Elizabeth Holmes deserves so much worse. She was only ever convicted of defrauding her investors even though she also defrauded thousands of patients.
Evidence was provided of Holmes's role in faked product demonstrations, falsified validation reports, misleading claims about contracts, and overstated financials. There was audio and video evidence of Holmes making inflated or misleading claims about Theranos. There were forged documents saying Pfizer and Schering-Plough had validated the company's blood-testing technology. Holmes admitted to personally manipulating those documents.

You used to regularly hang out with your neighbour across the street for chats and drinks. But then that neighbour started taking crazy pills, shit on your front lawn, threaten and shout obscenities at you.
So you simply don’t cross the street to chat any more. That does not require “effort”.

Judge is a great player, but Cal Raleigh had the best ever season by a catcher and should have been the MVP. Bad enough that the oligarch teams dominate the sport. They shouldn't geta leg up in post-season awards too.

As a former Catholic school kid, the is was an interesting read, especially to see the historical context of the Roman Empire (That age was brutal)
The last chapters really paint a picture of what was going on with Pontius Pilate. Never heard of Sejanus before!

Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...
DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments
“People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. “I think it would be great.”

Fwiw, it’s nice to have a place to chat during a live event. That was one of the things that Twitter was great for. Before the dark times. Before the empire.

I kinda wish people would celebrate Remembrance / Veteran's Day before Christmas. To me, Christmas is just way too commercialized. And this comes from someone who has worked in retail for 15 years
