Kyle Clark asked Colorado GOP candidate for governor Victor Marx whether voters should believe he’s lived "one of the most extraordinary lives in human history," or whether he’s "a liar and a fraud."

John Oliver: “That might be the first event in history won by the moderator.”

In Imbler v. Pachtman (creating prosecutorial immunity), the Supreme Court claimed "our earlier decisions on §1983 immunities were not products of judicial fiat that officials in different branches of government are differently amenable to suit under §1983."

I strongly disagree.

Guess it's not at all concerning that Homan is saying peaceful protestors are subject to facial recognition scans fed into some sort of database that allows the government to identify them for <checks notes> exercising their constitutional rights 🙃

[Hugh Laurie @hughlaurie]

Thanks for your critique, Janet. We actually tried a couple of episodes where House (Hugh Laurie) (please put the brackets in the right place) gets it right first time, but they were only 6 minutes long. NBC weren’t happy. Then we tried some where House never gets it right and the patient dies. The audience wasn’t happy.

One could apply your trenchant analysis to other art forms: JS Bach wrote 30 Goldberg variations on the same chord structure; Frida Kahlo painted 50 portraits of herself; Henry Moore, what??

The point is, or was, variations on a theme; if all you see is hospital, medical blah blah, then it wasn’t meant for you.

Nonetheless, I look forward to your first novel!

Email directive from Bari Weiss to 60 Minutes executive producer Tanya Simon:

“Can we make the protesters look more violent? […]

The other thing was, Renee Good’s car. You need to describe her as driving toward the officer.”

Since violent drivers are recycling that old trope about how bicyclists need to stop at every stop sign, thought I'd recycle this old story about how drivers went apeshit when we did.

Took a philosophy class that covered assisted dying. One guy wanted to die because he couldn't afford his disability equipment so his life was shit and he had no independence. Apparently "why don't they just give him the equipment instead of killing him" was the wrong answer?????

But you're stupid enough not to remember that this was in 2019, Obama wasn't president then, and his attendance didn't require anywhere near the same level of security that a sitting president requires.

I took a longer route home from camping this weekend and came across a monument I had never seen of before.

In 1929, Japanese pilot Masashi Goto attempted to become one of the first pilots to circumnavigate the globe. He took off from Los Angeles on July 1, making stops in Oakland and Reno before arriving in Salt Lake.

On July 4, Goto was killed when his plane crashed in the Uinta Mountains near Wolf Creek Pass. The wreckage was found five days later.

I tried going down to see if I could find the site but didn’t have enough time to go down the canyon as far as I think it is.

The aviators of the early 20th century were some of the bravest pioneers we’ve ever seen, and air travel couldn’t have progressed as fast as it did without them.

Rest In Peace, Masashi Goto

It's the phones.
It's the phones for a hundred reasons. Here are a few:
1) Male consumption of porn reduces marriage (for like 10 reasons)
2) Because of time-wasting college kids and 20-somethings just socialize less, reducing marriage.
3) The dating apps ruin dating (for 10 reasons)
4) Social media gives us a false anthropology, which makes us too individualistic and too averse to connection and commitment.
5) The phones make us sad and make us hate ourselves. If we hate ourselves we don't want more of us.

Tyrant cop let's his hurt ego guide him into a massive lawsuit.

​Loveland Colorado Police and EMS responded to a motorcycle crash. Seeing the wrecked bike in the road, Preston Sowl stepped in to help emergency crews by moving the motorcycle away from where the rider was injured during an accident.

​When an officer approached Sowl to interview him about the accident, Sowl stated he hadn't actually witnessed the crash and declined to provide further information or cooperate with the investigation.

​The responding officer insisted that because Sowl had altered the scene by moving the motorcycle, he was now a required part of the investigation. Sowl once again said he was not a witness, he did not see anything and was present because he knew the rider.

With a hurt ego because Sowl told him he was dismissed, the officer pressed further. Sowl repeatedly asserted his constitutional right to remain silent, refusing to identify himself or answer questions.

​After several threats from the officer that non-compliance would result in an arrest for obstructing a peace officer. Sowl did not back down on his rights and the officer decided to flex his muscle while taking Sowl into custody.

Sowl loudly protested the arrest, arguing he was under no legal obligation to talk, and sustained an injury during the struggle.

In the end Sowl was 100% correct in standing up for his rights.
​Sowl took the City of Loveland and the arresting officers to federal court, alleging:

​First Amendment Retaliation: For being arrested simply for exercising his right to refuse to speak with law enforcement.

​Fourth Amendment Violations: Unlawful arrest without probable cause and the use of excessive force.

​A federal judge denied qualified immunity to the primary arresting officer, ruling that a citizen cannot be compelled to talk or be arrested purely for refusing to answer questions when they aren't suspected of a crime.

As a result, the City of Loveland settled the lawsuit for $290,000. This was their admission of guilt, however they did nothing to discipline the officer that was way out of line. Instead they spent tax payer money to cover for a cop that is not fit to wear the badge.

The Trump Admin cut funding for screwworm detection and fired 25% of staff responsible for tracking the disease.

I’m embarrassed for the Secretary that her only answer is to blame the administration that left office a year and a half ago.
