I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

This is a good read:

We hired the author of 'Black Hawk Down' and an illustrator from 'Archer' to adapt the Mueller report so you'll actually read it.

quote:

It feels as if nobody read the Mueller report. That's a shame, because it's an important document, depicting possible crimes by a sitting US president.

But not reading it makes sense. As a narrative, the document is a disaster. And at 448 pages, it's too long to grind through. For long stretches, it reads less like a story and more like a terms-of-service agreement. The instinct to click "next" is strong.

And yet, buried within the Mueller report, there is a narrative that reads in parts like a thriller, like a comedy, like a tragedy — and, most important — like an indictment. The facts are compelling, all the more so because they come not from President Donald Trump's critics or "fake news" reports, but from Trump's own handpicked colleagues and associates. The story just needed to be rearranged in a better form.

So we hired Mark Bowden, a journalist and author known for his brilliant works of narrative nonfiction like "Black Hawk Down," "Killing Pablo," and "Hue 1968."

Our assignment for him was simple. Use the interviews and facts laid out in the Mueller report (plus those from reliable, fact-checked sources and published firsthand accounts) to do what he does best: Tell a story recounting Mueller's report that's so gripping it will hold your attention (and maybe your congressional representative's).

We also hired Chad Hurd, an illustrator from the art department of "Archer." We asked him to draw out scenes from the report to bring them to life.

Here's what Bowden and Hurd gave us …

Edit: Whoops, this was published in July.

"If you haven't seen it, then it's new to you!"

We all know drat well he wouldn't do that to a grown man. gently caress.
I hope he gets the living piss beat out of him in jail. I know I shouldn't, but all I could think was about how horrid that would be to see as a parent.

This is my vote. loving sick to death of giving that kind of bullshit the veneer of seriousness that even comes from stuff like "fact checking" and "reasonable debate". No, gently caress that, the assumption of good faith has been well and truly abused and destroyed. "You're a jackass, let the adults talk now" is perfect.

It's worth noting that he apparently pointed a gun at and threatened some people a few years ago, and got a suspended sentence for that assault. And the judge let him go without bail after this latest incident.

While the article says he "was scheduled to be released on his own recognizance on Tuesday" I haven't seen any other accounts corroborating that. AP said that "Brockway’s attorney was working Tuesday to recommend conditions that might allow Brockway be released without posting bond." Which is both more plausible and shows where the confusion might have crept in.

This is a couple days old, but:

The state requested his bond be set to $100,000, however the judge ruled Brockway can be released on his own recognizance. Brockway had not been released as of 5 p.m. on Monday.

And their other bonds run on the high side.
