This story makes me want to punch myself in the face. The question - can an innocent defendant, wrongfully convicted of a crime he didn’t commit, for which he served 25 years in prison, based on fraudulent evidence cooked up by racist prosecutors, sue the prosecutor?
Jesus mary and joseph, yes!
I’m assuming everyone has heard about the Pittsburgh gunman (http://www.cnn.com/2009/CRIME/08/05/pennsylvania.gym.shooting/) but apparently this dude (who worked at a big law firm. awesome) had an online diary:

I’ve been reading this for a half hour now. It is fuuuucked up.
“No matter what I say, it draws controversy. It’s sort of like the abortion issue.”

Is it supposed to be portmanteau of tumblr and popularity? Or is this some sort of Ray Kurzweil singularity thing where if someone becomes so obsessed with tumblr that their posting becomes so frequent and efficient that it reaches perfect, exponential efficiency, sucks up all the resources of the internet, causes tumblr to become self-aware and launch a world-wide nuclear strike, eradicating 98% of mankind and forcing the remaining humans to band together and fight back against tumblr?
All that to say, is tumblarity a good thing or bad thing? Should I be trying to increase it or trying to lower it to avoid destroying human civilization as we know it? Enquiring minds want to know.
