I also got that she was “dressed like a slut” and it was “inappropriate for children”. People are so fucking afraid of a woman with thighs, I swear to god....

Moments like this I realise I live in a very sheltered liberal bubble. Maybe it’s living in NYC but I don’t know a single person who got offended or felt threatened by Beyonce’s video. Also, who the hell are these people? The video and song are catchy and yeah the political elements are there but they’re pretty light…

Now Now. They weren’t upset because she was BLACK. They were upset because it was disrespectful to the SOLDIERS. Because se should have used that time to pay tribute to the AMERICAN SOLDIERS. That’s what the Superbowl half-time is all about right?

good lord that impression is spot on.

I loved “Rachel from Friends” on Weekend Update.

This is a perfect representation of all my republican family member’s Facebook feeds the day after the superbowl.

The fact that it was barely satire tho.

It’s amazing and sad that this is basically an accurate representation of what happened when that video dropped.

I’ve always maintained a few thoughts on this case:

from what i remember, there was a snowstorm and they were off school the next day, which is why she remembered when it first happened. the defense knew about her when it first went to trial, so it’s not like 20 years later shes like ‘oh yeah i def saw him guys!!’ out of the blue. she remembered when adnan was arrested…

IIRC, it was in the library right after school, she was waiting for her boyfriend to pick her up, they got into a huge argument, and there was a snowstorm that night that closed the school for two days. As soon as she heard that Adnan was arrested, she contacted his attorney to give her statement and was ignored.

After listening to the Season 1 follow ups this week, I kinda feel like this woman, Asia McClain, is the perfect witness, completely unflappable, and not biased in one way or the other.

The podcast was never anything but respectful to her memory. Wanting to make sure an innocent man wasn’t jailed for her murder isn’t diminishing the tragedy that was her death.

Did you feel that Hae was treated with disrespect? Her death was always presented as a sad and heinous death, and her life a happy and full one.

Well, the podcast creators did reach out to her family, but they declined to participate (which is absolutely their right). I think the podcast was respectful of the fact that ultimately, a girl is dead who should not be. I do think that there is a degree of callousness on the part of some of the listeners, but that…

I hope you have all the safety and support to honor your grief.

Of course it is a tragedy for her and her family. The podcast presented her as a bright, beautiful, well-loved girl whose death rocked a community.

As someone who recently lost a very good friend to a brutal murder by manual strangulation - I listened to Serial and couldn’t help but think about Hae’s poor family. We know for a fact who committed the murder of my friend, but the unimaginable pain and anguish it has caused her family and friends is something you…

I feel for the family, but Syed did not get a fair trial and there is a lot of evidence that appears to show that he may not be guilty at all. There was police misconduct, and misleading evidence was presented at trial.
