Going home early.
Adios, Espana. You gotta put away those chances when you get them. But don’t worry. The Iberian peninsula will be represented in the quarterfinals after Portugal ran roughshod over the Swiss. And those quarterfinals start Friday. On this side of the planet, Baker Mayfield has landed in LA with the Rams. OBJ may not end up at Dallas after all. The Phillies are spending money like a drunken sailor. This is both hilarious and sad at the same time. And that’s pretty much it for sports.
This will be fun. I hope they spend all their time on shit like this and no time whatsoever seeking “bipartisan solutions” for anything. since that’s merely code for spending a shitload of our money and it accomplishing nothing of consequence.

I remember when this kind of thing would have outraged the left. That time ended in early 2021.
I guess I need to read a bit on this. It’s flown under my radar until I noticed all the leftists on twitter are claiming it makes the current SC illegitimate and in need of packing by Biden.
I’m glad this seems to be getting resolved somewhat peacefully. Although I don’t trust the CCP government, and I fear the protesters will now be gradually rounded up and punished in the most severe ways possible.
How the fuck was this guy still on the payroll? Let alone put in charge of vetting documents on the Hunter Biden laptop matter? Come on, Elon. If you’re gonna clean house, go all in.
Can some of our legal minds chime in here? Is this a 1A violation, or does the court have a right to impose attorney-client privilege on a former attorney?
“But that’s different!” – SF
Nobody has ever taken a nap at work before. And heaven forbid the employer provide a quiet, comfortable space for them to do so in.
You better keep your promises, Dan. I think they will. And I think it will unfortunately lead to more people fleeing here and voting for the stupid shit they left. It’s a bit of a catch-22, but it’s still the right thing to do.
Man, when that bass comes in…damn. Such a great intro and it only gets better from there. And here’s another special one. What fantastic music. Enjoy them both.
And enjoy this lovely Wednesday. This is it for me and Banjos until Monday (with an auction tomorrow). Go have a great day, friends.

How the fuck was this guy still on the payroll? Let alone put in charge of vetting documents on the Hunter Biden laptop matter? Come on, Elon. If you’re gonna clean house, go all in. – the swamp cannot be drained overnight
He knew though:
Just speculation – but rather than lay him off with severance pay, Elon wanted a reason to publicly fire this guy for cause with no severance.
If so, I like it.
That’s pretty accurate speculation I would say.
Yep. I think it was 100% a trap for ol Jim
I hope he is firing everyone in his HR department too. You know they had to be involved in telling him who was working there and why, and I am gonna bet money they are the ones that didn’t tell him who that scumbag was.
You better keep your promises, Dan. I think they will. And I think it will unfortunately lead to more people fleeing here and voting for the stupid shit they left. It’s a bit of a catch-22, but it’s still the right thing to do. – what about the severely underfunded education system? This is why Texas ranks last in the US in high tech industry. Also why Texas Instruments sucks.
Texas Instruments is amazing.
The North Carolina Supreme Court kinda went the way the Florida Supreme Court did in Gore v. Bush. Ya’ll remember that, when SCotUS unanimously asked them what the hell were you thinking? It was the remedy phase that went 5-4. You can read the dissent from North Carolina to understand how fucked up the Democratic majority on the court was.
The justices will consider whether to embrace the obscure “independent state legislature” theory
You mean the theory that “The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof” in the Constitution means it is up to the legislature to write election laws?
It’s as obscure as “Congress shall make no law…abridging” or “shall not be infringed”.
What do those words even mean? It was written so long ago, no one can know for sure.
It was written in a dead white language. We will translate it for you.
To further emphasize the point – the North Carolina state constitution only describes the redistricting of the NC state legislature (both houses), it makes no provision for how Congressional seats are defined. And of course the Court also decided that if the Legislature wouldn’t agree to produce a map as commanded, then the Judicial branch would simply usurp that power.
It’s like how EOs are constitutional if congress fails to pass legislation desired by the president.
+1 declaration of (perpetual) emergency

