JFC, I hope there’s a real investigation and the people responsible get fired and prosecuted.
Someone, claiming to be a ‘retired cop’, came to the authorities claiming that some jackass mixed real bullets in with the blanks in the hope of causing an issue on set. The ‘retired cop’ brought some of those bullets and offered to testify under oath. The bullets were not added to evidence in the rust investigation, rather they were filed under a different ID so it was never turned over to the defense. I quote ‘retired cop’ because when this came up at trial, no one was even able to verify if they were actually a retired cop at trial. It appears that they either didn’t bother to validate it, or knew he was a retired cop and it was pretty damming that they suppressed the evidence. (there’s a bunch of other things here too, like the prosecutor knowing about these bullets but used a cell phone picture of them to ‘compare’ them to the bullets recovered on set and magically knowing they were totally different and not worth perusing but not filing charges against the ‘retired cop’ for interfering in the investigation)
The prosecution was either grossly negligent and ‘accidentally’ withheld evidence that could have been exculpatory. Or more likely deliberately suppressed it. Why deliberately? Apparently multiple witnesses the prosecutors interviewed told the defense that the lead procedure said some pretty vile things about Baldwin during the interviews. The lead prosecutor, under oath, was asked if she said these horrible things, and instead of denying it, said she something to the effect of ‘I don’t recall’. If you can’t recall if you called Baldwin a cock sucker during an interview, you shouldn’t be a prosecutor.
This was an absolutely bonkers prosecution and trial. It’s like if your mechanic overfills your tires to 90 PSI and you have a blow out and kill someone, and being prosecuted because you should have personally validated the tires were safe to drive on.

The entire channel has a bunch of great clips from the trail, no commentary, just what happened.
This was BONKERS.
What a shit article. There's a massive amount of context missing.
7DTD is a game created by The Fun Pimps. Telltale Games bought the rights to produce a console port of the game from TFP. Telltale Games then contracted with Iron Galaxy to produce the port. Telltale Games went bankrupt and it's assets were liquidated, one of those assets was the rights to produce the console port. TFP managed to buy back the rights to the console port, but were unable to get any of the source code for the console port. It took years to get the rights sorted out, and it wasn't cheap.
It's a messed up situation, but console players bought a Playstation 4/XBox One game from Telltale Games, a company that went bankrupt and is defunct, and that sucks. TFP is now starting from scratch to produce a console port for the current generation of consoles and that costs money.
While true, we do have way more going on that password resets. We've got DBAs, software devs, Devops.
Have you ever considered working in Higher Ed? We've got tech jobs. The pay could be better but the working conditions and benefits are generally good. Layoffs are rare, and layoffs in IT are basically unheard of.
I basically can't leave my house at this point. One old lady can break me for weeks if they get too close. Don't get me started about fall time and all the stores dump pumpkin spice in the entry way to the store.
Perfumes are a fucking blight. I wish people were more aware of how much they impact some people's lives.
If anyone has ideas, please let me know.

Keep voting against fascism, and eventually, if we are able to hold that line, the old guard will die off and we can get some real change. Ex: Dianne Feinstein, she's gone now and we're going to get Adam Schiff who's better, or hopefully Katie Porter who's even better than Schiff.

Do what you can to people on board with better voting systems like ranked choice voting, approval voting, anything that gets us away from first past the post bullshit. Use it for game night, use it in the office, etc. Get it into the mainstream public conscious. Until enough people start asking why we don't use it for elections.
...want to accomplish things that improve the lives of people other than shareholders...
Have you looked into jobs in higher education?
The pay could be better, but it's not horrible. The benefits and working conditions are generally good. In my many years, I've never said 'wow, that's unethical'. Worst I've had is having to explain how certain policies, which sound good on the surface, are not equitable to all students in all social-economical situations and need to be revised.
Marketing, Communication, and Outreach are totally jobs in higher ed, and you're not trying to trick someone into buying crap: https://www.higheredjobs.com/admin/search.cfm?JobCat=37&StartRow=-1&SortBy=4&NumJobs=25&filterby=&CatType=
Maybe giving equal training weight to r/sovereigncitizen and r/asklegal wasn't the best idea.
If I have a gun but the government doesn’t care, am I not exercising my 2a rights?
No, you are not.
You have a right to not be unduly burdened by the government in owning or procuring a gun.
It does not follow that because the government is not allowed to arbitrarily restrict your ability to own a gun, you therefor have a “right to own a gun”. For example, if you do not own a gun, and everyone who does own a gun doesn’t want to give/sell you a gun, your 2a rights were not violated.

Putting up a lost cat flyer, and having some random person yell at you for it is not exercising the “right to free speech” (for either party).
You have a right to not be unduly burdened by the government in speech/expression.
It does not follow that because the government is not allowed to arbitrarily restrict your speech/expression, you therefor have a right to speech/expression in all contexts. For example, if you want to go on a rant about your personal beliefs, the government unduly burdened you. However this will not stop the owner of the grocery store from calling the cops to have you trespassed for bothering all of the customers.
It says a lot about the site when I'm immediately prompted to "ASK A DOCTOR ONLINE"... Oh and they make it really easy for me to make a tweet sensationalized it too, like real journalists do!
This isn't news, it's fear mongering propaganda. There's PLENTY of stuff to criticize china about. This is normal scientific/medical research.
There isn’t even a cogent reason provided for what problem is being caused by trans folks.
Doesn't need to be. The target audience aren't deep thinkers.
why a weapon was loaded with live ammo
Why is there live ammo anywhere near set.
I honestly don’t know why
He did some skits on SNL as trump and trump got really butt-hurt about it.
I too thought it was about burning the poo poo....
These aren't comparable.
Trump wanted to attack a sovereign nation, unprovoked. That would start a war.
Biden is attacking Houthi Rebel In Yemen. They are not a sovereign nation and have been literally attacking us and others in the region. This will not start a war.
An Advice of Counsel defense is basically saying "I'm not responsible for my actions because my lawyer said it was legal for me to do." If that's the case, Attorney Client Privilege is waved and all communication between trump and his lawyers (that said "it was OK", not the current lawyers) should be provided as evidence. Basically provide the evidence to support the AoC defense.
It's basic discovery. trump is stalling for time, and cannon is helping. If trump goes with the AoC defense, day one of the trial is going to be him claiming AoC and the prosecutors asking for the relevant evidence to review which will stall the case because they'll 'need at least a month to get all the records together' and then the prosecutors will need to review them, and I'm certain it will be the most unorganized mess handed off. Like shitty scans of faxes of the emails all off center and slightly rotated..... So OCR will be a nightmare.
Portal64 required you to have access to one file from portal 1, portal_pak_000.vpk. It's trivial to get that file. Either via google, or purchasing Portal, extracting the file, then getting a refund.
Revolution requires a continuously working copy of Portal 2.
It's significantly easier for the general population to play Portal64 without giving money to Valve than Revolution.
I think it's just a bunch of people reading through all of the laws and looking for any way it can be forgiven without congress, and without the SCOTUS.
On Thursday, Abbott was subject to widespread criticism when asked where the line was for him in terms of border enforcement mechanisms he suggested the only reason Texas is not shooting migrants crossing the border “is because of course, the Biden administration would charge us with murder.”
uhhh what?
