I know this isn’t a criminal case but I don’t know that I’d want to be represented by a lawyer named Oprison.

It’s also notable that DLA Piper, a large firm, is apparently taking on the case now. Oprison, a partner based in D.C., previously worked in the White House counsel’s office during the final years of the George W. Bush administration. Aburos is an associate who practices out of Miami.

You saw this too when ebooks first started to become a thing. People who wanted the cost to be way lower 1) overestimated how much printing/shipping/stocking added to a book’s cost and 2) completely missed the editorial/marketing/publicity work.

this is absolutely true. people don't see beyond actors. they don't realize that regular degular people bring them tv and film. when you kill an industry, whether it's hollywood or the government, you kill everything around it. i wish people would THINK.

Last night my opponent was asked how he would overturn Citizen’s United. He said he would pass a law. The format didn’t let anyone point out that that doesn’t work. I didn’t get to share my answer: I propose strip jurisdiction over campaign finance from the Supreme Court. Because that can work.

Even Jehovah’s Witnesses are giving this some side eye.

Evangelist Whitney Lynn says she preaches on planes because she loves “a captive audience.” She's not alone. It's becoming a trend. If spreading your message requires listeners who can't escape, maybe it's not as compelling as you think. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/christian-...

While I was searching for the Franco Harris Popeye's ad I mentioned below I discovered this gem featuring Jerry Rice, and the lifelong Saints fan in me feels like New Orleans got a little revenge for all the pain he visited on us as a Niner. Not enough, but some. youtu.be/jTVC4ocEEDs?...

Even if you just remember the ad and can confirm its existence, that helps. It’s for a piece I’m writing.

I’m looking for video of an ad from my childhood, late 70’s to early 80’s. It’s a Popeye’s ad with footage of the Immaculate Reception and Franco Harris running into a restaurant followed by a crowd of people. Any help?

I’m the featured poet today at X. P. Callahan’s Diary Poems. The title of the poem is “To Karen, Who Molested Me” and the subject is what it says, so be aware before you jump in. Many thanks to X. P. for publishing this. open.substack.com/pub/xpcallah...
