Matt Murphy:former California Prosecutor (17years) current: legal analyst Podcast 'In The Well'
(on MK True Crime) & Mark Garagos: famed defense attorney
Excellent interview by Kjersti. A professional interviewer knows when to sit back while allowing the experts to talk. A professional interviewer also knows how to keep their composure when faced with adults cosplaying as "'mean girls". @2:08-2:15 when Mark Geragos said about this situation, "...maybe it is above my pay grade...?" the looks on Kjersti's and Matt's faces were PRICELESS! IMO, if Judge Liman acts as he has in the past, he will hold his tongue, put down his pen, turn off his laptop, take a breath and wait for Wayfarer's response. Judge Liman appears to be a judge very in the mode of wanting those i's dotted and those t's crossed. Also, this judge seems to lean towards giving something to both sides. In this case the fee/costs amount is so egregious, that after Wayfarer submits their rebuttal, Judge Liman may just give the plaintiff's side a chance to "adjust" the submission. It is my hope that Judge Liman disallows any fees/costs based on this compilation, the likely recompilation on billings that should have already been compiled as the submission to the court indicated that BL has already ok'd and PAID those compiled bills. Giving myself a migraine here. When experts like Geragos and Murphy laugh at you, as a legal firm, this might be the opportunity to reevaluate a firm's trajectory. All alleged,🤣. Oh, almost forgot, kudos to the Executive Producer. Yet another great show helmed by Oscar
Posted to Kjersti Flaa (RE: BL's legal team's fee/costs submission and Cara Delevingne) 07/01/2026
I agree with LittleGirlAttorney, RR's fingerprints are all over page one of this fee/costs submission. Speculation only, but he may be the driving force of this case. It would explain how so many decisions and writing usually 100% done by legal professionals has resulted in decisions and content that I find odd, others find incompetent and attorneys find bizarre and hilarious. Even that social media post with the author listed as being BL's lead attorney was too long, too many tropes and waaay not reading the room. Who does that sound like? I suppose we should be grateful that the holder of a such an ego generously supplemented with the Dunning-Kruger effect chose spandex over politics. As for Cara Delevingne, glad she is doing better. Acting is an honored profession. However "acting" not living your own life must be mentally exhausting. I see that the executive producer is taking full advantage of his position for private swims at exclusive beaches. Always good to see those with skills get rewarded for their successes. You go Oscar!
Posted to Molly Burke (RE: Helen Keller Conspiracy Theories) Uploaded to YT on 07/01/2026
The amount of oversimplification and generalizations in that analysis of Helen Keller was breathtaking. It seems that he based his premise on the difference of writing from the time period of before Anne Sullivan passed and the time period afterwards. The intensity of the emotional loss of Anne Sullivan to Helen Keller is likely beyond my imagination. That Helen's writings became more introspective and less world-building, makes sense. Any artist after a life trauma will likely change their output. However as Molly pointed out, some of the comments used in this video on Helen Keller were insulting to us as critical thinkers. I know nothing about this person presenting these Helen Keller theories. Is he a "talking head" ? Is he some sort of expert in literature? Does he have an MD in medicine or a PhD in Psychology? Hopefully some of the comments to his video come more from thoughtful critical thinkers than echo chamber dwellers.
Posted to Runkle of The Bailey (RE: Hearing Judge Gildea warned all about Proctor leak) 07/01/2026
At least until this hearing, I had considered Judge Gildea to be fair. If this judge has been in a case with any of the "McAlberts" then he should have recused himself on day one. I do find judges of a certain age seem to not understand how the internet and social media work. Perhaps that led to his rant on "spectacle"? As Runkle pointed out, there is a history of court trials/hearings that are spectacles some are: (1) Salem Witch Trials 1692-1693, (2) United States v. The Amistad 1839-1841, (3) Leopold & Loeb Trial 1924, (4) The State of Tennessee v. John Thomas Scopes 1925, (5) The Army-McCarthy Hearings 1954, (6) OJ Simpson criminal trial 1995. As a comment brought up, perhaps Judge Gildea is under the impression that TurtleBoy is in contact with Karen Read's attorneys? Thus this leap was made in anger, not in critical thinking? The only one who benefits from any leak on Proctor is essentially Proctor. Perhaps Judge Gildea could have questioned Attorney Jackson if he were local. Oops, he WAS present in person on this day in this court to answer any query on the record.
Posted to Lawyer You Know (Special Hearing - TurtleBoy posting Proctor data) 07/01/2026
I understand the Judge is upset. What I do not understand is releasing that anger in this way. As assistant going on social media (TurtleBoy YT/twitter) for maybe 10 minutes could have provided information that the judge could present to the attorneys. Some judges of a certain age appear to not grasp how the internet and social media works. However transparency such as streamed trials (with certain medical/identifiable data redacted) is vital to keeping ethics, decorum and taxpayers seeing their dollars at work in court. As for calling this a "spectacle", Runkle of The Bailey on YT did an excellent rant on how actually modern court is far less of a spectacle than courts of the past. I hear the Salem Witch trials (1692-93) were quite the spectacle. Also, doesn't the term "hearing" by its legal definition imply that there can be questions posed by those present?

