PLEASE read this

bankston is my HERO he’s tearing these people apart

damn

HE LEFT

????

oh my god

KILL HIM

he is DONE.

HELP ME .

wow. ok.

genuinely first two pages he says that he thinks ben’s lawyer is the one who is actually suing him and admits he has no clue what the lawsuit is about .

doing a reread now this is so cunty

goddamn .

fun fact: the Mr. Bankston here is Mark Bankston, the same lawyer who absolutely ruined Alex Jones during the Sandy Hook trial.

how in the fuck did the muskrat's attorney pass the bar

Mark Bankston is gonna make me fucking SWOON.

I don't think Mark can ever top "INDEED, MR. JONES, INDEED" and "AND THAT IS HOW I KNOW YOU LIED TO ME" from the first Sandy Hook trial in Texas (not to be confused with Chris Mattei, the attorney in the Connecticut trial), but this part

MR. SPIRO: Do you give these lectures at all of your depositions?
MR. BANKSTON: I do, and you can watch them.

is ESPECIALLY hilarious to me having listened to multiple depositions Mark has had to take in the Sandy Hook case, where he has needed to lecture EVERY. SINGLE. ATTORNEY. at some point in the case about how they're violating Texas Rule XYZ, because they all, to a one, did something seriously ethically questionable during the deposition.

like, YOU CAN WATCH/LISTEN TO HIS DEPOS. HE DOES HAVE TO GIVE THOSE LECTURES EVERY TIME. IT'S NOT EVEN A JOKE.

and if you thought the "i give you permission to repay them in kind!" line was straight fire, how about this being the last line of the chapter in the old version of mdzs

“Since none of you will admit it, then I’ll let him point out the culprit himself.”
As if he had been waiting for those words for a long time, a black silhouette stiffly rose from the ground.

i can't fully relate to any takes that treat wei wuxian raising wen ning as a fierce corpse as a straightforwardly violating/reprehensible act, bc like. yes sure there are lines that should not be crossed and these two are full speed drifting over them in circles, and the fact that consequences are still real but their long-term planning is for a few hours ahead tops, and the inescapable power imbalance this event creates between them, and the obvious danger of not only letting someone have full control over you but blindly trusting them to handle it, and obligatory murder is bad don't do it at home kids. but it's not like wei wuxian only used wen ning's body as a convenient tool to vent his frustration without sparing a thought for wen ning's own feelings on the matter? as if it's not explicitly framed as an ultimate power fantasy fueled by wen ning's OWN anger and desire for revenge that wei wuxian is giving him a chance to fulfill?? it's always “remember that wen ning is powered by resentment and not a pure uwu sunshine boy” to argue that he's secretly a bitch or something, but when his spirit is taking revenge on the fucking. labor camp officers who beat him to death in a dedicated torture shack suddenly it's “wrong” and “bad” and “disrespectful” and “how could wei wuxian do this to him“? smh. wei wuxian crawled out of a mass grave as a vengeful ghost himself!! HE GETS IT! HE GETS IT!!! they're each other's worst enablers because there are things they understand about each other better than anyone else!

1) do this even if you're under 40. seriously. I definitely should have been doing something like this for years and I only turned 40 a month and a half ago

2) if you're like me just now trying this going "oh god i've only done 15 and i think my hands are cramping" start lower than 30 and increase by 5 once whatever number you're doing no longer makes your hand cramp up. I can manage about 15 per exercise at the moment.

If you're hypermobile, be especially gentle.

Yeah I have Hypermobility and tried these and immediately fucking hurt my hand real bad.
