Depp trial likely to end in "mutual disgrace and exhaustion"

This shows what happens when corporate marketing takes over the non-profit sector.

I figure most people prefer avoiding court, so the poopularity of court tv, etc seems particularly odd.

For the people affected, that court appearance is probably the most “dramatic” - as in tense and anxiety-ridden - experience of their life. The modern obsession with voyerism and the death of privacy make real court cases prime stuff. The only thing that I can think of that goes counter to those trends is diminishing attention span.

That article. The editorial decisions and discussions about timing it with fucking Aquaman . Holy shit. I’d ignored the rest of this bullshit but that’s so depressing.

Yeah, the reputational damage that the ACLU will be facing for this apparent quid-pro-quo certainly isn’t nothing, and may cost them more in donations than what they were actually able to get from her. I know it’s changed the way I look at the organization and I may be a bit less enthusiastic in my donations to them as a result.

But the organization says Heard never signed the formal pledge prepared for her by the ACLU, and it has not received another donation from her. “We reached out to Heard starting in 2019 for the next installment of her giving and we learned that she was having financial difficulties,” Dougherty said.

I love how there are tons of people online making dumb jokes about this trial (often at the expense of Heard), and who gets in trouble for making a joke about it? Drew Barrymore…

But sure. Misogyny isn’t “real”… okay.
