Maybe, because if they have a handmaiden that likely means the wife is infertile, in which case they shouldn’t be sleeping together (but of course there is never any mention of the men being infertile!)? But it’s also so backwards that Fred was the one who accused her of bringing lust into the house because, unlike…

Ok, yup, that makes sense. Hence the comment from Eden (the child bride) about lust being a sin. Maybe I just assumed all the wives were infertile for some reason!

“there’s nothing in the Gileadean law that prohibits a man from procreating with his actual wife”

This show has become so hard to watch, there is so much misery, and seemingly no hope. I do love the flashbacks, and seeing more of how Gilead actually came to be- I find it fascinating and can see some parallels between that world and ours.

There, fixed the headline for you.

I don’t have the icon either... and my phone is updated....

When she was being interviewed, a reporter pointed out that she had sent 65k messages, and her reply was “that’s it? I feel like I sent so many more”.

This story was on the radio this morning and they had audio of her being interviewed by reporters outside of the jail (which was...weird. Is that a thing in AZ?). She is legitimately bonkers, and really believed if she just kept trying that this man would see that they were meant to be together.

You are most welcome! I worked for four different retailers during my time in the trenches, and racial profiling was never part of any of the loss prevention training I received but, if it were, we would have been instructed to profile the white women with baby carriages (and in the interest of disclosure, I am…

“Elderly white woman” is absolutely the asshole in this situation, but I don’t agree that the outrage at Nordstrom is overblown. The majority of loss prevention policies have a set of steps that must be taken before a suspected shoplifter can/should be confronted- they need to see the person enter the store, see them…

They can have all the “reasonable” suspicions they want, but absent actually witnessing theft, there was ZERO justification for calling the police. Retail stores have a very specific protocol regarding how to deal with a shoplifters, that is in place to prevent them from being sued for this very thing.

Is there a sign on my front lawn that says “dead Titan storage”?

Oh, he can absolutely appeal, and I’m sure he will. This isn’t the end of it. I wouldn’t be surprised if he dies while this case is appealed and retried- the legal proceedings will likely drag on for several more years, and then once he’s gone the victims will sue his estate (and I hope they get all his money, because…

The time to enter an insanity plea has come and gone, and I can tell you that there is virtually no chance a jury would have bought that defense.

I agree and was really put off by this review. While this show is sometimes hard to watch, it is hardly “torture porn”.

It’s truly amazing how beautifully this article is written given the utterly horrifying subject matter. I can’t even begin to imagine what it must have been like to sit in that courtroom and watch all of this unfold.

I thought the same thing about the weakness, and I also loved this movie.

I just wonder why a woman as smart as Oxman would even want to spend time with a recovering drunk who has six kids.

She came back from leave and was fired, therefore, at face value, her company is in violation of federal law.

Right, it doesn’t have to be the exact same job, but it can’t be a demotion.
