Wowowowow this is quite a ridiculous and loaded standard. So when someone cp-opts a positive message to mean something negative, it’s right and proper to...accept the co-opted version as truth? Under what reality is that ever the case?

Overall, I think he was trying to make a point, and his message became what kneeling was all about. From that standpoint, that is the way the public is interpreting it. So I think that’s really incumbent upon us to adopt that. That’s how, I think, the country now is interpreting the kneeling issue.

solving a solution is next level woke

Chatting with a former student who is now a lawyer, he said his advice to clients going through divorce is always to go through mediation and just settle for something. He has numerous sad stories about couples going at each other and spending thousands of dollars on him to fight over a few grand in a savings account.

Related: don’t assume you’re smarter than your attorney. You might be as a generalist IQ matter, but when it comes to the things you hired your this trained professional to do, he or she knows more than you do.

Most important piece of advice: Don’t ask a lawyer for an answer to your legal question at a dinner party. Lawyers are not like doctors. We did not do 8 years of training.

On October 28, 2016, Ms. Lawrence posted a photo of herself on Instagram. Buccigross, who did not follow Ms. Lawrence on Instagram, “liked” the photograph, indicating that he was still stalking her online.

I have never sent a shirtless photo to a woman I did not want to have sex with because that would be weird and creepy and absolutely signal that I wanted to have sex with them.

I thought Teller was the quiet one.

Great scoop.

It’s those giant vulnerable eyes.

This was better than the article

The article maybe doesn’t do a great job of providing that context. If you really are interested, here’s a quick primer:

“Your mom wanted to take this to the grave and you promised her—on her deathbed—that you would help her do just that. Don’t betray her.”
Why not? She was a liar and a cheat. It was shitty of her to dump that on her son and force him to cover it up. Why treat her deathbed request to preserve her memory with reverence?
