You might not want a neighbor like Herbert

David Herbert, 37, was sentenced to 9 years 8 months in California State prison by the same judge who heard the trial, Honorable Carlos Armour. The judge spoke directly to Herbert during his sentencing hearing on March 14, 2019 and said he found this case “particularly shocking” even though he has been in the judicial ...

Eden is no place. Eden is a machine – so it says in the beginning of the liner notes to the 13th album by Diary of Dreams. If you thought you could grasp the lyrical contents of “Hell in Eden” with a quick glance, these words prove differently and offer a first taste of the ...

San Diego city council members have distinct goals for city money

Council President Georgette Gomez suggests railing the current storm drain fee of 95 cents per month, calculating that each dollar increase in fees equals $6 million in new revenue. “For instance, an increase to $5 per parcel per month would generate an additional $30 million per year to address storm water needs,” her report says. ...

Snoop's kid was a legit player. I believe he was considered a 4star recruit and something like a top 25 WR in his recruiting class. Diidy's kid was ok, but he got in because of who his father is. That came straight from the coach's mouth.

Perhaps creepy was a bad selection. How I feel is that the "super hero" comic book regurgitation of characters over the past 10 years is getting old. How about some new and original material? I enjoy cinema that features stories that are not predictable and maybe even end in ways that one would not expect. ...

The First Amendment does NOT apply to whether they use a review or not. Publications/websites can print what they want. They are under no law that says they can't delete your review, not print your letter-to-the-editor (or edit it), reject a proposed article, etc. You totally misunderstand the First Amendment.

I wholeheartedly agree with this review. I think the director instructed Brie Larson -who seems like a warm and likable person in real life- not to show emotion, so that the "patriarchy/Jude Law character" accusations of women being "too emotional" wouldn't stick. The result was disastrous. Her character came across as detached, aloof, uninteresting and ...
