What Everyone Got Wrong About Eric Adams, The Growing DNR Problem, & More News

flexing for the thumbnail. Oh, hi. Natural face.

Sup, you beautiful bastards. Welcome back to the Philip DeFranco show. You daily dive into the news.

And we have a lot to talk about today. big small weird wild. A little bit of everything.

So you just buckle up, hit that like button and let's jump into This is a new issue. New York Mayor Eric Adams was just slapped with five federal corruption related charges. Right.

The man running America's largest city has just been indicted. and the details about these charges were laid out in the 57 page indictment that was just revealed as we were recording today's show. it includes things like bribery, wire fraud, conspiracy and soliciting campaign funds from foreign nationals.

and on top of all that, his official residence got searched by investigators and his phone was once again taken. right. And these charges, they come after a months long investigation into Adams, and they probably don't come as a complete surprise.

especially because earlier this month, federal investigators executed search warrants and seized the phones of his top staff. then even before then, there were hints that they were closing in on Adams, or they were executing search warrants and everyone close to him, and they even seized his phone this month. mean, there were signs as far back as November of 2023, like when the home of his chief campaign fundraiser was raided, that, then followed by a raid on one of the companies is alleged to have illegally received money from, and according to the feds, Adams been doing sketchy stuff for a while now, with the indictment stating nearly a decade, Adams sought and accepted improper, valuable benefits such as luxury international travel, including from wealthy foreign businesspeople and at least one Turkish government official seeking to gain influence over him.

with Adams allegedly accepting the foreign money through so-called strong contributions. Meaning that a Turkish official would send money to someone in the U. S who would then pass it off as their own donation to Adams.

in return, they seemingly got preferential treatment, such as when a new Turkish consulate was facing safety issues that prevented the fire marshal from approving the building. with Adams and allegedly threatening the inspectors job of the building wasn't approved. they also say that it wasn't just foreign influence either Adams also allegedly accepting corporate donations, which the indictment says is illegal.

and there, it said that they use pretty much the same playbook. They give money to employees and then pretend it was their own contribution to Adams. then there's also the gift of the feds claim Adams received.

and according to the indictment, Adams tried to hide their value to make it seem like he paid for them. in total, their value is over $100,000. And obviously, there's a lot more in the 57 pages.

I'm not gonna be able to get to everything, though. I'll. I'll link to the document in the description.

as you can probably imagine, this has elicited many, many different reactions. mean, even since yesterday, it was clear that charges were going to be brought. And Adams has been defiant, saying yesterday.

I always knew that if I stood my ground, all of you, that I would be a target and a target. I became if I'm charged. I know I'm innocent.

I will fight these injustices with every ounce of my strength and my spirit when asked if he would resign, he answered, stepping up. Not stepping down. today was not much different with his attorney bashing how things went down this morning and saying, federal agents appeared this morning at Gracie Mansion in an effort to create a spectacle again and take Mayor Adams as phone again.

has not been arrested and looks forward to his day in court. send a dozen agents to pick up a phone when we would have happily turned it in. also with us will say I've seen some confusion regarding the lack of an arrest, remember with that, I'll say that's not uncommon in these cases.

example, Senator Bob Menendez is allowed to be free while he awaits sentencing for almost identical charges. we might see something similar for Adams. in the meantime, we have already seen a lot of fallout.

Tons of high ranking city officials have already resigned, such as the police commissioner, the city's top lawyer in the schools. Chancellor? All of which led to calls for Adams to resign, such as from New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who wrote on Twitter.

do not see how Mayor Adams can continue governing New York City. flood of resignations and vacancies are threatening government function nonstop investigations will make it impossible to recruit and retain a qualified administration the good of the city. He should resign.

with many saying that are calls for a resignation. That's actually pretty notable because while she broadly opposes Adams for being too centrist, she actually rarely talks about New York City politics. But for now, the big question is, you know, what's going to happen with him?

