As mentioned, Sunseri had proactively contacted the park on September 11, 2024, offering to help close the trail or assist with signage. Those offers were declined, and instead, in early 2025, prosecutors offered a deferred prosecution deal, but with severe terms, including 1,000 hours of community service, reeducation classes, and a five-year ban from Grand Teton National Park.

Sounds about right. Frumpy Bitch sounds like a good name for a cheap, high-ABV Appalachian cider.

Was it the hair?

Sunseri received widespread online support after his conviction and appeared on various podcasts telling his story. The hashtag “Free Michelino” also became prominent among the trail running community on social media.

Before the pardon, prosecutors agreed to seek dismissal if Sunseri completed 60 hours of community service and a course on wilderness stewardship, according to Sunseri’s attorneys. He had originally faced a fine of $5,000 and a lifetime ban from Grand Teton National Park.

The guy cheated and violated the National Park rules meant to preserve the Park. On top of that, he’s an “influencer” who was filming the run even though he knew it wasn’t allowed. He was going to get a slap on the wrist.

“Free Michelino”. He wasn’t imprisoned. Maybe, the original punishment of 1000 hours of community service was severe. But, they were trying to send a message because he’s an “influencer“.

If you’re gonna broadcast your life for attention, I think it’s fair to expect full punishment when you break the rules.

The big problem, according to what I’ve been reading, will be that government jobs don’t pay as well as private sector jobs but good lawyers would work for the DoJ for:

• the prestige/experience and/or
• the job security.

Those reasons have been utterly destroyed by this administration. The first reason might be revived but the second one, like all federal jobs now, will take a long time to be trusted.

It’s the thread you were talking about, though, right?

Are you talking about the thread where you said people should “harass marketers”? And got reported for describing how you’d kill the person you were arguing with?

It’s like you’re trying to prove Lemmy is like Reddit by being as unhinged as some people on Reddit.

Salt and Pepper Diner—John Mulaney

This account is on multiple instances and posts a ton of crap. Not sure what they’re trying to accomplish.

He did that after trying to buy an NFL team but getting denied by at every attempt by NFL management.

All of the investors that opposed this should divest, now. It’s the only sensible response.

Or, give them to people Trump envies. And make a bigger deal of it. Billboards in DC and Times Square, streaming ceremonies with fireworks and big-name bands and actors.

Make a mockery of it.

Cards Against Humanity could have one. The Daily Show. Jimmy Kimmel. They could all give one to each other.

Flood the news cycle but with peace prizes for other people around the same time as FIFA’s.

She’s like Nancy Mace but on medication.

Come on, Andy. Let the bitterness and shame spur your desire to lash out and hurt someone. Tell all and watch the place burn. Imagine walking into the US capitol building and dropping napalm in front of the world.

You think you’re fucked? Watch what happens to the USA when you prove who their President really is. At least a third of their heads will explode and the rest will just ignore you while they dance around the carnage and point fingers.

It will be glorious.

They do, now. Literally, this is the first one. I’m sure they did it to kiss Trump’s ass.

It’s pathetic.

Yeah, I’m with Apple on this one.

In the old days, instead of legislating stuff like this, governments, companies and NGOs would come up with a standard for interoperability. Everyone that participates benefits and safeguards can be put in place.

Back-paying furloughed federal employees after a shutdown predates Trump, FYI. That’s been the policy for a long time. It was made a law during Trump’s first term.

Of course, now they are threatening to not back pay them or, at least, omitting language about back pay from letters to furloughed employees.

Shit. Makes me worried for Ars Technica, too. It’s also owned by Condé Nast.
