Posted-NotActuallyGolden (Maybe real but unverifiable draft of The Tell by Amy Griffin) 09/01/2026
NAG could be correct in that a facilitator would never say, "yes, it is real." Perhaps this is a (fan fic?) writer's device to make the point that if it emanates from you, yes it is real? MDMA would be portrayed as the proverbial match which ignited the process of memory.. However BIG caveat, human memory is a malleable thing. It often alters as we alter due to age, time and new experiences. These visions or unearthed memories do not have the verifiable metadata of a video. Extracting and identifying truth from humans is not easy. The closest I have seen is in the techniques used by channels on YT such as The Behavior Panel and The Behavioral Arts. Not sure if the mention of a particular teacher in the draft adds more credibility that this is really Amy Griffin's proposal. My reasoning is, why drop that explosive (and potentially libelous) nugget in a draft that is likely being seen by multiple outlets, most potentially not in your control? Agreed, that The Tell is more business than memoir, so for Amy Griffin, perhaps a rebranding? Fascinating factoid, per AI, sometime this year, Lykos Therapeutics (developer and sponsor of MDMA) rebranded and changed its name to Resilient Pharmaceuticals. Hmm so you get a rebrand and you get a rebrand.... BTW I do love that beautiful blue bouncing asterisk. Much more esthetically pleasing than a chyron running on the bottom of the video like a disaster warning.😜

I can relate to colds. Colds make winding through the chaos that is our world so much more difficult. Sometimes, in my random thoughts I wonder if some rando entity has arbitrarily, albeit very slightly, increased Earth's gravitational pull on its surface (a very niche joke combo of Superman and Q from Star Trek). Forget what I just said, simply hydrate and rest whenever possible. As for that "cult", I am uncertain that I appreciate this knowledge. This comment is being written quite a bit later than when I initially viewed this video. I journeyed (I so wanted to say journaled) down the adorable, useful, "I want it all" rabbit hole that is Hobonichi Techo--A Life Book. I have settled on one or two items (1)an adorable white cat bunny pen and (2) Hobonichi Techo Mini Keychain--but no pencil sharpener included, so forewarning😜? Thank you NAG?

Please listen to Kjersti, oh you celebs who must not be named as you have proven that you will sue anyone, anywhere (even if legally inappropriate), anytime, for anything. Everything that is being done by you and for you via PR is destroying what shreds of relevance and reputation that remain. It is SO simple. Go away for a while. There is even a logical place to go to, Wrexham, Wales, UK. Likely in a year or two all of the suits in the entertainment industry will have forgotten all about this mess, as will many fans. No one should be a walking, living meme of a dark cloud choking out all the air in a room. Wales awaits. PSA: don't tell them you are coming. I hear Prince Harry and Megan are also heading to the UK sometime soon, so everyone is on edge🤣. AND, I am sure for the right price and right size chew toy, that famous (sadly no PGA mark yet) producer, Oscar will be able to give any needy celebs a few moments of his valuable time via Zoom.😉
Posted to Hidden Crime with Tony Brueski (RE: Lindsay Clancy jury deadlocked) 09/01/2026
I find the factor of reasonable doubt in full display. The prosecution showed it themselves with an opening indicating one view and a closing indicating another view. Even the prosecution does not know that there is guilt beyond a reasonable doubt nor have they highlighted a proven motive. This is a court of law. While important elements, this is not a court of ethics, revenge or feelings. This is a court of law as the law exists in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The legal conclusion from that long list on the jury's charge sheets is more indicative of NGRI charge than any of the others listed.

Even though she has passed, periodically Chanel still has to deal with the rep of Coco Chanel. So I was surprised when I heard John Galliano had been chosen for the 2027 MET Gala. As Luke indicated there is always backup. However in this case, I would be not shocked to learn that the backup had been worked on simultaneously to the Galliano one. Whatever the "new" theme may be, I am hoping for something esoteric, niche, abstract, abstruse and wild. While I watch for the beauty and style of the costumes, I stay for the innumerable celebrities whose stylists totally got the theme wrong.🤣

While I feel the patch/bandage is real (many people schedule their annual physical around the the time of birthdays), BL's (& RR's ?) choice to let it be seen to me indicates that it is likely not an important procedure. Like everything else in these people's lives, this is likely performative, PR-related and "look at me"...allegedly of course. Whatever type of person Kenneth Branagh is, when working (and interviews are work for both sides) he is a professional. He knows he is there FOR the movie, not for personal drama. KB will do what is necessary to fulfill his obligations. Hmmm sounds like a certain fav producer of mine who knows how to work intensely so that the naps can be massive.
LittleGirlAttorney (Jed Wallace Counter Suit//Abel vs. Jones now ? Melissa Nathan) 09/02/2026
When PR becomes so obvious, likely due to all these civil lawsuits, they (as allegedly BL and RR have) became the author of their own apocalypse. Distrust of MSM/PR is no longer a niche club. PR's superpower was being covert, behind the scenes and stealth. When we start recognizing people like Lesley Sloane (still, allegedly, working for BL and RR) in red carpet imagery they have lost that superpower. I would use The Emperor's New Clothes (a story by Hans Christian Andersen) as a cautionary tale. Only in our reality these modern day emperors do not even recognize the feeling of the breeze on their exposed skin. We SEE you.🤣 As for Judge Liman, his stamina and lack of meltdowns is impressive. Judge Liman appropriately vents via legal documentation. The term, "blunderbuss approach" is classic. It needs to be on a tee shirt.

