There's always springtime for Hitler

Great to see this continuing
(like ICAIL, Jurix, SubTech, ...)

I keep a copy nearby for times like these

(Hmmm, it's been nearby for quite some time ...)

The man's feelings seem among the less meaningful things to ask about

I always wonder whether it makes sense to propose such legislation, when failure to pass will let the miscreants claim that the result signifies its legality

Life in the 1600s

I'm an engineer, not a lawyer. That's why I see the civil justice crisis differently.

Most people in civil court have no lawyer. That doesn't just hurt them — it makes the system worse for everyone.

My favorite SNL sketch

As my dad said about carpentry, "Measure twice, cut once."

We used to leave voice mail messages.

Now we dictate text messages so that the recipient can play them back with an artificial voice.

Progress.

Last time I did that my wife and I happened to look out our kitchen window at see our two pet turkeys looking back at us. Moved to seafood for Thanksgiving after that.

Are war crimes 'high' crimes, or just misdemeanors?

Dotards will dotard

Are they not aware of the criminality, or do they just not care?

How might we make them care?

And as I said in the Other Place, "It takes rare talent to make great nations more villainous on the world stage than Iran"

Is it too early to expect public news about military personnel refusing to commit obvious war crimes?

Whenever one of our latest cognitive machines does something impressive (such as instantly satisfying my curiosity as to Proust's longest sentence, along with its English translation) we are tempted to post the result, like parents often do of their children's drawings. But I will spare you.

I've written a book called Trump for Dummies. Full contents:

"Trump doesn't care about us. And the longer we allow his greed and insanity to run wild, the worse off we will be."

And then we can settle back and enjoy an inspiring presidential address

I was astonished to hear Chief Justice Roberts call for an immediate vote and then personally advise his friend "Sorry, Mr. President, you can't cancel the Constitution by executive order."

(One can dream, can't they?)

Or the 22nd

We need some kind of tech to name and shame such people

When I was at a No Kings rally Saturday several people came up to me and said "Sir, I appreciate the respect you're showing for our brave Secretary of War."

(Not really.)

We have an American pope

and there's also a guy from Chicago in the top spot at the Vatican

Just another projection of his own derangement

Hmm. Trying to decode this. Slotkin has recently jumped out to me as a rising star. Not to you?

This is the town center of Harvard, about 25 miles west of the university after which it was named in 1732 (Princeton and Dartmouth having already been taken)

The Resistance lives even in small towns and freezing temperatures

We may need a new concept of 'peace crimes' - things done when no war has been declared that would constitute war crimes if a war had been declared.

At least he keeps his promises to the insiders who depend on inside information to make killings