All this stuff just convinces me more that we need an amendment to make US House elections state-wide with single, transferrable vote.
It solves all the gerrymandering issues and whatnot once and for all. And would be hilarious in California and other large states. But especially California.
Any state-wide election allows D centers to stuff boxes.
I don’t understand why the Teams are taking opposing sides on this, unless that’s just spin from the author.
The Dems gerrymander too, you know. The Pubs should arguably thank a state court for throwing out the map created by New York’s Dems and replacing it with a non-gerrymandered version that let them flip four seats and win the House.
Just go to proportional representation and get rid of districts
As if Ds didn’t already have enough incentive to stuff ballot boxes.
The argument in this case is that gerrymandering is only bad when it works against Dems.
It just seems… uh… Stupid to be in favor of the legislature having the final say when they ought to know damn well it will be used against them some— oh well, almost got it out.
My motion detecting light bulbs came, and they work. Now I don’t have to replace the fixture at the front door. What’ll they think of next?

I remember when this kind of thing would have outraged the left.
Foreigner killed by foreigner in foreign land. Why is it a matter for US courts?
America Uber Alles?
That’s what I couldn’t figure out. Seems correct to toss it just for that.
Yea, the headline said “US based journalist.” So, I assume he wasn’t a citizen, and he was killed outside our borders. Shitty, but not our problem.
And a columnist isn’t a journalist.
Isn’t this the one where the columnist was lured to the Saudi Embassy in the US and killed there, so within our borders but not on US soil? But Brandon has never been averse to dealing with totalitarian thugs if the price is right.
It was the Saudi Embassy in Turkey, so not within our borders.
Saudi Embassy in Turkey, not the US.
The Pubs should arguably thank a state court for throwing out the map created by New York’s Dems and replacing it with a non-gerrymandered version that let them flip four seats and win the House.
Muh principles!
“Taibbi further revealed that former Wall Street Journal and New York Times writer Bari Weiss is also involved in reviewing the social media giant’s internal documents related to The Post’s Hunter Biden story and that it is was her who discovered Baker’s involvement, which Musk was unaware of, according to Taibbi.”
Interesting.
I’d rather have Greenwald in there, but I’ll take what I can get.
Weiss is a useful idiot for the neocons of the worst kind.
Even Greenwald and Taibbi aren’t perfect. I’m a little sick of carping about someone doing good because they aren’t perfect.
They’re not, but even though they’ve got their peccadilloes I do trust them to be fully honest. Weiss’s propensity for publishing what is essentially straight-up propaganda for the warfare state bothers me.
Her substack is good.
But not Q worthy
Are you saying it is subQtaneous?
I’d say a C-cup.
which Musk was unaware of, according to Taibbi
See above.
Eh, he could easily forget 8(?) Months later about a single tweet.
Apparently this is (was?) a real WaPo headline:
‘Shark Week’ lacks diversity, overrepresents men named Mike, scientists say
Shark Week is a microcosm of the systems of oppression in the wider society. Also wtf is shark week some weird white people shit. American white people at that, because it aint no thing in Europe.
because it aint no thing in Europe.
Because I can’t think of any European countries with 95,000 miles of coastline.
Norway says hello.
63,000 miles at most. And not too sharky due to cold water.
There are sharks in cold water
basking shark range https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basking_shark#/media/File:Cypron-Range_Cetorhinus_maximus.svg
I didn’t say “shark-free”.
Obviously there are sharks, or they couldn’t have invented hakarl
It’s not 95,000, but Denmark’s is way up there, if you halfway-cheat and count Greenland…
In Australia, every week is Shark Week.
Where are the documentaries about great black sharks?
Is this the return of “black people don’t swim”? Because that’s not racist at all. 🙄
“Why would I know I could do that?” Whitenack said. “I don’t come from a family of scientists. I didn’t see very many people that looked like me on television.”
And it she somehow became a scientist anyway. JFC, at least try to not use self decreasing personal examples.
Gladly, she’s doing super important research in biology.
“Whitenack led a team of researchers to examine hundreds of “Shark Week” episodes that aired between 1988 and 2020. ”
J/k she’s running DIE studies from inside the biology department.
“Diversity in people brings diversity in thought, which ultimately brings innovation,” Bohannon said. “Being able to see someone who looks like you in this field really has an impact.”
She claimed, without evidence.
