Conspiracy theorists are the intellectuals of the smooth brain set.

And it’s going to lead to *more* women giving birth unattended, not less.  If the idea is to be a deterrent, this just means women will be even more afraid of asking for help from medical professionals.  It proves she was right.

I disagree with the premise that pro-choice has to be so black-and white, or that choosing to have a child in a particular setting means you are now responsible for everything that transpires. That’s actually pretty absurd, honestly — no one is able to control everything, and in pregnancy much of what happens is actual…

I was just coming down here to say that it really sounds like San Diego district attorney Summer Stephan fuckin’ suuuuuuuuucks.  Manslaughter - sure, I can buy that. But trying to claim actual homicide? FOH, you over-reaching bags of shit.

This is tragic but seems like prosecutorial overreach charging it this way

“If a human identifies as anything other than a man/woman, please seek services at a local pet groomer,” Christine Geiger

Yes, yes, yes, and they think that no one will care. And we don’t care that Epstein got whacked or Nassar got shivved.

I was thinking the same thing! Honestly, my guess is it’s usually some combo of those factors, depending upon the inmate and their past history/current psychology.

And yes, I thought the same thing about Epstein. He could have done himself in, it could have been a hired hit, or another inmate could have offed him.…

I wonder about the psychology behind that. Is it because inmates think, “I’m bad but I’m not that bad.” Or does the presence of a predator bring up their own childhood trauma? Or do they enjoy violence and this is the only socially “acceptable” form of violence available to them? Like Dexter, IRL.

This guy next.

This is sort of why I don’t 100% believe that Epstein’s death was a hit to prevent him talking. To be clear: I mostly believe it was. But stuff like this happens pretty regularly. Serial killers who target children, child molesters, etc. are the most hated inmates and are often targets of attacks like this. This is…

I’m sure the “don’t sexualize the children” crown will be quick to denounce him. Obviously this is far, far worse than a drag show.

I loved that! I even said out loud to my screen, “YOU BETTER TAKE THAT FUCKING ORANGE” and she totally did and it made my day

I’m blown away by her acting every episode. Holy moly.

So my boyfriend has been watching this season with me. At first he was a little “meh” but this episode sealed the deal for him: even he had all the feelings.

I was barely holding it together until Louise asked to hold her. Jesus. I cried reading the book, but it was definitely an ugly cry watching it on screen. Catriona is amazing.

It is disillusioning. Last summer Allen’s movie was filming in my town and the make-up/hair trailers were parked right outside my house. High-school age me would have totally lost my shit being that close to famous people. But, as I tweeted that day, I can’t respect anyone who would work with a child molester, so I…

I also like the “it’s gotten very quiet in here” line. Calling out the cowardice of Hollywood.

You also can’t claim “Very few people who are old enough to remember the case in the early 90s believe Dylan” because there’s no accurate way to measure that. What can be said, however, is that, most often, when people have expressed doubt about Dylan’s story, it has been based on misinformation like you have here…

This is completely incorrect. The prosecutor in the case stated that there was probable cause to go ahead with charges, but Dylan was so fragile that he didn’t want to pursue them. Woody spent millions of dollars pursing his allegations that Dylan had been coached and he lost every time. This information is public…
