Yes, Missouri Gov. Mike Parson pardoned both McCloskeys on July 30, because America has a history of ignoring[.]

It just so happens that more often than not, cases of deadly police encounters involve Black victims, hence the focus of the Black Lives Matter movement.

(The Washington Post notes that the Border Patrol chief claims agents were holding long horse reins).

The guy on house arrest is pond scum. That asshole is looking for an easy payday—and if he doesn’t get it, and the law is struck down, he’ll try to say he was part of the victory.

It’s more of a metaphorical bounty, in that the person who files civil suit and wins can collect $10k from the defendant.

It’s going to end up in the same place no matter what, you know? SCOTUS will accept cert as soon as someone files, and that’ll be that. Stopping by an intermediary court of appeal on the way up is practically a formality.

It’s not that bizarre for a person to be sued by someone outside the state that they’re living in—State Courts are courts of general jurisdiction, so they can hear cases in a variety of instances, subject to the Defendant (or some property of the Defendant’s) being found within the Court’s jurisdiction (admittedly, thi…

If they’re suing the doctor, and he’s a party, you wouldn’t subpoena his records, since subpoenas are for third parties. What you would do is serve rogs, and depose the doctor, or other witnesses. Any sensitive materials could be kept under seal, or even reviewed in camera to make sure only the evidence necessary to…

not at all challenging, easy to consume.

I see you’ve heard of Calvin Ball!

Is there any precedent for publishing royal wills? I would think it would matter whether the public had a preexisting, or traditional expectation to see the will.

Dude really knows how to cover his ass like a pro.

get a hospital bed ready for the hollywood exec who tells Lizzo they’re going to use her beautiful body as a prop for fat jokes.

This is the best take.

I would absolutely watch a Lizzo/Evans Bodyguard remake, but I think the issue is that Hollywood would probably not just do a regular, over-the-plate remake. A woman with Lizzo’s body type, paired with someone like Chris Evans (who is this buff action guy,) is the sort of thing Hollywood seems inclined to play for…

But they do all that stuff because they profit off it. You’re divorcing the cause from the effect to separate the two.

They don’t care. Let’s look at the thing that FB has done that are worse than “profiting from X bad thing”:

At some point or another, I’m sure someone said this same thing, but about Basquiat (and today we would find that person to be a boorish snob.) I think it’s the tendency of every generation to think their art, and the art that preceded theirs, to be less frivolous, and more meritorious/profound/artful/legitimate, that…

I’m rarely going to take attendance at an event like this, on its own, as terribly damning unto itself. The fact is that we are living in the age of no-holds-barred elections, where there’s no top-dollar limit on donations, and AOC is pretty deeply unpopular with the majority of the Democrats’ donor class. The MET…

Facebook is the greatest engine for advertising maybe ever. Given the way the site works, you can reduce anything anyone does on the platform down to some dollar amount, because even if something is not an actual/literal ad, every comment, post, share, etc., is an instance of engagement which (statistically at least,)…
