On board the Hermione:

This all contrasts nicely with how Jezebel always carefully discusses all the reasons why various writers and editors depart, in great detail and with great transparency.

Swine objects to pearls being thrown at him. Film at 11.

It is a really old news day at Jezebel. Mallory announced this two months ago.

The actual indictment (which I provided) is much more likely to be right than news stories reporting on the contents of the indictment.

This is literally the first time in human history that a prosecutor’s office has said something different from attorneys for the defendant.

Wardlaw says you get to detain, not arrest a person running in a high-crime neighborhood. You still need probable cause to arrest someone after Wardlaw. They falsely arrested Gray for carrying a switchblade when he was plainly carrying a pocketknife. That’s an illegal arrest.

They’re not charged with a crime because they pursued Gray for running in a high-crime neighborhood (as odious as Illinois v. Wardlow is). They’re charged with a crime because they caused his death after illegally arresting him.

He wasn’t charged with blackmail, because extortion laws generally exclusively target the person seeking the money, not the payor.

Rarely has one man been so wrong about so much to the harm of so many.

It is not a coincidence that essentially all the people on the list were very young at the time of their crimes. Part of that has to do with the fact that young people are much more likely to get lighter sentences and to still be reasonably young when released. But part is also that bad acts done at a young age are…

It seemed fairly clear to me that the comment was that the monsoons would bring similar flooding to what was seen in Texas, but that because of lack of infrastructure and dense population the death toll would be multiple orders of magnitude worse than the deaths in Texas, comparing flooding in Texas to flooding in…

Many young kids will get far more upset and cry more if restrained in a seat. Obviously, this is working for her. I don’t know why everyone feels like they need to offer “the correct” option. Whatever is working for her and is not unreasonably dangerous is the right answer for her and her kid.

I mean, most of my flying experience is spent trying to watch a movie, read a book, or fall asleep, all while generally ignoring everything that’s happening on either side of my armrests. Air travel is something you endure, unless you travel first class. Air travel is not going to become suddenly fun when kids aren’t…

But 1,000 people weren’t killed in Texas. 17 were. So, three orders of magnitude would be 10-> 100 -> 1000 -> 10,000.

What’s even more frightening is that law enforcement officials can’t keep up with the drug that’s sold in such small doses and so quickly that it’s in danger of destroying several low-income neighborhoods

Probably the most common term used in US broadcasts is the “heat index” which measures the heat in relation to the humidity.

No, it doesn’t. One order of magnitude means a multiple of ten. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_…

Here’s your problem: “opening yourself up to legal trouble” — the word “yourself” puts the reader in the place of the employer. Yes, an attorney advising an employer would probably counsel them to never ask those questions. But you’ve written an article directed at applicants.
