Your understanding of defamation here is wrong- the defense does not just need to show Rebel has once in her life misled someone about her age. That is a different claim than Rebel being a constant and consistent liar.

Alright, I just went through this in a law exam, so let’s break it down. Calling someone a liar is defamatory, because most people would think less of someone for being a liar. The paper may have a defence of truth, for which they’ll have to prove that it is ‘substantially true’ that Rebel Wilson is a liar. That’s a…

Yeah that made me raise an eyebrow. I don’t know the organisation; if it’s just religiously affiliated, then, fine, I guess. But missionaries spreading colonialist bullshit and dangerous homophobic + misogynistic ideas in the developing world? That’s worked out great before...

We can agree to disagree ;-) (username checks out)

Yeah, I agree she didn’t handle it like a pro. On Untucked she seemed kind of dazed and shut down to me to, and even Nina was hugging her and trying to pull her out of it. I think she didn’t know the lyrics, but not because she hadn’t bothered learning them- I think she didn’t know her own name in that moment. Been…

I think Valentina was prepared, she just completely shut down. Which perhaps is a sign of being emotionally unprepared, but she didn’t come of as not knowing any of the lip synch words, more as just freezing.

They are SO much more common than you think. I know that doesn’t help practically, but you’re not at all alone. I haven’t had them myself, but narrowly missed them- I lived in a big shared house and two of the bedrooms got bedbugs. Satisfyingly, the bugs primarily targeted the awful abusive creep of the house, so my…

No advice, but had a similar situation each time I moved here in London- the timeline is even crazier, it can be tough to find somewhere more than a week ahead! Last time I moved I missed out on 6 places in a row before successfully sweet-talking an agent into letting me nab a place immediately after viewing. Only…

I am completely *shocked* by how legit the house beats are? The MJC comparison is very apt.

In London, that is hella rich. A one-bed flat in that area could go for £400k.

Hm I’m not sure where you got the negative story about London- it actually works really well here. Elderly people get offered seats very quickly anyways, but I live in fear of offering a seat to a woman who isn’t actually pregnant, and this solves that dilemma beautifully.

Came here for the Count Olaf references, was disappointed to see none.

First of all, fuck your ex, sounds like you definitely won the breakup! I would say it’s maybe too subtle for shade? A caption would probably push it towards shade. If, say, your ex was always bad at cooking (or something), and the caption was ‘Not only is he the love of my life, but he made me pancakes today!’

Nah, it’s not wittily done, it’s just wrong- grammar mistakes, translating stuff literally. They definitely just plugged it into Google, haha.

This is a terrible idea, but I can confirm that, having slept (okay, passed out) in their foundation several times, that shit will still look great in the morning.

Uhhh wut? It refers to ‘James Codey’, says he was ‘ended’, literally translated the name Sessions instead of sounding it out, and describes the FBI as a ‘respectable and respectable’ institution. It’s a brilliant joke but they 100% used Google Translate without getting a Russian to check over it. (Source: I actually…

This is only UK-relevant, but the Rosie for Autograph line at M&S. Relatively cheap, lasts ages, everything is sexy but not uncomfortable, and regularly updates their colour and design selections.

Agreed, and also, get it, girl!

To be fair, one post is light-heartedly complimentary and one post is ruthlessly snarky, so it averages out.

I think it’s too on-the-nose to be shade, but I still love this. “I’m just too zen and busy making the world a better place” implies that Taylor is petty, childish, and more focused on her feuds than the real issues out there. Which, sure, she is- just like Katy herself, but she’s framed the contrast beautifully.