Is it wrong of me the consider this she said/she said story is far more intriguing and gripping than whatever is in The Tell (which I have not read)? QUESTIONS: Can Amy Griffin's real Claudia in Tennessee, be subpoenaed for discovery? Can Amy Griffin (sort of) recant that Claudia is one person, that Amy added parts of her own experiences but only in lesser details without sinking her case? If that teacher is alive, able and willing to testify, can he be granted immunity from criminal indictment at the request of his own attorney before such testimony? What has to be proven before a court order is issued requiring all of Dominique's financials and emails? I agree that Penguin attorneys should file a motion to sever.
Posted to Brian Entin (RE: Interview w/Mark Geragos and 2 replays on 2 theories on notes) 07/02/2926
Thanks to Brian Entin (w/Mo on tech), there have been multiple experts and profilers discussing their past experiences and current theories on Nancy Guthrie's abduction. While there are are several plausible theories, there is one basic element of any investigation. The first 24 - 48 hours are critical. Think back to the first or second day of Nancy's disappearance. To say that there was incompetence, inexperience, disorganization and mistakes would be a massive understatement. Unless a wilderness hiker finds Nancy or a relative of one of the criminals comes forward, I do not see an arrest. Although even if a person/people is/are arrested the amount of reasonable doubt due to mishandling of the crime scene is immense. I hope that I am completely wrong. The Guthrie family deserve closure. THANK YOU to Mark Geragos, I had not realized that Brian Entin is the son of a criminal defense attorney. Now all that critical thinking, ethics and stamina makes so much sense!
Posted to NAG (RE: Validating Our Feelings) Uploaded to You Tube on 07/02/2026
I thought it was Friday all day Thursday also. I haven't had proper management of days of the week and time of the day since 2020. IMO I felt that all along that RR was driving the BL lawsuit bus. Yes, BL is the alleged poster child of Mean Girl Inc. (I made that up). She is by no means an innocent bystander. However, I do not think that BL has the malice (see what I did there?), obsession, the drive to control it all or (sorry Blake) the mental heft to produce the chaos that we have observed in texts and emails to be the force behind the lawsuit. As LGA noticed, we can see RR's writing style, such as it is, in parts of these legal filings. Thank you NAG for the validation. I keep hoping to hear that RR, BL and their children (but not their legal team or PR representation) have emigrated to Wales. A couple of years and who knows, maybe I can even watch Deadpool again without feeling queasy.

