It's understandable for people to be deeply upset about this, because the framing of this summary card is really misstating the scope and implication of the ruling. The actual ruling is narrowly drawn (and caused by several really bad choices the prosecution made in prosecution!)

Dolly Parton understood something that too many of my public health colleagues have not grasped: a good idea isn't sufficient — you have to sell it. So she got vaccinated in front of cameras, and literally begged her fans to not hesitate, to vaccinate — to a reworking of Jolene

I'm gutted. She'll be remembered for her heartfelt and humble music. She'll also be remembered as one of the most genuine, caring, and generous humans of the last century. We should all aspire to be like Dolly.

Man, if you ever want to feel wise, clever, and well informed, watch depositions of cops on youtube Q: "Why did you arrest her?" A: "She was trying to stop officers from going into her apartment." Q: "Did you have a warrant? A: "No." Q: "Was there some kind of emergency happening in the apartment?"

Three teenagers in a car. Something has gone TERRIBLY wrong as you can see their skeletons through their skin. The first kid looks at his hands and says, "Oh this is BAD."

Bury the Dead (four candles, two lit, two sniffed out) connects to South Range, which is near Houghton. Cold Comfort (a torn postcard of a lakeside lodge) is up at the tip of the Keweenaw, near Copper Harbor.

I’m seeing a lot of “well they had to say something and they can’t be mean, it’s unprofessional” they do not, in fact, have to say anything! saying nothing is a whole option that’s available if you’re in a position where it would be personally dangerous to say something true but ugly

It always strikes me as weird that you're not supposed to speak ill of the dead, but our libel laws are structured in such a way that you can't speak honestly about people until after they have passed. Also, it's good to be reminded to live your life so that people will not celebrate your passing.

A bulletin board labeled "Michigan can be thrilling." The book covers surround a map of Michigan and red string goes between the covers and the proper cities. Pending (a dark blue outside of an apartment building with two lit windows) connects to Kalamazoo. Bury the Dead (four candles, two lit and two just blown out) connects just outside of Houghton to the village of South Range.
