I’m sure she’ll be brought in alive, that always seems to happen with white people.

“authorities are currently working with Wood “to bring her into custody.”” She hasn’t been booked yet, so there’s no mugshot to use.

The Baltimore cops were charged with “depraved heart” (aka depraved indifference) murder, so neither premeditation nor malice needed to be proven. It’s essentially super-manslaughter, although a lot of the commentary I’ve seen thinks it was still an overcharge.

Not a lawyer, but from what I understand it takes more than some talk show appearances to be public figure as far as defamation law is concerned. And being an involuntary figure, at least originally, would also make things less clear. It’s not a slamdunk win for CBS, is my point.

Not necessarily. If the court considers Burke a “private figure” rather than public, proving actual malice isn’t required.

Game recognize game, I suppose.

The book is fantastic and much more detailed, if you can tolerate more.

And the pill addiction.

IIRC the confederate flag provision was in regards to flying it in national cemeteries, that is, where many of our war dead are buried.

This is a bit of a red herring - the EP only applied to states in open rebellion because it was issued under the president’s war powers. A president can’t generally pass new legislation by executive order in peacetime.

Obama was only the fifth (of either sex) and 2 of those were appointed during reconstruction rather than elected by the population.

Non-Hispanic whites are only 63% of the US, so assuming all those white senators are not also Hispanic, it's even more skewed.

Mobil’s an American company - you may recognize them more readily as ExxonMobil. Both them and Chevron are grandchild companies of standard oil. Shell’s a subsidiary of a Dutch multinational if that matters to you at all.

Ah, thanks for clarifying that.

It is explicitly illegal to ask about disability. The rest are terribly imprudent (since you can't legally act on the information) but perfectly legal

Caveat that I’m not an expert on this case, but it appears that it was not a stillbirth as the Jez article says. Or at least the state successfully argued that it wasn’t actually a stillbirth and the fetus/baby was born alive. So presumably the neglect charge flows from that.

Per AP, a child neglect conviction, although a lower level than the original neglect conviction.

Use of the passive-aggressive approach in Minnesota should never shock you. It's our official state hobby.

We have the licensed Uber drivers here, too - it’s how they started, in fact. Uber Black is all limo companies/car services/liveries. In my city, Uber Black is about the same price as a cab but I use it because it’s more convenient and doesn’t require interacting with a taxi dispatcher, the worst people ever.

I cobbled it together from the drugstore recommendations on Paula’s Choice: salicylic acid cleaner, Paula’s Choice toner, and Yes to Carrots sunscreen in the morning, Neutrogena Naturals cleanser, Persa Gel, and Clinique moisturizer at night. I’m thinking of adding an AHA exfoliant.