OMG, the words: "...research case law re: CRD Complaint PERJURY (2.0 hours); research case law re: PERJURY in statements made to state agencies (.8 of an hour)...." I can only imagine, speculate and guess, but if I were a client (current or prospective) of either of the two legal firms that represented the plaintiff in this case, I would throughly and carefully rethink my choices of a firm to engage in my behalf. From my experiences living in another major city (not NYC) with major traffic headaches, I would say that if I had a choice of the TS/TK spectacle or RR/BL carnival coming to town, I would prefer the spectacle. At least the TS/TK circus has flair, humor and acceptable entertainment. And most importantly it knows what it is, no victim cosplay.
Posted to Little Girl Attorney (RE: this fee/costs data submitted to the court) Updated 07/03?2026
I am trying to remember how the judge worded his order, I do remember the word, "reasonable" being used, so an obvious epic fail there. However, Judge Liman seems to be fond of 2nd chances so alternatives: (1) return the filing while instructing the plaintiff's attorneys to "show their work" within a 2-week time frame or (2) will he wait for Wayfarer's reply? I lean towards the 2nd alternative, unless the judge is big mad, then alternative one. RANDOM QUERYS: Very tin hat time, but that oopsie of leaving in the "perjury" research, could that be PR for the benefit of the 2 firms representing the plaintiff? Allegedly saying to future clients, "we know" without the danger of a sanction concerning speaking inappropriately regarding any current clients? As for leaving in the "Sloan" portions, that is just bait, perhaps giving something for Wayfarer to focus on to the exclusion or more relevant line items? If so, they highly underestimate Wayfarer.
Atty Larry Forman (Judge Gildea MAYBE quoting Brandeis law student Ashhwika Soni cl'29) 07/03/26
Rant Alert😉. As Larry Forman said of the 1969-1970 trial United States of America v. David T. Dellinger, et al.., (better known as The Chicago 7 trial, was 8 but Bobby Seale was granted a mistrial leaving 7 defendants) had spectacle to spare. According to AI (ah that pesky internet) these were the lead headlines BEFORE the trial began: The Chicago Sun-Times: "8 Charged with Plot at Convention, "National Press: "Chicago Eight Conspiracy Trial". Note the pejorative terminology: plot, conspiracy. Imagine the fate of the defendants and our current knowledge of this trial had media not been allowed in the courtroom? PSA to ALL JUDGES: For our legal system to work as intended, transparency is a critical implement. Exceptions for personal data, minors and victims of SA can easily be managed with a staff and professionalism. The internet will always internet. No judge should summarily toss all users of the internet into the chaos that are the trolls, 'bots and entities immersed in the Dunning-Kruger effect. That is NOT me. That is NOT all of us. Thanks to attorneys and other critical thinkers on platforms such as You Tube, we have seen a revived interest, even excitement, in seeing the judicial system either at work or become passionately upset when it does not work. Transparency shows taxpayers their tax dollars at work, likely creates a more educated jury pool, and producers jurors who will LISTEN carefully then taking that knowledge into the jury room for deliberation. Also when you call a hearing, please hear from those present even if only in writing. BTW is Judge Gildea worse than Judge Cannone, doubtful. Let's wait and see.
Posted to Molly Burke (RE: Convo with Leigh Collins survivor of attack) Uploaded 07/03/2026
I think that this interview is one of the best that Molly has done. Her interspersed anecdotes from her own past trauma coordinated perfectly with Leigh's experiences. Leigh Collins has made an incredible journey from this attack. She is managing the grief for the person that might have been with both logic and critical thinking. I did not expect that the ex would act in such a manner. Some men do leave the relationship as their SO's trauma causes them to see themselves as scared or weak. These are things that they cannot even admit to themselves, never mind others. However, I was not expecting to hear Leigh report that her ex made prevarications to their friend group then moving on to defame her on social media. My (very) amateur psych explanation is that he had to tear her down to bring himself up. I do watch true crime in the format of live streamed trials. I also enjoy listening to the investigators. Profilers are fascinating. They do not know the person's ID yet they can describe the person. Leigh Collins has done more than survived. She has grown into someone who is very self-aware. I can only hope that in the future, I might become even half as insightful then as she is now.
Posted to Hannah Rickkets (RE: Review of the (new) Waldorf Astoria Hotel) Uploaded 07/03/2026
It appears that they brought in some 21st century Michelangelo-type artisans for the lobbies and common areas. While the rooms got the business-temu treatment? Before the renovations, I speculate that the management surveyed their frequent guest demo. Likely that demo is composed of business travelers who would prefer a classy hotel with a majestic entryway matched with a suitably impressive and expensive restaurant to wine and dine clients? Would I stay at the Waldorf Astoria? Definitely not at 1500 USD/per night. For that price I want more amenities, not simply a few over-decorated candies plus a few Barbie doll-sized tropical fruit items. Maybe a box of postcards on the old and the new Waldorf Astoria wrapped in bespoke paper? Or perhaps a coffee table book with this hotel's history? Such amenities would actually would be free advertising for the hotel. Where was that hotel who gave you the stuffed bear? Now that was my idea of an amenity! Positives on the room: no mystery hair or problematic tap water😉. I have heard that NYC is quite expensive to make it one's home, even for a night. I would rate it 8.5 if you are traveling on your business credit card. Of course that is assuming that the WiFi is spectacularly reliable and there are lots of outlets with adaptors. For tourists, I would think that a rating of 6.0/10 would be fair if you just wanted a little bit of the luxury NYC hotel experience, but only considering the room as a place for sleeping, showering and changing clothing.
Posted to Dr. Patrice Berry:Psychologist Reacts (16 children found imprisoned in one room) 07/03/2026
As Dr. Berry indicated the children under 5 years of age will likely have the best chance for some level of normality. Most of the children are older than that age range. I cannot imagine teaching an older child such as a 12 year old how to use a toilet or a bath/shower, never mind the intricacies of language when there is no basic syntax to build upon. The tantrums my children had as toddlers when they were frustrated or overly stimulated were manageable and understandable. In an older child that same tantrum while understandable, could quickly become dangerous to all involved. I looked up the story of Genie on wiki. The mistreatment, mistakes and mishandling of Genie did not end when she was taken out of her original environment in the 1970's. Perhaps with more recently educated professionals using computer-aided learning programs can return more than just the youngest ones back to society even if only in a limited/group home way. Such a sad story.

Not a behavior analysis query, but I am so confused about the parents. How can these 2 manage anything required by adults in our society? Somewhat humiliating for me to admit to (shh! 😉), but as an adult I have, on occasion, shown such behaviors that could be described as being petty, childish or at best, naive. The parents of Mackenzie appear to be in that mode of those terms (at least in public videos) 24/7. How do people in that mode manage to survive this long without appearing on LE records or even social media in a negative way? It took their direct descendant, Mackenzie to bring these 2 entities cosplaying as adults into our view. What a waste the such people could end the paths of those 2 young men who deserved long productive lives with their families.

