Absolutely. Jeffrey Toobin’s The Run of His Life clearly makes the case that Clark’s arrogance about the case and her own abilities were the primary reason that the government lost a case that really was unloseable. For example, although the defense relied heavily (and successfully) on expert jury consultants, she…

Props for mentioning Tatum’s book. I don’t know why but I almost never see it referenced or discussed. At least not nearly as much as it should be. I remember reading this in high school and how powerful I found it.

Wait... seriously? If you’re going to complain about someone stealing a joke you have to do better than something like that. Hell people have gotten caught stealing entire personal anecdotes and put themselves in someone elses shoes with maybe a single change to the joke and we’re supposed to get outraged over “the…

I feel like 69 works better for homo sex than for straight sex. With a gay hookup you are not only more likely to be roughly the same height (which helps) you are also both insanely familiar with the tools at hand so you don’t need to concentrate that much to know what’s going to work. While with hetero sex the…

Waiting to see someone say this - on the side is the only way 69 works.

I can’t find the video, but this would be a great place to link that scene in The Americans where Paige walks in on her parents and is shocked to find them... not doing spy stuff, just 69ing each other.

Wait. what? Do you even know what Spotlight is about? We all pick and choose our battles. I don’t see Will Smith standing up for the child victims of Catholic sexual abuse so obviously he hates children and thinks they should be raped, right?

You’re attacking the wrong person. Judge Russo was legitimately baffled — not by the generic meaning of the word “document,” but by the fact that the grand jury had produced something only described as such, rather than the specific documents it should have.

Or, she worked her way into a bearding contract...

Exactly. It’s like people WANT white men to be held to the lowest bar possible. Hm.

Nah, Rihanna can do better.

IT DIDNT MAKE ANY SENSE. ugh.

But why are the Metro Police even investing so much resources into investigating a pro-union anti-racism activist group? I would be livid that my tax dollars went to pay for spying on a completely legal, completely benign group.

Maybe I’m just a whore, but IMO I don’t think number of sex partners=percentage of risk. Like if it’s only protected and/or oral isn’t it lower risk than barebacking?

That game was like sex, if sex included Al Michaels and Chris Collinsworth watching you the whole time and getting completely flabbergasted by what they were seeing.

According to Norm MacDonald, when you die, since the cancer dies with you, it’s a tie.

I think it makes sense in really specific, discrete cases. You and I do an old timey Bonnie and Clyde bank robbery. Both of us have our guns out pointing them at people. And I shoot someone. In the excitement and terror witnesses might not be able to tell who did it. We escape but are caught. Impossible to tell which…

On top of everything else, the felony murder laws are horribly abused in this country often, like this, as a tactic to bully people into plea deals.

Richard Pryor said it. “You go down there looking for justice, that’s what you find. Just us.” The criminal-justice system makes a shitload of criminals and justice is accidental at best. Criminals are the product... Justice is a byproduct. I have seen what an overambitious prosecutor can do. It’s ugly. They have a…

That’d be like me getting “expert” testimony from the Ancient Aliens guy on why extra terrestrials forced me to commit tax fraud. It would only bias dumb, but well meaning jury members.
