I knew this day would come.
Deciding to be childfree should always be a deep conviction. So that in twenty years time, when it’s no longer an option for you, and the guy you did no-kids with has a child with a younger woman, your conviction will still be as firm as ever, with no regrets.
Watching veteran defense attorney Kevin Reddington navigate cross-examination in the high-stakes Lindsay Clancy trial is as @defense_diaries termed it “a masterclass” in trial advocacy. In a case defined by immense tragedy and complex medical definitions, Reddington’s performance reveals exactly what constitutes an excellent lawyer: total command on cross, and with economy of words, he contextualizes evidence in a way that neutralizes the testimony of many of the state’s witnesses. Rather than relying on courtroom theatrics, Reddington leverages a calculated, surgical approach to dismantle the prosecution’s narrative and implant his version of events directly into the minds of the jury. It's impressive to watch it.
Did Jason Arday’s PhD examiners actually read his thesis? And did the electors who appointed him to a Cambridge professorship read his work?
The questions raised by this affair go well beyond plagiarism.

People always ask me where the tan suit came from. I think it’s time the truth finally came out.
Tune in to the series finale of Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Unhappiness on @HBOMax.
People talk because it’s easier to run their mouths than to actually read. If you really want to understand and hear from those directly involved, you should go through this article. #LindsayClancy

@RepDeFiFidonia “Yo sabía en lo que me estaba metiendo pero quería ser la abogada más chingona” dice la mujer en el video, que ahora llora porque unos lacras con los que trabajaba, a sabiendas de lo que eran, ahora la quieren chingar.
Aujourd’hui est ta dernière danse.
Toi qui nous as tant donné.
Nous aurions dû t’offrir une meilleure fin, mais nous avons échoué.
Mettre des mots sur ce que tu as apporté pendant 14 ans est très difficile, tant tu as été un acteur majeur du renouveau de cette équipe. Les gens n’ont pas toujours su apprécier ta grandeur, mais le temps et l’histoire s’en chargeront…
Merci de m’avoir donné la chance et l’opportunité de représenter mon pays sur la plus grande scène pendant tant d’années.
Je me sens privilégié d’avoir pu être aux côtés de l’une des plus grandes légendes de notre pays, et je ne garde que d’excellents souvenirs de tout ce que nous avons vécu et accompli ensemble.
Je te souhaite le meilleur dans ta nouvelle aventure, et encore merci pour tout ce que tu as apporté à ce maillot qui compte tant pour nous.

At a time when millions of Americans are finding it harder to pay for groceries, housing and healthcare, when the climate crisis is causing record heatwaves and forest fires, Donald Trump felt it appropriate tonight to spew conspiracy theories about the 2020 election.
Pathetically, in true authoritarian fashion, he even threatened to revoke the licenses of ABC and NBC because they would not cover his speech. Insane.
Too many Americans have fought and died to defend American democracy.
All of us, regardless of our political views, must stand together against this dangerous president who is seeking to undermine our Constitution and our basic freedoms.
Dual citizenship US-Mexico right here. Anyone who becomes American knows the oath: loyalty to the country and the flag. Being president of another country is definitely a conflict of interest. But who cares, I’m not Colombian. 😏
