while this is true, it’s also true that widespread publicity can complicate efforts to try a case, and if witnesses get involved in publicizing the case their testimony can be impeached on the basis they created a financial entanglement and a motive to want a specific outcome of the trial.  However usually these…

White....check

Just so we’re clear - assaulting people and putting them in the hospital is fine as long as no one actually dies? That’s the measuring stick now?

When will we point out that the real issue is with people attempting to make side work their FT job? Instead of blaming all these side gig app companies maybe point out that none were ever set up to replace FT work, but to literally be a side gig to make extra money.

Misogyny exists therefore women are free from the responsibility of adult life. I think it’s called, “Empowerment”. 

“.....offered thousands of dollars to appear in adult films, while being promised that the resulting videos would not be distributed online or in the United States.”

Biased by design = exactly right. They are pissed that Uber won’t provide them with the details, so the best revenge (I guess) is to embarrass Uber. This isn’t reporting: this is someone with an axe to grind. 

My neighbor who is a Texas State Trooper was talking to me about this.  Apparently the drivers (Uber) text each other (imagine a large group text thread) and they all sit at DFW airport and close their apps to make it look like there aren’t any drivers in the area, then one by one they turn on the app and get to…

No no no...They will get receipts from drivers who are making good money, but when they go to write the article, they will not show them. It’s called a bias. It is all the rage in the media these days.

If you’re looking for people that have been screwed, announce it in a series of posts, make sure you’re looking for people that have been screwed, of course you’ll get those people.

So these dancers are making $130,000 to $260,000 a year according to this article in all cash. Assuming they don’t make any more on the side, they are in the 35% tax bracket before deductions. So lets say they make the max, that’s $91,000 they owe to Uncle Sam. I am pretty sure they are not paying their fair share of…

Ok my hockey knowledge might be a little off here, are the Maple Leafs essentially the Knicks of the NHL or is that going too far ?

Kawhi responded to questions about perceived delays in his decision-making by saying “making my decision about a free agency destination is certainly on my to-do list. However, dropping an Amazon return at the UPS store and stopping by Kohl’s for a new pack of socks come first on the list, and once you start going…

Cry me a river. Give back all your money, all your fame, all your fortune and lipstick, and you can own all of your shitty music again. Who the hell told you to sell it in the first place. You got what you asked for, you get what you deserve.

Sure, but they lose on way more artists than they profit from. This model allows labels to be more adventurous in terms of who they sign and promote, turning over more equity to new and unproven acts would elevate the barriers to entry to joining a label's roster. And as you mentioned artists that can recoup their…

In 20 years she’ll regret wasting money on her own music.

I think that Swift was able to sign a new deal that gives her ownership of her product is fair, as she has proven her market value, but I don’t think it’s unfair that new artists don’t typically own their masters. As long as they rely on labels to make heavy initial outlays in marketing and distribution the deal isn’t…

Fat Bottom Girls was written by Brian May who is straight.

Knowledge that being someone’s daughter isn’t a career qualification is probably why Chelsea Clinton went out and got an undergrad degree from Stanford and then a masters and doctorate from Oxford and another masters from Columbia.

There’s little need to point out that North Korea is essentially a giant prison camp of a country.