Also, he was so emotionally attached to his laptop that even Judge Cannone (alleged fan of all prosecutors everywhere) admonished him. I checked the Aperture (for those who know, sing the song) site. Judson B. Welcher, is still listed as Executive Vice President. In his CV under Work Experience: "...He has testified in Local, State and Federal courts regarding Accident Reconstruction and Bio-mechanical Engineering from California to Massachusetts...."

Posted to Roxxsaurus (RE: Comparing Dups to OG's) Uploaded to You Tube on 07/05/2026
The OMHU Teddy sofa in the sponsored portion of this video was definitely better quality for long term ownership. A dup which averages between 220 - 820 USD on ETSY (U.S.) might be preferable if: (1) moving to a college dorm, (2) knowing your rental is only for one year, or (3) using in a child's room/play area. Roxx is right, that Comfrt hoodie is definitely for travel. I think that is why the hood is well padded (which does end up accidentally making its user convert to "chipmunk mode") as the manufacturer also assumes that you will be sleeping on public transport. I have a Stanley 40 oz. (in Oasis Peach Whip Gloss but looks shiny pink), it is my only one. I agree with another comment, in actual daily use The Stanley might fulfill its task longer and better than a dup. I paid 45 USD for my Stanley in June 2025 on Amazon. Still same low price 🤣as of 07/05/2026. I have never tried any rhode beauty products. TIL(thanks to AI), in August 2025 e.l.f. purchased rhode from Hailey Bieber for one billion USD!! Some of that must have been in stock as that is a HUGE amount of taxable cash. Ironic in how e.l.f. which is known for very affordable (and reliable, I use some items) department store make up is now the owner of a luxury brand on Sephora.

NOT POSTED -- PERHAPS COMMENTS TURNED OFF?
I am not a viewer of the Kardashian/Jenner reality shows. I will admit to buying a few items of shape-wear on KK's site during "sales" which brings the items more in line with the regular high quality shape-wear. I buy the items because I like them them. I do not expect to put on shape-wear to have the people at the grocery store I go to confuse me with any celebrity. I did become somewhat upset at KK when she tried to squash into the vintage dress of an icon (Marilyn Monroe). While it did not trash the dress, it did damage parts of the dress. And it was all for a photo op at the 2022 MET Gala. Ordinarily I would say that information regarding any procedures done to change your body or face is private as protected by HIPAA. However, when your appearance is essentially your job then honesty is both ethical and crucial for fans and the general public.
Posted to Elsrich (RE: TS/TK wedding - no BL or RR even in town that day) 07/06/2026
Possibly BL's 2026 MET Gala appearance was a test. However, BL and her minions (employees, not the cute little yellow guys) had to have done some advance work regarding the 2026 MET Gala such as hair, makeup, finding the archival Atelier Versace gown, fittings for the gown, that silly/far too pricey Judith Leiber bag so that BL would have a family-related talking point for interviews. Most importantly permission had to be acquired from, and seating with, Anna Wintour. Going to an event on July 4th to watch one of their children ride in an equestrian competition was probably the first smart thing that I have seen coming from this couple since early 2024. As for the TS/TK wedding (likely only one of several so who knows what their anniversary date is), as expected it was a spectacle. As such there was no need for the clown car to arrive containing those two. MOVIE SUGGESTION: please do any rock scene (probably is most of the movie) from BL's 2016 movie, The Shallows. A not too too bad movie whose title has NOT aged well😉.

Thank you Brian Entin (and trusty assistant Mo) for staying with this case. As frustrated as all of us are with Pima County along with this leak to Reuters, thank you for staying with this case (and others). I do appreciate the Steve Moore interviews. His calm critical thinking skills are what is needed (glad power tools are on hold for now). I keep thinking back to the tragic case of 9 year-old Melodee Buzzard. Wasn't she found by accident? I believe that it was either by wildlife researchers or hikers. I am afraid that at this point, found by accident may be the only way that Nancy Guthrie will be found. QUESTION: Any leads on how Derrick Callella got such a gift in the form of his agreement to plead guilty, to go into drug treatment to then receive zero jail time and 5 years probation? He claimed to be altered when he made bogus texts and phone calls to Guthrie family members. QUESTION: If Derrick Callella was so altered, how in the world was he able to do research on the Guthrie family, make a detailed plan, set up accounts then go on to commit multiple criminal acts by contacting Guthrie Family? IMO he handled those unknown substances, just fine. Which begs the question, did the prosecution get anything else?
Posted to Kjersti Flaa (RE: Headlines on RR and BL not being invited to TS wedding) 07/07/2026
I love how Kjersti perfectly pinpoints the moments that are particularly hilarious regarding these celebs. Very telling headlines on Hollywood reactions to RR and BL not being invited to TS and TK's wedding. MSM was all quiet on the Justin/Wayfarer front regarding putting Justin and his group in the basement on IEWU premiere night, publishing news articles as ephemeral as fluff, reading texts exposing the venality of the plaintiff and friends. The final straw, the fork in the road, the turning point, the epiphany for Hollywood is: RR and BL NOT being invited to that wedding? That is Hollywood and the entertainment industry summarized in one observation. Glad to see your show's producer is not mourning the lack of the PGA mark. Oscar is doing a masterful job without that mark. Anyway, I hear rumors that indicate the value and significance of such marks has been slipping recently.😜

