Compare it to other social media platforms and their value per MAU and it’s “not hard to imagine shares being worth well below $1.”
Damn typos! Surely the author mistyped $ for ¢?

State of New York vs Trump, et al - the civil fraud case against the Trump Organization

Wouldn't an equitable and practical solution be to suggest that the insurance company put appropriate funds into the court's escrow account? If the company does that, fine. If not, either unwilling or unable, then they were acting in bad faith. I appreciate that that is effectively skipping the whol...

"Waahh!! I've done so many crimes it's really difficult to fit in all the court appearances!"

Hmm. Not convinced that gripe draws buckets of sympathy from the well of human kindness.

If you can't do the court time, don't do the white collar crime.

My KJV is a beautifully written work of art. Indeed it has some majestic and sonorous prose, which I believe was a stated aim of the translation project.

The court could employ Trump's expertise in infectious disease management as demonstrated in 2020. Sit him down, give him a handful of ivermectin worming tablets and a cup of bleach, followed by an ultraviolet lamp down the throat. Off we go! "Now Mr. Trump, are you ready to proceed?" &quo...

I like the way Judge Merchan politely points out that it stinks for Trump to complain about publicity when he enthusiastically generated much of it himself, often immediately outside the courthouse.

Thanks Andy. I'd forgotten about the Rodney King assault being around the same time. I can't remember a slogan used by anti-apartheid campaigners protesting against international competitions involving whites-only South Africa teams around the 1980s. It was something like "no fair sport in an u...

Thanks for that p0rtia. Did you read his book, the one called How I Didn't Do It , or something like that? My impression from afar was always that Simpson was the killer. Recent revelations support that too, circumstantially at least. I wonder how I'd have felt though as a juror from an oppressed se...

Orenthal James Simpson 1947 - 2024. Was he a murderer?

I didn't follow the evidence, just saw some of the international coverage of the trial. What struck me most was hearing that ordinary people's views on Simpson's guilt or innocence split on racial lines. I thought that was immensely depressing. Of course people's views on police and the fairness of ...
