Remember DNC, it doesn't matter who you run, Fox news will call them a socialist. You could endorse the corpse of Ronald Reagan and their first segment would be "Extreme socialist Reagan picked by Soros to destroy America"

Stop caring what fox news says, and listen to your base. It clearly works.

Impeach, remove, try, and incarcerate!

Agreed! Election day 2025 is a ray of light in this ever darkening world. People are waking up. In Cali we passed Prop 50 by nearly a 2-1 margin to counter the Texas Gerrymander. People know what is at stake.

This is also why we give prosecutors pretty wide latitude in choosing what to send to trial. Sometimes everyone agrees application of the law would be a miscarriage of justice.

This is why it is so important that laws be designed from the beginning to be just, and why courts and judges must consider the interpretation and execution of law when enacted to ensure the law bends toward justice.

That's the point. You can't discuss nullification. If word ever gets back to the judge it will become a mistrial. Sadly, a trial is about adherence to the Law. It isn't about justice. If you want justice via nullification you must simply vote to acquit and stick to it (and hope others do too).

Re the death of Dick Cheney, it is worth reflecting on the inflection point in this chart when considering his legacy.

Nullification is good to know about and understand, but not something you ever want to bring up within a mile of a court house. You can act to nullify personally. But if you voice any thought of it you'll pretty much guarantee a mistrial.

I haven't been to Toronto, so I can't really say "better or worse". But I can say LA has never really been "planned"! Oh, they plan and build all sorts of things, but that building has never really served a unified purpose of vision.

This is great. How doe you find several HUNDRED people who know every bit of the "Thriller" choreography? That looks like so much fun.

Let's just lay it out. Epstein was a glorified pimp who used and sold the services of children to the wealthy, the elite, and the powerful. His clients will destroy anything and everything to stay hidden. They will even starve poor people. They have no bottom and no conscience.

There are many places (like logistics, manufacturing, wave form analysis, weather) where "AI" - machine learning is the better term - can do amazing things. But these systems are trained on VERY carefully curated data sets with known pedigrees. Slurping the internet is just GIGO.

It is very important to remember that LLMs are DESIGNED to return a "plausible" answer, but the models have no actual way to verify their answers as factual (because the language they train on cannot be guaranteed as factual).

A photo of the last sentence in Kelly and Zach Weinersmith's book "A City on Mars".  The sentence is "Many people contributed to the development of this book, but ultimately any mistakes that remain in the text are entirely the fault of Phil Plait."

Ok, I'm a little late on this read, but @philplait.bsky.social what the heck did you do to the Weinersmiths? (My assumption is you are good friends, but...)
