When prosecutors finally examined the evidence, the case fell apart.
Immediately, the case fell apart: Isaacs' Durango, purchased two months before the accident, still looked new, with no sign of the "damage" the investigator reported. The Ford Focus, meanwhile, was heavily damaged, with "red or maroon paint transfer"—not a match for Isaacs' black car. One witness to the accident said the driver's airbag went off, which Isaacs' had not. A 911 caller also reported a partial license plate number that did not match Isaacs' tag.

Investigators said the car that caused the accident left "red or maroon" transfer paint on the car it hit. But Lindsey Isaacs' car was a black Dodge Durango, with no sign of damage

This is Lindsey Isaacs. Last year, after a roadway accident killed three people in Florida, police spotted her on a Flock license plate reader and arrested her. But she wasn't involved in the crash.

Haven’t seen Fantastic Four yet but I hope they include this scene from the original comic, where Ben feels he’s no longer a man and has been reduced to nothing more than an object, only for Reed to cut in, “Yeah sure thing—and you can call ME Mr Hot Shit!”
Two panels from Fantastic Four #1
First panel, with three hands together:
Speech balloon: “I’m calling myself The Human Torch— and I’m with you all the way!”
Second speech balloon: “Same goes for me… The Invisible Girl!”
Third speech balloon: “There’s only one still missing… Ben!!”
Second panel, with The Thing’s rocky hand now on top:
Speech balloon from his direction: “I ain’t Ben anymore—I’m what Susan called me—The Thing!!”
Second speech balloon: “And I’ll call myself… Mister Fantastic!!”

One month later. He’s not out of the woods but he’s MUCH better. Another month at this rate and he should be just about back to normal. We bought him this stroller for the time being but I think we’ll keep it in the rotation, he really seems to love being comfortable and closer to the action 🥰

To be honest I could've filled the word count just with my favorite @theonion.com headlines (and in fact I included several). Here's one portion I ended up cutting for space
The paper even turned some politicians into recurring characters: During Obama’s presidency, The Onion wrote of then-Vice President Joe Biden as a womanizing, blue-collar party animal, who listened to hair metal and drove a Pontiac Trans Am. Younger readers who only know Biden as the doddering, elderly president would likely be confused by the Election Day 2012 Onion headline “Poll Workers Overhear Biden Repeating Phrase ‘Banged Her’ While Reading Names On Ballot.” Onion articles in the 1990s had then-President Bill Clinton writing a fan letter to 80s punk rocker Joan Jett and, after the deaths of several staffers and administration officials, “pour[ing] a 40-ounce bottle of King Cobra malt liquor on the ground in honor of his dead homies.”

lmao I get it now, Candace Owens is the most gullible person alive
For now, Owens is continuing to build her empire, though she’s moved onto other targets. Her latest subject: the sexual-assault allegations against Harvey Weinstein. In a February 25 stream introducing the series, she revealed she spent months interviewing him from prison, concluding that he was railroaded and that the Me Too movement “consists of something of a criminal network.”

“I think people are going to be fascinated with it,” Owens says of the series. “I’ve built up a lot of trust with my audience. They know that I don’t lie.”  The video has more than 1.3 million views.

I know it seems boring, and there’s plenty of other shit competing for your eyeballs, but it’s worth paying attention to what’s going on at the FCC.
Reason Magazine article.
Headline: “How the FCC's 'Warrior for Free Speech' Became Our Censor in Chief”
Subhead: Brendan Carr has a clear record of threatening to suppress constitutionally protected speech.
byline: Joe LancasterWhen Donald Trump announced the appointment of Brendan Carr to the top spot at the Federal Communications Commission, he called Carr "a warrior for Free Speech." Carr, in turn, pledged to "dismantle the censorship cartel and restore free speech rights for everyday Americans." But Carr's statements and actions both before and since taking on his new role indicate someone all too comfortable wielding government power against media companies for politically disfavored speech.
