Hell, yeah! I loved that show. Kolchak was a great character. It's a damn shame it only got one season and so few episodes.

I get your point. What Sonny Tufts seems to be missing is the fact that you don't pick your plaintiffs. Well....sometimes people do. Rosa Parks wasn't the first black women not to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus, but the woman before her was a single mom and back then the left cared about appearances. Fast forward to the 21st century and a druggie who robbed a pregnant woman at gunpoint, but nonetheless was murdered by a cop (no excuse for Chauvin to have his knee on Floyd's neck 2 minutes after Floyd no longer had a pulse), became an international hero for....dying. And it's not like there haven't been more sympathetic black people killed by police. Elijah McClain was just walking home listening to music, wearing a ski mask because of his allergies and he was attacked by police and then overdosed by EMTs with ketamine. That was just a year before George Floyd. But how many people know his name? (I had to look it up). I think Floyd was a matter of timing. It was close enough to affect the 2020 election and far enough away from the First Step Act for all of the goodwill Trump had generated in the black community to have evaporated.

Possible perjury for him having said he didn't have such messages on his phone. Needlessly delaying and driving up the litigation costs by not cooperating with discovery. Disobeying a lawful court order. Yes. The attorney screwed up multiple ways. But it also sounds like Alex didn't tell the truth about whether or not he did any texts about Sandy Hook. There are two possibilities. 1) Alex just "forgot" and his lawyer didn't refresh his memory by helping him search through his own cell phone. 2) AJ didn't want the records out and told his attorney not to turn them over. It's still his attorney's screw up. He should have convinced Alex to turn the records over and explained to him how they would mitigate the situation. The Paul Joseph Watson comment about the COVID dummies and his statement "This is like Sandy Hook" wasn't necessarily fatal to their case. They could have argued that both were examples of unintentional mistakes that were cleared up as soon as possible. Sometimes the best answer is "I don't recall" as opposed to an emphatic "No." But also in this case there was a specific question that Alex could easily check and verify. Further, 99% of the time before you have someone under oath you do written discovery AKA interrogatories and requests for production of documents. Normally you have 30 days to comply though the time often gets extended. So there was probably an interrogatory question on paper that said "Do you send or receive any text messages about Sandy Hook" followed by "produce any text messages you sent or received about Sandy Hook." The lawyer should have found that, told Alex the answer to the interrogatory was "yes" and then created a file with a copy of all of those messages to turn over. Why that didn't happen? That's between Alex and his lawyer.

Civil War - Sound And Fury, Signifying Nothing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-M-fSvtQxk {The Critical Drinker | 15 April 2024} Well, talk about disappointment. I'd hoped Alex Garland's new thriller would have given us a gripping story filled with interesting characters, but instead what we got was a bland, empty collection of scenes with no strong story to tie them together. What a wasted opportunity.

'Rust' armorer sentenced to 18 months in prison for involuntary manslaughter conviction https://www.usatoday.com/story/entertainment/celebrities/2024/04/15/rust-armorer-hannah-gutierrez-reed-sentenced-alec-baldwin/73325809007/ {Taijuan Moorman | 15 April 2024} "Rust" armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed has been sentenced to 18 months in prison after being found guilty of involuntary manslaughter last month in the 2021 shooting death of Halyna Hutchins. Though Alec Baldwin, 66, pulled the trigger, a jury found Gutierrez-Reed had erroneously loaded a live round into a revolver he was using on the Santa Fe, New Mexico, movie set. Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer addressed phone calls Gutierrez-Reed made from jail, citing comments she made to family and friends as evidence she had failed to take accountability.

The aft pressure bulkhead is kind of important ... The Worst Single Aircraft Disaster In History https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUzAmkp7iQw&t=15s {Mayday: Air Disaster | 13 August 2021} August 12, 1985 - It was supposed to be a brief flight from Tokyo's Haneda Airport to Osaka for the 509 passengers on board the Boeing 747. Five minutes after taking off, the flight crew report that the plane's in distress. The plane had suffered a failure of its rear pressure bulkhead at the back of the cabin. The pilots could no longer operate the flying controls and worse, the plane is plunging up and down. For 30 minutes, the seasoned pilots struggled to tame the runaway jet and shortly after, the plane ploughed into the slopes of Mt. Osutaka, not far from Tokyo. All but 4 passengers are killed making it the worst air disaster involving a single aircraft in the history of commercial aviation.

