The fact that they immediately kicked him out of the band makes me think they were aware of that kind of stuff already, which is gross. I'm just assuming that, though.

Ethan Kath's defamation suit against Alice Glass has been dismissed, and he has been ordered to pay her attorneys' fees. The Gaslamp Killer's defamation suit against his accusers is going forward. and no charges to be filed against Enzo Amore |

not a monster in this sense but definitely someone who needed to go the fuck away
Recording Academy President Neil Portnow will step down from his position next year when his contract expires, Billboard reports. Portnow has been the head of the organization since 2002. In a statement to Billboard, he said, “The evolution of industries, institutions and organizations is ultimately the key to their relevance, longevity and success.” Portnow added, “I’ll be working with our Board to put the various elements in place that will ensure transparency, best practices, and the Academy’s ability to find the very best, brightest, and qualified leadership to take us into our seventh decade of operation.” The position will reportedly be filled by next summer.
Earlier this year, a petition—led by Vanessa Carlton—called on Portnow to resign after he said that women should “step up” if they want to be successful in the music industry. “Neil Portnow’s comments show a complete disregard for the many ways women have been overlooked, discredited, and disempowered in music,” the petition read. “At a time when women and men across industries are screaming ‘Time’s Up’ for, not only sexual harassment and assault, but also systemic discrimination that subjugates women and people of color, Portnow’s comments are especially tone-deaf.”

And I do believe he has been recalled. It's the first time that's happened in California in 86 years, or something.

Interesting point in the article about how punishing judges for lenient sentences could ultimately adversely affect minorities. I'm not sure I buy it but it's interesting.

Yeah I've heard that point brought up previously, but people already vote for judges based on how liberal/conservative they are, so how is it really any different? I think there needs to be accountability.

And I think that argument in this case isn't necessarily relevant. It would be more accurate based on these results to say that punishing judges for similar lenient sentences would serve to benefit women and victims of violent sexual crimes.
The argument would be that minorities are charged more frequently, right? That represents an entirely different issue to me, but one that also needs to be urgently addressed.

Yeah, that's why I think that argument is disingenuous. No one is asking for harsh sentencing, they're asking for fair, consistent sentencing. No special exceptions for young white athletes.

It's more that people react to immediately put their trust in the one side and never give the benefit of the doubt to the other person, unless you are president of course.

1. When someone claims to have been abused, the right thing to do is act as though it happened, not as though they made it up.
2. He hasn't responded yet.

Who is it about? Not gonna read it at work, but I probably will later. A former podcast host who became the CEO of a media company, who is 17 years older than a 29-year-old, who doesn't drink. Who is into a bunch of nerd shit. |

Ah gotcha. I don't know much about him, but I thought he was married. Not that it matters, obviously.

the "rose-colored-glasses" phrase initially made me think the story was about the septuagenarian country singer John Conlee, who played at least four Farm Aid concerts. Conlee could floor Hardwick w/ one punch.
