Luxury Bentley Smashes into Pensioner's Car
I find it disgusting that maiming two people and leaving them to die (if they had survived, runners rarely check) would get 8 years and fleeing 10, but I don't doubt it.
Depends on the state, but I think convicts with good behavior do less than 1/2 in most cases. Time served is often even better for them, getting 10 days credit for every 4 served in jail awaiting and during trial. In cali, if it's non-violent and under 4 years, you might get parole instantly, our prisons are full to bursting.
a guy hit and killed two people in my neighborhood and ran away from the scene; I think he ended up with 18 years which I'd guess he ends up serving half (I really don't know how that works); 10 of the years were for fleeing the scene; I would guess fleeing is pretty common; ties into flight or fight
if I remember correctly, I think he was going either 55 or 65 in a 25
When woman couldn't run in the Boston Marathon...she ran
Back when she started them, perhaps, but it still seems odd to me for HER to perpetuate the separate and unequal methodology that had worked so hard against her....different times....and I'm weird.
Today, as the article mentioned, there's not really good reason besides "girl power-female empowerment", which I find as distasteful as the idea of male only "boy power" races, which don't exist as far as I see outside of Iran.
Conversely, if little girls might need girl only racing to feel comfortable, why can't little boys feel the same and so get boy only races? Being ridiculed by girls for being a slow or odd runner hurts boys the same as the reverse hurts girls, no?
Most marathon finishers are women, they've proven they can and will run with men anywhere, but still today often men can't run with them.
Why does no one ever seem to want the pendulum of inequality to stop in the middle?
It seems there were good reasons to have women only races.

Altered Carbon Trailer
I too, read and loved this book years ago when it came out in paperback. From this trailer I get an almost Blade Runner meets The Expanse *quality vibe.
Videosift Sarzy's Top 10 Movies of 2017
I watch very few movies. I may have seen ten movies from last year. Of those few i would recommend seeing The Big Sick and Blade Runner 2049. Those were both excellent.

Great year for movies. Loved Dunkirk and Baby Driver. Also loved the new Blade Runner but it doesn't surprise me when it is missing from people's top 10.
Mortal Engines - Official Teaser Trailer
I’ve nothing against YA fiction... I read and enjoyed the Hunger Games well into my 30s. This just has the look of Yet Another Dystopian YA Adaption in the vein of Hunger Games, Maze Runner, Divergent and so on. Doesn’t mean it’ll be BAD, though.
I liked that book when I was a YA!
Trailer didn't look to good tho.

Shannon Sharpe on Trump, NFL and Protest
Good and interesting stuff in there.
I think Sharpe is right that this escalation happened for a pretty silly reason (known blowhard and mouth-runner Trump runs his mouth, news at 11), and the NFL vs Trump skirmish detracts from the root issue that Kaepernick was trying to bring attention to a year ago.
On the other hand, I kinda agree with the other guy that maybe bringing attention to that skirmish will also bring attention to the original issue, so maybe it is a net good thing.
Yeah, the owners aren't going to give a fuck until shit lands on their doorstep. Yeah, calling people a "son of a bitch" rates at about a 2 on the "Trump just said what?!" scale. Sharpe's cynicism about how we got here makes a lot of sense.
I didn't care about Kaepernick sitting for the anthem a year ago enough to pay attention. I wasn't against it. I didn't think the was trying to "disrespect" the flag / soldiers / country / whatever, but I wouldn't have really cared if he was. Aren't people allowed to be anti-war? Opposed to mindless nationalism?
Fast forward to today. The billionaires that Sharpe mentioned who donated big sums to Trump's campaign finally get upset when his shit lands on their door. His (comparably tame) "Twitter attacks" on the NFL kick off a dog-and-pony show that may possibly have been cunningly intended to distract from the much more weighty stuff that Kaepernick was trying to draw attention to in the first place, but I seriously doubt that Trump is that clever.
However, something good did come of it: I went from "meh" to paying attention. I went back and listened to Kaepernick's interview about why he was sitting for the anthem from a year ago (embed below), which I didn't watch at the time. I heard a rational, honest, and eloquent young man calmly and clearly explain what he was doing and why he was doing it.
He saw injustice, and wanted to do something about it. He had access to a soapbox that very very few of the people on the receiving end of that injustice have. So, he made up his own mind to do something to try to get conversations started. He was surprised and confused that anyone would see his actions as disrespectful towards soldiers / military, and was later persuaded (by a Navy SEAL) to kneel as opposed to sit for the anthem in an effort to make that more clear.
He seemed aware that he can only control what he does -- not how people will try to spin it, and not how people may react to it. And he also clearly accepted that his actions could have consequences, and that he didn't want to rope anybody else in to acting with him unless they were prepared to accept those consequences also.
So, yeah. Some good came of this recent escalation, even if it came for the wrong reasons. Because some of the people that get drawn in to the dog-and-pony show might decide that they care enough to go back and take a deeper look at it, like I did. And when they look deeper, they're going to see Trump's standard, everyday twitter nonsense on one side compared to a lot of more rational stuff like, say, perhaps actually listening to words of the person that got the ball rolling on the other side (Kaepernick, and others). I like the way that scale balances out.