I have never understood people that think their worth comes from what other people that looked like them or had the same sexual proclivities that they do. I have always measured myself against individuals and myself. Helped me do quite a bit. But I guess when we live in a time where they want to artificially inculcate people that have done nothing of worth with self esteem, you need this sort of slight of hand. I also am firmly convinced the reason we have so much more mental disorder is that a vast majority of these people with huge self esteem and no accomplishments of real worth deep down inside know they have been sold a lie and it is causing their brains to short circuit.
In a small town school one is often compared to one’s siblings, for better or worse.
“Your brother/sister is nothing like you”
When you have nothing else you will even make up stuff about people who look like you.
All of us white boys only wanted to be Larry Bird when we were growing up. Isaiah Thomas? Fuck that noise.
“Diversity in people brings diversity in thought, which ultimately brings innovation,” Bohannon said. “Being able to see someone who looks like you in this field really has an impact.”
This seems like a self-contradicting statement.
The lie is that the diversity in people is accomplished by demanding absolute conformity of thought. Any dissent is wrong, which of course is absolutely backwards as far as the scientific method goes.
If at all, it’s only because you’ve been propagandized all your life to believe that.
Sleeping on the job is on the short list of things I can get fired for. The others are drinking on the job, and felonies.
How about sex in the broom closet? Is that allowed?
It depends on who’s involved.
As a contract worker you are not exempt from having to be prosecuted for having sex with a minor. That special love making with kids thing is only for the full time government employees.
Depends on if it’s liberating queer sex or oppressive cisheternormative sex.
But accessing the janitor’s closet without authority is a fireable offense.
So it’s ok if you’re fucking the janitor.
+1 Costanza
Was that wrong? Should I not have done that?
No, this isn’t a hospital.
When I was at a 3-letter agency we had some flexibility. One of the soldiers liked to take lunch-time naps and would disappear to the “prayer room” since napping in the office looked bad. It didn’t matter if you were productive. It was appearances that counted.
That’s all government agencies in a nutshell… Government entities can and will never solve any problems because that would mean the institution would not be needed anymore.
Sleeping while you’re supposed to be working is frowned upon in the private sector. Napping while pulling an all-nighter to accomplish a time-sensitive task isn’t all that uncommon in some industries.
I’ve worked places before where they had nap rooms. And they were used when we had an auction coming that required about 48 hours of round-the-clock work clerking a sale.
The twitter employees were not working 48 hours a month.
Not anymore.
Actually the ones there sure are. It’s the ones that no longer work there and will only be picked up by government based since it is now known they are entitled and lazy.
Local radio ran a story that was then picked up by NPR about NY auctioning off all the gear provided to Cuomo in order to fight coof. Of course, none of thatmoney is being given back to the feds, it’s going into the
slush fundgeneral accounts!I know someone who works at SSA. Sleeping on the job does not get you fired there.
From my time working in government space, the only firings have been time-card fraud. You don’t have to work but you better record when you arrive and leave correctly.
I have a friend who is an air traffic controller. They have rooms to nap in if you have to pull a very long shift.
No napping..officially. Quiet rooms is the official term.
House Republicans say they will seek congressional testimony from top Twitter employees who oversaw the company’s handling of a New York Post report on Hunter Biden’s laptop in public hearings when Republicans officially reclaim control of the House in the next Congress, indicating that probes into digital content moderation will figure prominently.
As FORMER employees, they’ll be on the hook for their own legal representation, I hope.
“As FORMER employees, they’ll be on the hook for their own legal representation, I hope.”
So much for principles.
If this is related to their employment, then they should be indemnified. Period. No “the process is the punishment is OK when it happens to people I don’t like.”
TEAM BLUE would end up hauling everyone to the right of Pol Pot in front of hearings and break them all, and you would have to sit there and say “fair enough”.
I might be a bit more circumspect, but I agree.
OTH, please let me know if you have ever heard of a director actually incurring any kind of significant personal liability when convicted of malfeasance.
Personal liability for boards is a joke. After the D&O cover is exhausted everybody goes “oh well”.
But their interests diverge from their employment role and former employer. It would be one thing if this were a continuation of the old regime but I cannot see forcing current ownership to bankroll defending the very a ts that got these people canned.
If you believe the work you are doing for your employer is legal your employer, even if it has changed its mind after the fact, should pay for your defense.