I have an opinion on what should happen. I am sure that we all do. I understand writers of the U.S. Constitution made a valuable document to help us govern ourselves. QUESTIONS: (1) Might there be some cases that are too painful, too heartbreaking, too complicated for 12 untrained (in law) strangers thus should be a bench trial? Yes, I know that the Commonwealth law do not allow for a bench trial for 1st degree indicted crime. (2) If a mistrial, is it possible for the DA to allow a bench trial by reducing the charge? (3) Would the judge/jurisdiction remain the same? Ethically (I know not legally) it would be a kindness to all involved, those gone, those here but lost, those in that courtroom who now have all those horrific images in their heads, and the taxpayers of Massachusetts who have to pay for millions for all these trials due to ineffective investigation and questionable decisions by the DA's office.
Posted to Kassidy O'Connell (RE: Jed Wallace CounterSuit in Texas vs. BL) 09/02/2026
Epstein was in operation for almost 2 decades right? Likely there are many privileged and ethically challenged wealthy people who "crossed paths" with Epstein at that island. While this connection is not a good look for RR and Wrexham A.F.C., still that scent of scandal is likely to be found in many many places. I also get upset at the tactics and techniques spewing from BL's legal team. Full disclosure, the following is per my memory, I cannot supply receipts. However within legal filings (likely contained in that 8M request of fees and costs from Wayfarer regarding 47.1) I remember footnotes in small print regarding research on: (1) client perjury issues and (2) is a law firm sheltered from any countersuit. My speculation, IMO and all of that, is my guess that the firms representing BL (and essentially her SO) in all these lawsuits allegedly know exactly what they are doing and what they can get away with.
Posted to ELSRICH (RE: Wayfarer's insurer won't pay) Uploaded to You Tube on 09/02/2026
I agree ethically that the insurer should pay, but it all depends on every word, phrase and footnote in the insurance policy. All insurance companies love our premiums. We often see the reverse when we apply for payment or reimbursement. Many insurer's have an arbitration clause if a client disagrees with the insurer's decision. This company may be allegedly hoping Wayfarer won't spend an additional 100,000+USD in legal fees to get BL's 400,000 USD and/or Wayfarer's attorney fees reimbursed. It does make me laugh that a company insuring a film production or the production company, expects everything to go smoothly. Even without a celeb who thinks that they are a polymath, s**t happens. Any insurance corporation covering expensive items such as a film set and personnel has the budget for floors and floors of in-house experts such as statisticians and actuaries. If any insurer has allegedly no idea of the issues that could arise unexpectedly during a movie production, then I question that insurer's choice of specialization.

"Why not" is her answer? Does she have representation? Could this be early onset of some mental illness?

Posted to Kjersti Flaa (RE: More RR interviews to promote his "new" movie on Apple) 09/03/2026
Listening to a few of these clips of recent RR interviews, IMO seems like RR is parodying himself. What is the end game to, allegedly, over-write history via SEO? Or even more worse, does he, allegedly, believe that there can be a return to that image that we had of him as self-deprecating, amusing and charming? When was that, maybe 2016-ish as by 2018 there were "rumors" regarding the takeover of Deadpool2. In August 2024 when I watched JB's emotional red carpet interview my assumption was that it was joy at seeing HIS movie on the big screen. Now it appears like he was just trying to hold himself together for the good of the film. It is heartbreaking to rewatch that moment. Thank you Kjersti for reminding us what a good human JB is. I am guessing Oscar, the producer who doesn't need a PGA mark to prove his skillset, agrees with his client/protégé by his adorable demeanor.

I agree with NAG, these civil lawsuits are"banana-pants". Can I use that phrase? I will credit this channel. As for this case, as I suspected (insert a Sherlock Holmes voice here), the Ghost "is the how", Claudia "is the who", Dominique Price allegedly "is the when" as in an offer in time, MDMB "is the why" are the keys to solving this case. I think that THE postcard (and maybe even all postcards everywhere as I never see one in use🤣) is the MacGuffin. Maybe not as badly as Jane Doe, but I REALLY want to see ALL the discovery. QUESTION (only theoretical): do you think that there might be billions of reasons as to why MSM is so quiet on this one?
NotActuallyGolden (LC jury deadlock, one juror does not believe in reasonable doubt tenet) 09/03/2026
I am hearing WTF all around me about the judge's (lack of) ruling on this situation along with, at least on the surface pointless (however I see strategy) re-reading reasonable doubt statute. QUESTION: Is this judge sticking to the absolute letter of the law to keep this case from ending back in the hands of a questionable (IMO) DA's office? I base my opinion on the way this case was handled: (1) incomplete/incompetent investigation by LE with the lack of proper forensic testing likely causing consternation among those who know, (2) stipulation by defense to crime details was denied by Commonwealth putting everyone through the loop from h3ll, (3) DA's office ok'd an indictment in 1st degree IMO so as to preclude a bench trial, (4) prosecuted oddly with literally one theory at the opening with a whole new theory at the closing and (5) the DA of Plymouth County allowing the most offensive hair ornament that I have ever seen to be worn by one of his employees in a live streamed trial. Please remember that registered voters in Massachusetts, the offices of DA of Plymouth County (and Norfolk County) will be on a ballot on November 3 2026.

