Second season of Netflix's 'Mindhunter' focuses on the Atlanta Child Murders

by Amrita Khalid
Erin H

OH FUCK YES this show is so good, and this series of murders is the first big crime I remember (although I think the police def got it wrong).

Back in the '70s, law enforcement struggled to find serial killers like Ted Bundy and the BTK Killer -- not to mention understand the dark forces that drove them. The Netflix drama Mindhunter depicts the pioneering work of two fictional FBI agents du...

I'm Reluctantly Inspired By This Hellacious, Truly Petty Pink Emoji Revenge House

by Anna Merlan
Erin H

As someone who is considering painting their own home a hideous color just to piss off the neighbors, I salute this extremely petty rich woman.

A dispute over a homeowner using her second property as an Airbnb in the tony oceanside enclave of Manhattan Beach, California has escalated into a breathtakingly petty war, carried out with shocking pink paint and gigantic emojis. When Kathryn Kidd’s neighbors reported to the city that she was renting a two-level…

But as Anna Merlan reported in 2017, the company went through a series of significant changes that altered the company’s self-described feminist ethos, the biggest being its…

Rammstein members kiss on stage, violate Russia anti-LGBTA laws

by johng@nospam.punknews.org (johng)
Erin H

The heroes we need.

As reported by Loudwire,,recently, Rammstein played Moscow. During the show, the band's Richard Kruspe and Paul Landers smacked lips on stage. That's in violation of Russian law. In 2013, Vladmir Putin passed the “gay propaganda” law. Although the law is fairly ambiguous as to what is actually covered by its regulations, part of that law prohibits public performers from doing same sex kisses. Violation penalties include: Russian citizens found guilty can receive fines of up to 5,000 rubles, and public officials can receive fines of up to 50,000 rubles. Organizations or businesses can be fined up to 1 million rubles and be forced to cease operations for up to 90 days. Foreigners may be arrested and detained for up to 15 days then deported, or fined up to 5,000 rubles and deported. The fines for individuals are much higher if the offense was committed using mass media or internet. The German band haven't suffered any repercussions yet. See their post below.

I swear I read that headline as "The Best Apps for Internet Fisting" and literally clutched my pearls. satisfied

Analysis: The reason why Trump picked Stephanie Grisham

Erin H

She looks disturbingly like Pippa Middleton.

President Donald Trump is not a complicated guy. He likes people who like him. He hates people who don't like him. And he trusts a very small group of people -- mostly members of his own family and a very few aides who have been with him from the start.

#474 When someone who doesn’t like pizza crust gives you their pizza crust and even leaves a bit of cheese on it

by Neil Pasricha
Erin H

YESSSS I love the pizza bones.

Personally, I’m a crustless gentleman.

Gimme that melty tip of of cheesy goodness, gimme that pepperoni with crispy edges, and then gimme another slice.

Yes, for my money Belly Space Analysis dictates I’m better off grabbing another slice from the box rather than chomp away at the crust’s puffy blandness. So I gaze up at the feasting lions clawing the pizza zebra to bits around me and offer up my crust to anyone who wants it.

Sometimes I even leave a little cheese and sauce at the edges to sweeten the deal.

If you’re a crust lover this is when your eyes flash fast and you growl at the others before tearing it from my hands and ripping it to shreds.

AWESOME!

Oh please, nobody ripped off anybody. I have been folding my tshirts and storing them vertically for 20 years because they take up less space that way and you can see them all at once. It's not an invention FFS.

Brett Kavanaugh Gets Kudos From Ruth Bader Ginsburg for Hiring All-Female Clerks

Why do I think it's only so he can sexually harass them?

Brett Kavanaugh is an odious presence on the Supreme Court, and I’m sure Ruth Bader Ginsburg isn’t especially pleased to share the bench with an accused sexual assaulter. Still, that didn’t stop her from pointing out that Kavanaugh “made history by bringing on board an all-female law clerk crew.”
