Did you ever drink Baileys from a shoe?

The media is avoiding it...like all the media cited in this post? Or the NY Times article today discussing many of the points in those articles? Or the OP article? I'm so tired of news outlets reporting on news outlets. The news isn't news, I want actual news about events.

WTF is life coaching? Have a facebook acquaintance who did some class and calls herself one, after being a yoga instructor. Like--why would you take advice from a person of middling success? Is it just another MLM where people calling themselves life coaches teach other people to be life coaches so they can teach more life coaches?

Site exists, but it's part of the schtick. It's Alan Wagner, @truewagner on insta.

He never had to take the stand in the first >place. He didn't even have to be in the courtroom.

I thought he did have to take the stand, but didn't have to be there for the rest of the trial. AFAIK he's compelled to testify (or take the fifth, but he and the kids have to do one or the other).

Seriously though, why did Jesus curse that fig tree? He could be weirdly petty.

BTW, myrrh had lots of uses besides embalming.

This is a ridiculous take. The plea deal was in a Georgia state RICO case, the rioters were tried in federal courts for totally different crimes. Powell, Cheese Bro, et al. still face charges in Jack Smith's inquiry.

"Flood the internet" apparently means making shit for other trolls and posting it on an image board for trolls.

I'm really surprised the DA took this to trial. I can't imagine a jury in the US that would have returned a conviction.

"Stadtliche luft macht man frei" is an old German saying. City air makes you free. Life in a small town can be stifling. That close-knit family wants you to be just like them. God forbid you want to do or see anything new. The moving-to-a-big-city trope is as old as cinema, and has strong roots in reality.

Yes. But sometimes the shitbirds make enough shit that the shit starts to run uphill, and the staties get involved so some politicians don't have to deal with even more shit.

Most of those skills are somewhat transferable to other consumer electronics and even computer hardware to some extent. Hopefully they did alright.