Yeah the govt is full of commissions and panels and whatnot with all kinds of smaht people. They get paid and produce nothing useful.
“Road courses are measured with a Jones Counter, a device that attaches to the front wheel of a bicycle and records distances based on the revolutions of the bike’s wheel.”
While probably accurate enough for short races, I suspect there are many sources of error with this method. In particular the inflation and calibration of the tires, and obviously the exact course the rider takes.
My cheap bike computer is close enough to the GPS tracking (even over 50+ miles), that I’m not concerned about the accuracy. I can believe it’s closer then the GPS tracking, as I’ve seen a couple of times where the GPS tracking shows me taking a straight path between two points even though the road was curving through it (based on how frequently you set the GPS to poll).
You’re also not certifying the length of competition races. Not sure that comparing two inaccurate methods proves much.
In the method of counting revolutions, over a hundred miles you’re going to have approximately 72,000 revolutions (assuming 28″diameter tires). If your circumference is off by an eighth of an inch then your talking 750 feet of variance.
Coffee hasn’t kicked in yet, but if the tires deflated as the course was being measured, wouldn’t that lead to more revolutions and thus a “longer” measurement of the track? I would assume they measured the tires before and after to make sure it didn’t change.
They are supposed to, no idea if they do. With temperature changes it’s possible you would get a shorter distance rather than a longer one. Supposedly you can get ‘better than 1:1000’ accuracy with this method, but that’s still a pretty big error (up to 528 get in this case) assuming it’s not significantly better than 1:1000.
Global warming. What can’t it do?
What’s the difference between a Jones counter and a Johnson counter?
“A mom of five brushed off her daughter’s advice to not get her eyeballs tattooed due to potential blindness — and now, she’s losing her vision.
Anaya Peterson, a law student, was in awe of Australian model Amber Luke, who tattooed her eyeballs a vivid blue and went blind for three weeks after. Despite Luke getting her vision back, it seems that 32-year-old Peterson might lose her sight for good.
“I was just going to get one [eye tattoo] at first, because I thought that if I go blind, at least I’ve got the other eye. I should have stuck with that,” Peterson told Kennedy News. “My daughter told me that I didn’t want to do that [the tattoo] asking, ‘What if you go blind?’ She wasn’t on board with it at all.””

