I’m not an expert on this case so I’ll defer to you.

The reason I made my analogy the way I did was because I was trying to disconnect it from extraordinary circumstances which filming a movie qualifies as.

To their credit, this troll got creative for once.

More than anyone else on that set, Baldwin has been wrongfully viewed as the perpetrator of this tragedy,” wrote Baldwin’s attorney. “By these Cross-Claims, Baldwin seeks to clear his name.”

I think the logical conclusion is that he didn’t plan it so I won’t waste too much time thinking otherwise.

To be fair, the political stuff in her tenure was unfunny because it was all about Alec Baldwin scrunching his face and doing the worst, most boring impression of Trump on the market.

Exactly. There’s always this air of, “Oh, that’s unfortunate BUT” as if everyone is automatically equipped with the ability to suss out a bad situation. Even when that person is demonstrably impaired, such as an elderly person, there’s no charity for being “stupid.”

Not that I would want to be murdered BUT if some jackass was going to kill me they could at least be clever about it.

-Thank- you!

I doubt the Tate brothers are surrounded by anyone but like-minded enablers so I wasn’t expecting a moral crusader emerge from this mess.

I agree that the way I wrote this was unkind and unthinking. I do not think the othering of neurodivergent people is okay.

“They’re young and stupid,” he said, explaining that most of the women who worked for Tate and his web-cam business were 25 or younger.

But what makes your girl child more “mature” ? You never said.

I appreciate your continued thoughtful responses.

I agree that children shouldn’t become parents to their siblings and be responsible for more than their share of cooking and cleaning on an age appropriate basis.

“Why is racism my problem if I’m not a racist?”

Thank you.

Sorry, I’ll have to disagree with middle school girls maturing faster than their male peers.

That feels too simple, in part, to think that they’re all harboring that desire and therefore they need to stand up for downtrodden Leo and his totally empowered girlfriends.

Now what I will tell you is that when I wax nostalgic about something from my High School days, like the Thundercats, she likes to lean over and say “I was six”, which leads to a walking chase of me going “nope nope nope” and her cackling like Witch Hazel from Warner Brothers.