Actually not as pessimistic a reading as I thought that it would be. For especially difficult courses in school, the professors will grade you "on the curve" (averaging within the class scores). I consider celebrity marriages the same way. Assuming the criteria that no one gets physically hurt, child custody is handled sanely and there is a pre-nup regarding cash, even if this marriage only lasts a few years in terms of mega-celebrities, that is a "passing grade" (aka a success).

I agree with NAG in that there is no tagline for this subject. It should be: believe the victim, investigate the incident thoroughly, all involved tell their side, LE examines the receipts (journal, texts, emails) and then acts accordingly. Somewhat lengthy for MSM. A slogan or motto is something that suits the clickbait objectives of MSM. Clickbait is laziness by the publisher/editor and incomplete (or even inaccurate) data for the reader. The term clickbait is a term only in use for a few decades. However, its "analog" format has been with us since the first printed (paper or tablets😉) newspaper. Time to evolve.

IMO Amy Griffin is the one who needs to have this settled asap. I believe the company she and her husband have a stake in, Lykos wishes to resubmit that drug (the one that Amy Griffin took for her memory recapture) for FDA approval. Also there is Amy Griffin's credibility on the line. At least per AI, her primary occupation is as a venture capitalist. Due to the volatile and complicated nature of startups for groups to invest in, finding a trustworthy venture capitalist is vital. Having Jane Doe's case brought to court, with Jane Doe winning, might create uncomfortable ripples in areas of Amy Griffin's life. What makes me hesitate in doing more than lean towards Jane Doe's version of events, is my confusion as to why anyone (such as Amy Griffin) would risk exposure? Then again before December 2024, who would have thought that a well-known actor and her even more well-known husband (who wears spandex in his most financially successful films), would take the alleged path from Delulu Land to the undocumented (by Dante Alighieri) 10th circle of h3ll?
Posted to NotActuallyGolden (RE: Judge Gildea and all the Read civil trials) Uploaded 07/08/2026
IMO Judge Gildea is infuriated on 2 fronts: (1) he did not like the idea of Karen Read and some of her legal team appearing on TODAY show on the morning of Friday, June 5, 2026. In Judge Gildea's opinion (not mine as there was no order preventing this appearance), this action was turning these trials in HIS courtroom into "spectacle" (2) he so over the games that the lawyers for the McAlberts, MSP along with current and former LE.are pulling in HIS courtroom. If Judge Gildea believed the attorneys in his courtroom had leaked medical info, sanctions likely would have flowed freely throughout that courtroom. Judge Gildea essentially did what an exasperated, out of patience teacher would do when faced with 1/2 the class ignoring him with the other 1/2 harassing him. Judge Gildea kept everyone "after school" via the action of that hearing where only the Judge was allowed to talk. While I do not agree with that methodology, I do understand it.

Very good reading of this wedding. I had not thought of the Machiavellian personality, but it fits the venue and July 4 time period. This is when many are away on vacation with other commitments. Madison Square Garden is known for its acoustics and size, not its luxury and comfort. I agree with ant that TS and her team were using the wedding to see how people would react then weed out the posers and pretenders. I am guessing that the ones who complained about the discomfort of the seating, the long lines at the buffet and running out of champagne are currently on the cutting room floor as unneeded and unwanted.🤣 I can see why ant does not wish to do more of these wedding videos, it is like analyzing a corporate hype meeting with everyone clapping when the CEO enters the room.😉

Justin and Emily Baldoni, everyone at Wayfarer and their families suffered yet survived to see that THEIR truth is now THE truth. To thank the public for their support is the ultimate level of ethical and compassionate behavior. To those formerly hidden by PR and legalities, go in peace or please just go away.

Exactly, I was entering the civil suits with the bias of the circus that was Read's criminal trials. Interesting about taking the fifth. I doubt Proctor's lawyer will let him make that mistake. Hence (tin hat time) what I believe to be that old horror movie trope in that, "the call is coming from within the house". I mean who benefits from the leak? IMO. seems like mostly Proctor. BTW the shorts look fine to me. I adore the red shoes, maybe wear more light toned neutral footwear which will bring focus back up to the top? I also have a wide rib cage which makes me have to size up in tops and essentially not wear dresses. Expert tailoring is too expensive for my budget and not in my skill set. So I always appreciate options.

