"FELIX: Pete Buttigieg asked us PERSONALLY to reach out to you because he is concerned your membership in the DCCNC will EXPIRE at midnight and everyone will know you are a Trump supporter" no he didn't, my what now, why are you talking to me like you hope i might be senile

every time I open my email I have to skim past two to four communications addressed to my first name personally, from what is or at least appears to be an organ of the democratic party, and immediately and instinctively dismiss them as just bullshit. is it good that are they training me to do that

I cannot believe it is good for the party that most of the direct communications most people get from the party, or from outfits holding themselves out as acting for the party, are obvious lies in the style of "your auto insurance is about to lapse unless you send us your bank details NOW" scams

he wrote the majority opinion in bostock too. he's solidly bad don't get me wrong but he cannot completely be modeled by "will always do the nastiest thing possible in the nastiest way possible", unlike alito

there's no reason in principle why you couldn't be in an infinite number of meetings at once, like sticking your head inside the Aleph, but for meetings

imagine being in so many meetings at once that your AIs have to hold separate meetings to keep track of how many meetings you're in. sounds great right

otherwise it was just pointless and annoying, a dumb thing you had to scroll past to get what you were looking for

Miller devised it as homage to John Martin’s “Destruction of Pompeii and Herculaneum”! Martin was the blockbuster spectacle guy of the early 1800s

this does make sense, I think, they could coherently have said that all of them were false but he was only personally responsible for the 20 or so he personally signed bsky.app/profile/flgl...

oh juries are 100% capable of reaching split-the-baby verdicts that don't really make sense, even in far less politically charged cases than this. i was just wondering if there was any logical basis for doing that (turns out there was though)

what they want is to place all the risk of uncertain judgment calls and complex factual circumstances on doctors and their employers and insurance carriers and etc. we made the law, you guys figure out how to make it work. but hospitals can't work that way

ah that makes sense. so they could have found all of them false but that he personally was only responsible for some of them bsky.app/profile/bche...

My understanding is (and my guess is that this is what the third note was really about) is that some of the checks were signed directly by Trump and those were tied to 24 of the counts and 10 of the counts were tied to checks that Trump didn’t sign.