Prestigious Psych Journal Cans Editor for Soliciting Criticism of Black Psychologist
Klaus Fiedler, the editor in chief of Perspectives on Psychological Science, will be fired if he does not resign by deadline
https://freebeacon.com/campus/prestigious-psychology-journal-demands-editor-resign-for-soliciting-criticism-of-black-psychologist/
The editor, the prominent German psychologist Klaus Fiedler, stirred up controversy by agreeing to publish trenchant critiques of a 2020 article by Steven Roberts, a black psychologist at Stanford University, who had argued, among other things, that “color-blind leadership” promotes “structural inequality.”
That led to a petition, published December 2 and signed by over 1,000 psychologists, that called for Fielder’s dismissal and, shortly thereafter, to an email from Robert Gropp, the executive director of the Association for Psychological Science (APS), which publishes the journal, arguing that Fiedler had violated the journal’s “diversity and inclusion policies,” according to an email obtained by the Washington Free Beacon. Gropp demanded that Fiedler resign or, he said, “the APS will move forward with terminating your editorship.”
Two things: first I am uncertain what the word solicited is supposed to mean, he did not reach out and ask, criticism was submitted and he approved it. Second, I am, after all thius time, constantly shocked how sow many people have zero reason or principle involved in their actions, though I should not be.
A black academic can publish anything no matter how unrigorous, and scream racism at any criticism. This is no way to conduct an academic discipline. For me it is fantastic how these people want to destroy truth.
“In one exchange, Fiedler had suggested that Roberts remove a passage attacking one of his critics, Lee Jussim of Rutgers University, for quoting a line from Fiddler on the Roof: “There was the time he sold him a horse, but delivered a mule.” Roberts claimed that the line “parallels people of color with mules,” making it a “well-documented racist trope used to dehumanize people of color.” Jussim’s paper, which was reviewed by the Free Beacon, had used it as a metaphor for academics who promise diversity of all sorts but focus excessively on race.”
https://unsafescience.substack.com/p/notes-from-a-witch-hunt
this is from Lee Jussim
” Spring 2022:
Hommel submits a commentary critical of Roberts et al (2020) to PoPS.
Fiedler sends the commentary out for review. I am one of the reviewers.
After receiving the reviews, Fiedler accepts Hommels’ paper for publication, and requests commentaries on Hommel’s paper from two psychologists plus me.
We provided them, and each is accepted:
Fiedler, Stroebe and Hommel are all European. This is worth mentioning because it may be that many European academics do not share the sensibilities or values common among American academics and this could be relevant to understanding the entire affair.”
““There was the time he sold him a horse, but delivered a mule.” Roberts claimed that the line “parallels people of color with mules,” making it a “well-documented racist trope used to dehumanize people of color.””
What?
When you want to find some form of “ISM”, you will. Whether there is any of it or not.
40 acres and a mule has connections to black people and slavery in the US so close enough?
Therefore you cannot talk about mules.
Also, mixed race individuals are some times called mulattos, thus the word mule is racist anyway.
“Fiedler had violated the journal’s “diversity and inclusion policies,”
Lol. Science has violated our religion, and you must be sacrificed to appease our god.
He’s a hateful dead white male who marginalized someone in sure.
Suggested edit: “Science has violated our religion, and you must be sacrificed to appease our ANGRY AND VENGEFUL god.”

Taibbi presented evidence that suggested the effort to suppress the Post story was coordinated. But the reported records largely affirm existing accounts of the incident.

RHEEEEEE! ??
The communications reported by Taibbi showed Twitter employees acting cautiously by suppressing the Post article for fear of spreading what they believed could have been hacked materials, and internal debate over the best course of action. Taibbi also said he has found no evidence in the Twitter records of government involvement in the Hunter Biden story. To date, there has not been any indication the material behind the Post story was part of a Russian information operation.
Better safe than sorry. The Cartoon Villain might have been re-elected if voters had been made aware of the Biden family’s antics.
All together now: “at the time”…
WDATPDIM?
BAMN
Horseshit.
They knew what they really doing.
It is pure bullshit to suggest that Taibbi said there was no evidence of government involvement.
It’s from this tweet: https://twitter.com/mtaibbi/status/1598833927405215744
“Although several sources recalled hearing about a “general” warning from federal law enforcement that summer about possible foreign hacks, there’s no evidence – that I’ve seen – of any government involvement in the laptop story. In fact, that might have been the problem…”
Awaken with JP was walking through these tweets the other day.
The implication of Taibbi tweet is that Twitter has no legal cover of “the government told us to do this”. Thus, Twitter would have the sole liability for interfering directly in the election by suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop story.
But is there really any liability, as a private company?
Well, public company. But you know what I mean.
The “general warning” was highly specific and warned it would be aimed at Hunter Biden. The FBI knew exactly what was coming and aimed their warning to get ahead of the story. They didn’t need to send another warning when the Post wrote the story because the work was already done.
And Taibbi mentions that a number of Dems were sending angry letters to Twitter claiming that the issue was that they don’t censor *enough.*
Also, election “interference” is bullshit. There is no crime there, whether the entity be foreign or domestic. Anyone who remarks on an election in any capacity or does any sort of reporting is “interfering” in an election.
Yes, I agree. But Taibbi did say it, his words were not taken out of context or mischaracterized in the excerpt posted by Brooks.
Woohoo! I got a callback for an interview.
It’s the one with Operations/OpCon Administration, and have at least spoken to the hiring manager before.