Now I know that those boards should be avoided. Also that after opening ("hello") a board should always be closed afterwards ("bye"). I knew none of that when I was in my teens. Two close friends wanted to use that board. I felt uneasy, not about them, but the activity. I participated anyway. They thought it was fun. They were asking about our futures (husbands, children). I kept my question time very short. I cannot remember anyone closing it (aka "bye"). A few months later one of the girls came down with a rather bad virus, her recovery took most of the school year. The other girl had a tragedy in her family which she would never discuss. We all drifted apart after graduation. No arguments, no drama, only time moving on. As for me, the person whose name the board spelled that I would marry, I later divorced. Since my life then improved, I can't say the karma hit me too badly. I LOVE Lady Zelda stories. Could we have a video on what contact that Lady Zelda's grandmother had with Lorraine Warren? Since Lorraine Warren's passing, I have heard all kinds of rumors about her and especially concerning her husband, Ed Warren. I believe that her daughter is still with us, so understandable if certain details cannot be told.

BL and her legal team tried to cancel Justin. However the lawsuit ended up canceling those who instigated the lawsuit. One can only imagine the liability insurance that the studios would have to pay on any film with RR or BL in major roles, not to mention reluctant directors or co-stars. Who would hire BL or RR to be the face of their product? It is likely that Hollywood might also be avoiding a business relationship with either Justin Baldoni or Wayfarer. The executives in Hollywood are not know for their bravery. To Hollywood even with JB and Wayfarer being scandal-adjacent even though not guilty of any crime is a negative. IEWU was always going to be a success with its low (for Hollywood) film cost of 25M USD matched with the fanbase of Colleen Hoover. What none of the execs could foresee is the high level of curiosity from people who just wanted to see the two actors interact on camera. Bottom line, the scandal made the bottom line equate to more profit. They don't call Hollywood Delulu Land for nothing.😉
Posted to penguinz0 (RE: Update of Bricks & Minifigs scandal) Uploaded to YT on 07/09/2026
Bricks & Minifigs is a privately held company (BAM Franchising Inc) so no angry stockholders or appalled board of directors. In order to stop the damage that its CEO is allegedly inflicting on this company's reputation, the CEO would have to fire himself? Meanwhile that police-wannabe-lawyer might wish to be more careful in allegedly practicing law without a license, especially on a recorded line.. I wonder if the franchisee contract disallows a class action law suit? This kerfuffle cannot be good for the franchise holders. BTW I thought Google had to notify the YT channel holder before they released anything especially personal or financial data, so as to enable that person/channel to file a Motion to Quash in court or negotiate a Protective Order with the opposing attorney?
Posted to Kjersti Flaa (RE: BL & RR in Canada during TS/TK wedding) Uploaded 07/10/206
Having MSM post annoying, unfunny and unverified comments about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding does sound like something from the RR playbook. However MSM can make "mistakes" without RR's assistance. It seems unlikely that even a megalomaniac would take on Taylor Swift or Travis Kelce (which is essentially also taking on Taylor Swift). Any PR gifts to MSM would be likely on the level of a mosquito bite (uncomfortable but transitory) rather than any conflict of mutually assured d3struction. Anyone notice the adjective "crime-ridden" in the captioning beneath the Gin Done image from The Daily Mail? Yes, portions of Portland do have a high crime rate. However it was not low when construction for the center began in 2019-2020 nor was it low in September 2022 when the center opened to the public. Interestingly (and allegedly) the crime rate seemed not to matter to MSM until 2025-26 when sales of Aviation Gin showed a decline.

