Brazilian here. Although the article is factually correct, I think it would be useful to expand the information a bit, in order to get more context. Since I already sort of did that with my comment in the article about the Italian woman burnt alive by an ex-boyfriend, here it goes:

a pretty little vile necklace

You know ... Johnny Depp’s friends have every right to defend him and say things on his behalf. But JESUS does this man need a better class of friends.

In his essay, Stanhope admitted that Depp was unaware that the comedian planned to publicized his account of his relationship with Heard, and expressed his fear that in defending Depp, he “would just come across as a sycophant trying to attach myself to a sensationalized story in order to further my career.”

It took me over 20 years to finally figure out that I didn’t just have a “weird reaction” to 2 glasses of wine and a shot of Jagermeister (my first and last because of this incident) at age 23. My friend, who was the bartender who gave me the drink, drugged it. Never had that reaction before or since—severe physical…

Apparently there is proof that the sex tape was filmed with Hogan’s consent, and the fact that he is lying about that part/ is funded by a right wing bigoted fuck head makes me begrudgingly team gawker on this one. They fucked up majorly with posting the sex tape and should have to pay some sort of amount, but 140…

Yes, there was jello with vegetable flavours.

That’s the “Journey” that plays the third-rate Uncanny Valley Casino & Resort.

To be fair, I have never seen that younger man perform. I just can’t imagine Journey without the intensely earnest balladeer-ing of Steve Perry.

That’s not Journey. That’s “Journey.”

Needs more aspic.

Delicious spreads like this in saturated color photos are what make my first edition 1960 Betty Crocker cookbook such a treasure. I wanna go to ALL the parties and eat ALL the meals (except the icky meats).

My mother still has a giant plastic mushroom for sticking cocktail sticks in it.

This reminds me of the time a conservative campus newspaper at my college published a nasty review of a liberal speaker before the speech had been given. In retrospect, time travel makes a lot of sense in both cases. Do you think Orrin Hatch is so conservative because he was actually raised in the 19th century, and…

“If you’re not a liberal when you’re 20, you have no heart. If you’re not a conservative when you’re 40, you have no head.”

Me too! Southern Baptist and all. I was even in an anti-abortion play in church once.

That’s not entirely fair—a lot of teens aren’t really educated on the issues, and if their families and friends are conservative and that’s all they know, they’re more likely to lean conservative. I was the same way (sans boyfriend) because I was raised in a very conservative Christian environment. I grew up and then…

Loved this. It so so so sums up my life politically—I grew up in rural Kentucky in a very conservative Southern Baptist family. When I registered to vote when I was 18, I registered Independent, but still voted Republican with my parents. When I was a freshman in college I was on the email list for the campus pro-life…

Yup. I’m thoroughly anti-death penalty, but there’s absolutely no satisfaction to be found in discussing why the grieving families are wrong to support capital punishment or why it’s a good thing that our justice system is set up so that theoretically-disinterested parties get to decide what constitutes fair…

Do you also support the state-sanctioned murder of innocent men and women? Because absent a perfect, infallible justice system, if you allow for the Roofs of the world to be executed by the state, then you have no way to prevent the Willinghams. Maybe the state shouldn’t be in the killing game.
