“All we want is a fair hearing. You have an offense that’s forty years old, in which he has admitted his guilt, he has apologized to the victim, he has done more time than the law requires and the victim has come forward and begged the courts to put an end to it.

The Warrens were, at best, frauds spinning out mostly fabricated ghost stories. At worst they were manipulative con artists who exploited the people they worked with, drummed up Satanic panic fears, and were hypocritical moral scolds profiting of other people's pain. https://t.co/3wNdCEcw7j

Subtweeting The South Korean Spoilers?
so, unless I’m mistaken, the interior and exterior of Norte Dame cathedral from Ubisoft’s 2014 Assasin’s Creed Unity is likely the closest we will get to preserving the pre-burn cathedral….which is both amazing and terrible

But did you hear what the actual numbers they're offering are? It's 80% of 1% of their 10%. It's not in the article or in the letter because it's less than a penny of their dollar.

“I find it mind-boggling that anyone seemingly as introverted and thoughtful as Woody Allen could have constructed as deafeningly operatic a narrative.
