Federal whistleblower suits are a hyper-specialized area of the law. I wonder if his lawyer was up to the work. I wondered about his lawyer as well, it seemed like if he was officially under the whistleblower protection how the heck did this end up happening to him. I also attribute part of it to t...

Not sure if this is the correct thread. Do we have one for "nice-looking next-door mainstream rightwingers behaving badly"? https://balloon-juice.com/2024/09/16/new-hampshire-school-system-says-hold-my-beer/ From the Balloon Juice blog, reformatted and lightly edited. New Hampshire School ...

Photo released today. This piece of the Titan submersible was found 1600 feet from the bow of the Titanic. :snippity: So are they planning Tourist Submarines to visit the Tourist Submarine? I think that would be a hard pass. They pulled the pictured piece out of the water along with the end caps, r...

The Independent is posting detailed summaries of testimony. I found the website a little jittery; there are at least 4 web pages of summaries, and it's a little tedious to scroll back to the beginning navigating the wealth of sometimes repetitive information is awkward and tedious. Worth the effort,...

They're trying to spread rumors of an affair to cover up that Loomer is now Trump's campaign advisor

Yabut, Trump is a brilliant strategist, don't you know. Maybe he knows something we don't know, maybe Loomer has the key to success. Is it time to panic? :panic: :panic: :panic: :panic: :panic: :panic: :panic: :panic: :panic: :panic: Where is Luke aka orly_licious with our emergency plans!?!?!?

The purported reply provided a bit of a cheap thrill, but IMO it was neither classy nor smart. So glad to know it is a fake.

Last night I saw some twitter chatter to the effect that Matt Gaetz, Tulsi Gabbard, and Laura Loomer had participated in preparing Trump for the debate. :o :lol: I remarked to my partner that I couldn't really believe that wacky Loomer had such a senior role. :fingerwag: Laura Loomer appears to be T...

I was a guest at a wedding at the Wayfarers Chapel, decades ago. Extraordinary place.

So why didn't she call the police? It's best to bypass the middleman when you have an emergency. Calling the school first would be cutting out the middleman. Interesting question, but it's not clear to me that either option is obviously the better one. I wouldn't fault her for the choice she made.

Does anyone have a favorite free tide app for iPhones? I have two requirements: simple, and ability to provide tide information without an internet connection. I've been using the free version of Tides Near Me, and it's OK, but while our coastal town's internet service is reasonably adequate, about...

This video seems to be about the federal January 6th prosecution. Does it have anything to do with the New York prosecution? And if anyone has the patience to listen to it, I'd be grateful to learn what the magic "one sentence" in the joint status report is. The magic sentence is Smith sa...

Judge Chin is a good judge, brave and caring. Don't know about the other two but they were appointed by Obama and Biden.