Is he going to actually continue to refuse a resignation, or is Governor Kathy Hochul going to force him out of office? which notably is something she actually has the power to do, though as of recording, she hasn't commented one way or the other. you know, it'll be very interesting to see what happens, because, yes, you know, innocent until proven guilty.

and Adams is very adamant that these are all B. S. charges.

But there is a reason that the feds almost literally never lose a case. almost never bring charges without just a fucking mountain of evidence. yeah, we will see.

But for Adams, it does not look good. then shifting gears is an online drama business news. Doctor disrespect wants his YouTube monetization back.

because as you might remember, he lost it back in June amid reports that he inappropriately messaged a minor over on Twitch. something that he essentially admitted to in a now deleted tweet, though he still claims there was nothing illegal happening. him, then taking a break from streaming.

But he made his return a few weeks ago, and now that he's been back and consistently getting hundreds of thousands of people tuning into those streams, he tweeted a screenshot showing that he re-applied for YouTube monetization. that showing that a decision would likely come in around a month. all of this happening as analytics group streams charts found that as of mid-September, is the second most watch YouTube gaming streamer in the US this year.

he's only behind. I show speed this is now some reports are saying he's even eyeing a potential return to the Midnight Society studio that he co-founded. while right now it's unclear if anything's going to come from that, between that and his application for monetization, it seems like he's really launched a full fledged comeback.

for now, we'll have to wait to see what happens next. In the meantime, I'd love to know your thoughts. I also want another quick piece of news on the note, backlash.

Let's talk about Margot Robbie, Jacob Elordi and Emerald Fennell. because they are the center of some good old fashioned casting backlash right now. with earlier this week, it being announced that Margot and Jacob were cast as the leads in Emerald's adaptation of Wuthering Heights, which is a book that you may have read or read the SparkNotes of in high school.

and with that, you had a lot of people pissed off because Jacob is playing the character Heathcliff, who the book refers to as dark skinned, and as various other indicators that the character is not white. so with that, you have people saying things like his experiences as a man of color influence his entire character and story as a man suffering racist abuse from his adoptive family. Fuck off.

Emerald Fennell. well as did anyone actually read the book before deciding this? and while some have noted that this is far from the first time Wuthering Heights has been adapted into a film, and many white actors like Tom Hardy have played the role of Heath.

Cliff. many say they just believe the times are different now, and there is a newfound cultural responsibility in casting these parts. in other is saying this just shows that Hollywood is hypocritical because studios always pledged to have diverse cast, but we still end up with situations like this.

though this also is some have given grace. Noting Emerald Fennell is a director who always has a big take. Her swings are pretty big and we don't know what her version of this story is going to be or how she's going to change and so actually with that, you, the BBC noting that we don't know what is up her sleeve, but still quote, there is no doubt that at first glance the casting seems fundamentally, egregiously wrong.

has that mind boggling. What were they thinking? Quality.

Which brings to mind a crass producer in a Hollywood satire barking Wuthering Heights is drab. Let's get Barbie and Elvis to play Cathy and Heath. Cliff.

and. Well, of course I'd love to know everyone's thoughts and everything we cover. For this one, I'd really love to know what my literature or film lovers out there are thinking about this.

yo, this is so weird. We need to talk about how we can. Tucky.

Sheriff is accused of murdering a district judge in his chambers. And no one knows why. Right.

I mean, this whole situation has been this total mystery, confounding and rattling this small Appalachian town of Whitesburg. well, many of the details are still unclear, what we do know is that Letcher County Sheriff Sean Mickey Stynes has been accused of shooting Judge Kevin Mullins multiple times at the courthouse last Thursday. since then, very little information has actually come out, to according to Kentucky State Police, the shooting happened after the two men had an argument, but the nature of that argument is unclear.

also saw local outlets reporting that Stevens had allegedly walked into the judge's outer chamber, where he told employees and others gathered there that he needed to talk to Mullins alone. the two then going into the judge's and her office closing the door, and those outside reporting that they heard shots, after that, Stein just walked out with his hands up and surrendered to authorities, who arrested him without incident and later charged him with First-Degree murder. then in his first court appearance yesterday, Stein's pleaded not guilty.

while the investigation is still ongoing. That's pretty much all we know right now. right.

