I enjoyed Robby's article but, I think it's important to note that a settlement is not necessarily evidence of guilt. It could be obviously but, people settle cases (of all kinds) against them for all sorts of reasons.

I do think it's worrying that the Reason comments on his article suggest a lot of people have bought into the conspiracy theory and so, strongly believe that all of the named people are guilty of something or other. I wonder how many of those commenters have even read any of the files. I think the principle of 'innocent until proven guilty' has been under attack so much over a number of years that I'm not sure how it can be re-established.

Never read the Reason comments.

While the world is constantly evolving, some brilliant kernels of wisdom remain eternal and unaffected by the passage of time.

I cannot understand why the Reason comments section has been so awful for more than a decade, and why you haven't been able to do anything to fix that. Just restricting it to actual paying subscribers would probably raise the average participant IQ above room temperature.

Reading this while waiting on the wife to get ready to go to a local comedy club to see Kevin Nealon. The armed only with a camera reminds me that Nealon produced a documentary that is also nominated for an Oscar this year. Come See Me in the Good Light

Here to leave a note remarking the sad passing of Lynn Blakey, of Tres Chicas, Let’s Active, Oh-OK, and the inspiration behind The Mats immortal “Left of the Dial” - https://memoritree.com/memorial/lynn-blakey

Clinton also sent people in the mid 90s to Israel to oppose Netanyahu’s election after the Rabin assassination

> Donald Trump mistook his electoral victory as a mandate for hyper-aggressive immigration enforcement in the interior.

Saw in the WSJ this morning the best acronym for describing Trump's second term approach: not TACO, but TRIBE (Trump: Right Idea, Bad Execution). Secure borders are still incredibly popular, for instance, but Trump seems intent on making way for the open borders crew to reimplement their ideas (for another short period until voters again realize why they started rejecting Democrats).

Greenland, trade deals, EU defense, etc.: all just the dumbest possible approaches to reasonable ideas.

Beauty and culture influencers have been debating the upsides and downsides of HA fillers for a while. They tend to migrate, and there is some evidence they may stay in the body for years instead of months. The article mentioned the rarer complications like lumps, granulomas, and vascular issues. But I guess if you are ski jumping, your risk tolerance is already pretty high!