German Prince Heinrich XIII Reuss of Greiz was arrested Wednesday morning along with at least 24 others suspected of planning a coup d’état in Germany
Now we’re getting somewhere.
Planning to restore the Kaiser?
That will be interesting. Notice the effort to pin it as “Right Wing.”
Everything they see as bad is “right wing”. Even the National Socialist German Worker’s Party.
Everything not at least a little left is right wing.
Would be a big improvement over the current government.
You know who else was arrested for planning a putsch? At least the Prince will have time in prison to write a book.
Yeah, maybe something about his struggles.
Ain’t seen something like this in a coon’s age.
Logan MacNamara’s home surveillance camera captured the scary moment her daughter, Rylee, was bitten. She told Storyful her daughter stepped outside to wait for the bus and the raccoon was sitting on the porch.
The video shows the raccoon quickly latch onto Rylee’s leg, who then screams and attempts to shake the animal off. MacNamara rushes to help her daughter, grabbing onto the animal by the scruff of its neck. She’s able to remove it, and at one point can be seen holding both the raccoon and her daughter. Once her daughter is inside she throws the animal into her yard where it can be seen waddling away.
That’s a rabies shot right there.
Randomly firing a gun puts her on the wrong side of it.
How do you know it was random? Maybe there was an iguana in that tree.

Work with IT to restrict their access without the employee realizing, set alarms if they stray, and tightly control what they are allowed to work on.
Yep, sounds like what happened here. This guy was kept under observation and given enough rope to publicly hang himself.
Covering up the cover up is never a winning strategy.

This is the real joke here.
Taking your firearms safety cues from Alex Baldwin is almost as bad as taking his defense strategy
So, he may have been drunk or something, and correspondingly really wasn’t all there. I’d actually call this the most-likely case. Remorse, etc.
On the “sus” side, though, and not exactly related: One position I’ve maintained ever since reaching adulthood is that any time you hear of a death where somebody “accidentally shot and killed so-and-so while cleaning a gun”, you should 90% assume it was actually a murder. Yes, there are a few stupid cases out there where it’s possibly the real story. But I really think it’s almost always a murder. The situation can certainly be set up to look exactly like the cleaning-related accident/manslaughter, and there’s enough history proving that that’s what the court’s going to say (and pretty much HAS to), that all the incentives are lined up right.
Not exactly this case, like I said, but made me think about it. So whenever you hear “gun-cleaning accident”, think murder instead.
I thought that was an established euphemism for suicide?
He’s a cop. They start with manslaughter and plea down to reckless endangerment or assault and battery.
That way he gets an ankle bracelet for 90 days and 5 years probation. Of course losing his badge is the great tragedy.
Oh I know that’s the deal in this case.
I’m talking about the standard guy who shoots his wife dead while cleaning his gun in the kitchen one night. Those aren’t accidents.
In other news that is German to European food production:
“Germany bans farmers from properly fertilising land to serve EU green agenda,” declares Breitbart.com. “As of Thursday, the use of nitrate fertilisers has been greatly restricted for large swathes of farmland in North Rhine-Westphalia,” the site reports, referring to one of the most abundant food production areas in Germany.
The ban originates with EU bureaucrats waging war on nitrogen, the essential element that makes up nearly 80% of Earth’s atmosphere and is critical for crop production. After having declared war on carbon — the building block of biological life — globalists are now targeting nitrogen as a means to deliberately engineer widespread famine and mass death (depopulation).
It’s like someone wants to orchestrate a famine.
I recently took a seminar where it was suggested nitrogen does approximately zero damage to the environment since nitrogen fixing species will take over if that’s the limiting factor rather than phosphorus. Not sure I 100% buy it, but it may not be as bad as made out to be.
TRUMP LOSES
Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock will win Georgia’s Senate runoff, CNN projects, giving Democrats greater leverage in the Senate next year and delivering a critical blow to former President Donald Trump after a defeat of yet another one of his hand-picked candidates.
With Warnock’s defeat of Republican challenger Herschel Walker, Democrats will control 51 seats to the GOP’s 49.
The race closes out a difficult midterm cycle for Republicans – who won the House majority but saw their hopes for Capitol Hill dominance dashed by the troubled candidacies of some Trump-backed Senate nominees.
It doesn’t matter what or who is elected as long as we can spin it as a thumb in the eye for Former President Cartoon Villain.
I wonder how those staunchly principled independents Bernie Sanders and Angus King feel, when they see themselves described as hapless puppets of the Democratic Party by CNN.
Let me see – Dems control Senate (the anti-democratic body) and Repubs the House (the legislative body of the people). This is how we save democracy!
CATO had Emily Eakins on one of their Daily Podcasts a few weeks back. She’s pretty much a polling stats person without making political interpretations. The early data suggested that R candidates who promoted the 2020 steal narrative were less likely to be supported than those who didn’t. The other, fairly interesting thing given that it bucks normal trends, is that there were a significant number of Republican voters who wanted to see Republicans control the Senate but did NOT support their local R candidate.

