Did you get a chance to see John Oliver’s show this week? It focused on juries and how black people are purposely overlooked for sitting on juries. It was like most of his work; informative and absolutely infuriating.


I don’t understand why these bags are so popular and so expensive.

My next-door neighbor told me the other day that she has re-watched it FIVE times since the beginning of 2020. It was her favorite show before the pandemic, but now it’s just on loop as background noise as she suffers through holding down a full-time job while also going to law school full-time, all from the comfort

The Office is one of those shows I have in constant rotation, along with Parks & Rec and Living Single. It’s just comforting to have around, and Michael’s final “That’s what she said” will always make me tear up.

Thank you for all of the above! I read a whole bunch of books on the Peterson case (might have been, well whaddya know, 6-8 :), and even the ones arguing against Scott’s guilt managed to reinforce my absolute conviction that he did it. The books written by Laci’s mom, Scott’s half-sister, and Amber Frey were

I would have felt the same way until i watched the documentary.

I think that might have been why it was put on the ballot. For something major like this it has to go to the people to decide, the reps alone won’t cut it.

Yup. My white Swiss grandmother in Switzerland also wore them. Everybody needs something comfortable and easy for working at home so most cultures have something like it.

Which is why they really shouldn’t put things like this on the ballot. It’s a human rights issue; we shouldn’t hold referendums on human rights. The legislature needs to do their job and pass a law to end it.

The fact that she was pregnant with their child and he killed her to go chase a new woman, was what did it for me. This guy is gross. Leave him on death row. We’ll never kill him - in CA all death row means is life in jail without parole. Why waste our tax money on another trial? Nothing is going to change for him.

Yes; in the Arab World, men and women wear long comfortable caftans at home. It was heaven. But I never thought: Oh, this is proprietary to the Arab World. I wondered: How did this ever go out of fashion in the United States?

You know, Ben Affleck has had so much cosmetic surgery that I think, even at 48, he could totally play this dude for HBO.

We tried, but it didn’t pass. The year was 2016, the ballot measure was like 56 to 43 (in favor of keeping the penalty). Arguably, while Hillary still won the state easily, it brought a lot of people to the polls who are fine with death.

He showered and washed his clothes because he got wet from fishing.

Yeah it’s one of the few things that truly transcends race. Now if you’re talking the amazing plastic tote bags or the double sided aprons? Those are latinx 100%. A house dress? It’s always been a part of every culture and socioeconomic group that has different clothes for in the home vs out of the home.

I should not have investigated the backstory to this. What a nightmarish, terrible fucking thing. I need a drink.

They should just sentence him to life in prison without the possibility of parole. California has not executed anyone since 2006, has had a moratorium since 2019, and will probably be one of the next states to get rid of the death penalty.

My first boyfriend was named Scott, and so was my second (serious) boyfriend. I always referred to the second one as the bad Scott.
His name was Scott Peterson.

My grandma wore housedresses. When she died, and we went through her clothes, it was the one thing that I said absolutely had to be saved. She mostly had two or three in a rotation, but the one I wanted was pink and floral print. It may have come from Hawaii. It took a while before I was bold enough to wear it myself,

Between working from home and the covid-19lbs, jeans are out and dresses are in.
