I was a prosecutor in Upper Marlboro for around eight years, several of which were in Juvenile. I didn’t do adult truancy much - the Juvenile Chief handled them, primarily - but I handled some of them when she needed help. My time in Juvenile was the saddest in my career, watching these young people who desperately…

Musk cultists are something else, holy shit

It is so glorious watching his meltdown in real time.

If there’s anything I’ve learned from working in politics and government for the past 20 years, it’s that zero tolerance policies rarely exist in everyday work life. Just because HR says there’s zero tolerance doesn’t mean there actually is, and I can assure you no HR office makes it a priority to find out.

Does this mean Deadpool 2 has an original song for Oscar contention?

As a fan of the show (low expectations, kids; it saves everything), the daily casting news just gets better and better.

Ditto. I’m not looking to walk out of the movie with a new perspective on life. I just want to see giant robots punch giant monsters.

Danielewski posted on his facebook page a few days ago about the discussions he had last year with a “big streaming company” about adapting the book into a series, but the deal never came to be. He is supposedly going to post soon the draft for the pilot on the HOL reading club facebook page

Step 1. Avoid sites that talk about Walking dead
Step 2. Catch up to walking dead

Having seen it last night I’d describe it thusly...

The movie was great.

I burned through the first book in a single sitting (less so, the other two) and, while it sounds like they probably took a lot of liberties with plot points, it sounds like they got the tone and the essence of it pretty spot-on. All during my reading of it, I got the feeling that trying to adapt it too closely would…