In Brasilía, indigenous tribes who occupied the airport and a mall on the weekend, found the hotel where “Lula the Thief” is staying and converged on the hotel, “making the ground tremble”, reports Journal de Cidade: “Indigenous people of the Xavante, Enawene Nawe and Kaiapó tribes protested outside the hotel, chanting that Lula would never become president. The Indians once protected by the left now turn against those who bewitched them.”
Lula’s security team were forced to beef up security around the hotel where the “president-elect” is staying , O Antagonista reports, and barriers were installed to keep away the protestors. Indios are angry because there were allegedly zero votes for Bolsonaro from their territories in the fraudulent no-paper, all-digital elections. Indios support President Bolsonaro because he protects them against radical “climate activists” who want to force them to return to the Stone Age.

“Is this a 1A violation, or does the court have a right to impose attorney-client privilege on a former attorney?”
Not a legal mind, but this does seem like one of those things that out to be legal, but comes with professional consequences, ie disbarment. On the other hand, there is plenty of precedence for 1A violations regarding notifying jurors of nullification outside of a court house. Judges act like petty tyrants in their tiny kingdoms.
The privilege belongs to the client, not to the attorney. It is a legal obligation of the attorney intended to protect the client’s Constitutionally guaranteed rights to counsel, and against self incrimination. It is absolutely reasonable and legal to use the Courts to enforce the obligation of the attorney to keep confidential client disclosures confidential. The lawyer’s first amendment rights don’t enter into this anymore than they enter into a case where someone seeks an injunction to enforce a non-disclosure agreement. The attorney accepted the duty to keep the communications confidential when the attorney agreed to represent Peterson. The attorney is not being silenced by the court, the court is simply enforcing the attorney’s voluntarily accepted obligation to not disclose someone else’s confidential information.
That makes sense, thanks. I’m assuming that requirement continues even after the lawyer no longer represents the client?
Yes, the duty continues

Stacey Abrams’s New Georgia Project is collecting donations without a license in at least nine states, opening itself up to fines and criminal inquiries, a Washington Free Beacon investigation found.
State laws across the country prohibit charities that have not filed required financial disclosures with the IRS from soliciting donations. But the New Georgia Project, which missed the Nov. 15 deadline to file its Form 990, is still raising money through a nationwide campaign hosted by the online fundraising platform ActBlue. Representatives at the relevant agencies in Tennessee, Mississippi, and North Carolina, where the New Georgia Project’s charity license has expired, told the Free Beacon that the group could face fines ranging from $25 dollars to $25,000 for violating their state’s charity laws. Some of those fines could be issued for each donation the group accepts.
According to Paul Kamenar, an attorney with the National Legal and Policy Center, the group could soon face more trouble.