Law enforcement officials have not yet publicly confirmed a motive, and there doesn't seem to be any obvious one. Reportedly, Stein's and Mullins were colleagues who had worked together in various capacities, before Stein was elected as sheriff in 2018, he served as Mullins, as courtroom bailiff, then as the county's top ranking law enforcement officer, he's been responsible for providing security at courthouses, including for judges. he even had the county circuit court clerk telling reporters they saw the two men heading to lunch together just hours before the shooting.

and adding that he had worked with both of them for years and thought they were all friends. now, all that said, notably here, in addition to the murder charge, Stephens is also the subject of a separate federal lawsuit against a former deputy named Ben Fields, who served as Mullins bailiff after Stein's. specifically, that suit alleges that fields forced a woman to have sex with him in Mullins chambers in exchange for keeping her out of jail when she couldn't afford to pay fees for her ankle monitor.

a woman claiming that fields took her to Mullins Chambers because there were no cameras in there. then eventually fields being fired, pleading guilty to multiple charges and serving time in jail. while for Mullins.

He was not named in the suit, which also didn't say he was aware or allege that he was involved in any wrongdoing. complaint did accuse signs of failing to, quote, adequately train and supervise fields and claiming that he knew or should have known his deputy was sexually abusing women in his charge, also alleging that there are other women who fields had similarly abused. it then also being reported that Stynes gave a deposition in that case just days before the shooting.

all that said, to be very clear, there is no evidence yet that Mullins his death is connected to the suit against Fields or Stynes. His alleged involvement. are just currently trying to sift through the publicly available information to get any sort of possible idea, especially because at the hearing yesterday where Stein's entered his not guilty plea, he didn't provide any more clues or information.

so for now, we'll have to wait to see what comes from the investigation. And as far as what's next, there's another hearing set this coming Tuesday. I mean very notably here under Kentucky law, Stevens's case is eligible for the death penalty.

also, I will say on the note of Kentucky law, Stevens is technically still in office despite the murder charge and will remain in power until he resigns or gets removed by other action. your screen protector is on your phone. They serve a great purpose, putting them on yourself.

I mean, it could be stressful. mean, there's nothing more. Annoying is bubbles.

You just can't get out. that is, until now. Thanks to the longtime sponsor of the show, De Brands, prism 2.

0. yo, it has never been easier, at least for me. Right.

It's an edge to edge, scratch resistant glass, A. K. A.

it's really protective, fingerprint resistant, and apparently so easy to use. The Dbrand literally trademarked it as the idiot proof screen protector. Right in Dbrand.

As a company, they take protecting your devices seriously, one because they care, and two, they probably don't want to deal with your bitching online, which I love. That's two for two. It's why I use their phone cases.

like a premium grip. It's better than other phone cases because their grips have added textures in in addition to those grippy microscopic ridges they had liquid black grip strips to the sides of the grip case. and it's slim design.

It doesn't get in the way of you actually using it. not that it'll happen because of the grip, but I love the military grade drop protection in the clicky buttons that are addictively fun to use. am, I know is skin is the area 51 collection right?

It actually adds 3D elements. Each of the lines on the design actually has a different height, making it tactile. Right.

3D. don't have to just take my word for it. Go to dbrand.

com/reality and check it out for yourself. we need to talk about Mary Cooper. Because she was on the brink of death, struggling to breathe when doctors dramatically swooped in at the last minute to save her life.

but the big thing is they they did so completely against her wishes, right? She signed a do not resuscitate order, and by ignoring it, doctors put her and her family in a painful situation that they hoped to avoid. unfortunately, her story isn't some crazy one off.

instead, it's just one of many that highlights an ongoing crisis in the medical community with confusion around DNR as it leaves doctors unclear on what's required of them and patients uncertain that their wishes are going to be respected. Because again, Cooper is just one of the many people who have tried to make their wishes on resuscitation. Clear with her daughter, Sherry Uphold, telling The New York Times, mother's religious belief is when it is her time to go.

