The McDonalds lawsuit was justified. You shouldn’t need skin grafts just for spilling coffee on yourself.

The insurance company that paid the homeowners is 100% going to sue the estate as well, they aren’t going to throw their hands up and go “Oh well, that’s one for the loss column”.

It’s her only available remedy under the law, and you feel for her, so why did you also feel the need to label her perfectly reasonable and understandable action “creepy”?

1. Heche’s kids didn’t earn that money. It’s appropriate for debts to be paid from the estate before the heirs get what’s left.

“Heche’s kids weren’t the ones who were negligent.” Right. But why should they get a big inheritance and benefit financially from the accident, while the victim is left out in the cold? When Anne Heche died, she left a lot of money behind. Giving it all to her kids without giving any to the victim seems pretty…

Disney executives: why couldn’t she have been the other kind of mermaid, with the fish part at the top and the lady part at the bottom??

Yikes. Not a Leno fan, but am a burn victim, and can say for sure: wouldn’t wish that on anyone. 

I always figured they were big fans of Scottish poet Robert Burns.

THIS JUST IN: Complete lack of human empathy from internet commenter just because they harbor a mild dislike of someone.

Keep your chin up, Jay!

He didn’t say Jewish people control Hollywood, he said he could understand why some people might think that. “There’s also a lot of Black people in Ferguson, Missouri, but that don’t mean they run the place.”

Definitely didn’t have “Blacks vs. Jews, online” on my 2022 bingo card.

The issue is that the claim Jewish people are in charge of Hollywood/banks/governments/the world/space lasers all comes from the same antisemitic root. It’s the same thing antisemites have said for two thousand years, usually right before they show up with torches. You can say “it’s demographics” as loudly as you…

he’s suing mostly for indemnification and contribution, ie the idea that these people should be paying his legal fees for defending the underlying suit because they’re the ones at fault. its a lot less nefarious than this article makes it seem.

Since this is a cross complaint I think the people named are also suing him at the same time so I’m not sure what else he can do if he thinks they’re purposefully tarnishing his name to shift blame from themselves.

I really do feel bad for Baldwin, as I can’t imagine accidentally killing someone in a stunt I was assured was safe and not going to kill someone. That’s horrific to have to live with. This is definitely the wrong way to go about handling it, though.

... Yeez Whiz?

Yeah, that’s not great. But those people would be over the moon living in the US with a minimum wage job, even with minimal or no benefits. It would be much better than where they came from or sitting at the border waiting to get in, and it would give them a start on the path towards citizenship. It’s far from…

It is maddening how the people who yell loudest about closing the borders are often the same ones complaining that they can’t hire people to do entry level jobs.

We don’t talk about Fight Club.
