I don’t really see how it contradicts. Paragraph 2 was primarily theoretical while 3 questions the use of defund rhetoric while in a situation involving someone who is believed to have performed a crime but has yet to go to trial. You can acknowledge that the criminal justice system as a whole is horribly flawed while…

Did you look it up or do it from memory?

The main thing Borders had in common with Tower was that both companies got investment and over expanded in the 90's, only to collapse in the mid 2000's, leaving many malls with big empty stores.

I remember Borders. It was pretty cool. Not Tower cool. It was a little more expensive but better than most music retailers for selection and they carried imports.

“Man murders wife when she is asleep and is arrested by police”

Yes, yes. I said it anyway.

I think at this point in time we’re not sure what length of skirt Mr. Moranis was wearing, so we’re not sure if he was asking for it.

If Lone Starr were responsible, he would have punched him in the schwarz.

I think Lone Starr has a little too much class to attack his father’s brother’s nephew’s cousin’s former roommate without provocation.

I still get the sneaking suspicion that Lone Starr is behind all this.

Actually, it’s exactly “hey, they arrested the guy who punched Rick Moranis.” What else would it be? Do you think you’d have written about it if it were “random homeless dude attacks random old guy?” No you would not have.

“It’s unclear if the attack was really completely unprovoked...”

“It’s unclear if the attack was really completely unprovoked...”

Only until someone clotheslines Martin Short.

I’ll give you this, Sam: if you’re intentionally trying to shirk jury duty, this bizarre take is something I’d suggest that you print out and bring with you for the next time you’re summoned. Even a 24 year old ADA a couple months out of law school would never let you get empaneled after this.

It’s not that complicated. He assaulted a stranger. Thankfully Moranis wasn’t critically injured, or killed. That he was arrested is a good thing.

Never drank the Tower Kool-Aid. Yes, they had a lot of shit. A lot of...shit. I can think of a half dozen indie stores that far smaller and far better curated inventories. They were just Bed Bath & Beyond with music.

that’s Empire not Tower

The appeal of Tower was that they would stock obscure, hard-to-find things that no one else did. The Internet also serves this purpose, with or without Tower. While I’ve missed the brand, this feels redundant.

Who is their market exactly? If it’s online it’s presumably the whole US? Not sure what they’re after. Like who needs a vinyl from them specifically?
