Weinsteins step down as Miramax CEOs

Actually, they hadn't--Pakin was accused of saying something. Didn't know that, either. (That wasn't made clear when the story broke, was it?) Again, I'm glad.

How does anyone become capable of hitting someone in the face

Like how did you decide to be an adult who would hit someone

really

and for rebuffing an inappropriate advance, when you’re the boss

I was surprised that the only Facebook chatter I saw about that was Schneiderman’s cousin cursing his name.

does Cuomo get to make an appointment?

he should appoint Preet. or Hillary

schneiderman resigns

I hope they appoint the chief deputy attorney general because he was in my freshman dorm

He also might be my distant cousin

not sure i'd want many of the people in my freshman dorm in positions of power tbh

The good people I went to school with were amazingly, terrifyingly good

just what you want in an attorney general

Thor level good or just like Steve Rogers good

They should ask Spitzer back

I’ve been unable to speak on my situation for 7 months. It is with great care and awareness that I share my story with you today. Attached you will find testimony excerpts from the judge, a toxicologist, witnesses and myself. Find the full statements here https://t.co/O8BZy0lwW7 pic.twitter.com/QBV4yus2zs

He misspelled his own name at the end of his statement?

lol good catch

$500 million settlement from Michigan State to the survivors of Nassar's abuse.

Uh, he is really twisting the words of the judge there. She is saying that Tadros' statement is a kind of statement that can be proved right or wrong, not that it's already been done. My belief in his innocence is not exactly heightened by this.

frankly i have no idea who this dude is but smdh that the social media age has led us to a point where someone calling themselves ‘gaslampkiller’ is protesting their innocence on twitter in all seriousness

Are these mega settlements going to move the needle in how universities deal with the monsters on their payrolls?

The 1998 tobacco settlement was $206 billion. How are tobacco manufacturers doing these days?

Not as well as in 98? Is this a valid comparison?

That's an excellent point, Frederik.

don't adopt.

that's your takeaway from this whole thing?

Yeah, that’s a vile thing to post.

Jesus, that poor family.

Pretty convincing post by Moses.

As always, compare it to the custody ruling from 1993: https://www.huffingtonpost.com/danny-shea/heres-the-1993-woody-alle_b_4746866.html?guccounter=1. One glaring problem: Several adults, including professionals, had noticed Allen had a deeply problematic relationship with Dylan for years before 1992, so Moses' claims that he never saw anything wrong rings false.

16 women come forward to allege sexual harassment by Morgan Freeman https://t.co/M0nLysSE0E

The Vancouver skytrain system launched announcements voiced by Morgan Freeman yesterday.

They've been pulled obviously.

Morgan Freeman seemed inevitable, this is a man who dates (dated?) his step-granddaughter

that moses farrow post is seriously disturbing and, for me, pretty hard to argue with. i basically don't know what to think about this anymore, except that tombot otm.

The basic principle of 'believe the victim' should always be applied in the absence of clear and compelling contradictory evidence. Moses Farrow offers clear contradictory testimony and some contradicting evidence. he is at last half-compelling. now all I can say is this is a hugely tangled mess that outsiders are ill-equipped to disentangle.
