Sorry if pedantic, but the charges are brought by the state, so the headline is kinda incoherent.

I do not think you know how words or the American civil justice system work.

You said “blame,” not “legal liability,” so you’re moving the goalposts. That said, there are certainly legal requirements regarding emergency facilities at large events. Without reading the complaint, based on this article, I imagine the family is alleging those are the laws that the festival owner broke.

He is to blame for taking the drugs, the festival is allegedly to blame for not treating him properly after.

It can be two things.

Also of course kershaw’s next paycheck doesn’t mean much to him.

Is Laura Wagner any relation to that Kyle Wagner guy on 538 who took a gratuitous cheapshot at Burneko because math means something different to him?

Who paid for the Trump boys weddings at Mar-a-Lago?

So Trump definitely forced his children to get married at Mar-a-Lago while charging them rack rate, right?

Nope, just pointing out that the gulf beteeen them is 29-0, which is ridiculous.

Isn’t 78-2 objectively and significantly better than 49-2?

I’m sorry, but you have no idea what you’re talking about. As a lawyer taking a deposition, you want the witness to go on as many tangents as they want, spewing as much nonsense as they want. It cannot possibly hurt you and may help you. If you are deposed, the only lawyer who will stop you from talking about anything…

At first I thought Garth Brooks’s alter ego from 10 years ago was writing a book and I was confused but at least I knew who it was.

As it should be. If they had canceled before people flew down, I would be fine with only civil actions. Once people were stuck on the island when the organizers knew the festival could not possibly happen, that’s when I think they must be punished criminally.

Presumably Netflix can now pay the actors enough to make this a priority and not a favor so they can be in scenes together and it won’t be awful. Also hopefully they won’t pay Ron Howard so each episode isn’t 14 minutes of narration.

I am confused. It doesn’t say African proverb, it says proverb. Isn’t it definitionally a proverb?

You could’ve hit “Cancel” instead of “Publish” and nobody ever would’ve known.

I dunno, michelle obama and Elena Kagan seem to have some common sense.

Excuse me! He owns a professional sports team, so it’s Mr. Alexander to you.

Serious question — I thought the Deadspin (or maybe GMG) policy was to write “died by suicide” rather than “committed suicide.” Does that only apply to good people?
