  • I think part of that with BB is that it takes place over a very short amount of time (like, under two years?). Not that there isn’t time for growth, but it’s pretty non-stop of just Stuff Happening as Walt just chaos-gods his way through things.

    Gertz v Welsh: He probably is an individual who has “…assumed roles of especial prominence in the affairs of society. Some occupy positions of such persuasive power and influence that they are deemed public figures for all purposes.

In either event, they invite attention and comment.”

    Not gonna check if that’s still good law. Westlaw, you are dead to me.
