Oh, Politico. It's a rite of passage as a journalist when your filler text makes it past your breaking-news brain and a stressed copy editor and into print/online publication. And this is pretty innocuous, as errors go. Curious the total vote tally, though. 😅

@scottfromRP @QOTRmovie tf are you talking about? Same for Oppenheimer.

@scottfromRP @QOTRmovie Did you miss where this is a true story about a female wrestler from the 1930’s-50’s who’s in the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame? I didn’t realize making a biopic about a legendary athlete is “forcing it.”

@IcedViews @PicturesFoIder Jesus Christ. The schools that have cat litter or something similar use it to clean up vomit or spills or accidents. No one has litter boxes for “furry” students to use. I imagine it could also be useful in the case of lockdowns (you know, which are much more common than furries)

Christmas Eve snow in Manhattan made the Rockefeller Tree magical. Everybody who skated there in the early slots got a gorgeous scene.

Apparently Millbury isn’t a town literally adjoining Worcester, the second biggest city in New England. It’s “50 miles southwest of Boston.” (And even the “south” part is a bit of a stretch) 🤷‍♂️

@sewistwrites 7YO is fiiiiiiinally moving past that stage. She primarily used size to differentiate for the longest time. Two dinosaurs were Big Ra (the sound a dino makes, obv) and Yiddow Ra. The Tiger family was (is still) Big Tiger, Little Tiger, Medium Tiger, Tiny Tiger, Santa Tiger.

@sewistwrites DO NOT SLANDER 1995. It gets literally EVERYTHING right, righter even than Jane got it. I actually think she traveled to the future, helped create the movie, then went back to her timeline and adapted it for print and tweaked it to their sensibilities.

@laurenclaff It was my first time going there, and first aurora, and I'm SO GLAD I went!

@dreamarlowe85 Is the opinion in essence saying that only removal until the end of the judge's term is appropriate under "removal?" I'll need to read closer and see if that's stated anywhere.

[Dave Thompson @davethompson77]

The Kentucky Supreme Court has partially affirmed and partially reversed the JCC's removal of former Circuit Judge Jamie Jameson. 🧵

(Hi, Kentucky. Did ya miss me?)

[Dave Thompson @davethompson77]

@dreamarlowe85 I can post personal opinions now that I'm not a reporter. I'm a little confused that, in seeking to add clarity to the JCC powers, they ... didn't add clarity. If permanent removal is too much, what is NOT too much? 50-year removal? Ordering community service to be reinstated?

[Dave Thompson @davethompson77]

And in the words of Ian Malcolm: "Well, there it is."

KY Supreme Court upholds the bulk of the JCC's findings, says Jameson's actions warranted removal, but says the JCC doesn't have powers of permanent removal. End 🧵

[Dave Thompson @davethompson77]

Bisig says Jameson's "deliberate course of action resulting in several instances of misconduct, the breadth of charges against him, and his unwillingness to understand how his actions undermine faith in the judiciary" warrant more than an effective two-month suspension.
