“There should be a search warrant [for Charlie Kirk’s killer], very likely in the federal court system. Given our understanding of how dockets work in 94 districts & willingness to spend our evenings going fishing in PACER, we were uniquely positioned to find it” www.courtwatch.news/p/144-right-...

The new PACER hack means new standing orders in 94 district require paper filings but don’t require clerks to file electronically when the documents are eventually unsealed. So they’re lost forever to the public. This is bad for democracy. Congress & the Courts should fix this.

That awkward moment when you’re writing a lede making fun of Benson Boone while secretly rocking out to Benson Boone album.

The point of the extreme true crime community adherent who commits violence is to shitpost their way through every grievance possible so as to get as many people to pay attention and sow discord within society. The disparate grievances are a feature, not a bug.
