Jason — My brother was the victim in this crash. Please contact me if you would like to confirm this. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your work on this case. Is there any way you can keep me updated on what the Jalopnik community discovers?

So, just to sum up, the NFL doesn’t want this doctor to be hired because they question his “objectivity”, which is rooted in a dispute where he wanted to compensate all those who objectively had CTE based on scientific data, rather than those that fit into a definition negotiated by lawyers?

A Heartbreaking Tale of Staggering Genius
(that book was complete shit...)

Or a head of marketing. Oh, wait, is that what you meant by“penetration tester”?

“Less than 100% of her jokes in an 11-year-old movie were funny, so I’m gonna sit this one out.”

.... You can’t be fucking serious. Yeah, she’s had some bad ones —Admission, Baby Mama, etc. — but This Is Where I Leave You was fucking incredible. Ben Schwartzman as the young Rabbi?? Jason Bateman and Fey having some really meaningful dramatic scenes while also having gut-busting... ok, see, now I’m all worked up.

Uhhh... did you see his reaction? He kind of flicks his tongue a little... I’m thinking it’s at least a 50/50

Recently, I was part of a small group that met with Justice Ginsburg at the Supreme Court. When asked what she credited for her success she immediately went to Marty and said something like, “you should all hope to find a partner that values your success as much or more than their own.” It was really very touching.

Hitler had a hell of a lot of charisma. Did terrible things with it, but he really had *it*, ya know?

It’s a serious world out there, and some times you need to give the cold, hard farts.

what the fuuuu.....?? As someone who has been deer hunting, this whole story is just insane. (A) Shoot to kill or don’t shoot, anything less is cruelty; (B) this is why you bring a knife; (C) the drowning deer image will not leave my brain. Thanks, Mark!

Two of the six most important words are the least important word?

That’s actually exactly what happened — until a dust storm blew all the way to the national mall and into the White House in May 1934. The pictures in Ken Burns’ Dust Bowl documentary are astounding.

Well, if you’re going to (a) rely on the Old Testament and (b) interpret it literally, than yeah, I mean I can’t fight you there (Creationism, pillar of salt, giant whale, etc.). I also don’t think that those things “are” Christianity anymore than togas, bears, and wine “are” Greek philosophy. Are they in there?

Don’t confuse some Christians with Christianity. People are not the philosophy they espouse.

The paralegal-lawyer relationship is not unheard of. As a former biglaw paralegal, there were all sorts of rumors of past associate-paralegal pairings, and even one paralegal-partner pair. I don’t know that there are any special considerations here other than typical boss-employee issues and the whole, “don’t tell

Right. See my actual post:

Yeah, when I first saw this and read the Tumblr I was like, “holy shit — what happened??” When it turned out that Crown Vic’s only actions were not helping her and generally being terrible people (glad those involved were deservedly fired) it made me wonder where the whole “you will be roofie/raped/attacked at Crown

Don’t know why I just read this at work. You gave fair warning...
