Elon Musk says he paid full price for Twitter due to โ€˜biasedโ€™ Delaware judge (TSLA:NASDAQ) Elon Musk says a โ€œbiasedโ€ Delaware judge pushed him to buy Twitter at full price.

Not sure what exactly his lawyers told him, but it was more likely they told him, โ€œThis is what happens when you sign a seller friendly merger agreement. The judge will be biased in favor of enforcing it.โ€

The man already got the Delaware legislature to re-write corporate fiduciary conflicts law for him. Now he wants his own special contract law?

Or maybe he discovered, like many wage workers before him, that binding yourself to a contract is. It the epitome of liberty; autonomy and self-governance๐Ÿค”

For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were.

These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War.
Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35
Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42
Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39
Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20

What makes the argument cohere is that the initial harm was not a moral violation - it was something they were entitled to do. Itโ€™s the *resistance* to the harm that is the moral wrong that requires retaliation.

Ie the logic of an abuser

The idea is that the abuser feels entitled to do harm first and the resistance to that harm is the moral/ ethical violation

Twitter post with a photo  of Trump in the gilded Oval Office, quoting โ€œ"Spain said we can't use their bases. We could use their bases if we want. We could just fly in and use it. Nobody is gonna tell us not to use it."
Spoken like a true rapist.โ€

Yes she did and she looks forward to the anonymous student commentary at the end of the semester.

Iโ€™m certain that when what remains of Iranโ€™s security forces begins its existential crackdown on civil dissent, we will welcome Iranโ€™s dissident refugees and fast-track their asylum applications

Pre-recorded straight-to-truth-social video messages in lieu of a press conference isnโ€™t quite as cowardly as hiding in a bunker beneath the reich chancellory while sending out 12 year old boys to do a last stand against the red army.

Deaths arising from wars of choice, like acts of god, school shootings, and tornadoes, are appropriately filed under โ€œsh*t happensโ€

because they are all, of course, devoid of human agency

The reason they didnโ€™t bring this to congress and the people is because they didnโ€™t want to give anyone the chance to mobilize against it.

My understanding of the paramount/WB deal is that paramount wants to try to win the steaming wars - and the CNN part is just the bribery mechanism to get it past regulators

This morning at approximately
6:30 a.m., federal agents from the Department of Homeland Security entered a Columbia Residential building and detained a student.
We are working to gather more information, working to reach the family, and providing legal support.

"missing person." We are working to gather more details.
It is important to reiterate that all law enforcement agents must have a judicial warrant or judicial subpoena to access non-public areas of the University, including
