crime show: well we don’t know what time she was taken but as you can see in this convenience store security footage she’s mouthing something and our lip reading technology tells us she’s saying ‘those three wise men they’ve got a semi by the sea’ which are lyrics to James Blunt’s song ‘Wisemen’ which was playing on that store’s favoured radio station at approximately 3:18PM and she disappears from view exactly five minutes later so therefore
crime show: now see usually we’d manage to get a timestamp from the security footage but unfortunately in this case the cameras only record a live feed and while you would think this means we shouldn’t be able to see the footage at all, luckily a famous Twutch streamer happened to be using it as their background footage while recording yesterday so
yes, but can you blow it up and enhance it?
unfortunately this particular footage is extremely low quality and very grainy but as I zoom in on this super blurry pixelated image you can see the details become much clearer and easier to identify
But what about the extremely specific pollen found on the camera lens?
good eye! originally I didn’t even notice it was there but while combing through the footage I noticed three different people sneezed while in view of the camera. I did some research and found that the particles represent the pollen of this obscure plant life that is native to this particular state, which really doesn’t help us, except that it only ever blooms in the opposite season! So I did some digging and found four nurseries within a 50 mile radius, only one of which sell that plant all year round, which of course means
Hold on just one moment! If the twitch streamer was using the cameras live feed as background, then we should know the time of the crime! The twitch archive should mark how long the streamer had been on by the time of the perpetrators presence onscreen, and if we know when they went live, we will know the time the perpetrator was in the building!
DAMNIT JONES THIS ISN’T YOUR CASE
WELL IT’S MY CASE NOW! The Captain thinks your kidnapping is related to my investigation into that cult up state. So, apparently, we’re supposed to work together. I’m not any happier than you are.
but I hate sharing!
TOUGH SHIT MCNAMARA! Your kidnapping case is somehow connected with that cult that’s been sacrificing its members to in the belief that it will appease the elder god Cthulhu. Now, I don’t like it any more than you do, and I’m worse at sharing than a toddler with a new favorite toy, but lives may well be on the line here! Are you willing to put aside our differences, and do what needs to be done?!
Alright, but when we catch the perp he’s mine. I don’t care if he’s sacrificed a hundred victims to goddamn Mickey Mouse! That man may know who killed my father, and I won’t let anyone get in my way – not even someone with your develish smile.
Do you think you’re the only one who wants to find Eric’s murderer?! He was my partner! He was my friend! I know we haven’t worked together before, but this case will have us working together for a while, until we eventually find your fathers killer. And I can see this case taking us a long time, and defining both of our lives for the foreseeable future. But don’t worry McNamara, my years of experience on the force, put together with your grit, tenacity, and loose understanding of the rules will make for a great partnership, with plenty of laughs and sexual tension to go around. Until some being from on high decides the precinct isn’t ready for a same sex couple, and I rekindle my relationship with my previously unmentioned ex-wife. But we, and some unknown watchers of our adventures, will always know we were meant to be together, weirdly large age gap be damned!
Yeah, and while Eric was off playing cops and robbers with you, I grew up without a dad! Do you know how many times I stared at my baseball glove, wishing he was there to throw it to me? You may have lost Eric, but I never even got to have him!
But you’re right. This case will definitely take at least a full year, especially with the fact that we will be constantly interrupted with other, smaller cases, one of which will be halloween themed. We’re working together for the forseeable future, and my playful countenance and morbid wit will very quickly mesh with your hardened attitude and tendency to keep secrets.
And while you go back to your unhappy, stiff relationship with your ex wife, I will be shown having constant meaningless sex with a multitude of beautiful women so that the writers can really get across how Not Gay I am.
It’s gonna be a wild ride, Jones. And there had better be stakeouts.

This is the best demonstration of the principle of “yes, and” that I have ever seen. They should put this in textbooks.
This is honestly better than most crime shows I have seen 😀
can we……can we not do this in 2018. like i’m not even necessarily saying the person commenting is incorrect, but can we not mention fr*rard on any member of mcr or their families’ posts please
so according to mcr lore, gerard way and frank iero (fre*rard) were together sometime during their time together in my chemical romance. they used to flirt and make out on stage, etc. there’s other “evidence” to back up the fact that they might have been in a relationship, especially during the prorev tour. personally, i believe they fooled around behind closed doors, but it was very confusing and messy and they didn’t put labels on anything. NONETHELESS, they’ve made it abundantly clear that they (and their wives!!!) don’t appreciate comments about fr*rard on their tweets/posts although they are fine with fan fiction in fan spaces aka not as comments/tagging them in posts about the ship
enjoy your rpf/theories or whatever, but like. use common sense. be respectful.
Don’t be a disrespectful dick and please don’t do this to people it’s embarrassing
how would YOU feel if someone constantly brought up your ex to you in front of your current partner and demanded you get back together….??
OMFG can people please check in on the history of every time the US government went ahead and did something the Constitution expressly forbid before thinking the 14th amendment is some kind of “checkmate.”
Like we have this entire STATE because we ignored the Constitution about how to make states that one time when a bunch of sugar tycoons didn’t want to lose their plantations, and the case has literally never come before SCOTUS because they reject it every year.
If your government has indicated that they are determined to do something, you better fucking listen. Because your armchair understanding of Constitutional law will not save you from the politics of power. If you want to avoid this, you have until Tuesday to fire every single one of them that would support this shit.
This is one point, but also many times the whole “this is unconstitutional” objection actually DOES end up stopping some nasty bullshit from going down.
I think the takeaway is, don’t rely on the existence of the Constitution to save us from bullshit, don’t rely on the success of challenges to the constitutionality of any new policies. But also don’t despair completely, because we at least still do have this framework of The Right Way To Do Things that can’t be entirely disregarded without a fairly high likelihood of triggering a large backlash. We’re not YET in a situation where we can expect anything our Oompa-Loompa-esque so-called “leader” decides to do on a whim will be immediately made law. There is still a system of checks and balances, and that system has not been completely stripped of all power to function.
Don’t let that make you complacent, don’t let yourself assume nothing bad will possibly happen – but don’t fearmonger and assume that the absolute worst-case thing is definitely going to happen. Don’t sit around thinking voting doesn’t matter because they’ll never get away with the really bad crap anyway (they might), but don’t be so paralyzed with terror that they’ll definitely get away with the bad crap anyway (they might not) that you don’t go out and fucking vote.
and if you continually vote for the lesser evil, EVENTUALLY YOU WILL GET A GOOD GOD DAMNED CANDIDATE
it’s not a Final Choice. It’s not a One Last Solution And Then You’re Done. You can turn right around and protest the very person you voted for if necessary. But ffs sitting on your hands with your fingers in your ears IS NOT the right move!
I try and bring up how he ruined free in state tuition in the name of hippie bashing when he was California’s governor often, but don’t exactly have the biggest platform.
“Worst of all, these students’ sense of the future is constrained by planning for and then paying down their student loans, often for decades. Economists are waking up to the fact that when young Americans enter the workforce burdened with over a trillion dollars in cumulative debt, they become risk averse, unwilling to move, less able to make major purchases, and slower to become homeowners. Not coincidentally, they don’t feel safe enough to register any major protests against the society that’s done this to them.”
Damn.
i am reblogging again because….. fuck ronald reagan forever and ever and ever and ever.
Economists should be adept in their fields, how are they only now realizing that paying off our student debt is a fucking priority over anything else other than food?
Weird, it’s almost like there’s something missing from the study of economics.
Who would have possibly thought that a young generation owing trillions of dollars could have a negative effect on the economy?
