For the Weekend Warriors, Weirdos & Whackjobs - Issue #16
Tip toe, to the weekend, by the bookend, is where I'll be.
We made it to Friday, fellow Bullshit Hunters. Take a bow. We were busy this week, seemingly filing an endless number of public records requests, wrangling datasets for our clients and engaging in hand-to-hand email combat with crusty, old, mean, government officials. You know who you are.
This week’s post saw an old-timey investigation from Somebody Else’s Lawyer named: Unraveling 19th-Century Mysteries: How to Solve a Murder. A twisty tale of false confessions, hammers of a variety size and shape (not a euphemism) and murder.
*dramatic music here*
As with all of her work, you should immediately go read it and tell 10 of your friends. That’s the rule.
Speaking of public records, it’s worth taking a peek at our page here. We’ll continue to list any new public records datasets, like the training manuals and information from CDCR that we posted to DocumentCloud here.
What Justin Watched This Week
The Last Voyage of the Demeter (IMDB) - Full disclosure up front here: I fell asleep watching this one and through no fault of the movie itself. It was just me being old and tired. However, for the parts I was awake for it was pretty good, so I guess, you know…this still counts as a movie recommendation. Kinda?
You know what? How about we all watch this one again this week and I’ll report back. Awkward.
What Justin Listened to This Week
You're Wrong About Tiny Tim - a recommendation from our intrepid leader, Kennedy Chappell, this one was worth the listen. If you have watched any of the Insidious movies in the last decade, you’ll know the horrifying song, “Tip Toe Through the Tulips”, sung by none other than, Tiny Tim. In this podcast the host, Sarah Marshall, and her guest, Harmony Colangelo, go through Tiny Tim’s troubling life and career. I was definitely wrong about Tiny Tim. This is well worth the listen for horror and history fans alike and the rest of the episodes are fantastic.
Don’t worry y’all, we’ll be back with more shenanigans next week. In the meantime, rest up, smoke a little and moisturize.
