It's hard to believe that they used the entire 50 foot roll of clothesline with most of it still in the factory coil. I had imagined a much shorter length with an actual hangman's knot. The original leaked reports said that it was brand new clothesline and pristine straight from the package. It...

Surprised there isn't a thread on this yet. Star of the hit show Empire, Jussie Smollett, was apparently attacked last night. And, if the reporting our right now is true, it sure does seem like a hate crime. He is both black and gay. Not shy about it. A week ago he got some threatening letter...
