"It's no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then."

—Lewis Caroll

[tomorrowusa]

Sam Bankman-Fried, the indicted crypto con-man, just had his bail revoked by Federal Judge Lewis A. Kaplan for discussing his case in the media. He will now await his trial in the slammer. Donald Trump should learn from this – but probably won't.

A prominent billionaire is arrested on criminal charges. At his arraignment, the presiding judge releases him pending trial on condition he not try to influence potential witnesses and orders him not to speak with the media about the pending trial. He repeatedly violates the order. Eventually, the judge has had enough. He revokes bail and orders him jailed pending trial. I’m not referring to Donald J. Trump — although on Thursday, Judge Tanya Chutkan designated witness interviews and recordings as covered by a protective order and warned Trump once again against trying to influence or intimidate potential witnesses. Trump had spent much of the past week blasting former Vice President Mike Pence — likely to be a key witness — and others. No, the person I’m referring to is Sam Bankman-Fried, founder of the collapsed cryptocurrency exchange FTX. Bankman-Fried — whose wealth had soared to $28 billion before the collapse — had been under house arrest at his parents’ home in Palo Alto, California, since his arrest in December on fraud charges stemming from FTX’s implosion. At a hearing yesterday, Judge Lewis A. Kaplan of Federal District Court in Manhattan revoked Bankman-Fried’s bail and ordered him to await his October trial in jail. Prosecutors showed that Bankman-Fried had twice tried to interfere with witnesses, including by giving documents to reporters and engaging in numerous conversations with others in the media despite the judge’s order not to do so. “He has gone up to the line over and over again, and I am going to revoke bail,” Judge Kaplan said from the bench. Bankman-Fried was taken to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. There is a lesson here for Donald J. Trump, as there is for other ultra-wealthy people who for too long have assumed that the law doesn’t really apply to them because they can buy their way out of whatever fix they’re in. Federal prosecutors and the federal courts are not buying it.

Judge Kaplan's words about Bankman-Fried ("He has gone up to the line over and over again") could easily apply to Donald Trump's behavior. Given that Trump is a pathological blabbermouth, I'd say the chances of pre-trial detention for him are over 50%.

Trump should not be allowed to use his upcoming trials as campaign stops for 2024.

Few things would do more to restore public confidence in the justice system than for people to see wealthy celebrities not getting preferential treatment in court. So Judge Kaplan and Federal Judge Tanya Chutkan seem determined not to let billionaire defendants hijack trials.

Judge Repeatedly Reminds Lawyers Trump Will Be Treated Like Any Criminal Defendant

”Oh, you like Taocc? Name every character.”

BET.

edit: I added the vague number of total characters listed. We’re at about 270, and I’m still adding characters.

(*By technicality

**formerly/no longer active/no longer acknowledged by the narrative as existing

***exist as of like ten seconds ago

I will only be including characters recognized as part of Taocc by more than one person. Characters will be vaguely grouped together however the frick I feel like and with only the vague suggestion of transitions. A character must have a tangible role that still has effects at the time of posting to be counted. I’m not counting all the deactivated characters from OG Taocc, for example. I am referencing the updates blog list as well as my following for this, because the challenge is to name them all, not to name them all by memory. Animals barely count sometimes when I feel like it.)

Rewatched the live action MK film and omfg....its more awful than I remember

So...in the MK movie, they black-washed Mileena, and mainly put her in the movie so there would be a female in the group of bad guys (plus Nitara)...

BUT! There are so many other black female characters in the series, and after watching the MK1 trailer (and reminding myself a bit more about her character), they could have easily done Tanya for this role.

Therefore, they could’ve just used that actress and have Tanya in the film. She could’ve been with teh good guys and then stab them in the back later on. This would’ve helped Tanya build up her fanbase more and prolly gain new fans. Hell, they did that with Nitara and she’s rumored to be coming back for MK1 (and she was a delight in the movie, mainly for the fatality performed on her). 

The answer is because Tanay wouldn’t sell tickets, but Mileena would...but that race-bending was so stupid and unneccessary. Like, the charactesr are already diverse, there should have been no race-swapping.

There’s also that BS with not having Liu Kang as the main character. Cole Young was an awful main character and I know most of the actors weren’t high level actors, but the actor wasn’t leading man material (this is made worse when you realize literally EVERY OTHER mail character in the movie is. Hell, Sonya was a better MC and they butchered her character). No hate to Lewis Tan, but bro was definitely the weakest actor in this film.

They could have also used Johnny Cage but apparently he didn’t fit the mood of the film? Even tho Kano had the same level of dialogue and comedy relief as Johnny would have???? And then they cast an older actor for Johnny Cage when the Miz was right there? (tho I guess with the Miz, he might’ve been too out of budget, which is sad because I think this would’ve been a great opportunity for him to prove if he had acting chops or not since his other movies were just bad and cheap. And no hate to the actual actor they chose, he’s amazing, it just feels like they chose the wrong actor for the role).

Literally the only good things in this movie are Bi-Han, Hanzo, Liu Kang, Kung Lao, Kano, and Jax. Honoroably mentions to Kabal, Nitara, and the first 7 minutes of the movie.
