The Times article referenced testimony from Stephon Marbury, who testified that he had banged an intern after a group outing to a strip club, as evidence of a hostile and dysfunctional environment.

Fun fact: This dude’s idiot fundie predecessors added this line in 1954s to teach the Godless commies a lesson, or some such nonsense.

I want to parse this out because this is somehow even crazier to me now than it was yesterday.

A written statement to the police by a witness is inadmissible hearsay?

More the latter. :-/

That handwritten letter from his son detailing the abuse in sickening detail...that’s totally admissible here, right? Along with most everything else covered here on Deadspin leading up to the fight? Seems like this suit might actually have a shot, no?

What do you do if the other team is walking a lot and the score remains competitive?

Ultron has spent the whole movie being pretty really transparent about destroying all humans, and hasn’t really talked to the twins besides ordering them to steal valuable minerals from Africa (get in line, dickhead) and beat up the Avengers, but still becomes verrrrryyyyyyyy emotional when they turn on him after they…

These novels all sound familiar...

yeah, i hate capital letters, too. they’re full of toxins and noxious chemicals. you know who capitalizes their names? fucking Monsanto, that’s who. big food fucking love capital letters.

Strange...on the "Other sellers" page it says Amazon is selling at $167. Seems to be in stock, too.

I went to Subway the other day. Only had 10 minutes to eat before we had to go check out an apartment. The apartment sucked, but the Italian Herb and Cheese left in my teeth after I finished a hastily thrown together Bacon/Turkey/Ranch thing with shredded lettuce and/or newspaper tasted pretty great. I especially…

I work for a foreclosure firm. Sorry, but this is very bad advice.

I’ve had similar issues with a couple of Amazon Basics HDMI cables. The connection just started to crap out periodically, and swapping the cables was an immediate fix. Haven’t had any reason to try other Amazon Basics cables, but I know we’ve purchased other Basics items and been perfectly happy with them.

That's my general take as well. Only so much you can do, I guess.

What's the "Adequate Man"-approved way to confront someone who you think may be violating one of these rules? Because in confined spaces, sometimes it seems like confrontation would be a good idea. Often it's just some idiot who clearly put their bag on the seat next to them when the bus/T was empty and has zoned out,…

Oh God, your comment has me flashing back to when I was a kid. I have no memory of the car itself aside from the keys - round for doors, square for ignition - despite the fact that it was the only car I was permitted to drive at 16-17.

Well, in this case I would consider the casing in his rental car and joint at the scene of the crime to be a bit more than circumstantial...or at least, I wish there was a better word for this kind of evidence, where - literally - the only other conceivable explanation involves a conspiracy enacted by unknown parties.

It is what it is. Heh the fact is, I can’t think of a practical, definitively superior alternative to a trial by jury. I can think of plenty of laws that I’d like to change, but the trial process itself? I got nothing, aside from maybe working harder to bring in jurors from farther away when we’ve got a high profile…
