  8. So, I just finished reading DEMON COPPERHEAD by Barbara Kingsolver. It was utterly unputdownable, I got mad at my family for speaking to me while I was reading it, and when I read the final sentence and closed the book all I could say was "DAMN."

    Highly recommend, y'all. HIGHEST OF HIGHLY.

  18. The group of survivors – 75 people out of >82k who filed claims against the #BoyScouts – argued that #SCOTUS should have reopened the settlement in light of its decision last year in a similar legal dispute in involving #PurduePharma, the maker of the #opioid pain mediciation #OxyContin. In that case, a 5-4 majority rejected a bankruptcy agreement that would have shielded the #Sackler family from future lawsuits even though it made its fortune running the company.

    To explain his vote to suspend the ruling, Justice #Gorsuch said (quote) "there may be a better deal on the horizon."

    "Better deal" for *who*? Is that "horizon" a T**** reelection? 🤔
