The real story is my create-a-character from nba2k5 finally got his recognition.
I’ll just wait for the documentary where he gets thrown into a jail cell.
It sounds interesting. I admit my first thought was that Lifetime might have neither the sense, nor the gravitas to handle this properly.
Just a quick technical point from an avid soccer fan and regular reader of soccer publications: The correct way to report the result is that Jamaica beat Panama 2-2 (4-2 on penalties). Or that “Jamaica outlasted Panama 4-2 on penalties after playing to a 2-2 draw”, etc. Saying Jamaica beat Panama 4-2 doesn’t…
Just for perspective: In Germany (and similarly in other European countries), every citizen gets an invitation to vote via mail. On election day (always Sundays), you just that hand over at the voting booth (along with your ID), and that’s it. There’s no possibility you’re denied your right to vote. I don’t…
You square the two ideas, by understanding that “believe women” does not equal “police should never investigate”. It means don’t make assumptions if someone discloses to you that they were assaulted.

Off-Topic: everyone in the lede photo is my aesthetic. My New Year’s resolution is to be that dapper more often.
Women over forty in his sight line.
This is an awesome hire. They went out of their way to find not just a certified believer in the cause but one with a mile-long resume in organizing/managing large scale operations.
Girl...WTF
“That laughter exists on a continuum—it’s the same laughter men share after they’ve appraised your body publicly. The catcalls and lewd comments they hurl your way are a performance for the men around them: your body just a platform for them to bond over. It’s an act of performed masculinity, which in a public setting…
Lots - I mean lots (actually, pretty much everybody who’s not an entitled white man, and even some of them) - of people seeing the same thing you’re seeing
Can’t speak to what the original poster meant, but to me it means “safely” for those who benefit from that system, who would prefer to pretend those horrors don’t really exist, all the while doing their utmost to empower the very same monsters. After all, it’s harder to put a polite face on things that blatantly…
