How can the media focus be on Cohen in response to this testimony:

“During cross-examination, Cohen admitted to stealing from Trump’s company. He kept money that was meant to go to a tech company hired to rig polls in Trump’s favor”?

Hired to rig polls? This is part of Trump’s defense? Cohen stole money I wanted him to spend committing election fraud, so we shouldn’t believe him when he says I committed election fraud?

When your bio says "I'm argumentative," and you try to argue really weak points with me, not only will you lose, you'll get blocked right after I crush said weak effort.

Just finished Nick Harkaway's superb, melancholy, violent private detective SF #mystery, Titanium Noir, which was on @tithenai's NYT best 10 #SFF books of 2023. Would absolutely recommend!

Via Anna Bower:

New order from DC Circuit Court of Appeals ahead of oral argument on #Trump’s Pres immunity appeal advises parties to be prepared to discuss issues raised by amicus curiae.

Among other issues raised by amicus curiae, American Oversight argues Judge Chutkan’s denial of Trump’s absolute immunity claim is not immediately appealable—meaning that Trump would have to wait until after trial to raise the appeal.

But the special counsel’s brief did not raise that argument #legal

I realised that most of the books or stories I really enjoyed this year could be categorised with the #Cozy hashtag , but I don't (didn't?) see myself as a cozy #genre reader (one of my fave book is Gravity's Rainbow). So I wondered what is going on and started to read up on the definition of cozy #genre. This blog post I found especially helpful, because of the nuanced discussion of the low/high stakes dynamics.

Sometimes I get so overwhelmed I can’t stand it.

I never, ever would have suspected growing up that in my “golden years,” I’d be consumed by the real and present dangers of catastrophic climate change and fascism in this country.

Still fighting like hell, but that’s not the point of this post, so no need to tell me to “keep fighting, don’t give up.”

I’m allowed, as you are, to feel scared, alarmed, overwhelmed sometimes.

This is one of those times.

I do not understand how Musk is retaining the support of his investors. Tesla value has plunged. He's destroying Twitter and alienating users. He's been, IMO, unethical and annihilated trust with his antics. And he thinks people will gravitate to an "everything X" that replaces YouTube, LinkedIn, FaceTime, dating apps, and your bank? Delusional.
