If I called a conservative talk radio show and told them there’s a player on my son’s high school basketball who identifies as a dog, how long would it take before they realized I was summarizing the movie Air Bud?

Among other things I discussed with NPR how Kari Newell becoming the most famous drunk driver in American history is a non-defamation version of the Streisand Effect. Though it also falls solidly within the ambit of Fuck Around and Find Out.
Pretty sure they can’t use that last part.

And to support the Marion County Record: they charge $8.50 for a 1-week classified ad that will appear in it and two other papers. The web page to buy an ad is as charmingly 1996 as the rest of their website. https://marionrecord.com/credit/classified:
It would be great if absolutely everybody can help this story go viral, and get higher-level media attention, to contribute to the social and legal utter annihilation of every cop, judge, and politician involved.

More than 10x what I got paid to write 2 episodes for Netflix that was the foundation for everything & everyone designed, built, hired and filmed, and one of those series just got 7 Emmy nominations.

87% of actors earn under $26k.
