Judge asks: Are American jailers, who are astoundingly incompetent and cruel whenever we happen to be watching, also that way when we aren't? x.com/KaelanDC/sta...

Here's Judge deGravelles's opinion and order prohibiting for 14 days the elimination of the position of Criminal Clerk of Court in Orleans parish, to which ex-prisoner Calvin Duncan was recently elected to a four-year term starting Monday. (49 pages) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Looks like 1st contested hearing in the Cole Tomas Allen (WHCD crasher) case will happen at Noon tomorrow. Judge Faruqui wants a jail official to personally appear and explain the solitary confinement bullshit. Probably also wondering about the earlier Hannibal Lecter bullshit. @joshuajfriedman.com

Antonio De Lima Junior, a fisher in Brazil, captured some awesome footage of spider monkeys creating a "body" bridge in the canopy to help others pass www.tiktok.com/@antoniojunior146/video/7626732564660669704

And this order seems to have been granted completely ex parte. There isn't even a certificate of service on file. I also see no indication that petitioner was requesting same-day or any kind of urgent relief. First time I've seen a judge totally out-MAGA the MAGA DOJ.

In case you were worried that the viral post with public-speaking tips from 19th-century coke-fiend Sigmund Freud was fake, I'm quite happy to report that it's legit.

Can't stand this horrendous obliviousness to dimensional analysis. What the debt exceeds is one year of production. The debt (in dollars) is always exactly equal to "the size of the economy" (in dollars/time) for some quantity of time. www.wsj.com/economy/u-s-...

aw yeah, that's the good shit

Govt has responded to Allen's evidence request, and for the first time says that they found a possible fragment of a buckshot pellet shot by Allen. Also reassert that Officer V.G. "was indeed shot once in the chest" but still don't claim that Allen shot him. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

He's adopting 60 Minutes's strategy of asking the United States to confirm on the record that the "pedophile, rapist, and traitor" is obviously Trump.

DC jail is using Hannibal Lecter protocols for Cole Tomas Allen. The warden definitely thinks this site has the juice. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Cole Tomas Allen's Brady request seeks info about the shooting of Secret Service Officer V.G.. Also suggests he may seek to disqualify Jeanine Pirro from the case because she was an alleged target. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Ah yes, Calend Greg, that guy who comes to every party and just talks about calendars the whole time.

Prosecution has officially confirmed that every single bullet shot by the Secret Service agent missed Allen, so it makes sense Blitzer thought he was firing randomly. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

So it's basically confirmed now that the guy Wolf Blitzer said was "shooting just randomly" was a cop?

Here's some Federal Register Enjoyer content for my new followers.

Good series of replies here, we love a Federal Register Enjoyer. This is why I said “if”. I look forward to the day nobody gets behind the wheel of a multi-ton killing machine without being physiologically prepared for that responsibility. We might not be there yet tho!

Ah, here’s NTSA’s February 2026 report to congress saying the regulation is still indefinitely delayed for the very good reason that of course the technology doesn’t fucking work. www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa....

The timeline in this article makes no sense, and its link to the rule goes to a completely different regulation. Best I can tell, there's been no movement on the impairment surveillance regulation since Jan. 2024 and at this point there's no way it would go into effect before model year 2030.

I'm perplexed. If the consideration of the stay motion has been consolidated with the merits, and the administrative stay therefore lasts until the merits decision, then haven't they granted the entirety of the relief requested in the stay motion? ....

Go, and I cannot stress this enough, off. There is NO EXCUSE for an attorney to be doing this shit.

Technically, the judge gave the government an easier task than usual: rather than showing they aren’t violating her injunction, they need only show they’re not blatantly violating it. My expert judgment, informed by decades of experience, is nonetheless that the inclusion of “blatant” is not good.

Yup, this vague "more than half of experienced orthopedic surgeons" is even more unsettling than the old "four out of five dentists". www.cambridge.org/core/service...

Kind of weird that the L.A. Times article only talks about private celebrations being cancelled, without mentioning that Chavez Day is an official state holiday. So lots of stuff is still going to be closed while everyone is not celebrating. bsky.app/profile/oakl...

Excellent live-tweeting thread here about the E.D.N.C U.S. Attorney's office's AI-assisted fraud in their briefs. Things are going great for the two AUSA's in court today, at least one of whom has been lying to the judge's face. bsky.app/profile/rand...

If you don't pass laws like this you'll get people one simple tricking their way around UPL and other professional requirements claiming that it's the magic software and not them. It's pretty straightforward statutory consumer fraud and it doesn't become censorship because software is involved.

They should probably expand D.C. Cir. Rule 42 to cover other vulnerable, unsophisticated parties, like POTUS. www.cadc.uscourts.gov/sites/cadc/f...

@michaeljaylissner.com I keep getting messages like this when "too many" was three documents and "block of time" was 24 hours, which seems extremely paltry for a project that "seeks to provide free access". Are you really limiting IPs that retrieved fewer than a dozen docs in the last day? ...

When I miraculously catch the last bus to the no-loads-refused event.

"the powers of this world" is such a great phrase here, acknowledging their fearsome lethal power while simultaneously dissing how transient and pitiful it is compared to the real power.

As a kid in the 80s, I thought it was an interesting loophole that you can put any person X's address as the return address, a bogus address as the addressee, and get the post office to "return" a letter to X, much to X's surprise. Testing this out may have been my first federal crime.

Yeah, "time broke" is one of those things that sounds worse than it is. (But I'm still mad that the International Earth Rotation Service changed its name to be less funny, because I loved the idea that if they had an outage we would all slam into the nearest wall.) web.archive.org/web/20030122...

This claim is quite hyperbolic. Lynching was always a state crime and has long been a federal crime too. All the 2022 act did was increase the sentencing for some things that were already federal crimes. That is, it was congress pushing the "increase incarceration" button it uses for everything.
