Plus her TV show was really, really good. A lot better than I was expecting that’s for sure.

Just an FYI, but homicide rate is a better metric than “leading cause of death”. As a paradoxical as it may seem, homicide *should* be one of the leading causes of death age 20-44, because people age 20-44 should generally not be dying by natural causes which in turn boosts homicide and accident percentages.

Prosecutors always like to use the excuse that sexual assault is a he-said she-said, which makes it difficult to prove. But one of the cases in the NYT article involved a video that at least one witness besides the victim saw, a recorded confession made by the rapist to a friend, and multiple other women who claimed…

Because they are. Between the fact that cops will constantly question the way a victim dresses, why they let it happened, etc. as well as hearing horror stories about how district attorneys try to talk some victims out of pressing charges to keep fucking crime rates down in certain circumstances (ex: keeping property…

It has to be better than the virtual prison she’s been forced to live in for more than a decade. Her parents and siblings have been living off her earnings since she was a child. I’m optimistic that going forward she will surround herself with people who are truly supportive of her and don’t just view her as their…

In a perfect world all those complicit assholes that were supposed to be working in her best interest will now be forced to get permission to do basic things. Fuck all those people. Can’t wait to see Britney’s rebirth. 

It’s Christian Bale in yet another transformative role! There’s NOTHING he won’t do for a part! Not only will he be bringing his star power to this version of Sex & the City, he will be performing the whole role using his Batman voice! It’s going to be UH-MAY-ZING.

She might’ve lucked out in the details of the case, but they previously showed her getting a really good lsat score, answering questions well in class, holding her own in a study group of intelligent peers, and earning a prestigious fellowship. She studies a lot and works hard, but that’s how smart people get smart,…

I won’t come at you because 1) you asked a legitimate question with honest intentions and 2) I’m the only person I know who hated American Beauty. (I suspect it’s one of those movies you claim to love so you’ll sound smart.)

I’m not going to shell you (lol) but I am going to offer a different perspective. I was 10 when this came out and watched it again recently. The ol’ girl holds up mostly because of how women are portrayed in the films you cited. At the time this was released the P!nk “Stupid Girls” vs. Lindsay, Paris, Britney thing…

Well, did you actually read the article, because it lays it out pretty clearly - maybe respond to that? In short, she starts out being motivated to get a man, and then learns and grows and ends up doing what she’s doing for her. It is entirely feminist. I don’t know why starting with un-feminist motivations but…

Yeah try teaching someone with dementia complicated choreography.

It’s possible that she does have a mental illness that impacts her. But to be clear, a conservatorship is still not appropriate, especially when her father (or someone working for him) indicated she had dementia to be granted the conservatorship. And I have serious doubts that someone who supposedly has dementia being…

“Please identify the judge who ‘joked’ with her conservator that he shouldn’t tell her what her rights are. Call these fuckers out.”

“Well, that’s the thing - conservatorships are ‘voluntary’ in that the person under it needs to sign something agreeing to it”

1) Please identify the judge who ‘joked’ with her conservator that he shouldn’t tell her what her rights are. Call these fuckers out.

the company maintained that it was under the impression that the conservatorship was voluntary until Spears’s testimony.

We all know the lawyer is only quitting because her testimony was pretty damning against him. I only hope Britney’s situation sheds a light on , and that people keep this energy for, the abuses that happen all to often to people with disabilities. Varying degrees of guardianship can be positive, but there needs to be…

Me too me too!

So, am I reading this right? All these important men (lawyer, manager, that fabulous father of hers) have just been collecting money and not working on her behalf? Now that their fuckery has been exposed, they’re resigning? And why did I read somewhere that despite collecting thousands of dollars a month from his…
