Alright, it has been over 24 hours, the guy who killed Mr Claim Denied is not going to be caught.

But this will probably not be an isolated incident, because the US governing bodies aren't going to feel motivated to fix the actual problem over one assassination.

With that in mind, this is a great time to familiarize yourself with the US legal concept of "jury nullification," aka "if it shouldn't be illegal, you shouldn't be punished."

The US has a proud and beautiful history of using this as the final say of the people against misapplication and abuse being called "law." Even before the country was founded, in the colonies, this was used to spare the lives of people being put to death for flagrantly spurious reasons.

When, not if but when, this happens again and the next or third or 17th assassin gets caught?

Their verdict is non-guilty.

Caught on tape? Not guilty. Witnesses too? Not guilty. Killing failed and there's a victim ID? Not. Fucking. Guilty.

Every person who kills a healthcare executive is acting in self-defense against people who want them dead first. Anything else is irrelevant.

The jury always gets to decide on Not Guilty, even when presented with perfect evidence of "guilt."

Nullify, nullify, nullify.

There was a huge battle going on, and they were all currently recouping in the WatchTower. They'd managed to win, for now, but they all knew it wouldn't last. So. Every single available Justice League member was summoned for the recoup to figure out a new battle plan.

It was during this that Superman spoke up.

"If we need more heavy hitters, I can call up my twin brother. See if he's free."

And well. That wasn't what any of the gathered had excepted Superman - famously the last Kryptonian - to say. Many would even like to say it was the least excepted thing to hear.

"Your.. twin brother?"

"Do you mean Conner? Superboy??"

"You have a TWIN??"

The questions continued to rain down, until Batman held up a hand to silence everyone.

"Explain."

Superman stared at Batman for a second, at the gathered for half a second longer, before finally starting to explain this new piece of information he'd unintentionally given. (In his defence, it was one he thought most already knew).

"Well, Jack's not my twin by blood, but we grew up together. If we want a heavy hitter, he's someone we want on our side. We used to crash through walls for fun."

The last comment he added as an afterthought, as reference to what kind of heavy hitter he meant, something for the more normal to understand.

Everyone looked to Batman then, who simply nodded.

"If he's available, bring him here. I trust your judgement on this man."

"Thank you."

Superman smiled and stepped away, already dialling this twin brother judging by his fiddling with his phone.

When Superman had said he had a twin brother that he used to crash through walls with, for fun, most thought 'Okay, we got a sort of clear picture of what to except now.'

Those who thought that was wrong. Jack Fenton was as big as Superman himself, built like a tank and loud as one as well. His excitement spread like an invisible force through everyone still gathered, his blue eyes shining. The only sort of 'suit' the man had was an orange hazmat suit and black goggles, gloves covering his huge hands.

"Supes! It's good to see you again!"

The man picked up Superman like he weighed nothing, squeezing the hero in a hug, which Superman returned without a second thought.

"Jack! Thank you for coming!"

"Oh you know I could never pass up a little fight with my brother! Are there ghosts too??"

"We don't know yet, but we'd appreciate your expertise on it!"

"The expert is my Danno-boy!"

This man, Jack, preened proudly, finally setting Superman back down on the ground though the two men continued to chat happily. At least until Batman cut in again.

"Superman, Jack Fenton. Focus."

"Right!"

Batman waited until everyone focused, and so continued on with the plan, now with added questions of how Jack could be of assistance.

(When the world later got to witness a man in bright orange hazmat suit and black goggles fighting alongside the Superman and Justice League? It's mild to save the media went wild, and even more so those from a strange small town Amity Park in the middle of Illinois...)

LGBT Person: "I lost friends when I came out as LGBT."

Trump Supporter: "And? You can't force people to be your friend. If you're living a lifestyle that goes against their beliefs, they have every right to stop being your friend. You have your freedom, and they have theirs. So stop complaining."

Trump Supporters: "I can't believe people don't want to be my friend anymore when they find out I'm a Trump supporter. People are so hateful. How did this happen?"

I’ve started playing dnd again and the campaign I’m in has the pitch that we all must be characters from written works. The plot is we got thrown out of our own stories and must find our way back.

I am Hamlet, a warlock who made a pact with his Dad’s ghost (it’s absolutely his Dad’s ghost, he wasn’t tricked at all, ignore the fiend patron type) to get revenge on his Uncle. But this post isn’t about him.

Because our cleric, the one entrusted with keeping the party full of heals, the only person with healing magic, is House MD.

“Wait Iz!” You cry. “House MD is a television show, not written fiction.” You’d be correct. Which is why our cleric House is not from the television show.

He’s from a fan fiction.

It’s as funny as it sounds.

I hope none of you disappear in the coming days. Seriously don't do anything that can't be undone.

they said this is the cheapest marvel series ever produced. see, this is what happens when you focus on storytelling instead of unnecessary stuff no one cares about. i loved this episode so much. please, give me more low-budget marvel shows that care about the plot, the characters, and their target audience. i don't need another rdj blockbuster marvel movie. you can have that. give me meaningful stories with a low budget, made by people who truly believe in what they're creating.

Hey, unpopular opinion, apparently. But people don’t just “have pain for no reason” doctors say this all the time (especially to women and chronically ill people) and the truth is, Thats literally not possible. Even if your pains are psychosomatic (a word I hesitate to even use because of the way its used so often) there is a reason you are having those pains whether its mental illness, abuse, etc. If your doctor consistently tells you that “well some people just have pain for no reason” get a new doctor. That’s a doctor who is not going to give a shit what your actual symptoms or experiences are.