That's God's choosing, not hers. was very adamant about that. and so.

As a result, Cooper had a do not resuscitate and do not intubate order on file for decades. and then when doctors found cancer cells in her stomach last winter, she filled out new copies, explicitly stating that she did not want medical staff to take measures to restart her heart if it stopped, or to give her a breathing tube. at least on the surface level, DNR is a very straightforward.

or they basically say that if a person's heart stops and in some states if their breathing stops, medical staff shouldn't perform CPR, give medications to restart the heart, or take other resuscitate of steps like intubation, ventilation or defibrillation. but they proved to be much more complicated for Cooper when she went to the hospital in February for a stomach scope to determine how serious her cancer was. Because when uphold went to visit her mother in the recovery room, she found her panicking, gesturing that she was unable to breathe.

so uphold. Called for help and was escorted into a waiting room while medical team called an emergency code. with a medical record showing that Cooper became more distressed and uncooperative.

So the medical team restrained her and inserted a breathing tube down her throat. thus saving her life while violating the explicit wishes stated in her medical chart. Uphold.

She was pissed. But when she confronted the doctors, they couldn't explain why her mother was intubated. When she had made it very clear that she never wanted to be given a breathing tube.

and then when Cooper woke up, she started trying to pull the tubes and I. V. lines in her body, with her, motioning to her daughter and the doctors that she wanted the breathing tube removed, and Cooper herself later telling the times had me tied down.

I was scared to death. With uphold. Finding herself in the exact situation that she and her mother wanted to avoid, but her hands were tied or, as she told Cooper at the time.

If you take that out, you're committing suicide. And if I take it out, I'm murdering you. I won't do that.

the breathing tube was then left in, and Cooper became very sick, developing pneumonia and going into septic shock. by the time that she was actually finally stable enough to have the tube removed and go home on hospice care, the sickness and intubation had left her incredibly weak, limiting her mobility. so now, she deals with horrible anxiety, waking up most nights, grabbing for imaginary tubes.

and this is. She also now needs in-house care 24/7 and is unable to bathe, dress, or cook for herself. Because her family can't afford full time caregivers.

They end up providing most of her care. and this is Cooper remains angry at the doctors who saved her life are putting her and her loved ones in this position, telling the times interfered with me and God. I was ready to go and they took that away from me And that is exactly the sentiment that many people have when they sign DNR.

or the majority of patients who sign these orders are older people and usually folks who have serious underlying medical conditions fact, people older than 85 or as much as four times more likely to have a DNR than adults under 65, but also plenty of young, healthy people have them as well, with studies showing that between 10 and 20% of all hospitalized adults have DNR. again, many patients that need resuscitation are people who are already sick or frail, meaning that attempts to save them might not work like we saw in Cooper's case, successful attempts can result in significantly lowered quality of life. mean, take something as common as CPR, for example.

even when it's successful, it can cause irreversible damage because chest compressions can break the sternum and ribs or punctured the lungs, and that can prolong pain and recovery in anyone. But for people who are already sick or frail, those injuries can become insurmountable or stay with them in some form for the rest of their lives. and also despite what we've all been led to believe for medical dramas, CPR often doesn't actually extend life in a meaningful way for many people, especially older folks.

fact, a 2021 review of Global Studies found that only between 11 and 28% of older patients who experienced resuscitation after cardiac arrest in the hospital actually survive long enough to be discharged. and that number actually dropping to just 11% outside of a hospital setting, and then even when people do survive, they often have brain damage that can further lower their quality of life. mean, that's exactly what happened in the case of Cliff Robson, for example, who had known for decades that he did not want to be resuscitated.

when his vital signs worsened while in the hospital preparing for a heart valve replacement, the medical team performed CPR and restarted his heart, seemingly not knowing that he had a DNR. in this process of stabilizing his heart, Robson sustained multiple broken ribs and remained unconscious afterward. with a brain scan, then showing minimal activity, forcing his son to decide whether or not his father should receive a feeding tube to keep him alive.

again. Robson is not alone here. So it brings us to the million dollar question.

