I can’t read the title of this movie without thinking of Paul F. Tompkins’ bit where he exclaims, “The very idea of you!”

OK, Litigation Disaster Tourists -
New Lawsuit. And, at least for these, a new platform. I'm going to do ground rules as a thread (Twitter-style, in replies) here. And then I'll quote-skeet this and start the breakdown of the complaint in X v Media Matters.

Here’s a question: was SBF taken into custody immediately after the guilty verdict came in?

I haven’t read that he was. Which is concerning, because if anyone was ever a flight risk …

So I don’t really know who this Rachel Sennott person is, other than she’s an actor of some sort, but I wanted to tell impressionable young women (and men): don’t fry foods when you’re wearing as little as she is. Your chances of getting burned by spattering hot oil go way up.
