Does anyone ever use an address at, say, the European Council to repeat domestic partisan attacks on the Mayor of Brussels? That would be weird, right?

But seriously so many people cultivate an audience off being harsh and judgmental and stirring up online dogpiles and then go shocked Pikachu face when people are harsh and judgmental to them. Tale as old as time. Song as old as rhyme.

Days of Thunder is no Top Gun, either in initial box office performance or cultural memory. I had to google the name of Tom Cruise's character. Mostly I remember it being a stylistically distinctive Tony Scott outing. W/i him, Kidman, or Duvall, what is it? Why not just a make a new racing movie?

JUST IN: Former "Broadview Six" defendants seek special counsel to investigate, and possibly prosecute, Chicago U.S. Attorney's Office officials for criminal contempt. Full filing: cst.brightspotcdn.com/ca/86/6e85af...

DEFENDANTS’ MOTION TO DESIGNATE A SPECIAL COUNSEL TO INVESTIGATE AND, IF WARRANTED BY THE FACTS, PROSECUTE RESPONSIBLE PERSONS FOR CRIMINAL CONTEMPT
Pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 42, Defendants Michael Rabbitt, Katherine Marie Abughazaleh, Andre Martin, Brian Straw and Catherine Sharp (“Defendants”), by and through undersigned counsel, respectfully request this Court appoint special counsel to investigate the misconduct of certain individuals from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Illinois and, if the evidence supports it, prosecute such individuals for criminal contempt. Those who should be investigated for their conduct during the grand jury proceedings and the ensuing cover-up before this Court begin with the line Assistant United States Attorneys assigned to prosecute this case and further includes unidentified supervisory and advisory employees of the United States Attorney’s Office, and the Front Office, which includes Andrew Boutros, the United States Attorney as well as his supervisors in Washington, D.C.

Indeed, these steps must be taken in large part because of what appears to be a determined effort to blame a single prosecutor when the misconduct now known – particularly in this case – runs much deeper and indeed to the highest levels of the Chicago U.S. Attorney’s Office and likely to the Department of Justice in Washington D.C.1 To not appoint a special prosecutor here would enable the government’s strategy to lay all that has happened on a single scapegoat, a convenient outcome for those who are eager to turn the page. The Court has the authority, and we think the obligation, to ensure that those responsible for this unique and sorry chapter—a chapter which has dramatically impacted the lives of multiple Defendants and enduringly sullied the reputation of the U.S. Attorney’s Office earned over decades— are held to account.

I'm curious how her assignment to the Senate Judiciary Committee staff came about. I wonder if the ability to transfer from Chicago and step away from prosecuting under Trump was offered as incentive to get indictments here. But I am not familiar with how that kind of thing works practically...

A story I love about Anthony Stewart Head. Thank you to this person for sharing it on Tumblr. What a mensch.

A photo of Tony Head with a fan, standing in a barn near a horse. Tumblr post from dracofidus: If you EVER think Anthony Head is anything less than an angel then you'd best remember that I have always been a huge fan of his and we've always had a little contact over the years and he heard I'd come out as Trans and was having a hard time and that I was kind of sad that the photos I had from conventions with him were of me with long hair and no binder and they were all signed to "Sarah" and so he invited me to spend the day with him at his farm and he picked me up from the station and we just hung out and had lunch and he insisted on paying and look loads of photos and had them printed on photo paper the same day so he could sign them to Jay, along with other photos of him as Giles and Utger and he literally spent five hours chatting with me and got all the pronoun stuff right every time and then he dropped me off at the station, gave me a massive hug. Waved me through the ticket barrier and insisted I message him when I got home so he knew I was back safe.
