This. I have worked around many many police departments and the saying “You’re not born till you’re sworn” is supposed to mean something, but apparently it just means you get to hide behind the shield with the rest of them rather than have a code of honor that you swear to uphold.

Another reason why one person crews are a terrible idea and newsrooms are shitty, corporate-driven, shit-shovelers.

I would question why a weather report needs to be done in the street though.  Even if drivers should notice you it seems like setting yourself up for failure.

having worked ENG and currently work in production...no. These lights are extremely noticeable and if nothing else the actual bloom from the light would have been very visible. The driver wasn’t paying attention, plain and simple.

Eh.  Reporters are cheap.  There’s a another dozen to replace this one if she dies.  Why spend the extra money.   /s

I saw a tweet earlier this morning about this story from a retired news anchor. He said that this is a perfect example of how the “One Man Band” system needs to go. This accident may have been avoided if there was someone there behind the camera to see it coming instead of the reporter having to do her own camera…

Maybe make the thumbnail not a gif.....wasn’t exactly ready for that to scroll past nor did I really want to see it.

here’s barbie talking about that scene

As legitimate as her grievances may be, these outbursts aren’t helping her. Anyone who is real Britney supporter (in that they care about her well being as a fellow human) would also want her to log off and enjoy life.

This is one of those situations where I desperately wish someone, anyone, could sit down both parties and get through to them that their lives will be 100% better if they just shut up and stay off social media. Do not write that book. Do not do those interviews. Do not hit send on that shitpost. Realize that the best…

I’m sorry, but something about Britney just makes wish she’d shut the fuck up. And no, I'm not a jamie lynn fan.

I remember that.

Criminal: I know it sounds bad, but I can explain. I had to make her think she was going to die, because that’s the only way I can cum.

Judge: OH! I’m so glad you told me! I understand now. Carry on. 

I will never get used to judges and sheriffs being elected officials in some part of the US.

Had a case in my state where a white guy violently kidnapped, raped, and beat an intoxicated Indigenous woman. The white male judge let him skate. But Facebook remembers and he got lost his bid for re-election when story made the rounds again. I don’t know what is done in Illinois, but if they are elected, then that’s…

I feel like the greater concern is that by reversing the conviction, the rapist now has no record. This asshole should carry a sex offender status so that everyone knows what kind of person he is.

Ben Barnes is hotter, period. End of story. Just delicious in Shadow and Bone recently.

Have you even seen Ben Barnes?

There’s no evidence pointing to Ben Barnes and Andrew Garfield being related. 

Garfield has that “guy next door” quality. He’s cute, but kind of plain and gangly and there’s something feminine about him/his acting. Whereas I feel like Barnes is in the “unattainable” Chris Hemsworth kind of masculine beauty category. Ergo, Barnes is more attractive as a prince than Garfield would be.

I’m halfway through the first season of The Punisher, a Netflix Marvel series. Ben Barnes is basically a third lead character in the series. His good looks and ego are a recurring dialogue point. His character’s nickname is “Billy the Beautiful” and he has a line, “Hey, when you look like this, you should share it…