It appears that, allegedly of course, RR is self-aware enough to know that the phrase "my wife" said by him will effect his online popularity stats. In the clip shown, I watched Kenneth Branagh from an amateur's (mine) behavioral analysis viewpoint. The experts are on the YT channels, The Behavior Panel and The Behavioral Arts. KB looked like he was standing stiffly, uncomfortable with the presence of RR's hand on his shoulder. KB's blink rate seemed high (aka stress). IMO KB was trying, but failing, to act like a person happy to be in this particular situation. ALS (what Sandra Bullock's partner died of), is a horrific disease. Yes, I can see her partner asking her to be silent, even with his family. While they are likely still grieving his passing, they should either forgive SB or just move on with their lives. As suggested, I will be watching Lauren's interview with Steve Sarowitz. Also I just subscribed to Lauren's channel, Court of Random Opinion. BTW let the producer nap, he does excellent work when awake.😉
Posted to Kassidy O'Connell (RE: RR odd interviews for his new movie on Apple) 09/04/2026
I do not know what RR's contractual obligations were regarding promoting that film for Apple. It might have been wise of Apple if their PR team had just told RR, don't worry just stay home with the wife and children as this has been a rough time (as in the 21st, not 20th, century😉) for him. Better tasks than making lame jokes during interviews along with making Kenneth Branagh look so very uncomfortable in those interviews might include, but are not limited to: (1) Alphabetize those overpriced handbags by designer's name. (2) Maybe pack up unused BB hair care items for donations. (3) Try to market all that vodka and its merch to one of those surplus supply outlets. (4) Check out home offerings in the northeastern area of Wales, UK (hint: NE Wales is the area of Wrexham A.F.C.) (5) Bake something for IG purposes? Maybe skip that last one, did not work well regarding that rabbit cake.
Posted to Observe (Woman who trespassed - taking video of jury arrival & departure area) 09/05/2026
This trespassing situation is quite concerning. What if that wasn't a camera that this woman possessed? What if she carried something lethal? IMO, this defendant's body language, facial expressions indicated a sense of self-entitlement. While she may be stressed, she is not fearful. I am guessing that those glasses were for reading which could make most of eye involvement being due to allergies. I know nothing about this woman beyond her name and basic stats. Assuming there is no mental illness, then she knew what she was doing was wrong but did it anyway. Interesting, as that description was what the prosecution was attempting to prove in the LC case. Letting her leave on her own recognizance (unless the court is absolutely certain of her stability) may not be wise. I would have requested DSS check in twice daily, ankle monitor w/GPS and a family member to assume responsibility. All of these measures could be even more difficult to maintain if the Commonwealth insists on a retrial. This person needs to be watched until the case concludes, which if in a retrial format could continue all through 2027. Possibly in that long time period inciting even more unstable people to act out. However one feels about this trial, none of this helps prevent tragedies or honors the memory of the three who were lost.
Posted to NotActuallyGolden (Interview-Billy Bush w/Jane Doe classmate, Bryan Jennings) 09/05/2026
I just watched the interview. Interesting, but yes, rambling at times. Try 1.5 speed, the audio was SO much more fluent and easier to comprehend. One thing that I did not know until this interview was that The Tell also mentions (per BB) SA on Amy Griffin in college. I have not read The Tell, but were those college memories recounted with or without MDMA? Chat rooms were in their infancy when Amy Griffin attended college nor was there any YT or FB. So any "receipts" would have to be in handwritten correspondence or verbal recounting at that time. Not only is Bryan Jennings supporting Jane Doe's story, he was also certain that the male teacher involved was definitely not the teacher as described in The Tell. QUESTION: Could the teacher described in The Tell's proposal and book (or for that matter his family) file a lawsuit for libel? I did have a chuckle when BB asked Bryan Jennings if the male teacher's belt with the heavy buckle along with wearing western boots could help identify the real teacher? As Mr. Jennings said, this was Amarillo Texas in the late 1980's so those wearing such accessories would be a considerably substantial demo.😜
NotActuallyGolden (Synopsis thus far of 2 cases, Jane Doe vs Amy Griffin & G vs. D) 09/06/2026
That was an excellent synopsis of the facts and discrepancies in this case. Amy Griffin has MDMA as proof. Jane Doe has at least 7 humans as proof. I never had MDMA, never would want to. However I cannot think of any dream/vision (with or without "a substance") that gave me a factual representation of reality. I tend to believe Jane Doe, as she has receipts in the format of at least 7 people over the years. While Amy Griffin took an untested drug, with a problematic consultant with her who reportedly indicated to Amy Griffin during this process, that everything Amy Griffin saw was indeed "real". If the Griffin couple did not have at risk their reputations and financial stake in MDMA (and its developing company, Resilient Pharmaceuticals), I might be more conflicted. At this point, without the discovery process, I believe Jane Doe. With limited knowledge on my part, I believe at best Amy Griffin is a victim yes, but of false memory and at worst, well that is obvious.

Case One was a bit weird and also a bit funny due to the fact these were 4 adults who could parse science and logic. However WHO asked the Children's Court of Queensland to make a ruling? DNA testing confirmed biological parentage. Had the judge involved had "opinions" on surrogacy or birth might have instructed (obviously would be appealed) one set of parents to give up their child. As for Case Two, MDJ is right, this is a nightmare. Was this surrogate vetted? Isn't psychological testing required? Is a surrogacy contract unenforceable should the surrogate move to Texas? Unfortunately with the status of politics and opinions in the U.S. the chance of 50 states agreeing on anything especially such as Case Two is zero. However that was a beautiful dream MDJ told at the end of this video. I hope it turns out to be that family's reality. As for the surrogate, well is there a "no fly" list for surrogates?

As others have mentioned in the comments, this film was the ONLY new movie released on Apple+ on September 4 2026. Winning a race is easy if you are the only entrant. As for good reviews, perhaps this movie is a decently made interesting action flick, allegedly? I have not seen this movie. I am sure the PR spin based on these Apple+ stats will be spectacular, shiny, with sparklers to spare. Remember that the actors were hired and that movie was made, before IEWU. Employing an actor to solely portray a character who then suddenly feels that said actor nows "own" the film is not going to appeal to many directors, writers, editors or most importantly, liability insurers...allegedly. I speculate that to the entertainment industrial complex this "success" is an anomaly until there is a resounding success elsewhere. If RR truly is in Avengers:Doomsday, even in cameo format, that may be enough to convince some people they can hire him and control him.

Hopefully this is a learning curve issue for all involved (management and spectators). New media (influencers) do not understand the rules and etiquette of tennis. The US Open management skews older, so likely not familiar with new media. The CEO of USTA (which per AI manages and owns the US Open), Craig Tiley is in his mid-sixties. While Eric Butorac who is 45 years old is the Tournament Director appointed for the 2026 tournament. I am not sure if his job title is honorary or he works with people and policies. I think all concerned need several Zoom meetings before they can "rally" at any professional tennis tournament.

Replay watcher here. All the jurors went through the voir dire process. All the jurors knew who the defendant was. They knew who the victims were along with their relationship to the defendant. Just on the basis of prosecution's differing expert witness testimonies and the differing opening and closing of the prosecution to me equated to ample reasonable doubt. We don't know what was exactly on that note submitted by the foreperson. A juror is there to be the fact finder, a member of a group called a jury. I can understand not being comfortable with a NGRI verdict or accepting the legal concept of reasonable doubt. However, now you are no longer a finder of fact. Now you are an individual with a personal viewpoint who has bias. Even if our assumption regarding this juror is accurate, I still do not blame the juror. I blame the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, specifically the DA of Plymouth County (who btw is on the ballot on November 3 2026 for re-election) for both deciding to prosecute then over-charging after an incompetent investigation by LE.

