The Hall of Fire

I don't think it is a laughing matter, but of course your mileage may vary.

I would selfishly like it if this information was made public, but I understand why it would not be.

I have no idea who this person is or whether what they are saying is true, but I found it interesting enough to share here with the caveat that I have no idea who this person is or whether what they are saying is true.

Apparently, Bronwyn will not be a returning character in Season 2, even though her son Theo and her Elf lover Arondir will be. ‘The Rings Of Power’ Actress Nazanin Boniadi Not Returning For Season 2 Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power actress Nazanin Boniadi won’t be returning as her human healer char...

Meanwhile,

The scene here in Santa Cruz today.

To the best of my knowledge, they are not, and a significant percentage of donations made to a PAC supposedly supporting his election campaign is actually going to pay his legal bills.

No. In fact, legally Bragg and Colangelo can't discuss specifics about the case while it is still active (which it is). This is all a show.

I thought about putting this in the 2024 election thread, but ultimately decided it should go here. Benjamin Wittes is editor in chief of Lawfare and a Senior Fellow in Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution.

Even if it makes no iota of difference to the election, even if it ends up helping Trump, I find that I would feel extremely gratified to learn that Trump was held accountable for his despicable conduct.

After stating they were going leave early at 4:30 today, all of a sudden there is news that there is a verdict after all. That seems like good news to me. It seems very unlikely that they would have reached an acquittal this quickly.
