it's still unhinged that they didn't really plan out ford's actual character until his debut and he's built backwards from the question of "who would make stan the absolutely bitter hurting person he is while also being someone stan would do anything to save"

According to Dickey, his manifesto isn’t a separate piece of paper at all, it’s a part of his notebook. The guy who leaked the manifesto claims it was in an envelope separate from the rest of his notes. Either way, three pages can be explained away.

The issue is that his notebook supposedly contains details of how he went about planning it. This is where the dating comes in, because if he��s writing back planning for months it shows premeditation which screws him over under both stalking and terrorism charges. They might not be able to validate 100% of it, but they don’t need to. They just need to prove the important parts. For example if he detailed plans of how he went about printing the gun - if they find a delivery for the silencer he ordered on the same date, if they find traces of him downloading the design on any of his systems on the same date, if they find some record of him using a 3D printer on the same date. It is incredibly risky for them to do this instead of just faking only the manifesto.

Again, I’m praying for him to walk free (as blunt as I might sound) so I hope that the Feds have already leaked the worst of the notebook. But if there’s more, and if it’s traceable in any manner, he truly is toast. The longer the premeditation, the longer the sentence they’ll gun for.

Even if they do manage to get a neutral jury, we need to keep in mind that between BT’s murder video, his autopsy, pictures of his dead body, his children’s impact statements, the jury might feel that LM deserves some level of punishment and unfortunately that “some level” is a minimum of several decades by law. A notebook with homicidal, ruthless rambling during what was certainly a dark period in his life is really going to fuck his case over.

wait where did the envelope come from?? i've never heard about that until now :O

i understand what you're saying and i am genuinely not arguing with you, what i find so surprising about this is why would the authorities not release all of it or any of it?? why would the alleged notebook and the alleged feds letter be released on a substack by an independent journalist who very rightly claims that mainstream media did not publish the whole thing despite knowing its contents and happily quoting parts of it?? what exactly are they afraid of?? also is there actually any more to it?? or are they trying show the public that they're doing a great job?? and that their charges are not flimsy anyhow?? and if they do in fact have more to release in front of the jury, why go and release the alleged feds letter on documentaries in an attempt to deliberately taint the jury?? i have so so many questions about their behaviour and i feel like they'd probably go completely unanswered anyways.

also nah you don't sound blunt about wanting him to walk free. most of the people following the case feel that way. and i at least feel no remorse or shame about that and i cannot think of any time when i'd regret feeling that way.

also wait, the ceo's kids can speak in court??? that's something i didn't consider either :O what are they going to say anyways?? we lived with our mom and we're adults/almost adults and dad was a heartless murderer of thousands through his perfectly white collar job and ohh he also frequented strip clubs and yeah mom and dad were still married at the time of his death and we think he's a hero?? anybody with a thinking brain would understand that guy (and his pals too tbh) was a devil walking on earth.

i genuinely hope evidence gets thrown out and the jury thinks very selfishly about what would help themselves and use their hearts while judging Luigi and let him walk. if i were a juror, i'd be sitting in the courtroom with my ears shut, i couldn't care less what the prosecution wants people to believe now or during the trials.

Honestly screw fanon romantic and platonic relationships. Tell what character pairings (with little to no interactions in canon) which fandom insists would be great friends but you know it in your heart would kill each other without hesitation

"Some modern historians, apparently fascinated by the fact that Matilda was eleven years older than her second husband, Geoffrey of Anjou, have been quick to assert that the marriage was unhappy. The historical basis for this assertion rests upon the word of the Durham chronicler, who stated that when Matilda returned to Henry I’s court in 1129 it was because Geoffrey had repudiated her. [Historians have thus assumed that their mutual incompatibility led to hostility and an eventual separation]. However, it must be noted that the northern chronicler was hardly in a position to have first-hand information about events across the Channel, and that he had the chronology of the affair completely wrong. The author placed Matilda’s marriage in 1129, and wrote that only a few days after King Henry returned to England on 13 July of that year, he was told that his daughter had been repudiated by her husband and had returned to Rouen with only a few attendants. The marriage actually took place in 1128, and Matilda was in Anjou with her husband in 1129 when the la Haye brothers brought a charter in favor of the abbey of Fontevraud to her for her confirmation. The other contemporary accounts of Matilda’s separation from her husband did not record her departure or suggest reasons for it, but only noted her return to Anjou in 1131.

It is possible that Matilda’s return to her father’s court in 1129 was not a marital separation at all, but rather a political mission. Perhaps Matilda and Geoffrey grew uneasy in their isolation and began to doubt the commitment of the Anglo-Norman barons to their cause. Leaving her husband behind to manage affairs in Anjou, Matilda may have travelled to Normandy seeking clarification of her position. A few scraps of evidence point in this direction. A letter that Hildebert of Lavardin wrote to Henry I in 1131 expressed pleasure that the king was now reconciled with the count of Anjou, who ‘had now fallen in with his wishes in everything concerning him and his daughter’. Henry of Huntingdon and Robert of Torigny stated that a ‘great council’ held at Northampton on 8 September 1131 decided that Matilda should be returned to her husband. The wording implies a decision made by the great men of the realm for political reasons, not a family’s success in persuading a tearful daughter to return to a husband whom she disliked. Furthermore, William of Malmesbury wrote that ‘no small gathering of the nobility being held at Northampton, the oath of fidelity to her was renewed by those who had already sworn and also taken by those who had not done so previously’. The renewal of the oath also suggests that Matilda’s mission may have been occasioned by concern over the succession rather than by the marital discord that historians have often taken for granted."

I know! I'm so proud of our son! I love that we're going to see much more of him next season! I also met Deric on the weekend and he's a complete and utter sweetpea 😭

My mother -- and by extension, my brothers and I -- qualify for German citizenship under one of their re-patriation laws because my bio grandmother was German -- as in, actually born and raised in Germany and emigrated to the U.S. as an adult, not in the vague way Americans will say "I'm German" or Irish or Italian when they have never been to the country. However, we would have to hire a German lawyer to go through the process, which my mom actually started, but it is soooo expensive. And even with the anti-trans legislation and possibility of losing the medication that allows me to work, I don't have the money to leave this country even if I wanted to.

Also, being deaf and learning a language that I find very difficult to hear scares me since I know from past experience I can't lip read French at all despite (at one point) being able to speak a little conversational French and I have a hard time understanding German compared to, say, Spanish or Japanese, which are both easier to hear with my disability. Then again, if you have citizenship in an EU country, then you can travel easily to other countries in the EU and work there more easily.

just thought about that sherlock relapsed without his support system after being "dead". he's not wearing his sobriety pin anymore. he hasn't told watson about it. watson says he seems happy and he says that working as a detective abroad but not as himself was the best time of his life. I'm not sure if that's actually true????

It’s really funny being so deeply involved in the Naruto fandom while also not knowing anything about the plot of Shippuden other than what I’ve seen already.

As far as I know Itachi just straight up murdered his entire family right in front of Sasuke like. For fun. And then was like ‘tf you gonna do about it, punk bitch?’ And then spat on him and kicked him and flipped him off and then kicked his ass AGAIN like five years later

but everybody’s like HE WAS THE BEST GUY AROUND!!!! Omg isn’t it sad that Itachi never got to meet Sasuke’s daughter????? isn’t it sad that they weren’t a family ???? :((

like. Yeah man we’re all lookin for the guy who did this
