I can’t see how a prosecutor could ever say they’ve made a final determination to not charge. A new prosecutor could always revisit that decision, as long as there is still time under the statute of limitations. Cosby’s lawyers took a risk by letting him testify at the deposition. Thankfully, they lost that bet.

He’s really salty about losing his election. Too bad. So sad.

Killer Vaginas on the Moon would be a good band name, but I’m not musical.

Wow. This almost never happens. Have a good weekend.

Why do I care? I care because I don’t like it when people second guess a victim’s choices. Because it discourages people from coming forward and fosters a culture where bad behavior thrives.

You: She should have talked to Cross privately.

Jackie Kashian! Not nearly enough people know her. She’s great!

There’s no way Mike Birbiglia is an asshole either, but you are probably right about the rest.

Maybe he needs a link.

Hint: You sound really worried about the white guy’s reputation.

You sound really worked up about this. Why do you care so much if she wants to tell the truth about something that happened to her? What’s your stake in it?

For me the writing was mostly fine, but I found a lot of scenes to be very male gazey. A lot of dressing and undressing for the camera.

By minimizing the harm of racist remarks, you are excusing him. By questioning her decision to go public, you are providing shelter for him and every racist loudmouth in the future.

Why shouldn’t she talk about it publicly if she wants? Aren’t people constantly harping on women to report abuse?

I agree more women should sue in civil court, but also that would just feed the “lying to get money” slander campaigns.

You can report a crime even if the victim doesn’t, but whether you should without the victim’s consent is another issue. For a prosecutor to get a conviction, they need a first-hand account from a witness, ie. the victim or another eye witness.

The guy who wrote Things to Do in Denver and something else. I think his name might be Scott Katzenberg but probably not and I’m too lazy to look it up.

This is what you said:

One can pursue both criminal and civil actions. One action does not preclude the other.

It’s hard to find a trustworthy news source on what happened.