Who knew that having one's SO laid off would be such a welcome yet critical piece of the puzzle that is seeing a longtime dream taking shape. Thank you for sharing. BTW also thanks for showing the studio. I thought that part of the dream had evaporated into another reality with a different, less fun renter😜. While I do like the whimsey of seeing the making of a frog dressed as a Hobbit, a mouse ready to battle or one's clothing becoming an example of trompe l'oeil, I am looking forward to seeing the themed (I adore themes with gravitas and caffeine) shop grow up. I gladly anticipate the fun and pageantry as I will; not have to wear gloves, eye protection or a respirator-type mask. I was going to add old, quirky work clothes, but hey that is my usual.😉 🎉CONGRATS🎉
Posted to Brian Entin (RE: Interview with the prosecutor in The Turpin Case) 07/10/2026
Most of the 16 children found in that room in Ohio will likely need supervision and care for the rest of their lives. Like Red Cross, FEMA or any organization which goes out to help disaster sites, there needs to be a group with protocols in place to immediately triage the types of care needed, provide proper shelter and medical evaluation for families in crisis before DSS/Adult Services gets into the mix. Is this type of horrific abuse really that rare? The Turpin family was "discovered" in 2018 with the help of an escaped victim, instead of being discovered by proper follow up to the complaints filed by relatives and neighbors. The Siders family located for 4 years in a more isolated area was "discovered" in 2026 due to an arrest warrant on one of the adults in that household for indecent exposure. Perhaps something as simple as a semi-annual town census (with in-person followup for noncompliance) for all residents whether renters or owners might at least expose dangers before they become tragedies? THANK YOU to Brian Entin for the detailed reporting on this tragedy, while acknowledging the pain from that time which prosecutor Kim DeGonia continues to deal with in her life.
Posted to ReportingLiveFromMySofa (RE: Siders Family) Uploaded to YT on 07/10/2026
I am going with Occam's razor. The Siders adults would bring 1 or 2 of the children with them to carry out purchases as these days many places charge for bags. I appreciate this respectful commentary regarding what we have been told via the first responders, what attorneys have said and what are the rumors. The internet needs to stop creating virtual mobs. Who knows what the family dynamics were that impacted Gary Jr and Elizabeth? Whatever affected Gary Jr or Elizabeth also affected the other siblings in those 2 families. BTW I agree, I am also looking at Gary Jr (or the 2nd or whatever his name is) as a "person of interest".
Posted to Attorney Larry Forman (RE: status of pleas) Uploaded to YT on 07/11/2026
Good point by Attorney Larry. These civil cases need a judge who is not only knowledgeable, but who can assert absolute control of their courtroom. Keeping everyone "after school" with that hearing for a speech in courtroom ethics and decorum was a waste of time. At least the Judge did not threaten the room with, and you get a sanction and you get.... At this point, the relevancy concerning that hearing about Gildea's appointment 9 years ago does not matter. What does matter is Read's team possibly trying a reformat of their submissions and in court convos with the Judge. With Judge Cannone you had work around her. Make her believe that she was being respected and obeyed. With this judge I think they might have to explain more, clarify everything, allow for "picky" questions and answer them in the pleadings. All this must be done without any whiff of patronizing or dismissive tones.
Posted to Observe (RE: Analysis of (silent film) of Thomas A. Edison-DayInTheLife) 07/11/2026
This was fascinating. Could you analyze video on former presidents of Edison's time such as Woodrow Wilson or Warren G. Harding? Likely even a "reality show" made over 100 years ago was still affected by a director and producer. I wonder if participants (assuming most were actual employees) were told to go to the wrong (left) ear to provide drama? Maybe those arm motions were slightly sharper than usual? Possibly Edison was on the spectrum. It certainly would align with the skill set of his profession. That message which interrupted Edison in his "secret" (there's some drama) Room 12 was also likely staged. Admittedly I do have a bias regarding reality shows, no matter how old that reality is. According to AI, Edison spent his inventive time boosting audio not creating an improved hearing aid. Edison felt the silence provided in his hearing deficiency made it easier to concentrate. Telling, that Edison did not consider others might be in need of such a device. Your editor must have cut it out, but did the phonograph and records survive those action shots? That portion of the Edison film did remind me of a 2019 Elon stunt. Remember when he was on stage batting on his cybertruck, then broke its window? Ah, good times😜. BTW Loved the added soundtrack.
Hidden Killers w/ Tony Brueski [Discussion of Asa (ex-wife) & Victoria (daughter) of RH] 07/11/2026
I am not a therapist. So this plan is 100% speculation. Treat RH as a dangerous drug with Asa as an addict. Stopping cold, as in zero contact, could be harmful to her. Set up a plan that will show a gradually decreasing level of any contact (email, calls and certainly visits). What drew Asa to RH? Wasn't it security, giving her a safe place to go after a marriage with abu3e? Take that video money plus sell all homes that she and RH owned. Purchase a new home in an area that RH never lived. This is not so much for privacy (that will obviously require a change of name), as to remove her from that "drug" physically and emotionally. I agree with Shauvan Scott, with therapy the daughter probably has a better chance to remake her life. I wish a life of healing and peace for both of them.
Posted to Kjersti Flaa (RE: Tragedy of The Siders Family in Ohio) Uploaded to YT on 07/12/2026
Thank you Kjersti for talking about this subject. Please keep us updated. If even half of the stories regarding these children are proven correct, the older ones (teens) might need lifetime care. The younger ones 6-12 may start acting out (much as any toddler would) as they try to adjust. The youngest (under 5) have the best chance of eventually living a normal life. At this point we don't even know who the perpetrator(s) is or are. Supposedly the warrant being served when the children were discovered was for the younger Siders, Gary Jr. (I have also heard him called Gary 2nd). The warrant was for ind3c3nt exposure. As for the siblings of Gary Jr./2 and Elizabeth, there may be emotional reasons for them not reaching out or visiting. In families where there was extreme emotional and/or physical violence often when these children grow old enough they will leave. To survive this trauma they often limit or even sever connections with parents and siblings. Even seeing a sibling not involved in the abus3 can still trigger panic. At this point we know so little that all we can do is view the Siders family as both tragedy and confusion.
Posted to Brian Entin (RE: Hearing to determine if Tyler Robinson should be tried) 07/07/2026
Thank you Brian Entin for this coverage. A felony was committed. A life was taken. The alleged perpetrator will likely soon be on trial. What bothered me on the day of this tragedy, and still does, is the lack of security on such an open campus with such a controversial speaker as was Charlie Kirk. If the sponsoring group or institution cannot afford security then limit your speakers. Perhaps have speakers in a location easier to protect. Reinforcing this massive miscalculation by those who should have known better, is Utah's laws on weapons. Utah is a state that allows Permit-less (concealed) Carry for individuals 21 and older. Provisional Permits allows 18-20 year old to also carry concealed weapons Per AI, the only proviso for the Provisional Permit group is that they cannot carry on K-12 school campuses. What was the University thinking? What was Turning Point USA thinking? Not going to put on my tin hat to speculate on conspiracies, but I cannot come up with a valid explanation for such obvious missteps.

