  1. Shockingly, Philip Buchanan is a thrice divorced, pedophilic, alcoholic loser who has filed Chapter 7. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catturd
  2. The only defamation suits he's "won" in recent memory, if ever, are the 60 Minutes one, which wasn't defamation, and the ABC/Stephanopolous one. And both of those settled under "suspicious" circumstances.
  3. This series is on Kindle Unlimited to borrow for free. It's pretty amusing and extremely creative. Somehow, I like it better I think than Ready Player One. I'm reading it, but I can see how hearing the text read could be extra hilarious.
  4. One kind of interesting aspect of this, like marijuana laws, is the conflict between state and federal laws. Several states have at least partially restored felon gun rights, like Texas permits a felon to own a gun but only on the premises of the home five years after the completion of their sentence. But federal law criminalizes possession or ownership of guns by felons, period. I think it's been like marijuana: if the state permits it, the feds won't prosecute it, but not sure on that.
  5. Good point from a branding standpoint. Seems like someone is always questioning how iconic a brand really is and whether it needs a refresh. Usually some new marketing dufus that wants to make a name for herself, e.g. Steve Patterson. One advantage teams have is that they can "test market" by running out unis for a game or two without changing their whole branding. Something a lot of companies can't do.
  6. Time to boycott In n Out, if you didn't already. https://parade.com/food/in-n-out-billionaire-boss-moving-business-out-of-california-heres-why Lynsi Snyder says her family is relocating to Tennessee as In-N-Out expands east, citing the challenges of raising kids and doing business in California. “There were so many pressures and just hoops we were having to jump through,” Snyder said on the podcast. “You’ve got to do this, you have to wear a mask, you gotta put this plastic thing up between us and our customers and it was really terrible.” Fuck you you broken-brained cunt.
  7. Yeah, Silk came up in relation to it. Pretty decent. I think if you liked Escape Artist, you'll like this. It's why I tagged you.
  8. @DDD Dad and anyone else that might have something left for legal drama. Silk is about British barristers and their chambers and clerks, which is sufficiently different from US legal practice as to introduce some interest all its own, let alone the interaction between solicitors and barristers. Also, the courtroom drama is somewhat more understated, in keeping with how I understand British procedure to work, so that and unfamiliarity with it means your bullshit detector doesn't go off quite as frequently as a lot of US stuff.
  9. Not really a trailer name. Does conjure this though.
  10. As a patent lawyer, gage/gauge is a word that I wind up using frequently. I opt for gage because I'm less likely to have to retype it. 😬😬
  11. Some pretty gnarly stuff, and yes, it does appear to prohibit "expressive activities on campus between the hours of 10 p.m. and 8 a.m.;" https://legiscan.com/TX/text/SB2972/id/3249738 Great swaths of these amendments seem pretty prima facie unconstitutional as well as ludicrous. At least under oldlaw.
  12. She is such a fucking moron.
  13. Is it possible that Bondi and these other "QMAGAts" got over their skis with this and didn't really have Trump's permiso? Of course, it would be pure MAGAt of them not to realize that this shit is bad for the boss pretty much any way you slice it.
  14. Possibly important to add "beyond a reasonable doubt." There's probably oodles of stuff in there that heavily implicates Trump and others, maybe, probably even making it more likely than not that they abused minors with Epstein. But that's not the burden of proof in a criminal case and if as a prosecutor you don't in pretty good faith believe the evidence can establish guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, its pretty close to unethical to indict on it. And once the authorities decide not to indict, all that evidence in the normal case gets deep sixed and it stays there in perpetuity.
  15. What the fuck does that have to do with anything? Really shocked he didn't file it in the WPB/Fort Pierce Division. Also, as currently written, that complaint is going to be shot into the sun without whiskey or hash browns as it inadequately pleads malice. I suppose they might get one opportunity to amend.
  16. UT used to have a similar rule, I don't see one now.
  17. Come to think of it, I'm not sure a judge is even going to release grand jury information. So this is all theater where Trump can blame another danged ol judge. https://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/frcrmp/rule_6
  18. https://www.npr.org/sections/shots-health-news/2025/07/18/nx-s1-5471281/aca-health-insurance-premiums-obamacare-bbb-kff
  19. Yeah on KERA this morning they mentioned a $2.7M annual shortfall. Have to think that's a relatively small portion of their budget.
  20. Imagine that's true, because it wasn't necessary to name names to indict Epstein or Maxwell. It might get interesting to release transcripts where a grand jury no-billed someone like Trump if that happened. Or they presented evidence but ultimately no indictment. But the likelihood of a judge releasing that is zilch unless that person is long dead. But, if you're going to do some allegedly transparent data dump on Epstein, grand jury transcripts would seem to be a pretty key part of that.
  21. Yeah, there is some evidence that Trump was far more articulate in his younger years before the spirochetes got to his brain. Probably also applies to the signature.
  22. That's what I was driving at earlier. Had there not been the relationship between the parties, would have been an interesting question whether the Verve's sample would have infringed the original work. And one thing to always bear in mind in music copyright cases: the owner of the rights is often not the artist/authors, its a manager or record company, so not legally the same entity and often quite or completely "factually" independent (meaning doesn't need and doesn't have the blessing of the artists). The usual division is that the artists often own the "composition" copyrights (words and music), while a manager or record company owns the rights to the performance/sound recording. But that can vary quite a lot.
  23. Solid work. Pretty impressive. Are you a dirthead? And, yeah generally agree on the floodplain issue. In this particular context, it seems rather self-serving in retrospect. And, while the structure/area removal is objectively supplying data to replace FEMA's estimations, I still consider that advocacy. The data should be pretty objective and FEMA should be well-positioned to take issue with it if it is false or mischaracterized, Stranger things happen with government agencies.
  24. What about the Biden administration makes you think they'd do that? Particularly the Department of Justice? Releasing pre- or post-indictment/conviction investigation information is not normal and is against DOJ policy, as well as most state prosecuting authorities. If anything the Biden/Garland DOJ was too bound by norms. For there to have been an unauthorized leak, the information likely would have had to be outside the DOJ, ie in Congress, but it wasn't.
  25. I believe this was 100% Klein's doing and once the actual authors learned of it, did the right thing, possibly after reacquiring rights from Klein, as often happens wi superstars. That's why I put "the Stones" in quotes.
