If you want to get a gander as to where our narcissistic, snowflake culture is at these days, actress Kelly Marie Tran just scored a full-blown Hollywood Reporter cover story for — get this — “surviving” mean tweets. You remember Kelly Marie Tran, the poor woman stuck with that awful Rose Tico role in 2017’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Rose Tico is not Tran’s fault. She didn’t create that dreadful, humorless, self-righteous character. Nor is it her fault that director Rian Johnson thought it would be appealing to have her spend the entire movie walking around with a smug face — a face that would be deemed “punchable” on a man. Nevertheless, the unfair world being what it is, she was still hit with some of the blowback, and now we’re being asked to celebrate her fearlessness for “surviving” mean tweets. Here are some lowlights in an article titled: “The Resurrection of Kelly Marie Tran: On Surviving ‘Star Wars’ Bullying, the Pressures of Representation, and ‘Raya and the … [Read more...] about Nolte: Rich, Privileged Kelly Marie Tran Hailed for ‘Surviving’ Mean Tweets

Chauvin’s trial in Minneapolis is scheduled to begin Monday. “It was a very strong opinion,” defense attorney Joe Tamburino said, who is not affiliated with the case.

Derek Chauvin is accused in the killing of George Floyd. The judge removed the third-degree charge last fall, and later upheld his decision. But the court of appeals says he was wrong. “Today the Court of Appeals said you have to reinstate the third-degree, and there’s only a small opening in the window where the trial court can still deny it,” Tamburino said. It’s the charge a jury found former MPD officer Mohammed Noor guilty of in the murder of Justine Ruszczyk Damond. The court … [Read more...] about Expert: What An Additional 3rd-Degree Murder Charge Could Mean For Derek Chauvin
