Are you fucking kidding me? I am typing this through tears right now because this is absolutely so heinous and horrifying. I want to give these children all the strength and love in the world. I cannot believe Nicki is going to defend this rapist.

This is awful in so many ways. I 100% believe that girl was raped, and I 100% believe that a scumbag lawyer could convince the girl’s distraught mother into believing that $25million would be an acceptable punishment. The only thing I didn’t believe was when the boy said his mother didn’t beat him - or rather, that…

This is so sad. From the criminology courses that I have taken, it could be that the reason why he married her was to get access to the kids. Jesus this is tragic.

That’s the bottom line to this sickening episode. A grieving family of a soldier who gave his life for his country. All disrespected by a man who has no business being Commander-in-Chief.

I feel so sorry for this family. Through no fault of their own, they can’t privately grieve their fallen loved one. It’s infuriating, disrespectful, and just plain wrong.

A couple of additional things:

Beauty thread and figure skating thread

I just finished watching Hidden Figures. It was as amazing as everyone said.

Those appliances should be set up with lights and a solenoid to pop the door linked to a motion detector. Shouldn’t be hard to make a kit to retrofit older models. Then this tragedy can’t happen again.

When you’re about to succumb to hypothermia you actually start to feel really hot. Which would explain why it looks like she was taking off her clothes

She’s such a class act - even in the way she deals with disgusting pigs trying to bully and coerce her into sex.

I just finished reading her piece. I am utterly and completely in awe of her self-possession.

and diapers?

right? it’s not craft service food. from the article itself - “set up a fake corner deli (in a neighborhood with little by way of grocery stores) and, at the conclusion of filming, pitched an entire fake-store’s worth of packaged food and household supplies into a dumpster.” Like they just dumped a 7-11 into the…

Seriously, a savvy social media manager or some such could turn this impending PR disaster into a positive if they got their ass in gear right now with something resembling your plan, perhaps alongside meaningful statements about how they fucked up by being wasteful in the first place. They could even drum up a…

You know there’s a big difference in turf between North Lawndale and Little Village, right? White folks can cross between the two easily, but it’s pretty segregated between blacks and Hispanics in those two neighborhoods.

This is reprehensible and I wonder if Lena even knew it happened. Showtime should be ashamed of itself for doing this.

In this case, it does sound like a lot of good food was wasted, but in general the “a charity would be happy to take it” attitude is bad. When I worked at a woman’s shelter people would call me constantly (i wasn’t the receptionist but the lowest level employee in marketing/fundraising/finance so the receptionist…

I’ve worked on cooking shows and I’ve done craft for big films. The food waste is absolutely appalling. I can go literally weeks without shopping because my fridge will be filled with beautiful, fresh, insanely expensive ingredients that would have otherwise been thrown out. As someone who is just beginning her career…

If Showtime’s was/is smart, they would try to rent that same store/spot, re-open it up and and have donations for the day/rest of the week/ till initial airing of show. Because, if the articles concerning this don’t start now, they sure will, once the show finally airs... with an additional trivia-bit included every…
