I sheepishly confess I always thought this was MtG card artwork 🤦‍♂️
Right??

I swear I've seen it on a card before, but all I've been able to find on Google Image search is close-but-not-it ones
This would have been a retail card though, not something custom. I haven't played MtG since 2000 😔
Y'all are gonna make me unearth my card boxes and go through them at some point 😂
One game at a time 😂 I already promised the Twitch folks I'd start streaming Mario Kart matches once I got a dedicated box

Seriously f*cked up
Meh. It all reads as pretty standard to me, most of this is common practice at jails all over the US

People just have a hard time comprehending how thoroughly f*cked the carceral system is
Untreated injury? Standard

Suicide watch after a hunger strike? Standard

Stripped naked while on suicide watch? Standard

Yep. Everyone on the TL celebrating "cases are down 70%!" – meaning we've only just now reached the same new case level as the top of the 2nd wave back in July ImageImage

I just enjoy the implied "it's Jyyyyyna's fault I was wrong" and not, you know, a failure to understand basic arithmetic and how pandemics work

Courthouse closed last Thursday b/c of the ice storm. Had several cases on the docket so planned to go in today to make sure everything is properly rescheduled

Just got an email that it's closed today through 3/1 due to another COVID outbreak 🤦‍♂️

Praying everyone recovers fully!
A year in to this, and criminal court is still a whole ass mess

The General Assembly and the Administrative Office of the Courts need to sit and re-think through how things work
When there's a closure they don't issue any bench warrants because defendants can't show up even if they wanted to. And the DAs + clerks have been good about continuing things out at least 30 days so there's plenty of notice for the next appearance

It just draaaaaaaags on

I'm so sick of rain
Durham NC averages ~3.9" of rain a month historically

Our 30-day total was 7.5" yesterday – and that was before today's monsoon

17.75" over the past 90 days, half a foot above average
It's wild

When we moved in two Octobers ago, we were actually concerned about drought and the nearby lake going dry – previously non-existent shore visible for 20 feet or so

Needless to say that's no longer a concern 😂

Yelling and talking over each other is the main reason most folks watch cable news, unfortunately 😂
It's the main reason I stopped watching cable news, back during W's tenure. Couldn't understand what people were shouting over each other half the time
On the "straight news" front, I tend to rely on local news. I subscribe to my local paper + NYT + WaPo, and regularly read our local TV station folks too

On the news/opinion side, I'm a @BulwarkOnline Plus subscriber

Interesting read on 2nd Amendment case law. Worth reading the opinion, the concurrence, and the dissent (footnotes!)

FWIW, had a client like this a few years back. DV conviction when he was 18; now in his 50s with exemplary record, wanted to buy gun once kids were born but can't
Generally no. Their main application comes in expungement statutes, which tend to be limited

For example, in NC certain misdemeanor convictions can be expunged after 5 years without another offense; certain felonies after 10 years

1/
But, notably, in NC *all* offenses that include assault as "an essential element" are categorically excluded from ever being expunged

F*ck up on your 18th birthday and you're screwed for life

There's also no substantive federal expungement process at all

2/2