Ana Kasparian Visits Hell https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2aEX9U0FCM {A Special Place in Hell | 15 March 2024} Inexplicably, the girls/women are graced by the Edward R. Murrow of YouTube punditry, the lovely Ana Kasparian, executive producer and co-host of the long-running political commentary show The Young Turks. Ana guides us through the old and new media landscapes and shares the alarming experience at the root of her heterodox awakening. The girls/women share their frustrations with the Left (a first!) and wonder whether friendships discourage intellectual honesty (except the one with their new bestie Ana of course!!!). Finally, the hosts receive some tips on improving their grift.

Warp Drives: New Simulations https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZC65Q3F_Mk {Sabine Hossenfelder | 14 April 2024} Hyperjumps, wormholes, and warp drives sound like science fiction, but they’re actually based on real science! Though I believe out of the three, warp drives are the most plausible. The math seems to agree. Today I want to tell you about a new way of analysing and visualizing warp drives.

Of all the lies NPR and other leftists peddled, this is the one I find the most shocking. Politics also intruded into NPR’s Covid coverage, most notably in reporting on the origin of the pandemic. One of the most dismal aspects of Covid journalism is how quickly it defaulted to ideological story lines. For example, there was Team Natural Origin—supporting the hypothesis that the virus came from a wild animal market in Wuhan, China. And on the other side, Team Lab Leak, leaning into the idea that the virus escaped from a Wuhan lab. The lab leak theory came in for rough treatment almost immediately, dismissed as racist or a right-wing conspiracy theory. Anthony Fauci and former NIH head Francis Collins, representing the public health establishment, were its most notable critics. And that was enough for NPR. We became fervent members of Team Natural Origin, even declaring that the lab leak had been debunked by scientists. But that wasn’t the case. When word first broke of a mysterious virus in Wuhan, a number of leading virologists immediately suspected it could have leaked from a lab there conducting experiments on bat coronaviruses. This was in January 2020, during calmer moments before a global pandemic had been declared, and before fear spread and politics intruded.

"One screen, two many movies." It all depends on what narrative "filters" one adopts. And such "filters" are not objectively provable. They are the presuppositions that make subsequent "proofs" possible.

Plaintiff's attorney : Mr. Jones, we have text messages that your lawyer accidentally sent to me of the very discovery that you said you didn't have. Alex Jones: I guess you've got your Perry Mason moment. Alex Jones' lawyers thought bubble : "Man we screwed up! And we didn't object based on privilege so it's a double screw up."

THREAD: Rand Paul and the COVID cover-up

Elections actually are "quaint mechanisms that we can't trust" - even when they are entirely "on the level". As Gideon Tucker famously wrote, "No man's life, liberty or property are safe while the Legislature is in session" - nor while the polls are open, I would add. (Alexis de Tocqueville had a good deal more to say on the matter, as well.) Whether it's "too adult" a thing to expect or not, it's certainly too much of a thing to expect. In any case, Kennedy has too much unlibertarian baggage to be anything but just another "lesser evil". However, I will gladly leave it to others to parse out to their own satisfaction which of the available evils is less than the rest. It doesn't really matter, because Anti Federalist is right: we aren't voting our way out of this - and neither Trump nor Kennedy nor anyone else is coming to save us. (If there is anything "too adult" to expect enough people to understand, I dare say it is that.)

A quote-tweeted reply to the tweet quoted above: https://twitter.com/wesyang/status/1779555690492608805 to: https://twitter.com/wesyang/status/1779679867795042410 {Wesley Yang @wesyang | 14 April 2024} It's only very recently that it became high status for women who look like this to indulge in signaling like this. Such scathing contempt for high-end retail consumption! Such heartfelt concern for the expressive rights of the marginalized! It's how you get to be CEO of NPR.
