Kennedy Center moves to sell all of its Steinway pianos

Photos show piano movers rolling massive Steinway grand pianos through the red-carpeted halls of the Kennedy Center this week.

Being a tv writer is great until you haven’t worked in forever cause the industry is a merger between a dumpster fire and toxic sludge reservoir so now you’re fighting for jobs for that you don’t really want but have to convince yourself you’d be okay doing cause you have to pay stupid rent.

Cornell police edited Jane Doe's statement. Are we in pitchforks and torches territory yet? I think we are close. "As we now know, Cornell police also condensed down Doe's statement, omitting crucial details including the fact that she said she was 100 percent confident she’d been raped."

The good men, the friends and lovers even, say to me later "well why didn't you just tell that creep off" as though I wouldn't be accused of starting shit, as though they'd stand up for me and not interrogate me to make the creep comfortable instead. Experience tells me most men will do the latter.

The death penalty is a moral abomination. State-sanctioned barbarism pushed by incompetent morons and sanctioned by the Supreme Court. Absolute ghoul shit. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

The lone woman on Tennessee's death row was still alive after she was administered two lethal injections, her lawyer said in a motion seeking to halt her execution Wednesday night, a stunning development after the Supreme Court had stepped in to allow the state to put her to death.
At 8:26 p.m. local time, witnesses said
"executioners had injected both syringes of lethal injection chemicals and Pike is still alive and snoring," her lawyers said in a federal court filing.
They said Pike "has not lost consciousness and still has a heartbeat," and that curtains to the death chamber "have gone down twice."

There is a reason civilized countries don’t carry out capital punishment and most legitimate medical professionals refuse to participate in lethal injections.

If fraternities are so dangerous that a response to a woman being raped in a fraternity house is “well, she should’ve known better than to go in there and drink” then ban fraternities.

“It’s not ALL men.” None of the 50+ men the Cornell rapists invited to come join them in raping a woman they’d drugged went to the authorities or tried to stop it. Not all men would rape an unconscious woman, but where are the men who’d try to stop it, or EVEN FUCKING OBJECT?

Everything about Cornell is horrifyingly familiar, and cyclical, because the powerful men saying “we didn’t want ruin these boys lives” are the same kind of bad men whose lives the bad men before them didn’t want to ruin, on and on ad infinitum

You aren't a writer if you're asking a puke machine to spit out ideas modeled after books people like me actually wrote. The EASIEST part of the job is the idea. That's why real writers are asked 1700 times if they want to "go halfsies" on someone else's idea while the writer does the labor.
