“I don’t let myself off the hook. I don’t find parts in any of this that makes me feel the slightest bit good about myself,” she said during the hearing.

I mean, most people know by the age of 19 that brutally murdering people is wrong. She has complete culpability for her own actions here. I could understand granting parole if she had just guarded the door while someone else did the actual killing, but she participated actively and willingly.

Celebs like to get bespoke designer cracks in their phone screens. I’m betting Taylor’s screen was specially cracked by Gucci or some shit.

Hence her certainty that playing “y u hurt me again, loud black man?” would only serve to make her even stronger.

Hateful? It has honest. It was like Charlton Heston getting up on stage and screaming “Soylent Green is people!” and everyone is so mad at him. And then years later when Taylor gets caught on camera saying, “I’m Soylent green and I’m made of people,” you go and get mad at Charlton Heston again.

There have been rumors for a long time that Taylor is a secret mean girl. Although I have loved her and didn't believe it, I have a feeling her cover is about to get blown. Lying, cheating, manipulating. It isn't looking good for TayTay.

Thank you for your post, JE Reich! I do appreciate your having taken the time to read the comments, and to respond so thoroughly.

Eleven police officers have been shot in Dallas, and four killed. It is good and right for Jezebel to cover the shooting deaths of persons of colour by police in detail: that they receive personal, detailed attention in the media that they were denied in life. And yet I think that the deaths of these police officers…
