If I called a conservative talk radio show and told them there’s a player on my son’s high school basketball who identifies as a dog, how long would it take before they realized I was summarizing the movie Air Bud?

It’s a weird feeling.

X is EX?

So am I. "a state's legitimate interest in protecting the integrity and practical functioning of the political process permits it to exclude from the ballot candidates who are constitutionally prohibited from assuming office."

Among other things I discussed with NPR how Kari Newell becoming the most famous drunk driver in American history is a non-defamation version of the Streisand Effect. Though it also falls solidly within the ambit of Fuck Around and Find Out.

Pretty sure they can’t use that last part.

And to support the Marion County Record: they charge $8.50 for a 1-week classified ad that will appear in it and two other papers. The web page to buy an ad is as charmingly 1996 as the rest of their website. https://marionrecord.com/credit/classified:

What hope have they with an Attorney General like Kris Kobach. I believe it’s in Wapo tonight online but not nearly prominent enough.

Police stage 'chilling' raid on Marion County newspaper, seizing computers, records and cellphones -... In an unprecedented raid Friday, local law enforcement seized computers, cellphones and reporting materials from the Marion County Record office, the newspaper's reporters, and the publisher's home.

It would be great if absolutely everybody can help this story go viral, and get higher-level media attention, to contribute to the social and legal utter annihilation of every cop, judge, and politician involved.

Beautifully said Ken. The news about Sinéad knocked the wind out of me. It took an hour before the tears came. The silence here around what took her from us is palpable. Perhaps noone wants to fill the air with speculation about her that all too many were so happy to do with glee when she was alive.

I just wish I could do some sort of merge over. It is hopeful though, I agree.

More than 10x what I got paid to write 2 episodes for Netflix that was the foundation for everything & everyone designed, built, hired and filmed, and one of those series just got 7 Emmy nominations.

He is the almost the worst person in the world quite honestly. He needs to pay that kid.

I am so very sad pup. She was a troubled woman but gave us back so much. She was before her time truly. She suffered more than most and that pain was evident in her sometimes gut wrenching music. I will miss her.
