Harper to the judge: "Your driver's license doesn't list your height and weight at birth. It doesn't list where you used to live. It identifies who you are now."

I wish this quote wasn’t still so relevant

can only speak to my own experience, but I never really had to get past "I don't want my child to get preventable diseases" and the pediatrician saying "Take these medicines."

I do not understand much of medical science that is beyond this exchange. That's why I took my kid to the doctor.

We’re in world war!
We’re in a great depression!
We’re in combination world war and great depression!

Plus Thurmond died the summer I worked at the og firm as a summer

There’s no way I didn’t tell this story between summer 2003 through 2008. It’s a perfect story for when you’re trying to interesting to say to people you’re getting to know. But it’s possible I told it to the nmrs lunch crew which you did not attend.Given the sc connection I may have told s.Morrison

II remember now! the UGA/UK game was the 4th game and was moved and UGA ended up winning as a 6th seed from the east. Real Wizard of Oz type stuff.

Nevermind. I just need to look at the clip.

Was the game UGA/Kentucky? I remember it being an unexpectedly compelling game albeit with a hole in the roof at one point.

genuinely one of the wilder things to experience in a live broadcast

“Drinks and Murder”-the Spartanburg Visitors Bureau welcomes you!

He’s the Pennsylvania Solomon Grundy.

My grandmother was around 13 when this all took place. I only found out about it when we were talking about the Susan Smith case and she told me she was against capital punishment, which was only slightly less surprising than the story itself.

After his commutation, Logue worked in present training and handling bloodhounds. He was released on parole in 1960 after 37 out of 40 South Carolina state sheriffs advocated for his release.

I forgot perhaps the most South Carolina coda imaginable about the nephew who had his execution commuted after he’d eaten his last meal.

There’s a whole book about it.

The aunt, uncle (not married to each other-brother and sister in law) and the hit man were executed. There were rumors of a tryst between The aunt and Strom.

There’s one man left to restore law and order: local circuit judge Strom Thurmond who went to the scene and convinced the aunt and uncle to surrender, which they did.

Sheriff (a first cousin) and deputy walk up driveway and are shot. Deputy crawls to road and is picked up by my grandmother’s brother. Deputy dies at hospital.

Word gets back to Edgefield. The nephew confesses. Mob scene develops at the old home place where the aunt and uncle are hiding.

The nephew hired a hit man who killed the store owner for $500. Probably woulda gotten away w it but got drunk in Spartanburg (a tale as old as time) and started bragging about how he killed a man in Edgefield for $500.

Then the dead man’s brother and wife asked their nephew to get someone to kill the store owner as revenge.

It involves her husband threatening to kill a country store owner bc the owners mule kicked his calf death. But store owner shot him in self defense.

My great 2x aunt was the first woman executed in the South Carolina electric chair.

Getting mad at a coworker who was only 6 when LOST went off the air. Ridiculous.

It feels good to feel good. It's been a while.

My Quaker meeting has seen a large uptick in attendance/interest *precisely* bc of the current president & his evil.

If people of faith on the left act authentically & consistently with their moral stances, others will respond-not bc of any faith creed but rather bc righteous acts transcend creeds

Eli Cash from the scene in The Royal Tennenbaums where, describing his book Old Custer, and says "everybody knows Custer died at Little Bighorn. What this book presupposes is maybe he didn't?"

"Everybody knows bombing by a foreign country during a war upsets the people being bombed, but what this war presupposes is "maybe it won't?"

Fair

In an abundance of caution, today and today only, we may have to hand it to him.
