My local news station headlined this story by saying that it could have negative implications for the #metoo movement. No, you idiot, it’s about legal procedures, and one badly run trial doesn’t throw out a whole concept. ---

If I ran into Cosby at the grocery store, I’d do one of those coughs where you combine a cough with “rapist” kinda deals. He used to be a comedian, I’m sure he’d get it. ---