I had to run his interview with the classmate friend of Jane Doe's, Bryan Jennings, at 1.50 speed. Not sure if I can get used to BB's fondness for the word, "literati"😉. NAG was correct. This is another good interview regarding these lawsuits involving Jane Doe and Amy Griffin. Now I realize that allegedly Amy Griffin and/or her legal team outed two private individuals; Jane Doe and a teacher from that school, but who Jane Doe says, is not the one who SA'd her. I keep getting the vibe of Jane Doe as Justin Baldoni and Amy Griffin as you-know-who, allegedly🤣. Am I entering into the tin hat territory? I am still open to AG being correct in some way..

Posted to Lawyer You Know (Interview by MSM network AM show of Kevin Reddington) 09/09/2026
Some of these MSM morning shows (only known to me by my limited exposure via YT commentary videos) have less than incisive, on-point, impartial interviews. Being a competent interviewer requires "a certain set of skills". Among them is not allowing your personal bias show, being well-informed about the subject and a great listener. I am not saying anything good or bad about any particular interview. IMO, part of the decline in MSM, is due to a tendency towards "gotcha" adversarial interviews. One person on both YT and MSM who has an excellent skillset is Brian Entin. He does impartial, respectful and informative interviews on the most complex and sensitive subjects which seem to flummox the less adept interviewers. Also, IMO, the request for pardon from the U.S. president was code for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in general and the DA of Plymouth County (btw up for re-election on November 3 2026) in particular to start using all, not just some, of their IQ points.

Now they are an amalgam resulting in something different. I do not keep up with any sport, but I enjoy the discourse (kind of like Real Housewives talk). I find it fascinating how even with seemingly straight forward contracts for pro team athletes and their employers, that disagreements can often only be resolved in a court of law.

Also, Occam's Razor in that while it might have been too late to make Katie Case a "J.Doe" in the OG case, so this new civil suit filed? Why the wait since 2022? My speculation is that SJ, allegedly like all the players on the RR/BL team, could not conceive of losing. Plus, no insult intended, I do not believe Katie Case to have been on SJ's radar due to KC's less significant status during her employ at Jonesworks. As NAG hypothesized, discovery in the Katie Case (Case and case😕) might allow SJ to access data for the much more visible Abel/Nathan et al law suit. Guessing that Jonesworks would need a special filing/permission to include such data? If my amateur/1 minute😉 research is correct, then there is a 6-year New York statute of limitations that governs the contract claim even if moved to Federal Court.
Posted to Attorney Larry Forman (RE: Commentary on Boston NBC-10 3 jurors interview) 09/09/2026
I agree some of the ex-juror's responses seemed odd concerning KR. IMO this says more about Kevin Reddington's skillset along with these people being nervous on camera. KR may look like your grandfather, but he has the adaptive speed in a courtroom of someone much younger. Yes, this shows my bias. Admittedly we still do not know exactly what that one holdout juror said during deliberation. In any case, 12 people, strangers to one another, after voir dire become one group, a jury. Being human, their differences follow them into deliberation. To come to a consensus, there needs to be examination of all the evidence along with a civilized (as in no physical touching) debate. Accepting the role of being a juror also means that you accept the mandate of a juror. Voir dire/written questionnaire was the time to say, "I do not think that I can be impartial." IMO there was considerable reasonable doubt in this case, perfectly illustrated by the prosecution's flip in opinion from their opening to their closing statement, prosecution expert witnesses who voiced contradictions more than presented fact. The LE investigation did not properly recover, secure and test the evidence. The neighbors were not immediately interviewed. A timeline of this crime was not fully completed, at least before the indictment. What should happen now? Well, the person who will decide whether or not there is to be a retrial, a change of indictment, a plea deal or any combination of those details, is the DA of Plymouth County. BTW, he is up for re-election on November 3 2026. If registered please vote thoughtfully.

Thank you to ant for this reading. Maybe just skim the comments? I believe most of us to be respectful even if we disagree.This case was mishandled literally from day one due to: (1) Commonwealth of Massachusetts does not allow a bench trial for 1st degree felonies thus forcing a group of unprepared people to become the finders of fact as one jury, (2) the plea of NGRI in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is up to the prosecution to prove, beyond a reasonable doubt, that LC was NOT eligible for NGRI, but most U.S. states leave that burden to the defense, (3) people sentenced to a secure mental health institution under Chapter 123, Sections 15 and 16 of the Massachusetts General Laws. indicate that reviews must be held annually, so potentially someone could be released due to professional incompetence and (4) there wasn't a thorough LE investigation as in securing and testing evidence, getting statements from neighbors, securing all tech thus leaving the prosecution wanting for incontrovertible evidence. Now we are left with those present during this trial many of whom likely have PTSD, a trial which accomplished almost nothing and no justice for those 3 children. IMO the next trial should be a bench trial which in accordance with Commonwealth law would mean that the DA of Plymouth County must lower the indictment. Relevant or not, the office of the DA of Plymouth County is on the November 3 2026 ballot in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for re-election.
Posted to NotActuallyGolden (Interview w/3 jurors-NBC-10 Boston & 2nd int/Reddington) 09/09/2026
I attributed those interesting yet odd descriptors by these jurors of Reddington as being due to television nervousness and misunderstanding of Reddington's strategic skillset. I would compare Kevin Reddington's skillset as analogous to a gold medal level Olympic skater able to do groups of difficult moves each dependent on what part of the music is being played. Reddington can flip strategies as flawlessly as some skaters do on their flips. Serving on a jury may be a civic duty, but IMO that there are some trials that go a bridge too far in asking untrained citizens to rise above and beyond certain biases and crimes. This trial was set up for failure due to a few rather unique Commonwealth laws: [1]1st degree felonies cannot have bench trials, [2] the prosecution has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that LC is NOT eligible for NGRI verdict, [3] a less than competent LE investigation (evidence, interviews, testing all lacking in expertise). Irregardless as to this particular jury, IMO if as a juror you cannot set aside your biases during deliberation, you should not be on a jury. If you cannot understand, accept or process the concept of reasonable doubt, again you should not be on a jury. I agree that theoretically/legally a mistrial presents all participants another chance to "get it right". However, this re-trial is likely to be different. It will expose yet another group (court employees, jurors, spectators) to the PTSD of haunting, even debilitating memories. Where in this, admittedly abstract, scenario is the justice for those 3 children?

