Personally, I think the only thing that would really hurt the GOP in the midterms would be not getting Kavanaugh through.

Yeah, totally. It’s more than likely that Mia Farrow wasn’t great to all her kids, and was even abusive and neglectful to her adopted kids. It should be a lot harder for American celebrities to just collect like five foreign children in quick succession.

This is honestly the best comment on this this post. It’s not so much “was there coaching?” as, how typical is this kind of violation vs. how often a penalty is actually handed out for it.

How do you think the needle was moved for legal and cultural characterization of female victims of sexual assault?

Or he could have stopped trying to fuck her when she clearly wasn’t into it. 

I’m not hearing a lot of ‘he should burn in hell,’ though. I think the anger is mostly about the power imbalance. Louis got away with this for years, and now even after this has come out, he’s making a comeback.

If I asked anyone at my work if they want to watch me jerk off, I’d be fired. And I *might* have trouble getting another job after that, too. 

Kids caught up in gang violence face long prison sentences, lost opportunities, and also potential death or maiming. They also weren’t given ten years to do their crimes before facing any kind of consequences.

None of the men mentioned here are facing jail time. They’re free to go wherever they please, and are extremely rich. No one’s talking about locking them up.

Sure, why not? Just think it’s weird, that’s all.

Exactly. It doesn’t matter what the two sides are. Pick the middle, and you can immediately feel intelligent and reasonable. Don’t think about the consequences, or what actually works, just . . . choose the middle.  Magically, you’re now interesting and informed.

I mean, from what he went on to do, it looks like he endured all that torture in order to then go on and kill even more brown people he’s never met. He could be a hero, or he could just be a shitty person who’s good at enduring torture for his outdated, fucked-up cause.

So, this show’s black characters aren’t great, right? One maid, one high school friend, and then a murder victim. Only the wife of Camille’s boss seems like a real character, and not totally two-dimensional.

Well, I can certainly understand disliking the neighborhood you used to be homeless in, and I believe that being homeless there is miserable. There are lots of neighborhoods that are pretty nice but would be terrible to be homeless in though, no? 

There’s a lot of good food in Seattle, but if you think Pioneer Square is a ‘bad neighborhood’ that’s probably why you’re not finding it.

It’s always cheaper to automate than pay a human. 

I’m sure if you looked it up, you could get an idea of why labor groups set the number at 15. It’s unlikely that that they chose it at random . . .

Really? I feel like the last few episodes have been strongly hinting that Adora is the killer. And it seemed implied in this episode that she’d also killed Camille and Amma’s sister.  It’s interesting about Alan, I hadn’t thought of him as a suspect at all. 

True!

Yeah, Crash won, and *so* did Shakespeare in love. So let’s not pretend that Best Picture is some kind of uncorrupted lily.
