Cosby also miraculously recovered and didn’t seem to need any of his human seeing-eye dogs on the way out of the courthouse after the mistrial. The whole frailty thing was such bullshit.

Didn’t his lawyers try to halt the trial because he is going blind and he is frail? How quickly someone bounces back when there is a profit to be made.

I’ll be interested to see if the judge shuts this down, at minimum within the jurisdiction.

On the whole the idea seems insanely bad. This is already going to be a summer of protest, this will be just another opportunity. I’m not sure even if he sells tickets (I suspect most people won’t want him to get money), he’ll…

Gee, if only all of these women had had an opportunity to vote for a woman for president.

I went to get my IUD removed earlier this week because of how bad my acne has been since going off the pill, and my doc strongly suggested taking the pills on top of keeping the IUD, specifically referencing the likely future of healthcare as a reason to keep it.

Here’s the problem. Pro-life people will never support an IUD in they way that they *may* come around to other birth control. They think it’s a form of abortion. By not allowing the uterine lining to build up, you aren’t allowing a fertilized egg to attach (rather than prevent the egg from being fertilized) and thus,…

Beautifully written.

I mean, she clearly said “I spoke in English”, but yeah, still trash.

I’m a total curmudgeon when it comes to superhero movies. I did go see Wonder Woman yesterday and I thought Gal Gadot was great but I also was thinking the whole time about how much I hate that specific brand of action movie quips.

I think it’s the way that perpetual adolescent Ben Affleck’s holding his gun that’s not really a gun in this shot but am I only one looking at this and thinking “man, movies are soooooo silly nowadays”. Possible corollary, I have been independently called a curmudgeon on 3 separate occasions by 3 separate people in…

Yes Because Treudeau who isnt from ontario and doesn’t have a riding in Ontario clearly went back in time and helped raise this woman. Or perhaps he approached her right at the beginning of his time in office and brain washed her from a nice upstanding citizen who clearly had no racist tendencies until he took…

Three relevant bits of information:

It is not “stigma” to say that drugs (and the addiction to those drugs) can contribute to poor health and death. It’s simply the truth of the matter.

she did not die because she used (and sometimes abused) drugs.

Terrible story. Can’t even make a joke about people emerging from a cat:(

The gay sons of rich people got shipped off to France to rusticate. Actually not so bad since homosexuality was legal there.

Virginia Woolf’s On Being Ill and journals make clear that she had massive anxiety about the quality and lasting power of her work as compared to that of Joyce - to the point that one journal entry mentions that a glowing review of his work in The Criterion left her so anxious that she was confined to her bed for days.

I think there’s a huge difference between having your family member institutionalized because they do things try to burn down houses and attack other family members, and having a family member put away because she’s not scoring as high on her IQ tests as her brothers.

Also just a quick FYI (not to you but in general), the reason we today use the term Borderline Personality Disorder was because, in the past, it was considered borderline psychosis.

Seems to me like they actually tried everything they could to help her. James, at least.
