Can you imagine the playground teasing he got as a kid? Of course, it could be worse; Montana has a state court judge named F@gg.

I beg to slightly differ. I work in a federal public defender's office in Montana; we're a small office, but we see two to six fraud cases a year. They're just generally smaller-scale. A good example of the type of fraud case we see is US v. George Manlove (we weren't involved). Big deal in local papers, dozens of…

He gets some time, 24 months or less, but sentence is stayed pending appeal, which drags on for years then remanded for retrial, which hangs, then a second retrial, where he's convicted, with time-served, then Dancing With the Stars.

I, for one, think its good that federal prisons have less murder and sexual assault.

You're pretty much right. The court's probation office will prepare a report using the United States Sentencing Guidelines Manual. Its like a D&D Manual for lawyers. Based on the specific offense conduct of the crimes, the Manual will calculate an offense level. That number, measured against his criminal history…

"How the Klingon Got His Ridges: a Spacesop Fable."

Grey Worm only has one day left until retirement; also, he's getting too old for this shit.

Apparently every other human being was unavailable.

"I'll be late, I'm yelling at people on the internet."

I agree that it's worthwhile to think about those things. The problem I have is twofold: one, it expands the scope of the work beyond its intent. This isn't a movie about WW2 or Dunkirk; those are its settings. It's a movie about a handful of white British men, and their struggle to survive and escape a siege. The…

Big whoop; apparently, Kidd Creole just stabbed a dude to death. https://www.nytimes.com/201…

Can't believe a reboot took this long.

Ratatouille is reasonably close, in that it's overwhelmingly busy and staffed by students and ex-cons. But as a children's movie, it leaves out the profanity, cocaine, and random sexual encounters.

So, its like a Zal Batmanglij movie come to life.

I rewatched the original run in preparation for the return, and was struck by how much I admired Dale Cooper: a patriot but never a xenophobe, a compassionate lawman, loyal, intelligent, funny, and moral with an open mind and open heart. This country could really use that character right now. I hope we get a chance…

Speculation: his "envy" of women is directly related to his cross-dressing "just for fun." He has gender identity issues he hasn't fully confronted and dismisses as a lark, and they manifest as envy.

"Napoleon Complex" refers generally to the idea that short men are full of insecurity and try to make up for it with aggression and belligerence. "Christie Complex" should mean the same thing for fat-asses.

Listening to it feels like being a teenager: sad, horny, frustrated, embarrassed, confused.

I'm in Montana, they aren't any cheaper here. If you can even find them.

Smoky outside, so I stayed in with X-Files and Zelda.