Why the hell does this happen to people who clearly spell out their wishes? well, as it turns out, it actually comes down to issues with the definition of resuscitation or more accurately, the lack thereof. Right.

Because back in the 1960s, resuscitation primarily referred to CPR. even then, according to doctor Max Virgo, a palliative care doctor for Dartmouth Health, medical professionals considered that to be the nuclear option to bring someone back after their heart stopped. then we saw the interpretation of the term shift drastically by the 90s, within medical literature, using resuscitation as a sweeping catchall to include tons of other medical interventions that would be used in cases that don't necessarily involve cardiac arrest, things like administering IV fluids or giving high doses of steroids or infections.

with Virgo, also explaining that while DNR is themselves is legal, documents didn't change in scope. The liberal use of the term resuscitation created confusion. right.

And that resulted in doctors administering or withholding care differently to patients with DNR is based on their own different interpretations. in many cases like with Cooper and Robson, that means administering resuscitation measures. A patient didn't want.

also I think is it goes the other way sometimes to Right. Sometimes doctors will withhold. Care permitted under DNR is like transfusions, antibiotics or dialysis because they're confused about whether that kind of care can be given, with a 2017 survey of 553 medical residents in the U.

S showing that a substantial portion would have made the incorrect choice to withhold necessary medical care for a DNR patient. help. Some even believe that diagnostic tests shouldn't be ordered for DNR patients, even if that's absolutely permitted.

also another part of this equation is that medical professionals are more likely to perform CPR if a patient goes into cardiac arrest due to a complication with treatment, rather than because of underlying conditions. with that same survey finding that nearly 7 in 10 medical residents said they would override a DNR in case of physician error. some physicians arguing that patients don't anticipate cardiac arrest from a course of treatment when they agree to a DNR.

fact, many doctors actually suspended DNR for surgery so they can correct reversible problems that might crop up, and while some hospitals do have policies in place that allow doctors to address those kinds of issues without spending a DNR, language and interpretations of those exceptions aren't consistent, with one expert here arguing that patients should have a right to decide if they want their DNR to remain active during surgery. but also saying at the same time that doctors should have a right to say if they're not comfortable with that. noting that in addition to personal reservations about not wanting to operate on someone who could die a preventable death, surgical mortality rates are tracked by national databanks and can reflect poorly on both the hospital and surgeon.

oftentimes the thing is, those conversations just don't happen. it's the same for discussions about DNR is in general even outside of the operating room, which can further lead to misunderstandings about what a patient wants. then even beyond all that, there are plenty of other simple reasons why DNR is or ignored.

doctors might just not know they exist. Hard copies are easily misplaced and information is lost during transitions of care. regardless, the situation as people have DNR is violated and their families can have little legal recourse because most violations are hard to litigate, then can also make it challenging to find a lawyer who even consider taking the case.

now that said, numerous medical institutions are taking steps to clarify the language of do not resuscitate, some hospitals even using the phrase do not attempt resuscitation to highlight the fact that CPR often doesn't actually revive people. some doctors have also said that they like more explicit phrases like, no CPR terms at frame. The choice is positive rather than a desire to withhold care like allow natural death.

you know, there it'll be interesting to see if that shift catches on at a broader scale and whether it's actually going to make a difference. in the meantime, I'd really love to know your thoughts here, whether you've had someone that had DNR, you have a DNR or someone in the medical community, any and all thoughts and reactions to this. I'd love to hear from you in those comments down below.

And then let's talk about bad money and politics. Because he is now just the latest artist to get involved in politics, but not with the US presidential race. Instead, we're talking about him today because he's getting involved in vocal about Puerto Rico's gubernatorial election.

him just having bought billboards in San Juan criticizing the Progressive New Party, one of the major parties in the territory, which is pro statehood. Right. And he shared photos of those billboards on ABC's This Week with a sign saying that a vote for the party, dubbed the PMP, is a vote for corruption and for the power company Luma Energy.

right. And that specifically is very notable because there's a lot of frustration over Puerto Rico's power grid and frequent blackouts. And it's a major political issue.

another billboard saying those who vote for PMP do not love Puerto Rico, with bad bunny himself writing. AD paid for by Benito Antonio Martinez Ocasio, a Puerto Rican who does love Puerto Rico. even though those billboards go after one party specifically Bad Bunny has not endorsed a candidate yet in the race.

but he has been very critical of both the P and P and the Popular Democratic Party in the past. both those parties sharing power. And as far as where the race stands right now, have shown that the Npp's candidate is leading, but a third party challenger from the Puerto Rican Independence Party has been gaining steam with young voters.

