I feel for the families, and of course they would like to see this resolved as soon as possible and have this guy thrown in jail for the rest of his life but the end of the day this isn’t about them? If the guy has a right to forgo a speedy trial and both prosecution and defense are ok with it, that’s all that…

My social media is full of selfies where I don’t look like I want to die and I absolutely do in every single one of them, no matter how outwardly happy I may look.

We know pictures of “smiling” doesn’t mean shit, most people smile in the faces of people they despise on a daily basis. The fact that her PR has only been…

In any compromise between good & evil, only evil benefits.

It’s fun how meeting in the middle actually just means conceding to the right wing. Sort of like how being an independent of the “centrist” variety is just a euphemism for enabling that right wing.

Yeah, make the appellate court’s job super-easy by citing something applicable only to criminal sentences in this civil matter.

Silver lining - I guess that’s one child safe from the Catholic church

No one is asking Tim McGraw to make a statement even though he played the husband who is just as a greedy and awful.

Oh, thank God, what a relief. I was worried someone might make the argument guns are used impulsively. But apparently he could have murdered his wife with a chair, while his adult son sat by and watched, I guess? Fortunately it didn’t come to that.

The problem is that most people aren’t anti-abortion fanatics. Even people I know that wouldn’t personally consider having an abortion still think it should be freely accessible for others. This is going to keep happening because the people that actually want abortion outlawed are just a vocal minority.

You try driving with 5" lifts in your heeled ankle boots.

Every time I read an article that quotes her, I first think, “Well, she’s pretty young, isn’t she? She’ll probably mature a little and think differently. What is she, like twenty-two, twenty-three, something like that?” And then I head over to Wikipedia to be reminded that, no, she’s actually thirty-five.

Every Musk plan starts with a big announcement, then an update, then quietness, then a casual excuse while saying everything is right on track, and and then it gets shit-canned because he’s had a better plan that will supersede the original, and then there’s nothing.

I agree. The whole “you knew what you were getting into” thing could be used against literally every employment issue there’s ever been. You don’t have to be friends with the people on this lawsuit. You don’t have to watch their shows. But just because you don’t want to be friends with them or don’t watch their show…

Man, the amount of people in these comments that are willing to write off a huge group of people just because they want some spotlight is really gross. I find it strange that people seem to have no problem empathizing with SAG strikers but are fine with a group of performers who have less protections and are often…

I’ve been on a popular reality TV show (not the networks mentioned) and had a similar experience. Crew would show up reeking of alcohol from the night before, and would often make lewd comments toward the cast. Post-show, one of the producers started texting me about how big his dick was. I never complained for fear…

Nah, it’s funny because it’s a cop. I see parents eat it on slides occasionally, and it never elicits more than some sympathetic winces. An armed Enforcer of The Law just blasting down a slide with no children evident is funny because it takes cops’ flopping to pretend that their jobs are especially dangerous and lays…

Sorry you can’t handle a little thought bro. You’re free to focus on the dumb aspects and ignore any deeper meaning others might find, but other people are allowed to think and connect even a light-hearted thing to broader societal issues, and there is often utility in doing that, even if not everyone wants to…

I think this article has it a bit confused. He didn’t pay her bail. Apparently, she was being held without a bail amount being set (risk of flight inherent in a wealthy suspect who flies by private jet can justify being held without bond/bail), she filed a motion to ask that a bail amount be set, and the prosecutor…

The best interpretation here is that Lizzo thought her dancers were are friends. I know nothing of Lizzo beyond good as hell and her brand. Sounds to me she thought she had a posse of friends, not employees. I can see how these allegations could be a girls night out gone wild with Lizzo believing she was creating a…

Great to live in a world where legislative priorities are determined by Twitter trending topics.