Besides the obvious is it worth it, on any new tech I let others be the "beta testers". That personal rule is not schadenfreude, only my budget constraints. If you are careful, interestingly enough sometimes reddit has valid points on new tech. Streaming "documentaries" in the True Crime genre seem more performative than informative, at least to me. I just can't get into them. Perhaps it is the timing, as in maybe after all the trials for a particular crime/civil dispute are done I would be more intrigued? However these days with BL, Adelson, even LC, the trials (like the chaos😜) never ends. With YT channels like NAG, I get facts or even educated speculations which I find much more satisfying.

I agree the Katie Case case (great now I have sunk to the level of making a "dad" joke), is a treasure hunt by SJ to get more data for the "other" law suit. Both Tom Hanks and Henry Winkler were rather young at that time (filming of Turner & Hooch), so who knows? Personality conflict and different working styles equating to hurt feelings sounds likely. John Malkovich's situation sounds like someone in PR allegedly used an AI to come up with a pseudo-quote. If that speculation is accurate that would make the excuse, "human error" hilariously ironic. There are not too many producers who could get away with PDA with their clients, but we know that Oscar is in a class by himself.

Sorry about Bernie. It is always difficult when our animal companions pass. It is especially painful when their human has to make that devastating choice. Back to delulu land. Highly likely, only speculation, that in future interviews if RR is asked about his "hero" phone call, he will allegedly indicate that it was said in a "joking" manner. PSA: Even if the interviewer nervously smiles, they do not believe you. Try a different image. Stop posting awkward comments about your SO. Stop fighting The Streisand Effect with all these lawsuits. Instead be quiet, do charity work without alerting the media. Maybe even disappear for self-reflection, possibly script writing classes that teach storytelling, not how to insert lame jokes into every scene. Do that for a year or two in the beautiful countryside of someplace, oh I don't know, someplace as beautiful (and far far away) as Wales? 😉 Just speculating.
Posted to Lawyer You Know (RE: Convo with Annie Elise of seriesously with Podcast) 09/10/2026
Great discussion with Annie Elise. I appreciate that she said that she can get caught in the proverbial rabbit hole search like many of us. IMO, this should been a bench trial (not possible in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for 1st degree felonies) not a jury trial. Putting 12 random, untrained, strangers (to one another) into a room to be finders of fact for this specific type of case is problematic, not to mention the PTSD from viewing the evidence. I do not blame any juror. I blame the one person responsible for choosing to make this indictment. He also made the choice to overcharge the defendant in spite of an incompetent LE investigation. That one person is the DA of Plymouth County. This person is running for re-election on November 3 2026 in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. YES, cameras should definitely be in any courtroom (with privacy for the victims, the jury, also no closeups of attorneys'/judge's papers/tech/lips). We the people are in charge of oversight. Wrongs that happen "in private" might wait for decades for those falsely convicted to be exonerated or tragically never be exonerated.
Posted to NotActuallyGolden (RE: Thoughts on the statements from 5 of the LC jurors) 09/10/2026
I experienced the jury selection process twice. I was not chosen either time. In one I said I was against capital punishment. In another I admitted that I could not be impartial during a domestic battery trial. I see NAG's point about a replacement. Yes, it might have turned into even more of a circus. However I still want to know how that juror went through the voir dire process and (usually given) questionnaire without being self-aware enough to know that "feelings" that could impact deliberation. Everyone that was picked knew the case that they would be serving on. They knew who the victims and the defendant were. Isn't acceptance of reasonable doubt a mandate for any juror? It is even possible that out of all those people who said they could be impartial, more than one was wrong. It is my hope that the DA of Plymouth County changes the charge which would then allow this to be a bench trial. It is difficult for me to admit, but likely in a few months I may forget about this case. What about the spectators, courtroom employees and the jurors who saw and heard all that horrific evidence? Doubtful that they will forget anytime soon. Possibly some will develop PTSD. Should a 2nd trial proceed again as a jury trial likely there will be still no justice for the victims along with even more people being traumatized. The person responsible for this charge/indictment, the DA of Plymouth County, will be on the November 3 2026 Commonwealth of Massachusetts ballot for re-election. Just food for thought.
Posted to Ashley Briana Eve (Erika Kirk's essay on Charlie Kirk one year after his death) 09/10/2026
Yes, Ashley's version was more emotive, considerable heartstrings being pulled, as opposed to Erika Kirk's essay. A year ago, when Charlie Kirk was taken so violently, it seemed Erika Kirk was more angry, disappointed than sad. Still that could have been grief for her at that moment. However this essay does seem the verbal equivalent of a highly auto-tuned singer who can't really perform. There is no warmth, compassion or personality in this essay. Perhaps their relationship was more CEO and his COO rather than romantic? Political aspirations? Oh I hope not.
Posted to Brian Entin (RE: Convo with Mark Bederow regarding LC holdout juror) 09/11/2026
As Mark Bederow has said, anything we learn about the holdout juror likely would not change the decision of mistrial. However since this video was uploaded, I have read the following (sources: per AI, per research by NBC 10 - Boston, reprinted by The Hill): (1) 2021 Dismissed Domestic Assault Charge: a nephew of the holdout juror witnessed this holdout juror hitting/throwing his then wife. Charges were dropped after the divorce and due to child custody issues (2) 2021 Active Restraining Order: same nephew had this filed due to assault and battery by the holdout juror (before he became a juror in LC trial) as retribution for calling police on the domestic abu3e of the now ex-wife (3) filed 09/2026 - likely during LC jury deliberation -> Eviction Judgement: by the holdout juror's landlord for $12,000 in unpaid rent (equates to approximately 5 months of unpaid rent). QUESTION TO BRIAN ENTIN: Can this data can be confirmed or disproven or simply explained? Odd that the DA of Plymouth County did not catch the fact that there was an Active Restraining Order on a potential juror. BTW the DA of Plymouth County will be on the ballot for re-election on November 3 2026.
Posted to The Behavioral Arts (RE: Spidey's analysis of Nathan Fielder's doc on EH) 09/12/2026
I had heard of Nathan Fielder, but never watched, "Nathan For You". I am not drawn to his method of entertaining by schadenfreude. For example a man slipping and falling on a banana peel is not funny to me. However seeing that man being requested to make an avant-garde sculpture using said banana peel then puts that item like a hat placed on top of his extravagant, overpriced coffeemaker would make me laugh (likely just me). Regarding Elizabeth Holmes, I have watched many interviews with, and speeches by, her. At the beginning of this trailer clip, the biggest shock was hearing EH's actual voice. This clip is more Blumhouse Productions (interestingly AI indicates that this is an A24 production which is also noted for its intriguing sometimes shocking films) than documentary. As Spidey said, THOSE EYES, I was instantly reminded me of super villains just before they initiate their dastardly plan for world domination. Nathan Fielder is more complicated for me to read. When the camera pulls back, IMO now this clip looks like two people goofing around in a staring contest with that incongruous movement of EH explained. Now what primarily scares me/gives me pause is not the eyes, voice or facial expression of EH. Now what scares me is the abstracted way that she is caring for the baby. I speculate that she knows that this entity must be taken care of, but none of that is "personal" to her. Of course my thoughts are based on a clip of a clip, so who knows? YES, please Spidey, do a multipart commentary of this documentary that releases in October 2026 (according to AI, in theaters?). AI reports it is THREE hours, so clear your schedule!🤣
Posted to Nate The Lawyer (RE: Holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy trial being revealed) 09/12/2026
Before I learned the color or gender of the hold out juror, what I found disturbing was that any juror on this trial did not fully comprehend the applicable law in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Whether you agree with this law or not, currently in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in consideration for a NGRI verdict, it is ONLY the job of the prosecution to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that NGRI does not apply to the defendant. Defense has no burden of proof. My speculation, (aka what I "heard" in juror interviews) was that the holdout juror said that they did not believe that either the prosecution OR the defense proved their case. Isn't that reasonable doubt? What about the prosecution's vastly differing opening and closing statements? Isn't that reasonable doubt? We do NOT need juror names or their personal data. What we DO NEED (with redactions regarding that personal data) is information from any juror contact via notes/communication to the judge. It is concerning that the court obviously was incompetent in their background checks. Shouldn't an active restraining order (whatever its reason for being filed) highlight any potential juror? NATE: this statement will likely undermine any shred of credibility that I have, but I wish the holdout juror had been a white male in his mid 40's. This discussion on the race of this or any juror should be irrelevant. What is relevant is willingness of jurors to be: impartial/follow the law, provided safety and openness by the court. We are a curious species. Hide the truth will only result in us providing something else to fill that empty space.

