An interesting case (from a book which I unfortunately can’t remember the name of) from when Jack Benny’s career transitioned from radio to tv: he hated the laugh track, so much so that he demanded it be cut way back and lowered in volume. He also utilized it in an unexpected way: when he had a live audience in certain cases, if a joke or gag got an unexpected big laugh that he didn’t think deserved the reaction, he’d fill in a laugh track with a more muted response.
You’re saying a cis teen painted this chapel? Woke agenda!
“I kept them safe from the corrupt Universal Postal Union, and can I get that money out of my secret trust please? I even filled out this UCC-1 in red ink”
Please, RVs are for the poors, it’s a Motor Coach
That and a set of kneepads.
Monitoring software effectively does middle management’s job, so they have to figure out how to justify themselves. Hence the return to office mandates, etc., instead of strapping a vibrator to your mouse for the afternoon and getting your 8 hours of performative busywork done in the 3 productive hours it actually takes.
Moms Mabely practically wrote his epitaph: “They say you shouldn’t say nothin’ about the dead unless it’s good. He’s dead. Good.”
Eyedrops are ungodly expensive. If you can wait a day or two, Amazon will usually ship a two pack for less than a single one from Walgreens or CVS. No one can justify $19 for a single goddamn bottle of eyedrops.
He can walk that back, precedent schmecedent
“Before it moves to the house”
And guess who controls the house, and then it gets vetoed by the democrat governor, who then gets overridden, and then the goddamn state Supreme Court decides to have that shit etched in stone. Sherman should’ve made one more pass.

Put the lithium in already.
The kicker for me was that they are bought, but seldom read. Nobody is going to read about killing a puppy, but we all know it’s in there, so it’s put on a shelf as a statement (much as the book itself is more of a shoddily-written ghostwritten statement than anything else — perhaps “I can read”).
If it’s part of a performance, for example. I guess the point of the debate here is that context matters and that you can do it under very, very specific circumstances.
“Free speech” is very much misunderstood as a form of carte blanche as your example demonstrates. It’s written as “Congress shall make no law…” etc., implying you’re protected only from the federal government, but as time and court cases and legal discourse have shown, there are limits and implications for lower legislatures to model from. The classic hypothetical example is “yelling fire in a crowded theater.” Can you? Yes. Should you? Unless there’s a fire, no, then it could cause panic and injury, and you’d be responsible. That sort of thing. (The US loves a lawsuit).
Tl;dr to answer your question: no.
The ISP motto: “I am altering the deal. Pray I don’t alter it any further.”
Going from 9 to 10 hours? No need to worry about that modafinil industrial complex yet, boys!
“Justice system” is a misnomer. “Legal system” is more apt.
There’s a very simple way to answer this sort of question that was posed — by condemning the blatant racism of the statements themselves while acknowledging he didn’t know if Kirk had said them — and he decided not to do that.
