Yeah, I agree that shredding returned yoga paints/tanks/etc. is overkill.

And if they deep cleaned them and put them back, this story would say "Victoria's Secret Wants You to Buy Some Other Chick's Old Undies."

So taking mifepristone alone probably won't give the baby gills? That's good to know.

So ... you aren't supposed to even take aspirin or drink coffee in the first trimester because it might give you a baby with gills, but if you take a drug meant to cause a miscarriage and then a super-high dose of hormones your baby is going to come through it just fine?

Okay, WTF is giltwood? Am I the only one who didn't know that was a thing?

FROM YOU, JEZ. WE LEARNED IT FROM WATCHING YOU.

Not to be cold, but she's 85 and it's likely she only has 10 more years of independent living at most. I think the museum can probably swallow $320,000.

The bad PR from this is probably going to do more than enough damage to make up for what they'd gain by getting market value on the space. An Italian-American museum kicking out an actual Italian-American grandmother just looks terrible.

The book was in development for a long time. Like, a really long time — it came out in 1973 and got optioned and passed around and dropped and optioned again,because the tone was so unusual compared to what else was being made. If the Whoopi story is true at all, my guess would be at some point somebody was thinking…

I can imagine an alcohol officer wanting to talk to a young white man if there was a problem with his ID, because that's basically their entire job. What I cannot imagine is the officer escalating to violence if the white guy wasn't violent first.

The police involved work for the alcohol board — probably they were out looking for anybody using a fake ID. (Which Johnson wasn't, but I can see where that would be the first assumption about someone turned away by a bouncer in a college town.)

Most people don't care about anything except what color Kim Kardashian died her hair and who's going to win March Madness, let's be real. The only reason this story is interesting is that it's yet another example of what looks like a racist action on the part of law enforcement. If there was any defense along the…

Thanks, I found that myself. Probably should have clicked the links instead of asking in the first place but I was lazy.

Probably they don't want to look like they're favoring a famous person.

Not that I found, but clicking through Jia's links got me to this:

Saying police acted in a racist way on one particular case, or even many particular cases, is different from "all police are racists." It's hard to ignore this country's history of treating black people terribly, especially where law enforcement is concerned.

Neither do I, but it still amazes me. I wish we were better than that.

Thanks. And yeah, that sounds really unfortunate for him. It feels strange to me that it's being applied to people who primarily lived in Australia from the time they were children, but I get that sometimes governments just need to make a rule and stick to it to avoid getting mired in thousands of specific cases.

I feel like I'm missing something. What happened between him being disappointed but polite about not getting in, and him ending up in chains? Do we know?

No matter how long you'd been in the country, if you weren't in Australia for the majority of 2000 to 2002 — when I was particularly busy filming overseas — you can't become a citizen."
