He’s a very vocal democrat. There’s a huge section on it on his wikipedia page. He would occasionally make the news in Boston for drawing attention to pro-union and living wage causes. (He may still but I don’t live there anymore.) Honestly, his politics are probably the best thing about him.

Clearly my opinion is in the minority, but honestly are we just completely abandoning the idea that prison is for rehabilitation? Or at least, it is supposed to be-the way the US has designed it makes it much more difficult.

I am suspicious that what he really meant when he referred to his current, 36 year old, Christian, family man self is that now that he’s settled down and is a respectable, married man raising five daughters he’s not for all that “youthful sexual experimentation”. You know— after “sewing his wild oats” (and not even…

Nope, it was his plan all along.

Have any of us been the same since Prince died?

But the brilliant, Ivy league educated, could-have-been-a-doctor, is-better-than-you-and-everyone Natalie Portman doesn’t play supporting role.

That’s just what I thought as well..who would think this was remotely fun?

I don’t think we can categorize these guys as working class. They are poor, they live below the poverty line. Sorry, I don’t want to come off as rude but I kind of felt that was the point of the show, the reason for their struggle. This is a family born without a chance who have to carve out an opportunity without the…

He’s not smart, you can’t believe a word out of his mouth, and he’s a self-obsessed, greedy, shitty person who doesn’t care about the American people. That you could theoretically find someone worse or stupider doesn’t change any of that, and I don’t know when this idiot thinks not being the literal worst person ever…

I’m seeing an awful lot of people online this morning on various news sites commenting on the Kim story saying “they should have killed her.” or “too bad she survived, because she’s a whore.”

It’s her own fault for skipping that ‘how to behave in a way that satisfies random internet commenters after being unexpectedly charged with a serious crime’ seminar that time. Silly girl.

Yes, have you not read up on this at all? The police originally insisted that she and her boss had committed the murder because she texted him “See you later” on the night of the murder. I’m done.

She was shown stretching after hours and hours in a police station. OMG- send her to prison for life! These kind of snap judgments are just a travesty.

Seriously though, what POSSIBLE good can come from putting a prostitute in prison? Can you think of a more counterproductive way of dealing that situation?

That makes no sense! Of course a murder victim would prefer not to have been murdered. But how that makes it ok to falsely accuse and imprison an innocent party and then pseudo-shame them with, ‘Well, the murder victim would be happy to change places with you!,’ implying are in some way at fault- which they clearly…

The book Kidman could write (if she wasn’t busy holding out hope for reconciliation with the kids)...

So? Murder victims would, of course, trade places with victims of justice-system misconduct. Murder victims would also trade places with victims of arson or kidnapping or medical malpractice or attempted murder. That doesn’t make a victim of a non-lethal crimes any less of a victim or make their victimization any less…

Italy. Once I had a German friend during study abroad who told me he could not travel to Italy because he had been convicted of a robbery there. The problem was that he was actually speaking at a conference at the time of the robbery, almost 900 miles away. He is on a time stamped video with a clock and hundreds of…

Also a former Scientology higher-up who has since left has admitted to turning Kidman’s kids against her during auditing sessions on Miscavige’s orders.

Interesting. I read it more as her talking about herself and how young she was than as throwing shade or judgement towards Taylor. I think she was saying she couldn’t believe she was doing the most at such a young age, but that’s what she wanted. I’d be curious to see the full interview rather than the pull quotes…