Elise was so eloquent and clear in her comments. I knew about the humans' mixed emotions about delivering their "teenaged" puppies for further education (like Molly said it is like sending your children off to college). However I wondered how the dog feels about leaving the human that they have known for so long. Elise mentioned that as the surrender time approached, her other puppy (Brenda) had begun to get bored with the current environment. Likely the breeding, but perhaps comparable to that time that human teenagers enter when they have to leave in order to continue their path.

Changing one's opinion based on verifiable data and learning is priceless and honorable (as in TurtleDove's opinion of LC). One of the few things that I may have a problem with is now part of history. No matter how soulless or vile (allegedly) that some people are, I would not go to a girls soccer game to try to question one of that malevolent mob (the word "mob" is obviously metaphorical 😜, and alleged) .

I look forward to seeing this case at least reach the discovery process so that ALL communications can be revealed. This lawsuit is much more than a legal device to gain financial recompense. This is a lawsuit for redress of the harm inflicted upon Mr. Vituscka's reputation allegedly by his former employer. BTW random Kassidy question.

Completely agree (of course about that bag, but caveat emptor on resale sites), but also regarding a gift of clarity that BL (and of course her partner) never knew that they were gifting. Now we see behind the curtain, thru the glitz, around all those baked goods to see PR cut and pasted onto MSM to cosplay as news.
Kjersti Flaa (Celebrity "work" on their appearances, Selma Hyack's new event w/o BL) 09/15/2026
Congrats to Kjersti on that doc. Also, I love that Justin Baldoni/Wayfarer is the producer/studio on Gina Rodriguez's first time as a director in the film, House of Guerrero. Why are we noticing celebrities having "work done"? Our news cycle is essentially in hyper-drive. Procedures such as botox and laser facials (that smooths, evens color, and tightens the skin) such as ablative resurfacing, require huge chunks of downtime which is difficult for over-booked celebrities. Now why do they do it? It goes way back to the mid-1900's when big studios were essential dictatorships. All, even most of the biggest stars, were essentially the property of the studios whose contracts they signed. Studios could "request" changes such as, names, hair color, makeup, parental/environment origins and even change (via PR) the s3xual orientation of their actors. With that history, current fight for film profits, social media and society's fear of aging (which I admit to as I never leave my house w/o makeup) we see it all in real time. Everyone is worried about AI taking the place of actors. My speculation is that before that ever happens in any great numbers, instead we might see stealth insertions by AI tech. The objective of such tech would be to reconstitute the facial expressions of those famous, actual/living actors, who at least during filming, cannot do on their own.
Posted to True Crime w/Tony Brueski(RE: convo pm LC holdout include-Def. Diaries Pod) 09/15/2026
IMO the holdout juror did not understand the mission statement of a juror. There was no question about who did the act of un-aliving. The determination to be made by this jury was did the prosecution "prove beyond a reasonable doubt" that defendant know what she was doing was criminal thus she is not eligible for NGRI. The defense did not have to prove or disprove anything. Whatever the background is of that holdout juror, that is not the problem, only a reflection of it. The problems are with the court (for not properly instructing the jurors before the trial), the DA of Plymouth County (for overcharging the defendant), the Commonwealth (for the law which forces the prosecution to prove beyond a reasonable doubt concerning NGRI was applicable). Is this mistrial any justice for those lost 3 lives, no. Is a second trial forcing the families and a new jury to be further traumatized by the evidence any justice for those lost 3 lives, doubtful. I do not know what should happen now. All I know is that this tragedy, this crime, this trial has many who did not do their jobs, professionally, ethically or legally.
Ashley Briana Eve [TPUSA (Turning Point-USA) one year after Charlie Kirk's death] 09/15/2026
I think that someone miscalculated. Those currently in charge of TPUSA, including Erika Kirk, do not have the draw and popularity that Charlie Kirk had. While I was never interested in Charlie Kirk or knew very much about TPUSA, even I can see some difference in TPUSA's popularity before and after Charlie Kirk. Obviously TPUSA still exists, they still have power. As for growing their numbers in any significant way, that is murky. How that will affect "donations" from groups directly connected with foreign governments, again who knows. My speculation is that to see how this situation regarding TPUSA progresses, we will have to wait to see the results of the 2028 U.S. presidential election.
Lawyer You Know (Murder of atty Steven Cozzi-pro se defendant Dr. Tomasz Kosowski) 09/15/2026
