You are so British, and pregnant, and great.

So took two pregnancy test today and I’m up the duff! It’s our first and we are chuffed, especially because we have had a tough time trying to conceive. Just so excited, had to share with someone (all of you!)

Leaving a longterm relationship were you own a house, property, joint bank account together when you aren’t married, is messy as hell. I saw lots of times among unmarried gay friends in the past. Sometimes a divorce is “cleaner”

There’s a big difference between “WILL be ok” and “is already and will remain just peachy, totally unaffected, and able to blithely continue on a completely unaltered life path”.

Bail has one purpose, to assure that the accused will show up for the actual trial. It can also be used if there is a chance the person will commit more crimes if released. He hasn’t been convicted of anything, yet. I don’t .have a problem with a sister believing in her brother being innocent, especially since right…

You can do that and still pay for the attorney and cover bail. She is not paying a private eye to dig up dirt on the kids family or paying them hush money. She’s just covering the basics.

Unless I absolutely knew my family member acted on an atrocity and I was disgusted by the act, the family member was sketchy and likely to skipout, or just I hated them, I would bail them out if I had the means. Sitting in jail doesn’t really help the family member or the accuser’s case or the courts. Still have to go…

I watched Hot Girls Only after that article, what it showed is not anywhere near as horrible as this story. That doc was more about how the girls were young and naive on how far porn would take them into “making it” than outright abuse. Also the “amateur porn” genre featured in the doc is way more popular than this…

That’s sort of an oddly gleeful approach? I get your meaning, but let’s try not to feel vindicated that multiple women were abused and assaulted...

Indeed. That article pissed me off because a large part of it was devoted to “exposing” that one of the girls featured in the film who claimed she was done with porn was actually still an active performer. The author went to great lengths to do some digging to finally unearth this “gotcha” moment that felt incredibly…

A few months ago, there was a really strong and strange (to me) critique of the movie Hot Girls Wanted for shining a light on an aspect of the porn industry that is very woman un-friendly. The article read to me like it was accusing the documentary producers of taking a hardline, anti-porn stand, which I don’t think…

“The commenters outside looked from feminist to troll, and from troll to feminist, and from feminist to troll again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.”

I agree with your post, but I have one little nit to pick: The 3/5 compromise didn’t have anything to do with voting rights, it was about how to count slaves on the census for purposes of taxation and congressional representatives. But other than that you’re spot on.

The motives are sometimes blended for these lone-wolf actors. ISIS and AQ might not directly plan these attacks, but their social media campaigns intentionally try to stir them up.

Your post is reflective of the fact that these killings have become a political circus these days. Everyone just wants to make sure it helps their team instead of figuring out how to stop it from happening again.

Unfortunately you’re right. Everyone seems to have a horse in the race to find out who the killers are, which is fucking stupid.

Cannot comprehend what sort of motive makes you leave your infant daughter with her grandmother and then saddle her with the legacy of your heinous acts.

It would be nice if the Daily Beast had 1. Double checked that they had the right person before printing his picture and HOME ADDRESS; 2. Issued an actual correction to the story and not just rolling updates and a twitter apology; 3. Acknowledged that Wonkette noticed their error and tried to get them to change it for…

Probably getting the same boner everyone on Gawker got when they thought it was crazy white christians.

Politics aside, I really want to know what his/their motive was. If this isn’t classic right-wing narrative Islamic terrorism*, then it sounds blended really weirdly with the classic 1990s narrative of going postal.
