[According] to a recent study conducted by the Hinge dating app, lame opening lines might actually be the cause of one’s uneventful online dating life. To test this theory, the Hinge copywriting team compiled a list of more than 100 opening lines that they considered to be cool and creative and randomly sent them out to 22% of Hinge members. The company’s engineers measured response rates to each message to determine which openers worked best and after 8 million views, they began to notice a trend. According to the survey, men are 98% more likely to respond to private messages with assertive openers… Women, however, are 40% more likely to respond to openers about food.

I woke up the next morning with this image of this man, of a lawn chair and a shotgun and a child underneath him. The episode came out of that.” Brown was shot in August, and the episode was filmed in October or November, which made Rhimes concerned that the episode would “feel dated” when it aired… “We shot that episode in October or November. I remember thinking, ‘This is going to feel dated when it comes out.’ And then the police just kept killing Black men.” [ MadameNoire ] Columbus Short Gets 3 Years Probation For Knocking Man Out … Short, who was in the center of an assault case in Los Angeles last year, pleaded no contest after knocking a man out and was given three years probation…From PEOPLE: The 33-year-old actor pleaded to an amended felony count of assault likely to cause great bodily injury, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office announced on Thursday.

Where’s the justice? White Cop Aquitted of Killing Black Man During Hurricane Katrina Aftermath Another cop who got away with unjustly killing a young black man. According to NY Daily News: A federal jury on Wednesday acquitted a former New Orleans police officer of fatally shooting a man without justification outside a strip mall in Hurricane Katrina’s aftermath. Jurors for David Warren’s retrial deliberated for 12 hours over two days before acquitting him of a civil rights violation and a firearm charge stemming from the September 2005 shooting death of 31-year-old Henry Glover, whose body was later burned in a car by a different officer. After the verdict was read, Glover’s sister started wailing and had to be carried out of the courtroom. Warren’s family fought back tears. Several jurors also wiped away tears as they left the courtroom. Warren’s family embraced each other. “Oh my gosh, I can’t even get it in my head,” Kathy Warren — David’s wife and mother of their five children, who range from 8 to 15 years old — told a relative who hugged her after the verdict. Warren’s lawyers said he would be released Wednesday from the courthouse and go home with his family. Warren testified Monday that he feared for his life when he shot Glover because he thought he saw a gun in his hand as he and another man ran toward the building he was guarding. Prosecutors, however, said Glover wasn’t armed and didn’t pose a threat. Defense attorney Richard Simmons said the case was always about “a policeman’s worst nightmare, that split-second decision.” “The benefit of the doubt has to go to the officer,” Simmons said, adding that “there’s no winners or losers, there’s just survivors.” We feel for the family.
