“Everyone in prisons says that, of course”

That article specifically names and calls out Frank Sedita, who was the DA for a long time and is now a judge, the prosecuting attorney Chris Belling, jury member Carl Krahling, trial Judge Michael D’Amico, U.S. magistrate Victor Bianchi, who upheld the conviction, and also calls out Andrew Cuomo for taking no action…

Grassley wanted her sat at the same table next to her [ED: would-be] rapist while these dudes hold his wittle hand and pick her apart with their standard-issue mock incredulity. Maybe Biden should be there to do his scoffing routine, too.

It’s the FBI’s job to investigate Kavanaugh. It’s why they’ve been handling his background checks for the federal judiciary throughout his career. This letter wasn’t part of his background file until Ford publicly disclosed her identity. Now that it is, they can investigate the claims. And they should. The FBI is…

I posted this elsewhere but I’m reposting it here because it bears repeating:

Thanks, Ashley. I’ve been circling this idea for a long time, but could never quite articulate the specific grossness of it.

I think of all of this, the thing that astonishes me the most is that they’re willing to go to these lengths to defend Brett fucking Kavanaugh. Like, seriously, GOP, throw a rock at any gathering of lawyers and you are likely to find someone just as conservative, just as unprincipled, and probably twice as qualified.…

The most baffling thing I find about the “good boy who made mistakes” take is that it can somehow exist alongside the “if she’s telling the truth, why didn’t she go to the police?” takes.

Watched (and rewatched) the latest season of Voltron. I don’t know how this show keeps outdoing itself with each season, but it does. Episode 5 was honestly one of the most excellent episodes of television I’ve watched in a long while.

Yeah, remember how accusing someone of being a communist would cause them to lose their job in entertainment and commit suicide just ten years earlier than this?

Man oh man I love this movie.  I wish the third film had taken us further towards resolution than a detour that mostly rehashes the first film.

My fondness for this movie and Jupiter Ascending made me realize I have a weakness for goofy space opera with high production values.

Seriously. Unless the ex is explicit about wanting you to keep an heirloom, you give it back. Enter the value in the splitting of assets, but give the heirloom back.

People who don’t give back gifted family heirlooms are trash. Grandma’s wedding ring? Give it back. Late dad’s guitar? That shit was never meant to be yours, do the right thing!

It’s really such a dick move to keep someone’s dead dad’s guitar, I honestly can’t believe it.

This is a riff on a famous (audiology famous, not actually famous) experiment called the Kalba Sound, which inputs a subliminal message behind the actual sound to make you think you are hearing something that you are not. So all you dummies are listening to this over and over again, while someone inserted a subliminal…

That shit switched from Yanny to Laurel on me and now I’m bugging out. FUCK YOU VERY MUCH, PATRICK.

No mention of Margot Kidder’s death? RIP, the definitive Lois Lane.
