I mean, yeah, it was out there. She announced it last year on her IG and the Daily Beast did a whole story about it last August. But who’s ainobody out here following Rachel Dolezal on socials and you know your people don’t read so that was easy to miss it’s a slow news day, and we need to eat.

I think there’s a difference between wrongful conviction due to impropriety from the state, and an overturned conviction. I’m sure he’ll sue the state and get a settlement, but the state has a strong case for why they legitimately prosecuted Syed for murder. I still think he did it/was involved, but due process is the…

Wow, some real fucked up women , huh

What is the hot take? That he felt blindsided and betrayed by the prosecutors’ office? That seems like a pretty fair reaction. Or that he wanted the judge to do the right thing? But I guess you get to decide what you feel empathy for, and if you find it harder to find empathy for someone who has lost their sister…

Just don’t judge whatever a victim’s family says, okay? Their 18 year old daughter/sister was strangled to death and some white lady journalist made it the world’s entertainment. Imagine being put through that. It’s a lot to expect them to be super-rational about it all. Also not clear what the rational interpretation…

As an NFL fan, I would say that cheerleaders are used as a marketing tool pretty often, so probably would be missed, if not by most fans, by the teams that have them for an easy way to squeeze a few more bucks out of fans for calendars, meet and greets, etc..

Matt Gaetz: the lovechild between roofies and Axe Body Spray

At least you still have your Law Blog!

Yup. This. Wendy Williams is an asshole, but her addiction and treatment isn’t gossip fodder. It’s 2022, Jez - come the actual f on. The narrative that addiction is a personal failing and not a treatable disease that people recover from all the time is over, and writing stories like this is shitty and keeps people…

Look if we give women agency and then they’re not outraged at the right things then we obviously have to take that agency back, gosh!

Can we please stop feeling outrage on behalf of people who don’t feel it themselves?

You mean asking the state the finance a project for his daughter’s volleyball team. Improving a university can be a very good thing, but there were no altruistic intentions happening here.

Yeah, this article is fucking gross and by providing the woman’s full name makes it even more gross.

I know it’s Jezebel’s thing to be all edgy and whatnot, but Ryan Reynolds should be applauded for streaming his colonoscopy, not made fun of. Younger people are being diagnosed with colon cancer at alarming rates (my husband was 34 - he’s thankfully cancer free now) and anything that encourages people to get their…

Fat people’s right to humanity amounts to more than just missing out on “wading in on fatphobic discourse online.” Like, if someone missed the Jezebel article telling them to be nice to fat people they get a pass for being a bully?  I think Brit’s apology is sincere and incredibly honest, I have no qualms with that. …

I’ve put on no defense trials in the past, where I was just ‘effort costing’ the prosecutor for refusing to negotiate a plea deal. It’s gonna take at least 15-20 minutes to fill out the jury form correctly.

per Roger Ebert from 1969...

Oh, for fuck’s sake.

What on earth do you have to apologize for being white about? Are you a bad person, non-empathetic, mean, cruel or closed-minded because you’re white?
