Gotta say, all this stuff definitely is hitting me right in the childhood. One of the first movies my wife and I watched together was Scissorhands because of how much we loved anything involved Tim Burton and Depp. We binged on that, Corpse Bride, Ed Wood, Sweeney Todd, and Sleepy Hollow. “We... maybe kinda have a bit

They’re not the loss I’m concerned about. It’s the people trying to stay safe that they inadvertently infect that I’m worried about.

Her Tiny Desk Concert remains my all-time favorite. And that smile of hers is freakin infectious!

Wait, what makes Portia innocent in all this? Genuinely asking, because from what I’ve seen of the two, they can be pretty lovey dovey. Doesn’t sound like they’re on bad terms, but given how rampant issues are with Ellen’s show, I’d actually be more inclined to think of Portia as an enabler.

My dad’s latest vehicle is a 2000 Chevy Silverado extended cab with the 5.3L V8 and only 80k miles on it he got for $4k. It is absolutely pristine and the dude was only getting rid of it because he hardly ever drove it. Apparently bought it just before his wife got pregnant, so they then decided to get a cushy ugh....

WTF is wrong with this country??? I swear we are the most selfish, self-centered, idiotic people on the planet. Also Chainsmokers, really? If I was going to risk my life and that of my loved ones, I could probably think of 100 other acts I would rather see JUST off the top of my head. Lianne La Havas immediately

Pretty sure most people still refuse to think of an Eclipse as a crossover... I know I do lol

Kinda sounds like we’re two sides of the same coin. I won’t say I’m better than most because I don’t believe that kind of thinking. That sort of thinking is counterproductive. I don’t believe in comparing myself to others. I believe I’m only as good as I choose to be in any given scenario.

Lol really, CRW67?

Shoot even in retrospect, some of the characters from the original books were racist and prejudiced af. As a kid though, you have a tendency to gloss over that without realizing. It was fairly recently after reading about some of Rowlings other misdeeds that we realized how messed up some of her character portrayals

I actually remember the JK Rowling shit, which pissed my wife and I off because we have been Potterheads since the books came out when we were in elementary school. I’m glad Radcliffe and the others spoke out against her, but as far as we’re concerned in my household, Rowling is basically dead to us lol. From my

Didn’t know that and almost made me wtf out loud at my office. But like we’ve discussed before, while celebrity reactions are going to be pretty revealing in the coming days, I’m especially concerned over the repercussions this case may have on actual abuse victims. 

He wouldn’t be the first celebrity who got so used to always being told they’re right that they destroyed themselves rather than accept they were wrong.

Have you ever called someone an assh0le? Dick? Prick? Fucking douchebag? Depp called women bad names. Yep, that makes him a wife beater. If you’ve never thrown stones good for you. Most everybody in life has. I recently felt betrayed by a long-time friend. I called him a fucking loser and an asshole. I’m not saying

Let him keep airing his dirty laundry out in the open like this. Maybe he’ll become enough of a pariah to disappear for good.

I won’t comment about Heard, because I’m still on the fence about her and want to actively refrain from allowing any biases to interfere with my determination, but Depp? I think the texts alone are pretty telling. There is LITERALLY NEVER any excuse to speak about women like this:

I personally would argue that the real traps are the married or otherwise coupled-up straight men who flirt with us online and off without disclosing the existence of their wives and/or girlfriends

While I agree, I’ve also learned the hard way I work for an inherently racist, staunchly right-leaning organization. Yesterday, one of the board members made racist remarks about using research papers written by an Indian while I was in the room. She was referring to a piece I had written, who also happen to be of

I honestly don’t know what to think anymore because ALL OF THIS is a Fustercluck of a case. I effectively can’t stand either of them for a plethora of reasons each.

Honestly the guy was always unbearable, but 2020 has been too much. We used to get into mostly diplomatic debates on subjects. Now though, gloves are off. When he started going on about black people and minorities once the protests started, I reminded him that my wife was black and I’m a minority of mixed descent and
