This is the entire reason I was interested in this trial. It not only exposed the corruption found in many LE orgs, but the inherent bias surrounding cash bail and how justice is only for those with money, honestly.

I’ve been chatting with a woman at the bar at a restaurant next to my hotel. We had a lovely time! Meanwhile, her husband was blowing her up thinking she was talking with men. So he FaceTimes her and I pop in and wave and he gets madder. The “male loneliness epidemic” is self-inflicted.

Yet another excellent article I wish @swin24.bsky.social didn't have to write. I cannot wrap my head around *wanting* to preside over a police state. I just can't.

Ah, Covington, where an officer has had 5 §1983 lawsuits filed against him since 2021 out of a total 11 filed against the City. CovPD has 100 sworn officers. Across the river, Cincinnati PD has been named in 10 §1983 suits since 2021 across about 1000 sworn officers, none named in multiple suits.

Being moderately tech literate and saying “You could use an API..” in my ediscovery class apparently made me a comparative CTO to most.

Making a list of all the vaccines I want to get once my insurance kicks in and before we can’t get them at all. Wow. That is one of the bleakest social media posts I’ve ever made and that’s saying something.
