Non-Sequiturs: 08.23.17
* ESPN removed announcer “Robert Lee” from coverage of the University of Virginia’s opening football game because… well, there’s a “Robert E. Lee” statue in Charlottesville and ESPN just assumes that everybody in the country has CTE and can’t figure out what’s real life anymore. [Deadspin]

* Galaxy Note 8 is out. I’m giddy imagining what will be wrong with this one. “The stylus goes into tracheotomy mode if your breathing is obstructed to 8 seconds, or you just have a big gulp of water.” “The phone automatically switches to its orgasmic vibrate function, when in a pocket or low-light environment.” “It has dual cameras, one for you, and one for the NSA.” Being an early adopter on the 8 is like being a human test subject for anti-venom manufacturers. [CNET]
* “Research Finds Justifiable Homicide Rulings More Likely to Benefit White Americans.” Oh, I remember being a 1L. I remember sitting on my chaise lounge in my apartment, reading my Crim Law, when it really hit me that the entire concept of “reasonableness” was designed by white people to make it okay for them to slaughter any black man who they perceived as a “threat.” I remember my non-law-student white roommate telling me that I was surely misunderstanding my homework. I remember wondering if “anybody else was aware of this.” And I remember the pain of learning that everybody else knew the system worked this way but there was nothing to be done about it. I… really hated law school. Every casebook is like an acid enema to clear your system of its expectation of moral decency. [Law Street Media]
