I didn't.
The indictment date was initially scheduled for Jan. 18, but after both parties agreed in a letter to the court, it was changed to Feb. 17.

I guess the point is a single act of defiance means nothing to the bulldozer known as the 24 hour news cycle which will bury it faster than any single person can rehash it. Also the reason schools can be shot up and we are talking about a trump tweet by the end of the week.

I doubt anyone has forgotten about Luigi

Maybe some people with dementia or Alzheimer's

They ran the stories, collected public sentiment and reported that, then they stopped because nothing new has happened and the billionaires who own our news didn't like seeing how easy it is for us to find them, and how many of us out there want them dead

More will come as the case progresses

Yeah, there's just nothing new to report, and it's not like Luigi is going to talk to media or anything right now. More will come.

I've not forgotten my mom dying from cancer wiping out her life savings and a chunk of my dads. I will never forget the atrocities being committed daily. I will never relent. But we all have to live, and frankly it's exhausting to be as mad constantly as we really need to be based purely on how fucked up everything is. Also those fires were really distracting, NGL.

I will never forget. And remember, kids, all he needs is one.

...Capable of convincing the other 11. A mistrial would get retried with this much evidence.

Honestly I think the Daily Show even mentioned Luigi in a joke just this week (and in a positive way, no less). Some of their writers get it, and I presume many Gen Z haven't forgotten in general.

I just really want to see an interview with the guy.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

they're scared of Luigi because he can jump higher than Mario.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

He is more slippery and builds momentum better too.

Remind. Them.

[–] iAvicenna 7 points 1 week ago

well they have realized that the more they try to demonize him the more the opposite happens so they stopped reminding him

[–] jaggedrobotpubes 5 points 1 week ago

Nobody forgot about Luigi.

Tall and skinny is the best type of mario bro player two for life 🍄 🍄
