Going on a multi-page screed about George Soros in a case where he's not at all a party is... not great, Jerry. And, yes, people are absolutely going to point out that you're behavior is well beyond what's proper for a federal judge. This is not an effective way to get ahead of that criticism.

OK, I can't find a good GIF version, so you'll just have to imagine Jackson Bentley stumbling into the aftermath of Lawrence of Arabia's attack on the Turkish column saying "Jesus wept"

Brilliant logic there, Bill. "BlueSky is a bubble full of moderates who don't know what the really extreme left, who are actually in charge of governments, are doing"

Presumably for Australia the marsupials entry takes up the whole first half of the volume

Trouble with calling this out as a double standard is that Kelly et al. can turn it around. “Why do people believe children can consent to gender affirming care but not sex with grown men?” These are two very different things. It’s not a good comparison.

No Americans on this episode or they'd have pretty quickly arrived at the right answer. @toobigtofail.bsky.social

Because I figure all of my followers deserve a good laugh. Texas is apparently now part of the Greater Antilles.

He was arrested and charged with 10 counts of unlawful distribution of sexually explicit AI images under LA Rev Stat § 14:73.14, but I guess you can also call that "nothing" if you want to farm more outraged responses to your skeet...

I bet this is part of the reason trust and safety is twitchy about “threats” right now. Probably tired of dealing with the Feds on cases like this.

They're back with an actual indictment on this case and it's... pretty damn weak. That's it. One count of 18 USC 875(c)

Megyn Kelly supports NAMBLA.

No further details right now, but from a main local ICE-reporting org.

Maybe a different choice of theming would have been appropriate this year, friends?

You're all familiar with strenuous objections, but what about "adamantly overruling?"

Mansplaining hearsay to @kathryntewson.bsky.social...

Sounds like @kenchengceo.bsky.social made a good choice when turning down the "how many of you have a VPN" career in the latest Board Game League.

@akivamcohen.bsky.social, would you be interested in the DOJ guy prosecuting this clearly protected speech under a patently ridiculous theory?

TIL I apparently shouldn't be familiar with the Annunaki. "Done my research." These fucking people.

Pretty sure this is heresy under every remaining strain of Christianity, trinitarian or not. Certainly 99% of them if not.

When a SENATOR and PHYSICIAN displays the same level of understanding of insurance as a 20-year old Redditor. "I never got in an accident, the insurance company should have to pay me back all my premiums"

And in a completely unsurprising turn of events, Brian's rage-baiting post was completely irrelevant and did nothing but serve to get thousands of people upset so he could drive engagement.

Broke out a classic for last night’s group.

Rowing across a river, riding an unfamiliar horse, birthing a baby, then defending yourself with fists and sword from the newborn child. The skills necessary for the modern officer.

Anyone else notice the lychgate symbolism in the new Frankenstein?

And another 1983 suit filed the same day by a different teacher, both by the same firm. There were three teachers all fired at the same time over Charlie Kirk related social media posts. Wonder if we'll see a third suit anytime soon.

You remember when Scrooge actually evolves beyond "If they would rather die they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population?” Apparently Nathan never got the message.

How wonderfully alliterative. "Collaborationist Cornell"

okay, so, i'm in big trouble 😰 i'm going to lose my room if i do not pay the rent by tonight. please help me to get to $710 - no matter how small the contribution 🙏🏽 remember that i'm literally staying here by grace bc i've been evicted twice so its difficult to find anyone willing to let to me

Isn't that "suicidal empathy" one of the internalized values of the civilization? Shouldn't it, turned loose in this pond of civilization level social Darwinism, have to sink or swim on its own merits? Why is Musk trying to intervene?

The wrapper didn't split, So they did acquit.

@enriquebedlam.bsky.social, when I come over to visit you have to make sure to take me to Little Johannesburg.

One of the most satisfying workdays you can have. Judge described my argument as "novel" AND said that it actually turned him around on the case. Completely favorable result for the client.

1983 suit against the local school board superintendent by a teacher fired over her post-Kirk Facebook posts.

Thanks to @kalendae-arum.bsky.social for spotting this. @akivamcohen.bsky.social @questauthority.bsky.social @kathryntewson.bsky.social three guesses at who she's hired for this.

Don't let AI do your thinking for you, people...

Visiting office doggo/gremlin.

Wishful thinking. It really doesn't look like that. The battery/control pack on a life vest is significantly larger than that.

@kenwhite.bsky.social, this seems to be the new trick DOJ is trying to go after people for social media speech, charging under 18 USC 373 for statements advocating violence . I found a very similar case in EDVA where they tried for 871, got dismissed, and superseded with 373. Just acquitted Tuesday.

Can't say this seems like the best choice of responses while being interviewed by the cops, but definitely got to admit the man's got style.

ICE link no longer works. Looks like they've moved entirely to the DHS site.

ICE has released their statement. Another BlueSkyer who appears to be learning that the feds currently have the power to massively overreact to things you say online. Most all of the statements they list don't look like they're true threats though, and certainly not incitement.

We had a big, show up in an armored car and use the ram to smash down your front door style raid in town yesterday to arrest a retired 72 year old lawyer who supposedly made social media threats against ICE. Can't find any evidence on PACER yet.

Oh no!

If only we had some old union wisdom to turn to on this… That if you don't let red-baiting break you up And if you don't let stoolpigeons break you up And if you don't let vigilantes break you up And if you don't let race hatred break you up You'll win. What I mean, take it easy, but take it!

I believe what they meant to say is that St. Elsewhere star William Daniels, 98, blasts Trump over White House teardown.
