You're right, I don't have any specific numbers on how many abused spouses don't press charges, even after calling the cops during an incident. My suspicions are based mostly on what I've heard and read over the years on the subject, I have heard on occasion that this is a problem in abusive relationships, but I cannot point you to a source. I make no claims to being an expert, I'm just another schmuck on the internet with an opinion.
Although now that I think about it, I do remember a Freakonomics podcast that mentioned this issue and how some states were looking at instituting policies where prosecution would proceed even if the victim dropped the charges.

Thanks! A member in the No Agenda Facebook group said that Adam Curry mentioned it on a podcast but did not leave a link in the show notes. I thought that if it existed you would know about it.

Hes a professor, with tenure, and the director of the hayden planetarium....and he has his own tv show, and his own podcast...he is his own brand.

Im surprised he doesn't earn more to be honest.

Rushdie actually called Stewart himself after the Cat Stevens thing and Stewart realized his mistake in inviting Yusuf Islam to the rally. Penn Jillette tells this story on one of his sunday school podcast episodes. Stewart first vigorously defended himself, then hung up, checked the facts and called Rushdie back with a full apology. Couldnt find that clip, but Rushdie mentions the incident here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThUgpNYr2Oo

Ah, you fellows clearly don't listen to the podcast.

That video was intended for people who do listen, and to those people, such as myself, it's quite entertaining, but I can totally understand it being annoying to anyone else.

The complete podcast

I've watched quite a lot of Bill Burr and also listened to his Monday Morning Podcast and there's nothing better than when he laughs for reals: it's that sort of high-pitched giggly machine gun type laugh. Cracks my shit up.

Awesome. I've been listening to his podcast, DVDASA, for over a year, but I'd never heard of him before and have been very curious to see Thumbs Up. I've unsuccessfully tried torrents, but never thought to check YouTube.

Nice house, and I also found the lack of sound throughout most of the video a little creepy but I suspect it's supposed to be a contrast to the awful noise outside at the beginning and the end. The Japanese seem to view homes as much more disposable than we do here in the west so they have more construction and more architects to build evermore unique houses.
I didn't know any of that until I heard a recent Freakonomics podcast about it.

Here's a video that was (highly) recommended to me:

I haven't had the time to watch it yet, just wanted to drop a link in case I forget about it.

Haven't gotten around to Wolff's latest podcast either:
