Brand is sober 20 years now

I only know him from an absolutely pathetic Monty Python documentary that my brother made me watch a decade ago, and from scrolling past clickbait headlines about things he said on podcasts. I didn’t know that he had a drug addiction and I’m glad he’s better, but I’m comfortable that “hot potato no one actually wants” is a survivable summary.

He seems to support himself off of podcasts and the like. If he can make a living doing that after marrying and divorcing Katy Perry, what excuse do the rest of us have?

A brit with a working class accent that has money, how implausible. Tad bit unstable, that's just keeping it real, innit?

I was at a card shop with my kids the other day and they had a 1995 edition of the Seattle Times lying around. Oh man the stories were a trip down memory lane.
- OJ verdict was about to come down
- Bulls make risky move by signing Dennis Rodman
- Mariners become one of the first 8 teams to create a team website

I don't know what Gweneth Paltrow is accused of doing, but she is insanely out of touch with the human race.

She is moisturized, hydrated, refreshed, and thriving, thank you very much. If I were a juror and didn't get a goop gift bag after all this I would be very disappointed.

Can someone explain this abortion pill fiasco to me?

The judge ruled in blocking the FDA's approval of mifepristone, apparently on grounds that it isn't safe.

Was there a lawsuit he was deciding on, or did he just bring it up for a decision on his own? Not sure how that works.

I'm guessing this was a round about way for pro-life supporters to get the pill off the market, by brining up the possibility it isn't a safe drug.

I'm a big a fan of second guessing the FDA as the next guy, but generally in the direction of not banning things. Shouldn't it be a pretty compelling reason to ban something after it's been available for 20 years vs updating the warning labels?

Edit: was it something as dumb as an alleged APA violation?

It’s ridiculous. They must have spent years targeting a specific judge in a specific district to even get this heard.

So the classified leak was from a member of the Air National Guard, apparently.

fox news and dominion settled


wonder if there will be any admitting of wrong doing by fox

[elliseamos]

Now they can report on it!

They have to get their $787 million worth.

Fox acknowledged the court's rulings finding "certain claims about Dominion to be false." However, the network will not have to acknowledge on air that it told election lies as part of the settlement, a representative for Dominion said.

[elliseamos]

Reuters reported Monday that Fox Corp. shareholders "are demanding company records" that could show whether Fox Corp. board directors and executives properly oversaw Fox News' coverage of election lies. Those probes could lead to lawsuits in which board directors would be held personally liable for settlement costs.

you hate to see it.