The amount of word salad coming out of Washington DC regarding Mitch McConnell and Lindsay Graham could fill The House AND The Senate. Why is no one complaining about healthcare, these pointless, dangerous international conflicts and that old subject that seems to strike everyone in DC mute, when will the entirety of The Epstein Files be released with only redactions regarding the VICTIMS. As a former employee in education, I have seen more literate, eloquent and better behavior in my pre-K and K classes.
Posted to antphrodite (Was Death of Nolan Wells on Horn Is. a murder?) Uploaded to YT 07/13/2026
There should be some accountability for those who left Nolan Wells alone on that uninhabited island. This would require a criminal trial. The action of these people was not just immature, it was evil and cowardly. The only element in this reading that I disagree with, is regarding the category that this was "a friend group". I believe that this was a group of people who were acquainted, probably through school, but not cohesive "buddies". It was more than Nolan being a POC. He was an outsider to this group thus easier to dismiss. Ant mentioned that the boys had lawyered up. Good, they need that. Maybe these attorneys will tell their clients, that the first one who speaks up, gets the plea deal.
Posted to Kassidy O'Connell (Wayfarer Response to Lively'sTeam request for 8 million) 07/13/2026
Replay crew here. I always enjoy Kassidy's commentary. Kassidy brought up a valid point which touched a cord in me. I try to make order out of the chaos, sometimes to my own detriment (I panic easily).One would think that those without ethics, compassion and honor would be a rare group. Due to their extreme behavior some go on to become the subject of one of those "made in a day" docs streamed on subscription services. I find it unsettling to think about it, but these people do live among us. Places like You Tube where people like Kassidy O'Connell along with so many others on YT, can bring these facts to light is crucial. Otherwise, where would we be now? What would we know? Even more importantly, what would we NOT know without these talented, passionate critical thinkers providing commentary to events we have trouble parsing?
Posted to The Tilted Lawyer (RE: BL's legal team wants 8.4 millon, what will they get?) 07/13/2026
I believe that the NYT spent approximately $182,000 (using an in-house legal team so less spent) for a 6 month legal fight to have Wayfarer's civil suit dismissed. It took the Lively legal team from January - June (also approximately 6 months) to get Baldoni/Wayfarer countersuit dismissed. Not sure how many filings by plaintiff's team vs. NYT's team that it took to get these suits dismissed. Judge Liman's past rulings in this case are full of rather generous consolation prizes to the plaintiff. Emotionally I want BL's legal team to get 8.00 USD. Not happening. Considering NYT got a discount rate with $182,000, I would double that and award to $364,000 to Lively's attorneys. However being the lover of consolation prizes that this judge has shown in the past to be, Judge Liman will go higher, but not exceeding one million. IMO Judge Liman will award BL's legal team a consolation prize of between 700,000-800,000 USD, although I am hoping it will be considerably lower.
Posted to Brian Entin (RE: Siders Children) Uploaded to You Tube on 07/14/2026
The case has so many contradictions. All the children have birth certificates from hospitals, yet no one knew about them. According to her attorney, Elizabeth keeps asking about her children, wishing to reunite with them. Yet evidence indicates she did not care for even their basic needs. The children were discovered by first responders to be living in one room, in filth, starving, and not able to communicate. Some were so ill that hospitalization was required. Yet only 2 weeks after they were taken out of that home, two of the girls (if this is an accurate account) were supposedly able to tell their foster mother that their mother was again pregnant and with a baby girl? First how can they be that communicative so soon. Second, how do they know the baby is a girl? While a low IQ would make life difficult for anyone, still such an individual would be capable of recognizing basic needs with appropriate reactions. Education ending in grade 8 for Elizabeth and ending in grade 9 for her husband does not automatically indicate diminished capacity. Please keep up with this story. I want to know that life is now better for all 16 children than it was a month ago.
