Including Lindbergh!

We literally had American versions of Nazi Youth camps. It’s amazing how tolerant America has always been of such views.

It’s absolutely bizarre. They made this genuinely thinking it was going to be a gamechanger. I wonder how many of the actual talented people (Dame Dench, Sir Ian, Idris) are going to regret being in this. 

it literally looks like the whole thing was done with a snapchat filter

We should start a club! I just learned that today in my late 30s and I am also shocked!

I’m stealing “breathtaking inanity” for use in my everyday life. 

Me: <shoots [redacted]>

I absolutely adore snarky legalese. I read a particularly satisfying ruling not too long ago - I think it was the Nassar case (I LOVED that judge) - and legitimately laughed out loud at several points.

Good for her! 

Marketing research found the original tagline “Where’s Your God Now?” didn’t test well.

I was just about to edit to say, “unless your ‘rug’ is one of those transparent mats ...”

I mean, that DOES explain how every depiction of slavery I’ve read or watched in TV/film has mostly dialogue that goes “Hey! Get over here, PERSON! I will whup your PERSON ASS if you don’t get back to work! Goddam PEOPLE!”

Sometimes also the control. This is still an inherently sexist country - and law is a tool; it can be an instrument of justice or of oppression — and look how many lives they got to ruin.

some of that underrepresentation is probably sexism not allowing for victims to speak up, yes, but I want to reiterate that most sexual predators are men (which still supports your argument that sexism is the root, but in a different way).

Also if people need a cutesy version we could bring back the 18th century slang from cunt “cunny”

Plus, the “innocent women” is usually pretty racially coded; WOC never get the benefit of a doubt that a white woman like Maxwell does.

Yeeeeeeeeeep, I’d reached the same conclusion by the end of the article. They’ve already got this lady measured for a fridge.

Sort of a meta-take on Cannibal Holocaust?

It’s like a 70's couch is telling me to deal with it.

I was reading about the General Slocum disaster and was struck by how similar the anti-German rhetoric was to what we hear today. They won’t learn English, they won’t assimilate, they bring crime. It’s always been the same song, the beat has just changed over the years.
