Normal people: the courts are very serious interpreters of the law

The courts: go ahead, impersonate the feds

The real conservative objection to VA redistricting is pure Wilhoit: you have to obey laws & proper procedure & we don't. They can't just out and say that in public though, at least not yet, so they are desperately flailing about for some kind of cover argument.

The obvious solution is a national law that mandates fair, objective redistricting everywhere, but *conservatives do not want that*. To be subject to the same rules as everyone else -- as all the lesser people -- is inherently offensive to them.

(All I ever do is restate Wilhoit.)

6) i do think that AI is materially contributing to an erosion of truth and trust that's been going on a while already and that it's going to get worse.

Companies such as Deloitte and Zoom are cutting back on PTO, paid parental leave and other “perks.” The companies claim they need to cut costs amid economic uncertainty, but they’re diverting funds to AI investment. Let’s look at the history of PTO and parental leave in the U.S. /1

A group of Ecuadorian fishermen survived a US drone strike, were detained at gunpoint, hooded, phones wiped, ship blown up, disappeared to El Salvador, then released without charge.

“They knew we were fishermen. Even the Salvadorian authorities said things had been handled very badly.”

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps says it is ready to confront any new aggression and will “inflict crushing blows on the enemy's remaining assets” in case of renewed battle, according to Iranian media.

The implicit media consensus is that urban voters should not be able to overrule rural voters, but that rural voters should be able to overrule urban voters, an assumption so axiomatic and unquestionable that nobody even understands they're making it.

Drag queens testify against Ohio performance ban • Ohio Capital Journal Performers, including Nina West, testified this week against an Ohio bill that would ban public drag shows.

Like, ma'am, you had a flock of drag queens show up at the state capitol to explain how the bill's language would ban anyone with fake boobs and you still kept it in.

So I'm going to have to go with the broadest possible interpretation of the law. I wish news outlets would too.

“I can tell you, as somebody who has been a natural resources trustee, who has had to negotiate with copper companies in my own state, that this type of copper mining has never been done without polluting the water. Never, not once,” he said in a floor speech before the vote.

45. Reffitt advanced towards the Capitol carrying a megaphone, which he directed toward Ms. Kerkhoff. He shouted something furious that she could not comprehend. Ms. Kerkhoff commanded Reffitt to stop, and—per policy—warned him that she would have to use the PepperBall launcher. He did not comply. So, she began to escalate her response, as she had been trained to do. She aimed first at the ground to get the PAVA powder chemical airborne without striking him. He did not stop. She then shot slightly upwards, towards his chest. This had no effect—he appeared to be wearing either heavy clothing or body armor. She estimated she fired approximately 40 to 50 PepperBalls at him. Again, he just kept moving. Whenever he moved forward, the crowd advanced behind him. Other rioters seemed emboldened by his defiance and his ability to endure Ms. Kerkhoff’s rounds. 46. When PepperBalls proved ineffective, Ms. Kerkhoff’s partner arrived with the FN-303. But even FN-303 rounds had no effect on Reffitt’s advance. Finally, an officer retrieved a pepper spray cannister and deployed it directly at Reffitt’s face. Reffitt finally buckled, though he continued to wave the crowd past him. 47. By this time, Ms. Kerkhoff was positioned on the middle of a narrow staircase approximately four feet wide, with about two people abreast per stair. She was with a handful of fellow officers. Roughly 50 to 60 protesters were positioned on the staircase and rail, backed by thousands more. The sound was deafening—the officers couldn’t hear their radios or hear each other speak. Rioters held up scaffolding tarp to protect themselves from less-than-lethal irritants. Ms. Kerkhoff shouted “PepperBall!” “Get back!” and “Stop!” repeatedly, as loud as she could. She fired more PepperBalls, attempting futilely to stop the mob’s advance. The crowd pressed on, and Ms. Kerkhoff’s unit was overwhelmed. Rioters pushed Ms. Kerkhoff’s partner into a doorway. They pushed the gas mask off his face, sprayed him with mace,…

…at the moment…

"Defendants knew that contacting the subject of a highly damaging allegation before publication is a basic requirement of responsible journalism. Their failure to do so was deliberate: they did not contact Ms. Kerkhoff because they did not want to hear evidence that would contradict their story."

"Ms. Kerkhoff and Mr. Dickert plan to move, potentially out of state, so they may escape the social isolation that Defendants’ false accusation has forced them to endure." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

179. Ms. Kerkhoff read Defendants’ November 8 Article in disbelief. Like on January 6, she immediately snapped into crisis response mode. 180. Ms. Kerkhoff had already retained a personal data removal service provider to scan and remove private information from data brokers and “people search” sites in preparation for Trump pardoning the January 6 defendants. She now called immediate family members and pleaded with them to do the same. She even retained and paid-for the same personal data removal service provider for her entire immediate family. 181. Ms. Kerkhoff and Mr. Dickert drove to the grocery store and bought a trunk-load of frozen food. Then, fearful for their safety, they rarely left the house for two weeks. Every time they did, they were followed. They did not know by whom: investigators, reporters, or people who believed Defendants’ false claims and intended to harm them. 182. Ms. Kerkhoff received an enormous, unwanted amount of attention from reporters. Some found her name on Venmo and attempted to send her $1 so they could “connect,” enabling them to send her direct messages. Ms. Kerkhoff was forced to disguise her identity on Venmo and to lock down her profile from public searches. Others reached out to her through Signal. She deleted that app entirely. Ms. Kerkhoff once saw a mysterious man walk up to her front door. He turned out to be a reporter for the Daily Wire. On a Friday night, Blaze Media’s editor-in-chief Christopher Bedford visited her home in Alexandria, Virginia; Blaze Media later reported that he was “pulled over by local police after stopping to observe” it.
