Does that female line judge have money on TCU? Holy crap she's bad.

That's an NCAA decision. They have previously ruled that playing in NBA Summer League does not make you ineligible.

He entered the draft and didn't withdraw. That's against the SEC rules and Ole Miss should be given the SEC death penalty for willfully violating the new rule.

The ad hominem attack means you have no actual response. It’s the opposite of “cooked”.

It seems to me that TAMU is the only school actively violating the new SEC rule by having an athlete on its roster "who has:

2. Signed a contract with an ...NBA/G-League ...team." AND

3. Been listed on an ... NBA/G-League, ... roster."

If found not guilty by reason of insanity she's still going to the loony bin the rest of her life i'd wager.

I highly doubt that. If she truly suffered from a postpartum psychosis that caused her to kill her 3 children she no longer has children and she seemingly hasn't suffered from the psychosis outside of the one auditory command. I would bet she will be out after the mandatory year because she won't be a danger to society. The psychosis was acute and has never reoccurred.

That is what pisses me off the most. My career is in child and maternal health and PPD and PPP are absolutely real things but you should still be punished for your crimes. If she were to ever get out of her institutionalization that would be a travesty.
Having watched the defense's entire closing statement the more egregious statement from Reddington was, "This is a prosecution that has ripped the soul out of this girl." I would think strangling your 3 young children, including a newborn, would have already done that.
quote:

Up until she wasn’t.

I'm not defending her at all and think she should be found guilty then strangled to right before death, twice, then finally strangled to death on the 3rd attempt. However, "up until she wasn't" is the entire defense that she went into a psychosis, killed the kids, and is thus not criminally responsible. That is why he emphasized how "great" of a mother she was...until she wasn't. Of course, now she's totally fine again and should only spend a year in a mental institution because she's no longer a threat to anyone.

She made the psychosis up and should rot in prison for the rest of her life since MA doesn't have the death penalty.
The most difficult thing I've ever had to do was to put my 16-year old dachshund to sleep the morning of New Year's Eve 2024 after two episodes that week were she would stand up, freeze, fall over stiff as a board, wet herself, and yelp like she had been shot. I joke that at least it was New Year's Eve so no one could judge me for starting to drink at 10 am.

It's not an easy choice to make but if she is suffering and there is no hope of recovery or a life she won't live in pain then it's the right thing to do.

What if Clancy had murdered someone else's children and not just her own? What if a friend's children were there during her "alleged" psychotic break and they were strangled as well? Would women still be defending her? I don't believe they would be, at least to the extent they are now.

Yes because they truly believe that Patrick either did it or it was his fault anyway for only being 99% helpful around the house and in caring for Lindsay's issues.

"As designers, writers, artists, and developers, we're ostensibly here to make art and tell stories, but it feels as though we're regularly forced to do it in conditions antithetical to creativity."

What an ironic statement coming from company forcing DEI on others. For example, South By Midnight.
In general a monopoly is not good but that doesn't mean all monopolies are bad. Standard Oil was a pretty good monopoly and actually resulted in price decreases for kerosene among other benefits.

You’d have to complely reduce the franchise to a very specific demographic of “men” that would be capable of supporting these measures and electing the right politicians to make it happen. So the polticians implementing them can withstand the headwinds and the inevitable short term pain that would occur.

The franchise should be limited.

Very solid first episode. Had no idea Lindelof was behind this so not surprising it was so well done. Not a superhero guy but this will be appointment viewing on Sundays going forward.

Agreed. I think the last superhero movie or show I have seen was The Dark Knight Rises and have had zero interest in seeing any of the marvel stuff.

That was an excellent first episode and I'll continue watching.
Enemy at the Gates and Der Untergang (Downfall). A lot of people will know Der Untergang because of the Hitler meme video but everyone should watch it. One of my favorite movies.
Won't someone please think of the candle lighters. This newfangled electric lightbulb is going to put them all out of jobs.

If we had an election day instead of an election 5 months this wouldn't be a problem.

Exactly. It's why I get my butt to my polling place shortly after it opens on election days instead of voting early.
If you think a one loss ND isn't making the playoff you need to get your head examined.

Nah. I am no Mitch fan but I loathe Beshear so I'm good with my fiction of Mitch still being alive to keep the trans loving covid tyrant from appointing a trans loving Democrat as Senator.

I did buffalo trace and it was pretty awesome.

Buffalo Trace is cool, just because of how big it is. Castle and Key is a great tour as well - old historic buildings, beautiful grounds, and a pretty good bourbon you've probably not had before.

Of the distilleries in the area though Old Forrester, in Louisville, has been my favorite. They have an on-site cooperage that was really cool to see.

As for other things to do as others have said you have to go to Keeneland. I'd even put that over a distillery tour if I had to pick.
