Coming 'round the curve it's...: https://twitter.com/LarryEKlayman/status/1294831809432297472 I may (and did) mock Larry's capitalization. But I think there's a decent chance that the Tweet has all those capital letters because it's cut-and-paste from the section heading in a complaint he's draftin...

I guess I must have offended Voeltz a tiny bit. My bad.

Well, on the bright side I've got more twitter followers now than I did during the Obama birther years. On the down side, I've got more twitter followers now than I did during the Obama birther years.

Or the Law of Goats.

I think Josh Hammer's decision to publish Eastman's article* stirred things up enough to make litigation much more likely. *Based on Hammer's twitter bio, Hammer is a former Claremont Institute alum. He did not disclose that Eastman is a former coworker - or, more likely, boss - anywhere that I've s...

Klayman will sue - it's what he lives for.

But I'll take Voeltz.

*sigh*

Time really is a flat circle.

Michael Cohen is the Mayor of Dumbfuckopolis.

(Avenatti is Comptroller.)

I think Duckworth would make an outstanding VP, but I do think there's more of an issue there than with other candidates. She and Cruz are in the same position as far as I'm concerned. Because of the way the laws were written at the time of their births, while they acquired citizenship at birth, tha...

I'm a bit behind in the thread - missed the first dozen or so pages, so apologies if this has been posted already - Greg Doucette has a twitter thread collating police brutality videos (and some related things) over the past week. The thread has gotten so long that it's broken the twitter threading,...

Dorsey might not be a genius, but as far as I know he's never bankrupted his own casino.

Yeah, if Trump's EO had been an anodyne statement that the CDA should not be viewed as covering editorial content, that would have been neutral enough to make his point while giving Twitter room to back off from moderating his tweets. The over-the-top EO, which went after a specific Twitter employee...

Oh, the position being staked out on 230 is absolutely and completely inconsistent with their position on net neutrality.

I respectfully dissent.

Legally, it's toothless. Politically, provision after provision are timed to provide additional talking points through the election runup. The intent is both to stir the base and to ensure that the social media companies don't push back on outrageous claims.

Legally, I think it's mostly meaningless, but getting to that conclusion may be expensive for the socials - especially if Barr decides to try to bring some deceptive practices actions.

As a further shattering of the norms of governance, it's pretty dramatic. Even by Trumpian standards.

Does Tucker Carlson remind anyone else of a constipated groundhog?

-the rules here are arbitrary & unevenly enforced

It's been like that from the beginning. There are members and members.

Haven't you only been a member of this forum since like September?

Well said, I couldn't agree more. There's an XKCD strip - the free speech one - that seems kind of apropos. Nobody has stopped you from joining. If you didn't get the kind of reception you wanted, well, maybe when everyone is tuning you out, it's a problem with all of us. Or maybe the common elemen...

Just think of all the problems we could solve if only there was a way to productively channel the ignorance, pettiness, and mindless vindictiveness driving this litigation.

Luckily for potential clients everywhere the courts are pretty much closed. The courts need not be open for him to separate a client from his or her money. He still has a license to practice. Is he back on Twitter? If he's back on Twitter, he'll be going back to the lockup in short order - I saw th...

Sorry, all - I forgot what time zone I live in.

Where the FUCK is Joe Biden? He should be banging on about Obamacare not being re-opened. About the Trump Administration still trying to kill Obamacare. About the lack of a federal response. About Jared Kushner's idiocy. There is so much. Where the hell is he? I think Joe is doing one of the hardes...

https://twitter.com/scottjshapiro/status/1245443250414071810 The first thing that popped into my head when I saw that DeSantis had said that was "privileges and immunities clause, anyone?" No, I tell a lie. The first thing that popped into my mind was "fuck you, DeSantis, you asshole." The second t...

I'm pretty thoroughly exhausted. Still trying to put my routines back together after getting my ass out of the UK on March 16th, which was, by my rough approximation, 3 years ago. Took a 3-day weekend from the PhD work, which means that I worked on 3 fewer days than normal. (Normal = 5 full days, pl...
