So what happens to the 16 year old who was distributing pornography?

Yeah, as I said on a Gawker thread, it’s concerning that Hillary has mostly been winning states that the Dems will never, ever win in a GE. There have been a couple articles (one in the NYT, another in Rolling Stone) that discuss how Midwestern union member would rather vote Trump than Clinton. I find that worrying…

He has a solid chance of winning. And he has enough money( some from me!) to continue on. Bernie can win.

For some reason when I think about Mario Lopez I’m like :/ but that tweet was spot on. :)

I think it’s worthwhile to be overambitious. I love Gaga, thought the Grammy’s performance was massively overstuffed, but I really appreciated the effort towards innovation, pushing the envelope, etc. Things would be so boring if *every* performance was a stripped-down, straightforward thing. I also love Lorde and I…

well, gaga’s was hell of a lot more theatrical and she also did multiple songs. one can like both. doesn’t have to be one or the other.

Kesha told a lawyer in late 2005 that Luke had raped her and that she had suffered other kinds of abuse. I think people would be more likely to believe her if they knew more of the history of this case.

Other pieces have been written, explaining that preliminary injunctions are rarely, rarely granted. The first Jezebel article failed to even use the word “preliminary”.

I’d just like to say, for the people who want to come in and blurt out crap about how Dr. Luke might be getting thrown under the bus and really is totally good guy- in the real world, if someone is sticking to her story about abuse for year after year after year, to the extent of putting money and lawyer time behind…

The “reflexive” support is largely based on Kesha’s story being like thousands of others we’ve all heard- there’s more than enough to believe Luke is a phenomenal pile of shit. When someone is lying about rape or abuse, those stories ring differently and have a tendency to fall apart sooner or later. So far the only…

This is, broadly, the point I’ve been making. I can’t blame the judge for the decision because the law probably required the contract be upheld based on whatever evidence was put into play, though that may well mean we have to work on the laws involved. But Sony is really the problem here. There is clearly no way…

I honestly don’t get what Sony’s end game is here. I understand their financial stake in this very successful producer, and in holding artists to contracts, but this is beyond messy. Are they hoping to permanently bar Kesha from making music and making her an example? Do they seriously think Kesha and Luke will have…

coerced into giving a false testimony.

Does the restaurant not have servers? Because unless the chef was serving them, this would hurt their server a lot more than it hurt him.

“But Bernie, bro, a lot of your followers are explicitly saying just that”

More “realistic”.

Only bad thing about it is if you start in the middle of the road, you still have to compromise to get it past the Republitards. So with Hillary’s $12, it may end up being $10 and for Bernie it may not be 15 but you can bet it will at-least be $12. You can’t start your position at an already compromised mindset, you…

It was a response to people claiming that he was running an openly sexist campaign, not an unbidden brag. Nobody’s looking for cookies.

I actually do see Hillary’s gender as a point in her favor—having more diversity represented in the most powerful positions in our government is a valid and important end in and of itself. It’s just that that one point is vastly outweighed, in my eyes, by all the points that go in Sanders’s favor when it comes to…

Team “oh for the love of god” checking in.