NBC news also doing a report earlier this year noting that a lot of young voters in the territory are very apathetic about politics and voting, and that this has allowed newer, independent parties to pop up to get their support. also as far as Bad Bunny's billboards, a report from Telemundo actually claimed that the PNP filed a complaint against them. though technically, the outlet didn't say that the signs in the complaint were bad bunnies, but the images shown were the same ones that he put up.

so as a result, you had him tweeting the PNP, using its power to try to silence me. is happening with democracy? them then also pointing to other issues, including allegations of electoral fraud that were just published in a report from Puerto Rico Center for Investigative Journalism.

also, I will say, if you're unfamiliar, like this is not bad. Bunny's first rodeo. This is not his first time speaking up.

mean, just recently he released a song criticizing the Puerto Rican government response to Hurricane Maria, as well as the leadership leading up to the storm. him getting involved is very key, because recent reports have noted that he does have major political influence in Puerto Rico. which is also led to a lot of people wondering, you know, how much that could translate into influencing the presidential race as well.

I mean, even The Washington Post doing a piece about what an endorsement could mean from him specifically pointing to how Pennsylvania is home to the third largest population of Puerto Ricans outside the island. right now, winning Latino voters over is a big hurdle for Kamala Harris. Polls have shown likely Hispanic voters don't support her as much as they supported Biden in 2020.

so with that, you had one Democratic consultant telling the outlet that bad bunny putting his weight behind a candidate, would be like a Thanos level event, like a snap. That's a game over moment. there I would say, you know, Bad Bunny does tend to keep his politics local to Puerto Rico.

Right. That is what many are asking. Following yesterday were several OpenAI executives announced within hours of each other that they were leaving the company.

and honestly doing so by releasing messages that felt like they were written by OpenAI. seemingly the one that garnered the most attention came from Chief Technology Officer Mira marathi. with a memo that she shared within the company and then later posted on reading.

Actually, I have an idea. Can you read the sentence that I'm going to send you in a second? Sure.

Go ahead and send it over. Can you read the last text I sent you? I can't read text aloud, but I can help clarify or expand on it.

so. Got it. If you need Okay, you can turn yourself off.

I'll be right here when you're ready to chat again. Are you still listening? Yes, I'm still here.

Let me know if you need anything. Okay. I'll do the job.

a memo she shared within the company. And then later posting on reading. I'm stepping away because I want to create the time and space to do my own exploration.

For now, my primary focus is doing everything in my power to ensure a smooth transition, maintaining the momentum we built. Right. Mira has been one of the faces of the company for a while now.

In fact, she was named the interim CEO during that brief ousting of CEO Sam Altman late last year. though notably there, she was also one of the hundreds of employees that threatened to quit if he wasn't reinstated. is she is widely known within the company for her hands on work and close involvement with the development of open AI core products.

so we're sudden departure. I mean, it's definitely going to be felt and even more so because she's not the only one leaving. or with the company's chief research officer, Bob McGrew.

And a vice president of research, Barrett Ziff, announcing their own intentions to leave the company just hours later. was off. Reportedly being a key researcher for OpenAI and McGrew being a project manager who helped map out strategies.

seemingly all these departures are happening as Sam Altman and others are reportedly pushing for OpenAI to become a more traditional moneymaking company. with Reuters reporting that the company is planning on restructuring their commercial arm into a for profit benefit corporation that will no longer be controlled by their nonprofit board. sources telling The Washington Post that this more typical structure will ease fundraising and employee compensation.

it also worth noting here that under this new structure, Sam Altman could reportedly be getting a nice amount of equity. now, as far as OpenAI actually becoming a for profit company, that likely won't happen until next year. but notably, this is also happening as they're currently in talks for a new round of investment, could reportedly hike the company's value up as far as $150 billion, which is a big jump from the 80 billion it's at now.

reportedly among the potential investors there you have Microsoft, Nvidia, Apple and the United Arab Emirates technology investment firm. all this. Right.

