to the gym on the way home, and I usually don’t get home until around 5:30ish, and my kitty is sad that I was gone all day so I feel bad leaving him again to go to…

I was out last night and missed my chance to be un-grayed by Mark. SO UPSET.
