This always seems to be the case in these situations.  Everyone knows and no one says anything.  By the time it’s already gotten this bad, the perp doesn’t usually really care if anyone knows.

He just doesn’t want to commit to a particular strategy publicly before the case even starts. I’m sure they will seek more time, that’s obvious, but no need to tip off your opponents to your plans by announcing them to the media. He also probably wants to appear like he’s open to being persuaded to be more lenient,…

There’s definitely a branch of the fuckers who are really into Norse-style neopaganism, which is one of the reasons I found it kinda delightful that Waititi turned the MCU Asgardians into Space Jews at the end of Ragnarok.

I read a story shortly after the trial where a journalist spent a couple of days in Simpson’s company to interview him about the whole thing. (Sample creepy quote from OJ: “Girl, we are going to have fun this weekend!”) One moment that sticks with me is OJ and the journalist having lunch at a cafe and two young women…

Nope, no parallels to current times that I can find in that.

I hate the term “middlebrow”, I prefer “middle-falutin’”.

With Democrats like these...

“And let me say this to you — I thank God for slavery … If it wasn’t for slavery, I might be somewhere in Africa, worshipping a tree,” Daniels once told her congregation, according to reports.

I’m constantly reminded why I’m glad to be from California. 

 Well, you know, lots of kids now pray in school.  So I guess it makes sense.  I mean they are praying not to get shot.  But still.

But Warren, now a frontrunner, will have to come up with a better answer to the question of how to pay for Medicare for All

Based on the numbers someone posted above for a full-time writing position at the Daily Beast, that’s plausible; those are averages, so there’s a solid chance that she’s making less than posted, so let’s say $4-5000/month, and if she was doing side jobs in addition to her full-time job, then she could have been…

I think it’s more like an attempt at gallows humor; equal parts horrifying and hilarious. 

Good for her but no one should have to do this.

There appear to be a lot of details missing from this story, but I think both are true: jokes were made at her expense AND they were friends.

Farrow was on staff at NBC news. They spiked his Weinstein story so he took it to the New Yorker.

They refused to air/publish his Weinstein expose, even after it passed initial legal review, so he resigned in protest.

Ronan Farrow has position, power, money, fame, and resources... and he still BARELY got the news of a verifiable monster out to the public.  It’s chilling to consider how many Weinsteins are out there who are not being chased by a journalist in a position to catch them.

Speaking as a Chinese I simply don’t care when people gets costumed as a Chinese fictional character nor do I care when black people cosplay as anime characters that are supposed to be Asian. It only annoys me when people get costumed with the solely purpose of having the appearance of an Asian.

While Livanart is dressed as a black character with black skin, she hasn’t applied make-up or paint; her transformation into Pyke is achieved through the wearing of a prosthetic suit. Critics see this as a loophole, and that the same intent as blackface—to alter your skin colour to match that of a black person, a…
