23 years. Harvey Weinstein has been sentenced to 23 years in prison for his crimes of rape and sexual assault. I literally cried tears of amazement, gratitude that the justice system has worked on behalf of all of his victims today.

Rough day for Harvey Weinstein, but I think there are still some more Oscars and Tonys in his future. And Marvins. And Mikes and Toms and Elroys and Freds…