I’ve been taking ibuprofen for my knee, which I shouldn’t do because of the ulcers I just got removed. However, my tinnitus ALSO worsens with ingestion of NSAIDs (and to a lesser extent, Tylenol). I read once where a man had tinnitus so badly he wanted to kill himself, so this is not good. However, my knee hurts and ibuprofen is the only thing that cuts it. Yes, I’ve already had a shot.
‘Grats, UCS, and good luck!
Elon putting beds at Twitter. Man, what I wouldn’t have given for a midafternoon cat nap when I was in the corporate work-a-day world. Don’t seem to need one working at home. Funny that.
However, my knee hurts and ibuprofen is the only thing that cuts it. Yes, I’ve already had a shot. – strange that ibuprofen works better than morphine but if it woks it is good.
In Romania the goto painkiller was algocalmin until it was made prescription only due to some bullshit. Also it was insanely good for lowering fever
It’s totally banned in the U.S. and Canada, but OTC in Mexico.
Not morphine. I got a steroid shot. Reduces inflammation and kills the pain. Supposed to be long-term (like, months), but only lasted a week in this case. I have some toradol, but then I’d have to get another prescription when that runs out. The amount of oxycodone in my house is unreal.
Also, morphine does not work on me at all, in any form, for any reason, ever. With regard to being in the hospital, Dilaudid makes me puke. Fentanyl works, but of course, that’s only short-term. Also, in the hospital, when they give you the pain button, where you press it when you need another boost, I’ve had it taken away from me because I wasn’t using it. But of course, I’m a redhead and my pain tolerance is high. That redhead shit’s real, yo.
“However, my tinnitus ALSO worsens with ingestion of NSAIDs ”
Be careful, I could barely hear for months after taking an NSAID.
“However, my knee hurts and ibuprofen is the only thing that cuts it. ”

When I was young I remember being asked by someone if we were committing suicide letting the left tell everyone that free speech guaranteed they could spout anti-American marxist shit they wanted while also demanding legal representation because they would never return the favor, and thinking the person asking the question was an idiot.

From the links:
Supporters of the theory, which has never been endorsed by the Supreme Court, say the language supports the notion that, when it comes to federal election rules, legislatures have ultimate power under state law, potentially irrespective of potential constraints imposed by state constitutions.
The state legislatures don’t have ultimate power to set Congressional election rules as Article I, Section IV, Clause I says Congress can override the states on Congressional elections. Despite that, I actually think they should be limited by their respective state constitutions.
As first reported by Forbes Monday, Musk has converted rooms in the tech company’s headquarters into aesthetically odd and utterly dystopian bedrooms, decorated with neon orange carpeting, “drab” curtains and those giant teleconference monitors installed in every conference room — giving the bedrooms the feel of constantly being monitored.

The Sicknick family members walked by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., during a ceremony on Tuesday recognizing hundreds of officers who were at the Capitol on Jan. 6.
McConnell had his hand outstretched, but Sicknick’s family ignored his gesture. They told NBC News after the event that passing on the opportunity to shake the GOP leaders’ hands was not a mistake.

Experts say don’t do it
China’s zero-Covid policy, which stalled the world’s second-largest economy and sparked a wave of unprecedented protests, is now being dismantled as Beijing on Wednesday released sweeping revisions to its draconian measures that ultimately failed to bring the virus to heel.
The new guidelines keep some restrictions in place but largely scrap the health QR code that has been mandatory for entering most public places and roll back mass testing. They also allow some Covid-19 cases and close contacts to skip centralized quarantine.
——-
Experts say though much is still unknown about how the next weeks and months will progress, China has fallen short on preparations like bolstering the elderly vaccination rate, upping surge and intensive care capacity in hospitals, and stockpiling antiviral medications.
While the Omicron variant is milder than previous strains and China’s overall vaccination rate is high, even a small number of severe cases among vulnerable and under-vaccinated groups like the elderly could overwhelm hospitals if infections spike across the country of 1.4 billion, experts say.
“This is a looming crisis – the timing is really bad … China now has to relax much of its measures during the winter (overlapping with flu season), so that was not as planned,” said Xi Chen, an associate professor at the Yale School of Public Health in the United States, pointing to what was likely an acceleration in China’s transition, triggered by public discontent.

Modeling from researchers at Shanghai’s Fudan University published in the journal Nature Medicine in May projected that more than 1.5 million Chinese could die within six months if Covid-19 restrictions were lifted and there was no access to antiviral drugs, which have been approved in China.
However, death rates could fall to around the levels of seasonal flu, if almost all elderly people were vaccinated and antiviral medications were broadly used, the authors said.
Our best guess: maybe, maybe not.
