How many unarmed black people did PPB murder last year?

A challenge for the show is that our anti-immigrant rhetoric is already so over the top that there’s little room for the anti-mutant stuff to be worse. What’s Montez going to say that Cotton hasn’t?

“Look, Donnie, I know that we asked for bombs from your country so we can inflict incredible human suffering, but this is too much!”

“Well, he’s an infidel, but his heart’s in the right place.”

“Feeling really pressured” doesn’t typically amount to coercion, legally.

Weinstein also raped several actresses. It wasn’t just harassment and unwanted advances.

I’m just imagining that Coogler is secretly a republican. Like T’Challa ends up getting advice from a wise old man that’s clearly an amalgam of Ben Carson and Clarence Thomas. Bill Cosby and David Clarke have cameos. T’Challa beats Killmonger because Killmonger’s pants were sagging, which gave T’Challa a tactical…

A Hawkeye and Hawkguy movie would be fun though.

It is possible that the very same press that’s worked up about women getting underpaid would also get mad at Williams for the totally reasonable demand to get paid for doing extra work (assuming the original contract didn’t cover reshoots). In which case, I hope everyone would tell the press to fuck itself.

He did extra work. He should ask for extra money. I can’t figure out why anyone would do extra work for free, unless it’s for a charity. It’s not like a movie about the fucking Getty family is a charity.

Better agents won’t solve sexism. However, actresses working for free while some dude gets paid a million dollars is a much easier problem to solve, and can be solved with better agents.

I’d like to meet the genius lawyer who thinks admitting to the facts hurts legally less than apologizing.

I’m surprised pre-sales are that high already. I just checked fandango and there’s tons of seats available in Portland.

There’s no conceivable cause of action here. There’s no cause of action for causing offense. There’s no cause of action for using slurs, except in an employment context. And if there were facts to support a cause of action, the wording of an apology wouldn’t matter. (E.g., if there was also enough to support…

The fiction that you can pay these things back is foundational to our legal system. I would go so far as to say it’s an important part of society itself: wrongdoers owe a debt, and that debt is payable, even though (in the case of murder) the payment may be death.

Then our options are to either act as if that satisfies the perpetrator’s debt or build a time machine. (Collaterally, there should be more support than there generally is for victims, but that’s orthogonal to how a wrongdoer can undo the harms of his actions).

If it’s a tort, you give the victim money. If it’s a crime, you spend some period of time in confinement/ probation.

Hazy, equivocal answers won’t cut it, but hazy, equivocal allegations will.

How many camel handlers are there in London?

I can see why the far right would lose it over Oprah. She went out there and gave a speech that showed a firm grasp on policy and presented a coherent, inspiring, leftist vision of the world. I almost cried when she talked about Medicare for all and finally withdrawing US troops from Iraq and Afghanistan.
