Okay so this really fucking bugs me

The backstory for this timeline is that criminal law started getting stricter and stricter, which for some reason led to a ton of frivolous lawsuits? So many lawsuits that King Max built a robot judge (this world’s Robotnik) to handle it all. And then Robotnik took over, because of course he did. All this just so they could do an asinine Ally McBeal parody which was completely lost on me because who the fuck is thinking about Ally McBeal in 2019

The thing is, this is definitely ALSO inspired by the famous “McDonald’s coffee lawsuit.” And boy does THAT annoy me! See, this lawsuit is often held up as the poster child for frivolous legal battles by people who don’t have their facts straight (people like writers of this story Evan Skolnick and Jim Spivey, apparently). You’ve probably heard about it before. “Of course the coffee was hot!” people who think they’re clever always say. “She shouldn’t have been driving!” (She wasn’t driving.) The thing people neglect to mention is that the elderly woman who sued got third degree burns because the coffee was nearly 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Her burns were so bad that she was in and out of the hospital for two years and had to undergo skin grafting. She nearly died!! She sued to cover her medical expenses and won, in part because hundreds of other people had also reported burns from their overheated coffee, but the McDonald’s lawyers strongarmed her into privately taking a settlement far lower than what the judge and jury called for

Sadly, most people fell for the McDonald’s spin on this story, framing it as a crazy old lady suing a poor, helpless multi-billion dollar corporation. This narrative that frivolous lawsuits are rampant in America today? Is just a thing wealthy capitalists made up because they’re afraid of legal action. Corporations aren’t your friends, folks

Here, if y’all wanna know more, a quick search turned up an Adam Ruins Everything segment on the subject which goes into more detail

And yes, I can’t believe I’m talking about this because of a Sonic comic

Knuckles’ mom and Wynmacher finally got married! I’m sure ya’ll were just dying to see this happen. Truly the most hyped event in the history of Archie Sonic

Wynmacher had to come to his own goddamn wedding in his normal stupid Darth Knuckles outfit and his “I'm sleeping with your mom” bathrobe because nobody would fucking recognize him otherwise. Actually, only Lara-Le seems to have dressed up for the occasion! Knuckles came to his mom’s second wedding in the nude
