I actually liked Lebron James too. I thought he did really well.

They wanted to act , they were pretty and that helped. As you get older Hollywood finds you less pretty and maybe that makes the blow harder when you’ve always heard how gorgeous you are and things just came easily. We all get certain breaks in life due to circumstances bbeyond our control. Intelligence, privilege,…

It must be scary to see generations of evidence of a looming expiration date for ones career. I am so grateful to be an academic, where I am surrounded by the opposite: folks who work into their 80s. Of course, they are mostly men.

But that’s the problem with the system though, isn’t it? Police can coerce accusations the same way they can coerce confessions. It is not her fault and she feels incredible remorse. What more can we ask of her?

You are completely wrong. She isn’t to blame even a little bit. She was a traumatized victim who misidentified her attacker. She’s not responsible for the state putting away the wrong man.

Uhhh no. She misidentified her rapist after having the shit beat out of her (on top of being raped). She picked someone out of a lineup that didn’t include her rapist and the police lied to her afterwards. She’s not responsible for the alibis being ignored and how the justice system railroaded Avery there.

Completely off topic, but is Jezebel considering covering what happened in Cologne on New Year’s Eve? German Jezzies will know what I am talking about, not sure it has been covered outside of Germany yet.

I took it as her saying that she didn’t end up as a teen/very young mom, which absolutely can make it much more challenging to focus on your career.

I took it as she couldn’t be where she is today if she had had kids. Which is true. I think it was a statement about her career, personally - I don’t think she meant women can’t be successful if they have kids.

Reachingggggg.

No. Being proud of her own success - at her career and at not getting pregnant - is not an implied criticism of other women.

I’m glad she is publicly supporting PP.

Amen, sister. Almost 32 and still baby-free, thanks to my fear of penises as a teenager, and a free supply of slut pills as an adult. THANKS OBAMA.

Yes, how dare she, as a woman, be multi-dimensional and have multiple thoughts at once. shame.

Wait, was he cheating or just peeing and playing with his butt? Those are very different.

That would be good but it would be better if the “girl” was a dude.

Think Ricky’s “Get up” was a purposeful double entendre, or a happy accident?

Jerome Buting: Discount Billy West. ;)

Yes, I love them. Have you ever seen The Staircase? Same feelings I have for this guy:

The Colburn plates thing is so suspicious. But didn’t the Avery family agree to cooperate in the investigation at that point? If Colburn did find the car there, why wouldn’t he have just called it in?