You have the Washington Post reporting that mirror's decision has nothing to do with those restructuring plan, citing an anonymous source close to and also in response to Mira's goodbye post on Zam, said that Mira, McGrew and XRP all made their decision to leave, quote, independently of each other and amicably. and adding leadership changes are a natural part of companies, especially companies that grow so quickly and are so demanding. I obviously won't pretend it's natural for this one to be so abrupt, but we are not a normal company.

but with that, you also have plenty of people saying, you know, these departures are just the latest in a long line, OpenAI izing many of their key players leaving the company in the last year or fact, of the 13 people who helped found OpenAI back in 2015, only three remain. And that also doesn't touch on the other issues the companies had in the last year. though also something that should be understood, like, something might be going on behind the scenes versus the companies going under.

These are not the same thing. Within the last nine months, they've more than doubled in size and brought more seasoned executives into the fold. but for now, we'll have to wait to see what happens.

Especially, I mean, when they start making the change to a for profit company. but then finally today, let's end on a congratulations and let's talk about yesterday, starting with congrats to Carla, who's a daily newsletter subscriber and just won $1,000 in a weekly SeatGeek giveaway towards her choice of ski tickets. there when a Kayla's thought is using it for the Alabama Auburn game.

for everyone else. That's right. SeatGeek and the Daily Tip are still giving away up to $1,000 in tickets.

And you should definitely enter today if you haven't already. can just add code PDFs to your Seacat profile for a chance, at the weekly $500 prize. No purchase necessary.

$1,000 prizes are available to daily dip subscribers who add code, PDFs, newsletter doubling entries, and winnings. so definitely get in. But then regarding yesterday, let's do some comment commentary.

And we'll start with Marcellus Williams, because that is where we had the most comments. With Rasul saying executing a man when the key witness admits to lying and admitting they were afraid the real killer would kill them as well, is truly fucked. others saying the phrase no evidence of his innocence sounded weird.

Is it? Presumption of innocence for the first trial and presumption of guilt on appeal. And they are folks responding.

Appeals presume the first trial was correct. Technically, the person is already found guilty in a court of law. was innocent.

Until that court ruled, only way to appeal is to prove the court was wrong. And it's a really high bar. Not saying it's fair or okay, but that's the system.

but then separately, there was also a lot of conversation around Chapel Room. and here we saw a lot of different takes. Eldridge saying, for her own sake, someone has to be on chapel side telling her to take a break from the internet.

Sometimes People on the internet are going to decide whatever they want, going to think what they want, and they'll never know your heart. Arguing with the internet is just not good for her peace. It never will be.

Though Gabby's saying she's clarifying her statement because people cannot help but to put words into her mouth. I don't consider this arguing with the internet. Maria saying, kind of feel like Chapel Ron is going to have a breakdown.

If she's always feeling forced to reply to stuff like this. Other saying chapel saying an endorsement and vote aren't the same thing. Basically completely describes how I feel about it to, to be honest, to someone pretty far to the left.

I'm going to vote for Kamala. But there are key issues for her that I take real issue with, like immigration and Garza. I think critiquing our leaders is very important, even if there's someone I really support, if they do something horrible that I disagree with, I'm going to call that out.

If I were in Chapel Place right now, I'd be saying the same thing. yeah, personally, just with everything involving that story, I just, I found myself exhausted. I personally did not care what chapel Ron was going to do.

I understand why people were asking for her to clarify. Because there are a number of people that are like, no, fuck Trump. And I don't like Kamala, so I'm not voting or I'm voting third party.

and the end result of that is drastically different then.
