Non-Sequiturs: 05.27.16

Ed. note: Above the Law will not be publishing on Monday, May 25, in observance of the Memorial Day holiday. * John Quinn is opening up a museum for the brokenhearted. Yes, this is real. [Big Law Business] * Chris Martin is getting some really good legal advice. [Jezebel] * It may have seemed like Baylor was super forthcoming when it fired Art Briles and demoted Ken Starr to law school professor for failing to adequately deal with allegations of sexual assault by football players, but really, they've mastered the art of saying nothing. [Lawyers, Guns and Money] * NBCUniversal to a federal judge: watch Straight Outta Compton. Actually, in context of the case, this request makes sense. [The Hollywood Reporter] * David Lat on why Peter Thiel shouldn't be mad at Gawker for reporting that he is gay. [Washington Post] * Walgreens allegedly didn't verify that the blood-testing technology Theranos was peddling actually worked before it partnered with the startup. [Law and More] * You may not like that Peter Thiel is trying to sue Gawker out of existence, but that doesn't mean the practice should be illegal. [Slate]
