The picture used in this story regarding anti-monarchy posters is of my local bus stop, 30 seconds from my house…I played no part in its creation, but it’s good to see my views represented in a public space.

@w7voa Ginni Thomas is insane (she still believes that the 2020 election was stolen from Trump). Intelligent people don't pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to insane people (corrupt people do). Bribe a Supreme Court Justice by funneling money to his insane wife.

@Sam We have to to all we can to build a greater Dem majority in the Senate, keep the WH in Dem hands, try to recapture the House. We have to pressure Dems in Congress to take action, including by supporting impeachment of corrupt Justices. Ultimately, we need to get rid of lifetime appointments to the Court, enlarge the bench, and convince the Court to require a supermajority to reach a judgement.

@TIME
We should have never gone into Iraq the second time, the first was okay for the same reason we're providing so much military support to #Ukraine imo, but since we did (because GOP stole 2000 election) we should have corrected WWII error and formed a Kurdistan as a focus of the mission imo too.
Just think how much better it would be if we had the bases in that region in a country we could trust as much as we do Germany. Anyways I think that would make the world a safer place personally.
And yet, somehow, we also have a majority of elected Dems who think those things are wrong but don't want to piss off the people who think they're cool. So they don't want to seem too harsh on judges who take bribes or killers who choke homeless people to death.
With news breaking about conservative activist Leonard Leo funneling money to Ginni Thomas, I decided to post the lecture notes I prepared for the keynote address I delivered today to an Ontario Bar Association conference: The U.S. Supreme Court's Turn Toward Judicial Tyranny 1/ (short thread) https://www.notesfromcalicomanor.com/2023/05/04/the-u-s-supreme-courts-turn-toward-tyranny/ #ClarenceThomas #USsupremeCourt #lawFedi
@Tilopa
The DOJ prosecutors recommended a 7-9 yr sentence for Stone because the death threats to Randy Credico was part of a 2 YEAR CAMPAIGN to threaten him. In Feb 2020 @PreetBharara @AnneMilgram explained why the justice system increases punishment for witness intimidation.
Stone was convicted of #WitnessTampering but #Trump pardoned #rogerstone

Hey #CNN: only stupid people want to see a rugby scrum on a news program. For the rest of us—who also have the most disposable income—get the fucking Right-wing, neo-Nazis and pathological liars off the air!!
Once again Ted Chiang has it exactly right. The immediate danger from #AI is not that it will become sentient and do whatever it wants. The danger is that it will do exactly what it’s being designed to do: help rich corporations destroy the working class in pursuit of ever-greater profits and thus concentrate wealth in fewer and fewer hands.

My employer, Shopify, announced layoffs today and I've been affected. If you're looking for someone with deep experience with developer tooling and developer environments, I'd love to work with you. I've spent the last two years building Shopify's in-house cloud developer environment, and I have extensive experience building developer tools as one of members of the Homebrew package manager's Project Leadership Committee.
Mostly reclusive and carrying slightly damaged goods. A survivor by some accounts. Definitely in need of much therapy. ;)
Staunchly anti-fascist
Bear in mind that, while I may "like" your "toot", about a person, event or particular topic, if it links to the "bird-site" I will no longer boost and inadvertently contribute to their grift. Everyone has a choice and a part to play when crimes go unpunished.
