Siobhan Reynolds, RIP

So, y’all working on figuring out what your soon-to-be-short-lived New Year’s resolutions will be?

• Even former officers don’t go to jail: Indianapolis ex-cop gets probation for arson attacks.

• Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder (R) signs law banning domestic partnership benefits for state employees.
  (via Joe. My. God.)

• Anti-piracy logic: Guy harmlessly uploads early version of blockbuster movie (and arguably helps its box office ranking), gets thrown behind bars for a whole year. Totally reasonable.

• Damn. Siobhan Reynolds ^[pictured], pain relief warrior and governmental censorship victim, killed in plane crash.

• I wish you a Portal Christmas tree.
