And the answer is absolutely not.

At least, not without more compensation, a title, and possibly tenure.

Well, now the MUSH community can hate Russia.

Thanks, Obama.

I feel like I've finally hit some sort of achievement where a company is going to fight to keep me in my position!

Hail to our conservative overlords, who have brought us back to the 50s.

@macha

Take pride.

You know, in case you ever wanted to hear Nickelback's 'Rockstar' as a slappin' sea shanty.

There's sea shanties, and there's sea shanties.

Season 2 is where it breaks out. Season 6 is when it is at its best.

Forget a dime, brother can you spare a job? (I'm happy for you if you're happy.)

That depends. Do you like bouncing at bars or running karaoke events?

@Macha

She will always be Jon Arbuckle’s grandma to me.

Oh, put a sock in it, dearie.

I thought you were cooking children.

I do not know all the specifics, but it is safe to presume that Alex Jones' attorneys are probably competent.

As I said, just because you give a document to your lawyer does not mean the document is protected by attorney-client privilege. Communications with your attorneys are protected and these communications can include e-mails, letters, and other written correspondence made directly with one's attorneys. In this case, text messages were produced by the attorneys from Mr. Jones' phone. Unless those text messages were exchanged between Mr. Jones and his attorneys (or someone else with whom Mr. Jones may claim a privilege, like his spouse, his priest, or his doctors, or his psychologist), there's a good chance that they are discoverable, which means their production can be compelled. Had the messages been actually privileged there would have been all sorts of motions filed by now.

From what I've read, the text messages reveal that Mr. Jones knew that he was spreading false information, but didn't care. It also showed that Mr. Jones likely perjured himself on the stand. In either case, I am glad this case is moving forward because this is probably the only way to rein in these shock-jock faux-news shills, short of beating the shit out of them publicly.

@Misadventure said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:

Well, that's some fine lawyerin' there.

Just because documents are produced to your lawyers does not mean those documents are protected by attorney-client privilege.

Sounds to me like those text messages were requested through discovery and properly produced.

On Netflix, watch Street Food.

You’re welcome.

Honestly, Anne Heche is kind of -- well, no, she really is my favorite gay icon from back in the 90s.

@Macha

I am good with that. I suppose I see her as I see her because that’s how I first got to know her.

@Hella said in Good TV:

Like, episode 5 dark?

I must be the only person in the world who didn't find Ep. 5 terribly dark.

Which might say a lot about who I am, I suppose.

Man, Stranger Things 4’s ending did not work for me.

Well, onto The Sandman.
