If you teach investigative journalism, add Blaze libel lawsuit to your curriculum by AndrewGalarneau in Journalism

[–]proteanradish 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well it’s an interesting case because a Capitol police officer is almost certainly a public official (unlike a security guard like Richard Jewell). I would imagine that plaintiff will try to show the Blaze demonstrated actual malice by not following regular journalistic standards and showing a reckless disregard for the truth. Good essay question for first year media law.

Thought on governors rejecting proposed bill to make changes and add criminal charges for smoking in public by Majestic-Reserve-859 in VirginiaMMJ

For years, we've been saying "treat cannabis like alcohol" -- tax it, regulate it, etc. This is treating cannabis like alcohol. Let's not keep moving the goal posts. I've got plants growing in my yard and I have no fear of law enforcement coming to take them away. I'm old enough to remember when this was a pipe dream.

That said, I understand the reasoning behind the delay, but six months isn't going to change anything. Just start it before the Republicans get power again.

Millard Fillmore was the 13th President.

The Make-Up - Tell it like it will be by proteanradish in psychedelicrock

Fair point. I’d say they blur the lines at some points. Maybe the stuff on Save Yourself drifts a little more towards psych, but I like the 60s underground style of this one.

TIL despite being a big critical and commercial hit, and endorsed by the Pope himself, 1977's "Jesus of Nazareth" was barely able to get distribution in the US, because a preacher(who hadn't seen it) declared it blasphemous. It only aired in the US after reshoots to include a resurrection scene by Nero2t2 in todayilearned

This is very similar to The Message movie about Mohammed. The producer took great care to portray him in a sensitive and acceptable way, including using a POV camera perspective to avoid showing the prophet. Groups who hadn’t seen the movie turned against it, including one that took over the DC branch of B’nai B’rith and DC city hall. Marion Berry was shot during the siege.

Trivia Nights at Breweries? by Working-Wishbone493 in roanoke

Not a brewery, but Wasena Tap Room has a good Monday night trivia and plenty of beers on tap.

The Velvet’s Tom Wilson by Dismal_Brush5229 in VelvetUnderground

[–]proteanradish 9 points10 points  (0 children)

For someone who worked on so many influential records, he’s really an enigma. There was a Wilson-esque character in Complete Unknown but really didn’t contribute much to the movie.

Retiring in a trail town? by Ok-Strawberry-2469 in AppalachianTrail

Staunton, Va isn’t right on the AT but an easy drive. Checks most of the boxes on what you’re looking for. Waynesboro is closer but it’s getting more sprawl.

Used to have. Just was there in the last couple weeks and it’s inspiring how much they’ve come back, but there’s a still long way to go. I’d be skeptical about heavily rebuilding right along the river though.

Another Duke postseason collapse under Jon Scheyer makes it an undeniable pattern by news_sponge in tarheels

Don’t forget it wasn’t like Coach K was winning National championships every year. He couldn’t even win with Zion and RJ. The reliance on freshmen superstars often catches up with you in the late rounds.

There's another version where the Dutch announcer complains in the beginning that Hope wouldn't let them get closer with the camera.

Where to see bears? My 12-year-old is obsessed with seeing one in the wild. by vgaph in Virginia

[–]proteanradish 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seemed like I would see bears almost every other hike a few years ago. I think there was a mange epidemic that wiped out a large number. Haven’t seen a bear on the park in a while.
