Isaac Chotiner is like a living thought experiment of What If A Mean Girl Chose to Use Their Powers For Good?
![So is that because you don't believe the accusations, or because you think that it's time to move on?
I don't know. I'm not informed about the accusations. I wasn't there. I wasn't present, but I know his personality. I know his character. I can't tell because I wasn't there, and he might've made some mistakes, but he's a very good guy at heart. He's a very generous and human kind of person.
You told the Times that Brett "made some mistakes." Has he told you that he made mistakes?
No. No. No. Isaac, no. All I'm saying is that I worked with him twelve hours, fifteen hours, a day, and then everybody went their own way. Our age difference is wide. I could be his father.
I read that Roman Polanski is a father figure to him. So that role might already be filled. There are a lot of people who feel affection for Brett.
Yeah, yeah. Because he's a good kid. [In 2007's Paris-based "Rush Hour 3," Ratner gave a cameo to Polanski, who had fled to France after being accused of anally and vaginally raping a thirteen-year-old. He was later accused of sexually assaulting other teen-agers, which he denies. In the cameo, Polanski bas a comic scene where be prepares to do an anal-cavity search of Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker.]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:oqtcrlljm4r6b6ybt6phx25u/bafkreidobkri2jaja6tf5ehldxl7dwsleem4ln72eyqsv75ux6msrxp44i@jpeg)

Man, when Google did away with its “Don’t be evil” ethos, I did not expect the new ethos to just become “Be evil”
Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"?
Well, it happens they were doing exactly that.

Mike Lawler put out a 6 year Navy veteran from his town hall at Rockland Community College for insisting he answer the same question Emily Feiner had for him in May. Still no answer and he’s clearly scared to tell us where his red line is - probably because it doesn’t exist.

This is an excellent depiction of air mass modification over the NE Gulf of Mexico. Cold, continental air moving over a much warmer ocean basin, resulting in strong latent heat fluxes (rising air moving down-gradient), and hence cloud street formation.
Wow. Plenty of clear skies, and you can see the massive snowpack across the United States this Sunday morning after a big snowstorm in the Carolinas. Quite the Winter here in the Eastern US! #GOES #Satellite #Wx
