Firefox has random articles it thinks I might want to read when I open a tab, which I mostly don't, but this one about Johnny Depp caught my attention:

https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/features/hes-radioactive-inside-johnny-depps-self-made-implosion?utm_source=pocket-newtab

Is he the Hollywood equivalent of Donald Trump where he has a cult of devout followers willing to defend him to the ends of the Earth in spite of the fact he's a piece of poo poo? Not saying Amber is an angel free of blame, but a UK court recently ruled "Yeah, you abused her at least 12 times".

I don't follow entertainment at all, I just remember seeing Amber Heard's claims of abuse met by "NUH-UH JOHNNY WOULDN'T DO THAT, YOU'RE THE ONE WHO DID THE VIOLENCE" on social media, which seems to run counter to the "support women who have been abused, violence against women isn't cool" train (which is the right one to ride).

Sort of.

He is a piece of poo poo who probably abused Herd, but that was a two way street. They both are human garbage, but if I remember it correctly, I think she beat him a few times in a public setting which made the water murky so people were willing to bandwagon him. Once the court ruled against him everyone kinda shut up and backed away.



Yes. And if you weren't aware of him before, he is a massive shitheel who should be removed from congress.

On the other hand his lovely takes and general terribleness leads to this:

That said who was suing who? Also was it in a British court? Like I'm not trying to defend anyone, but English libel laws are the absolute drizzling shits and generally are not a good factor in determining truth...although either England fixed it a few years ago or Australia did (both were/are trash). Remember David Irving actually was able to go to trial there...he lost in the most glorious way ever, but something like that would be tossed in the US before trial itself.

That said if Depp was suing and he lost...in an English court...then that's different. Basically if you can prove you didn't under that system...you pretty much definitely didn't do it.

Pete Davidson basically got him elected (and yeah I know what he says in his special about he would have won anyway...but it didn't help). In fairness to Davidson the joke wasn't even that horrible and Crenshaw is a horrible person. But the fact is he got introduced to the public because of a one liner on SNL.

I don't with any confidence remember the details of everything, but I think it started with a problem in Austrailia where they both got arrested for fighting in public while drunk. Then it spiraled into a divorce in like France or some poo poo, and eventually a defamation suit by Depp in England.

Its a spectacular train wreck.

I'm the last person to defend domestic abusers but the "it goes two ways" includes Amber throwing bottles of vodka at Depp and one of the resultant shards almost slicing off his thumb. To his credit he is also on record getting away from the situation to prevent himself from being violent (which as far as we can tell has happened).

The case that Depp lost was a libel case against The Sun, which is one of the big tabloids in England. So it's like suing the National Inquirer for them running a story about you beating your wife and losing.

Mr Depp, 57, sued the paper after it claimed he assaulted his ex-wife Amber Heard, which he denies. The Sun said the article was accurate.

Judge Mr Justice Nicol said the Sun had proved what was in the article to be "substantially true".

He found 12 of the 14 alleged incidents of domestic violence had occurred.

It's REALLY hard to beat British libel laws. They're designed to protect people like Prince Andrew. The fact that they did not protect Depp in this case is shocking (and telling).

So people on Ramstein AFB woke up to the big voice saying "Air attack, missile attack, this is not an exercise, seek shelter" today. Apparently it wasnt an accident, but the missile launch was determined to be part of a training exercise. Anyone else have any other info? Like, did Russia launch a missile to gently caress around, or what?

My wife and I just got woken up by a series of loud booms here in DC. My first thought was that Uncle Vlad opened up the gift of canned sunshine, my second thought was that one of the Proud Boys who was in DC for yesterday’s cult rally decided to kick off the boogaloo by detonating a car bomb. After a few bewildering moments in which I wasn’t vaporized by a blast wave or deafened by a horde of sirens, I found out it was an old Holiday Inn getting demolished across the Potomac, several miles away in VA.

Noone is going to die if Cuomo isn't there to personally hold their hand and give them the vaccine. You need to re-examine your empathy for your fellow humans or something cause this is a pretty bad take.

I was surprised to see him "in the running" for AG at all, considering Jones feels like such a shoe-in. I have to imagine at least some (if not all) the buzz came from Cuomo and his people lobbying for the job, similar to Rahm desperately angling for Transportation Secretary. (I hope they both get hosed)

No, but he will do doing a lot of the heavy rollout stuff for it and the public face for encouraging people to get vaccinated in NYS. Look at this time, I just want as many people vaccinated as humanely possible. I personally despise Cuomo so trust me and even if I didn't I'm fine with him being MeToo'ed.

Yeah there's been a bunch of stories about Rahm being considered for Transportation Secretary and how he'd be a good fit... which have mostly come out of Chicago media outlets with very non-specific language and/or zero sources that aren't very obviously Rahm himself. It's pretty transparent that Rahm wants some job, any job in the upcoming position (Cabinet level if he can get it, but I have the feeling he'll take pretty much anything that gets him in the building), and he does still have allies in the party. But his main character trait of "being a giant rear end in a top hat" hasn't endeared him to a lot of people, his tenure as Obama's Chief of Staff was both controversial and self-sabotaging, and that's before you get to his actual tenure as Mayor of Chicago the massive poo poo show that was. Considering how many people loathe him (especially progressives), I don't think there's much chance he'll actually end up with a job, and almost certainly not anything that requires Senate confirmation.
