Thank you for clarifieing that for me.

It didn’t go to trial - it was dismissed at the summary judgment phase, which is when all the discovery has taken place, but trial hasn’t happened yet. A summary judgment motion basically says, “Look at all the evidence she has; with all of this, there is no way a jury could find facts that would satisfy the legal…

What was detailed in the court opinion were her “contentions” - to wit, that Howard was “permeated with discriminatory intimidation, ridicule, and insult.” The court opinion (which is on Smoking Gun, and both brief and very readable) spells out her claims, and says that she presented no evidence to support any of them.

“As detailed in the court opinion, Dolezal’s lawsuit contended that Howard was “permeated with discriminatory intimidation, ridicule, and insult.”

I don’t know, maybe you’re spending too much time worrying about other people’s opinions? No matter how you choose to have kids, someone somewhere will have a problem with it. Even straight married het couples can get blowback from the ZPG folks.

Why do people *have* to like adoption? For lots of people, it’s very important to have a blood connection with their kids. I guess this is why some straight couples go for surrogates if the woman can’t keep a pregnancy, for example. Should that couple be judged because they did not choose to adopt rather than get a…

Adoption ain’t free or guaranteed, either. Far from it. And as to the “plenty of adoptable kids out there,” there really just *aren’t* unless you adopt older children who may have emotional issues or children with special needs. It’s great that some families are willing or able to do this - but let’s face it, it’s not…

I can’t wait to see what her hair and makeup looks like when she hits the talk show circuit. Will she double down or dial it back?

Anyone else feel like she’s going to drop the full story and it’s going to be some bull shit excuse like “ it was an experiment to challenge ethnic identity ideas of America...” Or something similar?

It’s all kind of ironic, right?

How is Novak the average white man? He was an executive producer on one of the biggest sitcoms of the 21st century while he was still in his 20s

this does not look like three generations

I’m so confused. Has Scott Disick slept with Brad Pitt yet? Is he up to Brad’s snuff?

Do you run a religious cult, too?

That’s an opinion. And kind of a douchey way to share it.

I thought they were having two bachelorettes which I thought was new and different and a cool change. Then when I found out that the men get the power to chose - taking the power away from the female - so stupid and sexist.

The second time I met the 80s hair band Warrant...

I was in Toronto a couple years ago and saw an Oasis cover band (who were REALLY good) and I can’t remember the name but they really missed out on an opportunity to call themselves “Fauxasis”

I don't know if she's more popular. Her show was canceled and one her magazines, Everyday Food, downsized.
