Does you wedding reception start after 6:00 p.m.? Black Tie.

It’s too bad Amy K has to worry about being perceived as “mean,” because she would crush Biden with dementia zingers all night long if she could.

Probable cause for what? “Probable cause” is a term of art that defines whether police have legal grounds to arrest you as a suspect of a crime. There was ample probable cause here: Bailey matched the description down to the facial hair, was with the accomplice who also matched the description and was sprinting away

Appreciate it.

I suspect that the kid was fleeing to avoid being found with the gun (and thus charged with the aggravated robbery). Which, if you discount the risk of being brutally shot by police, is a rational choice. In most jurisdictions, running from the police is a misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor, whereas

“Milaski seems to be another beneficiary of an epidemic of Brock Turner Syndrome, in which clean-cut white boys are given lenient sentences by judges who would hate to ruin a promising future.”

He wasn’t being sentenced. He hasn’t been tried or entered a plea. This was just a question of his bail. It’s obvious even in

Like any non-lunatic, I also vehemently disapprove of shooting suspects who flee from police.

36 fatal dog attacks in the United States 2018. Pit bulls contributed to 72% (26) of these deaths — over 8 times more than the next closest breed. Pit Bulls killed 14,850 other pet dogs in the United States in 2018; which accounts for 86% of all dog deaths by other dogs.

The Laws of Kinja require me to give you this star, but I hate myself for it.

This is a fantastic piece.
I realize it’s folly to project my viewpoint onto other heterosexual men, but I will anyway: I was flat-out amazed at how little she made, and my immediate reaction was to blame unfair tube-site economics.
I hoped that the sex-positive movement and (what I perceived to be) increasing

Does anyone simply disbelieve this claim? At the peak of her fame, a lawsuit regarding these events might have yielded a reasonably large settlement for this fellow. Perry’s “people” had no mechanism to “bar” him from publicly discussing this incident or anything else about Katy Perry.
This all just sounds like

I can’t hand-write. I mean, I can make squiggles that vaguely look like letters, but I can’t legibly write unless I’m tracing over words I’ve typed and printed. My signature never matches, no matter how hard I try.  If I had to write a two-sentence note, and my life depended on the reader understanding it, I would die.

Maybe you can “feel it,” but that sort of logic lead millions of baby boomers to vote for Trump. They “felt” that he “tells it like it is.”
Many Americans understandably find the fact that Sanders has never achieved any meaningful policy initiatives, ever, and that the fact that he was a failure at almost everything

I suspect the primary risk of lucid dreaming is that non-falsifiable pseudoscience can be addicting, and the lucid dreamer may soon find themselves studying Dianetics, crystal healing, ear candling, zang-fu and Reiki.

If Madison Bumgarner could throw a baseball as hard as this dude throws a tennis racket, he wouldn’t have to retrieve home runs from the ocean.

We’re all fat.  Don’t eat doughnuts.

The officer had no reason to deploy either of his weapons, arrest warrants be damned. 
An arrest warrant requires the Officer to arrest her, so he had to act. But if he wasn’t confident that she would surrender (and in the video, it’s clear surrender is far from her mind) he should have called and waited for back-up.

I have been greatly pleased by the increasingly feminist angles of Marvel movies since Ike Perlmutter was cut out by Bob Iger after Age of Ultron.
But that being said, most of the explanations from the filmmakers that you quote in this article feel legitimate to me. I respectfully offer these counterpoints to your

His lifetime of being “right” has yielded no legislative success. “How” to achieve a policy goal matters as much as “why” the policy is “right.”

You are the Republican Party of internet scolds.  Humorless, tone-deaf and willing use absolutely anything as an excuse to stoke angry division.

Insurance companies are foolish not to cover these, bruxism can, in severe cases, invade and destroy every aspect of your life like a tentacle monster.
