  • Yeah, but paganism, animism, and Pastafarianism are all valid end points, too.

    There’s no social infrastructure behind Pastafarianism. If you’re in the clink for possession, the judge won’t remand you into the custody of a Pastafarian rehab program or grant hours of community service for organizing with Pastafarian social groups. Pastafarians don’t evangelize at local prisons and there’s no benefit to subscribing to Pastafarianism while incarcerated.

    The reason people end up “finding religion” is because religious people are finding them. Church groups love scavenging drink tanks and prisons for recruits. It’s the bargain basement for human labor







  • Well, but that’s impossible. In China, he won’t have any freedom. He needs to stay in the United States where he can pursue research into biology and medic- door bang

    shouts of military police

    repeated gunfire

    screams of terrified research assistants

    confused orders from multiple officers at once

    more gunfire

    moaning from injured civilians

    more gunfire

    radio chatter from officers

    “Yeah, they were armed. Looks like syringes and a bunson burner. Yes. All illegal. Yes, we’re cleaning up now. No need to report this up the chain, they already know. Signing out.”



  • So long as there is no criminal prosecution and threat of material jail time against him, Jones is free to keep hiding the fiscal sausage by transferring ownership and shuffling around money between accounts in other people’s names. I’m sure this is an expensive and obnoxious process on Alex’s end. But it’s a small price to pay to shield hundreds of millions of dollars from any kind of court judgement.

    Add in that Jones has plenty of friends in the Texas state house and the Austin PD. So he can very easily skirt processors, ignore out-of-state court orders, and glad hand sheriff’s deputies who would otherwise pursue collections against him, simply because he’s got popular clout in his big reactionary backwater.

    At some point, the problem isn’t with the courts but the police. Judges and juries don’t do the collections themselves.
