I just felt like we needed a full shot of Rebel looking fucking BOSS in this dress. ALSO HER BAG IS A CANDY. She looks like Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century went to a fancy party and I love it.

I never said it was more humane. I said it was more practical. I said it isn’t a deterrent to crime (which is one of the common reasons people give when trying to defend the death penalty) and I said it isn’t justice (because I don’t think it is). I didn’t say anything about whether it was more humane or not..

Only if you like prog rock and pierogi. Oh, and you can’t be a douchebag and you have to get along with my cats. Then you’re invited.

Goddammit can we just stop with all the killing? Death begets death begets death. If someone kills a bunch of people, killing them doesn’t solve anything. It doesn’t work as a deterrent; it isn’t justice. It’s just petty revenge and it just costs us a significant amount of money and time. Just lock him up and throw…

Great, so now there’s some fuckhead psycho who tried to finish the job that Richard Dear started? Ugh. I really need to build a spaceship and look for life elsewhere.

Kink specializes in sex that requires safe words.

Yeah, this is really sounding similar to CBC and Jian Gomeshi to me.

I’m guessing the reason they’ve been so quick to distance themselves is because the Kink.com studios specifically were named as one of the locations where he sexually assaulted one of the accusers and they don’t want to be associated with that especially since I’d guess they know more stuff is coming out as far as…

You answered your own question. They probably had the kind of sex that requires a safe word.

Well, his public image prior to this was as the guy who was not a threat or disgustingly porn-y.

Cynical, but this is probably a CYA move on kink’s part. Guarantee higher ups in the company knew about him and did nothing because he made them money.

Stories of his abusive on-set behavior have been around for years without any action. This is more like doing something once it becomes a thing.

Probably because without the support of its female employees, the porn industry would utterly collapse and devolve into sex trafficking. I can’t say the same about any pro sports organizations.

Of interest: The porn industry is quicker to drop someone over allegations of rape than the NFL or NCAA.

Oof. That Daily Beast article is particularly bad. The allegations in there show him as essentially feeling like he was hot shit and entitled to just treat the women on set as his personal objects.

Only if we let it!

We’re a year out from the election Trump is getting a lot of attention because he’s running a circus, not a campaign. I read a recent article by Nate Silver that gave the statistical breakdown of how few people are really paying attention to the process this early. Yeah, there are a FRIGHTENING number of people who…

He is currently the preferred candidate of about 25% of Republican voters, which, assuming nobody else wants him as president, means only 7% of the country support him. Which feels about right, as long as you don’t think about how many millions of people that is.

#notallamericans my friend. The overwhelming majority of America thinks this guy is a preposterous asshole.

So...Trump just tried to trick them right? His people said, “you’re invited to a private meeting” and then he was just going to say, pose for photos and be like, “here are X black pastors who are endorsing me - see us shaking hands?” That’s what this is, right?
