Carroll's case is federal, this one is New York State.

I am right now sitting on a Steelcase Series 1, and while it doesn't have great lumbar support, it is far better than any shitty $150 "gaming" chair, and is right in your price range brand new.

Tangent story, I was in Manitowoc, WI, on a motorcycle trip. In WWII, they built submarines there, and they have a US submarine at a museum on the lake.

You might remember Manitowoc as being the area where Making A Murderer happened. Turns out that series only gives a light impression of the local accent there. The tour guide for that submarine sounded like he was speaking a completely different language from English.

I am definitely curious as to how this impacts his Georgia plea agreement.

Edit: He is in violation of his Georgia plea agreement.

Each of those (especially the platonic relationship one) would be a different story, even if they would all be first and foremost "love stories."

If the sexual orientation and origin of the characters don’t make a difference in the story, ...

I would argue that the sexual orientation of the characters does make a difference in the story.

They're living in a world with little trust, and they have to overcome that. Neither one can be sure that the other is trustworthy, and won't kill them when they're not looking. And they have to overcome the remaining stigma of same-sex relationships, which could end very badly in the same way. They are both walking through two minefields, in a way which is different from how a similar heterosexual story would play out. Maybe?

It is definitely first and foremost a love story, but it's not only a love story, and looking away from other aspects does a disservice to everyone.

That's so reddit.

 

That's what my brain wants to know.

Edit: I know you would die, but I need someone to put together a Mythbusters-esque test with a pig stomach or something.

More important edit: DO NOT DO THIS DUMBASSES

The character Archie Bunker in All In The Family was originally offered to Mickey Rooney, who declined. Carroll O'Connor lived in Europe, and accepted the role only because he thought the show would fail and he could go home, so much so that part of his contract with Norman Lear included a return plane ticket to Rome so that he could fly back when it failed

 

Original Documents
Original Documents (kbin link)

While journalism is certainly valuable for adding context and insight around news stories of the day, it's also important to have the documents being referred to at hand. This enables you to find bits that don't come up in reporting, and compare the reporting to what was actually written or said.

At present, my posts have been centered on the many high-profile trials going on in the US, as there tends to be both a large amount of documents and reporting thereon. But there is no intention to restrict content to that.

 

First footnote:

The government also asks the court to incorporate the Order into Defendant’s conditions of release. Resp. in Opp’n to Mot. to Stay, ECF No. 120, at 30–32. The court hereby DENIES that request without prejudice. Even assuming that request is procedurally proper, the court concludes that granting it is not necessary to effectively enforce the Order at this time.

Trump's conditions of release are not modified.

 

Vice President Harris began her remarks at an event with the Australian prime minister by addressing the shootings in Lewiston, Maine, that killed at least 1...

 

Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., addressed the shootings in Lewiston, Maine, that killed at least 18 people, calling it a “horrific tragedy.”

 

Robert Card is now officially a suspect.

Liam Kent, a Maine resident who is familiar with Robert Card, the person of interest in the Lewiston shootings, said that Card and his family are "gun fanatics." He also went on to claim that people around town knew to "stay away" from the family.

 

Ellis flips.

  • Five years' probation
  • $5000 restitution
  • Apology to the People of the State of Georgia
  • Testimony cooperation agreement

The charge she is pleading guilty to is "aiding and abetting false statements and writings," in relation to the Dec 3, 2020, presentation before the Georgia State Senate committee, where Guiliani and others presented false testimony that:

  • 96,000+ mail in ballots were counted falsely
  • 2500 convicted felons voted,
  • 66,000+ underage people voted,
  • almost 2500 non-registered people voted
  • 1000+ people voted registered using a PO box
  • 10,315 dead people voted
  • Fulton County election workers ordered a poll watcher and media to leave and continued to count votes

Ms. Ellis makes a statement to the court at ~17:00, which appears to be her apology statement to the People of the State of Georgia.

At the end of the proceedings, defense requests that Ms. Ellis be allowed to travel out of state prior to the probation being transferred to her state of residence (Florida). The State does not oppose this, and the exception is granted.

In short, Giuliani is ordered to compensate plaintiffs for their legal fees in connection with the three motions filed by plaintiffs to compel discovery, which Giuliani has been loathe to produce.

Highlights:

The jury will be instructed that it must, when determining an appropriate sum of compensatory, presumed, and punitive damages, infer that defendant Giuliani was intentionally trying to hide relevant discovery about the Giuliani Businesses’ finances for the purpose of shielding his assets from discovery and artificially deflating his net worth.
The jury will be instructed that it must, when determining an appropriate sum of compensatory, presumed, and punitive damages, infer that defendant Giuliani was intentionally trying to hide relevant discovery about the viewership of Common Sense and his social media reach for the purpose of artificially deflating the reach of his defamatory statements.

 

I figured some people might need dadforaminute. Just made it, so you would need to search for it to find it in search on your instance.

Happy Father's Day!