Why would a reputedly intelligent doctor believe that an attorney who atypically misses one hearing would enable this defendant to win the civil case? The list continues with the easily discoverable online purchases, the strong smell of bleach in the building's bathroom, attorney's effects left seemingly abandoned, easily identifiable vehicles and the presence of cameras everywhere. My guess is that the defendant wants a NGRI verdict or be offered a plea deal for a life sentence w/o the possibility of parole. According AI (yes a problematic source) in the State of Florida, 20 years of appeals regarding a capital offense is the average. Guessing this process is expensive and time consuming for the state. The prosecution might accept a plea deal if Kosowski allocates to the redrum before sentencing. Sound familiar? It should. This was the path chosen by the convicted felon guilty of the redrum of 4 Idaho Univ. students. So why all of this? Perhaps this defendant like others believes that he is far more intelligent than all of his imagined enemies. Perhaps this defendant intends to use the legal system to punish (via civil law suits) these imagined enemies? Of course there is always Occam's Razor and this guy is just b*****t!
Posted to NotActuallyGolden (Podcast#35) Uploaded to You Tube on 09/16/2026
The phrase, "believe all women" IMO was an over-correction to redress previous injustices. It is a false premise which when taken w/o thought, can cause "new" problems. As onerous as it might be, as NAG has said, you have to show the work of listening, investigating and critical thinking. Somewhere my professor in logic theory is laughing as I never quite got those concepts in their class (B- grade 😉). The easiest to blame for the mistrial is the holdout juror. Whatever this juror's actual background turns out to be, even if that juror totally misunderstood the concept of reasonable doubt, this is still one person. One person is a diversion from those who made far more egregious mistakes. While not a complete list, lets divide fault among such entities as LE (go back to the academy for "securing the scene 101"), DA of Plymouth County (who over-charged in the indictment), the ADAs (thanks for ruining bows) and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (who put the burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt onto the prosecution regarding disproving NGRI). These are the ones primarily responsible for failing to get justice for those 3 children along with proper confinement of LC. I deeply hope that if this re-trial has to happen that the indictment is lowered to allow for a bench trial.
Posted to Kjersti Flaa (RE: Tom Cruise's GQ interview - do we still believe the image?) 09/16/2026
I know who Tom Cruise is when he is not making a movie, acting in a movie or in post-production on a movie. Tom Cruise is a dedicated member of a cult that cosplays as a religion with permission of the U.S. Government which gives Scientology a tax exemption. His word salad answers to the interviewer are an excellent example of the way the members speak when confronted by those not in the cult. As for buying "the image", we should not buy any celebrity's image. Thanks to BL and RR, we have seen PR/legacy media in action. IMO there are very few celebrities out there who are actually the person imaged on red carpets and during interviews. The Justin Baldoni-types are the rare ones. On the other hand, there have been celebrities that have fooled us all for years, whether we are a fan or a journalist. For many of us now, eyes wide open! 🤣
Posted to antphrodite (RE: Macklemore left Ed Sheeran Tour) Uploaded to YT on 09/16/2026
I know the tour is under the name Ed Sheeran, so there is some responsibility there. However beyond the politics and celebrities involved we missed the real problems: (1) that algorithm (which as ant said likely grabbed Pink) & (2) Robert Kraft owner of the New England Patriots (American football) and Gillette Stadium in Foxborough Massachusetts (home base for Patriots). It was Robert Kraft who made a statement indicating that the venue would not allow Macklemore to perform at Gillette Stadium. I am not defending Ed Sheeran or Pink, they have cash, they will be fine. However the supporting acts are not as lucky financially. Hopefully, they have a decent contract. Ant is on point, that algorithm is dividing and polarizing us (looking at you Elon and Mark😕). I do not know Macklemore's views on anything. I only know his music. Should anyone should want to vent or complain do it in the direction of the owners of these venues. They are the ones who are making decisions for themselves not for us.

This might be a risky move on Patrick Clancy's part, but I agree that this 2nd interview (60 Minutes) after the New Yorker interview is an excellent way to apply very public pressure regarding another trial. The DA of Plymouth County's past record indicates that he would likely go with a retrial at the same level of indictment as his viewpoints are allegedly as fixed as concrete. Only with this DA we now see the cracks in between the bows. Why 60 Minutes? I speculate that whatever party the DA of Plymouth County emanates from, his viewpoints are quite conservative. Also as NAG pointed out, there is the very real NFL hype effect on the audience for 60 Minutes. BTW when Frank has an opinion, he clearly is not shy about voicing said opinion😜. He is a good boy.

