  1. Y'all realize that if Epstein was alive, (1) Trump already would have pardoned him because "he was treated very unfairly, maybe more unfairly than anyone but me," and (2) appointed him special envoy for children's safety or something like that, right?
  2. If you want to know why America is going to shit, that clip is exhibit A in the case of "because this country is totally pussified." FFS, this country was the leader of the free world while holiday spreads included jello salads and shit like this: And these soft ass wusses can't appreciate a fucking McRib? Fucking Kruschev said he'd take this country without firing a shot and by God, I think it happened.
  3. Some more enshittification coming your way, owing to the Trump economy working EXACTLY as designed. Remember, the giant spiked dildo being rammed up the people's ass so the billionaires can extract a bit more blood from each of us is a FEATURE, not a bug, of the Trump economy: Enjoy paying more for electricity and to heat your house this winter, peasants. It's the least you can do to enrich the regime and its cronies.
  4. Good thing that AI is only bringing glory and prosperity to the masses. Wait, what's that? It's already fucking us all over, and we're all going to pay more for our electricity and heating this winter, which surely won't have any impact on the increasing percentage of Americans that has to pinch every penny just to survive..... Shut up and take it, peasants.
  5. And the world’s deepest hand-dug well. And the world’s largest pallasite meteorite. I’ve seen both. There ain’t much to do in Kansas.
  6. …if’n you think round is funny.
  7. Monkey sideeye gif
  8. Update: no charges yet. Prosecutor says they're going through "a mountain of evidence." Yeah....a mountain that looks a lot like "he's an old white cop. Gotta find a way to smear the victim and blame her so it's a justified shooting" or some shit like that.
  9. Watts is not shabby. But goddamn, this case is a defense nightmare. Shit, I represented a hospital back in the day (complex civil matters, NOT their medmal matters). I remember having a drink with the CEO one evening, discussing the various legal goings on, and he related that they'd just settled a med mal case. "It was a dead baby case. Those are the absolute worst. Doesn't matter what happened, what you did or didn't do....there's a dead baby. You settle those cases. Always." Well, here....there's 27 dead little girls. I don't know what outcome the plaintiffs want. But whatever it is, they'll likely get something close to it.
  10. Where'd Yetter Coleman show up? Missed them on the sig blocks. They've got some smart folks for sure, but had an appellate matter involving them where their approach was maybe too smart by half. They missed the common-sense mark. But that was more a "reading the room/bench" issue than it was a quality of work intel issue. Agreed that it's an outstanding bunch over there.
  11. I don't think so. He did have one of the best "case cites" I've ever heard in an argument. District Court here in TC, and it was a fight over whether a certain type of witness needed to be deposed or whatnot, and the other side had taken a similar position (and gotten favorable treatment on the matter from the judge). Judge asked Sean if he had any authority for his position, and he said "well your honor, I'd cite the case of Goose vs. Gander." He paused and grinned, judge smiled and nodded, and it won the day. Pretty smooth move. Was also working a multi-party case with him when the bonfire collapse happened; his brother was there, and was killed. Was a solid example of professional courtesy as the other 9 lawyers on the case said "we're going to stay all activities and proceedings until Sean tells us he's ready to step back into the case." And we did. Just froze things for a couple of months, then Sean said "ok, I appreciate the courtesy, let's get going again."
  12. Both solid plaintiff's lawyers. I've known Sean for a LONG time. Good lawyer, good guy. And Lanier is smart as HELL. The move towards putting a photo of the deceased in the Petition itself is a new trend, and a strong one. It's powerful, even though the Petition isn't an "action" document that a jury will ever see - gives a flavor of how the case would look. And seems there are several defendants where venue is proper in Travis County, so seems likely that the cases will stay in Travis County. As defendants....other than defenses of "I didn't have anything to do with it, I just own shares of an entity" or similar defenses.....yeah, I don't know where and how you even begin to defend this case. It's as bad as it gets for a negligence case.
  13. "They don't care about you. They want to hurt you to make money for them and their billionaire buddies." Simple fucking sentences, people. If you're explaining the details of "how," you're both wasting your time and fucking LOSING. "They want to fuck you over. They've already fucked you over and gotten rich doing it. And they think you're too stupid to know when you're being fucked." Shit like that. Constantly.
  14. Too drunk to walk? Holy shit, that IS a perfect Russian AI robot!
  15. On the one side are dwindling water resources, a strained and unreliable grid, and the well-being of Texans. On the other side is tremendous profit and self-dealing by Abbott and his cronies. So, I'm sure you understand that they really had no choice in the matter, the choice was obvious.
  16. Its core mission is "enshittification." Squeeze and extract every drop of blood you can TODAY, damn tomorrow, and who gives a fuck what happens to the empty husk then, PE will have cashed out and be long-gone by then. Over, and over, and over, we are choosing, empowering, incentivizing, and unleashing mechanisms and phenomena that are utterly counterproductive for having a healthy, functioning society. If it sucks out dollars faster than ever before, it's good. If it does anything BUT that, it's bad. That's fucking unsustainable, but nobody is listening, and nobody cares.
  17. Sounds like aggy is FAKE NEWS.
  18. Whatever, says this dude: No, really, you see like the one thing I wanna do before I join the cosmos is to hang glide off of Mt. Everest. Yeah, but wait, this is the best part: NAKED!
  19. "The American Jobs Report....brought to you by FanDuel!" That's where we are, dudes. Enshittification isn't just somethign that happens, it's our core national ethos.
  20. This is the key. And while we can and should put plenty of blame on Gen Z men and such (seriously, PLENTY), we're also accelerating a system designed to fuck them over when it comes to creating the opportunities for having a successful life (which translates to "is attractive to a potential female mate"). Hell, success begets confidence which begets social skills which begets desirability. As a society, it is strongly in our collective interest to offer men a pathway to a reasonably dignified and successful life, meaning an actual career and future. Instead, we're doing just the opposite politically, economically, and culturally. So in a lot of ways, what else should we fucking expect?
  21. Getting a little fucking judgey, aren't we?
  22. "Not that he went to Oklahoma, freakshow, and I am the idoit" would like a word.
  23. Cuz it always gets out eventually, dude. I tried to warn you, but you went in there and closed the door behind you anyway. We know, Pato. We know.