That first interview was impressive. However AI has to work more on the syntax of their Tom Cruise avatar😜. Also reformat that hair. Version 1.0 gives an odd vibe🤣. The cult's medal video of TC was just plain scary. Irregardless of cult membership, in general actors slap on those prosthetics while wearing altering makeup to enter that Oscar race. While filming the 1976 movie Marathon Man, Sir Laurence Olivier was said to have told a fellow actor who was trying to alter their body for the movie, "Dear boy, you look absolutely awful. Why don't you try acting? It's so much easier."
Posted to Lawyer Lee (RE: Mistrial, new filings by Defense additional attorney hired) 09/16/2026
Kevin Reddington is VERY intelligent along with being an excellent legal strategist. IMO all of this even bringing in Attorney Martin Weinberg is to bring pressure onto the DA of Plymouth County to be more amenable to either a plea deal or lowering the indictment so that there can be a bench trial. Looking at the past decisions by the DA of Plymouth County seem to illustrate someone whose opinions are set into proverbial concrete. This DA also has a propensity for the 1st degree redrum indictment. The holdout juror is an illustration of so many mistakes by others: (1) LE not doing a proper investigation (securing the scene, the tech etc.) to hand over to the DA, (2) Overcharged by DA of Plymouth County which means this had to be a jury not a bench trial, (3) the court in Plymouth County which seemingly did not educate all jurors/alternates before the trial in the concept of reasonable doubt, and (4)The Commonwealth of Massachusetts law that puts the burden of proof regarding the defendant NOT being eligible for NGRI verdict ONTO the prosecution which has to prove their case "beyond a reasonable doubt". In most states the NGRI proof is the job of the defense. This trial did not get justice for those 3 lost lives, it only tormented the living. A retrial with the same indictment will likely produce the same result. What should happen? I will leave that to better minds than mine.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching the doc, "Social Media Killed The Movie Star". Interesting as Kjersti is listed as Exec. Producer while Magnus is listed as Producer. Hmmm, we all know that Oscar had his paw in this production even without a formal credit. What I found hilarious was all the pre-social media (aka older) celebrities joining social media months after they had either professed fear or ignorance of social media. Morgan Freeman's reaction to the fact that he had a social media account was hilarious. Concerning the Sidney Sweeney gambling ad, I do agree that there are people who are just not getting the reason for concern. Women are objecting to the fact that a person's body is being used in an explicit way to encourage gambling. The visual imagery of this ad make the target demo obvious. I do not see the positives in the activity the ad promotes, so I can't really think of another way to promote this app. At least Sydney was smart enough to invest in the app. If it works she makes money, if it tanks she has a nice deduction for an investment loss for her 2027 tax return.🤣

I speculate that the lawsuit against Katie Case (especially that 10M figure inclusion) by SJ/Jonesworks is likely strategic to assist Jonesworks elsewhere legally. In the meantime is Judge Lewis Liman somewhere, some place questioning his fate and the tech? According to AI the determination of who is assigned what case in the U.S. federal court system (including SDNY) is randomized via computer.🤣

There is even a page on gambling as a disorder in the DSM-5-TR.

The Ed Sheeran/Macklemore issue had me blaming the billionaire venue owners like Robert Kraft. I see Ashley's point. This control by others on what we see and hear, is not new with Robert Kraft deciding what any fans can see in "his stadium". It is chilling to think how many are already being manipulated. What would be more informative, without silencing free speech, would be (as Ashley indicated) complete openness regarding both sides. Put a light in that darkness. Let us see what is happening. The public, the world can then make informed choices from concerts to elections to charities. As for that IPO delay, yes I was not fooled either.

Not sure if this is tin foil hat territory or not. The spite, venom, and animus from these people is wild, of course all alleged. Still allegedly (as some of these people will sue an empty designer tote bag), SJ reportedly never ever forgets or forgives regarding those who once were in her employ (Jennifer Abel and others) or were part of her client list (Justin Baldoni and others). In order to reclaim her reputation, power or whatever, she has to prove all these people are the worst.

If Clancy and new wife expected this interview to force the evolution of the fragmented fringe into becoming a more stable well-woven group of critical thinkers, then I agree with NAG that an interview was problematic. Admittedly I have not watched this interview, but I wonder why was the new wife on? Like NAG says, perhaps the mindset was that, "look we are nice, normal people with a family, so be nice to us". My speculation was that this interview might have been a PR tactic to make the DA of Plymouth County more amenable to adjusting the indictment in order to allow a bench trial? Or even better, for the DA to accept a plea deal to avoid a re-trial. I fear that a retrial will again be no justice for those lost, only torment for those still here while producing a deeper rift among the rest of us.

For me, Depp vs. Heard was the beginning of my doubts about what I see and read, with the confirmation being the IEWU-verse of chicanery. I now see PR as spray painters who hide imperfections of their clients behind glittery gold paint so that legacy media can promote these people into a positions of popularity and power.

What Macklemore said, only going by his words at that moment, was not hate speech. At its worst, it was political speech at an entertainment venue. This would be something more appropriate for fan complaints. Whatever political opinions that performers profess, having billionaires decide what we should see and hear is a plutocracy. Last time I looked, admittedly it was around 2015, the U.S. was governed by its Constitution. The first amendment of the U.S. Constitution is relevant. It even entitles billionaires to free speech. Mr. Kraft had ample opportunity to get his opinions published online and in legacy media. Instead he chose to forget the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution by making a decision affecting the 65,000 people who had tickets for the September 25 & 26 concert in Foxborough.
Posted to Elsrich (RE: Letter from a former subscriber, Patrick Clancy interviews) 09/19/20206
Well said Elsrich! When someone (non-clergy) says, "I am praying for you", I hear pretentious, arrogant and smug. What I do not hear is compassion, ethics or critical thinking. I am not religious, but I do like to research things. These passages resonated with me. John 8:7 and Luke 6:37. No justice came from the mistrial. There was only more torment for the living. If nothing changes for the retrial, I speculate that will be a futile rinse/repeat exercise producing only pain not justice. Perhaps these Patrick Clancy interviews are to put pressure (via media) on the DA to lower charges to enable a bench trial or to avoid re-trial with a plea deal. Why Rachel was present during the interview, I have not a clue. My "gut" tells me this was a major error. I suspect when Patrick Clancy met and married Lindsay, he chose a strong, determined, athletic, intelligent, "I can do it all" woman. With each postpartum period, Lindsay likely changed. Like most of us, Patrick Clancy is not a hero. Patrick Clancy was out of his depth. Lindsay's deterioration scared and alienated him. It happens. Not all partners can exceed expectations in a crisis. I cannot blame him for fleeing to a new place, a new home, a new life and even a new partner. Maybe justice for those 3 lost children looks like this: prevention. Prevent this from happening to other innocents with the assistance of informed physicians who pass on that information to their patients along with mental health professionals who need to be more diligent and mindful in their prescription of psych (or any) meds. Whatever happens next, is in the control of the DA of Plymouth County. Maybe tell that former subscriber to pray for him.😉
