10/ McB:

BOVE: What makes this case different is the predicate for the 175.10 charge (the NY state election law) is it's only unlawful if there is unlawful activity. Otherwise, it's just agreement to win an election.

👉🏼After Merchan cuts in, Bove waves his arms and continues to try to argue, but Merchan calms him down, and says "relax."

"I'm going to be consistent with my earlier rulings," Merchan says, reminding Bove that the People initially had 4 theories, and he ruled against one of them.

50/ ICYMI: Via Griffin...

Closing arguments in Trump's New York criminal trial will begin the Tuesday after Memorial Day — May 28 — Judge Merchan says, to ensure there are not multiple days between summations and deliberations.

WHICH SUCKS because I'll be in the car on my way to Canada, which will make it REALLY hard to do any live posting.

1/... Tyler McBrien:

It's 2:09 p.m., Trump walks in with his defense team in tow.

He blasted Costello, declaring, “I’m putting you on notice that your conduct is contemptuous. If you try to stare me down one more time I will remove you from the stand.” Addressing the defense lawyers, he added, “I will strike his entire testimony, do you understand me?”

When Costello asked, “Can I say something?” Merchan replied, “No, no, this is not a conversation.”

People of Mastodon!

I'm researching the growth of ebikes ...

... in cities around the US

I've talked to many people who love them!

But also want to include the perspective of folks who have concerns ...

... i.e. about the speed and weight of ebikes in accidents with pedestrians or other cyclists, and the like

If anyone has thoughts they wanna share, ping me! I'm all ears: clive@clivethompson.net

Pass this along if you know anyone else with perspective they want to share

@clive I am very much pro-e-bike and use them myself (cycled "acoustically" for years before I got osteoarthritis in the knees).

My concern is that car-centrists have looked at California's e-bike definitions and created what is essentially an electric Vespa without the regulations & training a Vespa driver would be subject to.

This stokes ire against cyclists & increases crackdowns on all e-cycle riders instead of drivers.

Ma meilleure expérience d'OS jusque là : Windows XP Pro.
Stable et transparent. Je veux le même. Et je veux rentrer dans les années 2000, là où est ma vraie maison.
Je déteste les trucs "familiaux" qui me paternalisent. Je déteste encore plus les écrans de démarrage qui masquent ce qui s'exécute derrière.
Je déteste les "il y a une application pour ça" à la Windows qui fait que mon PC ressemble à un fuckin smartphone (je déteste les smartphones aussi).
Je veux savoir où sont mes fichiers, je veux savoir où sont les exécutables, je veux pouvoir faire ce que je veux avec, je veux la TRANSPARENCE ET LE CONTRÔLE, je veux pouvoir comprendre ce que je fais.

Bonjour! ^^ (Ou Bonsoir.) J'ai à nouveau envie de faire un fil de sondages Pokémon!
Cette fois-ci j'aimerais comparer la popularité des formes régionales avec celle de leurs formes originales!

Ce sera un très TRÈS long fil (le plus grand que je ferai je pense), dans l'ordre du pokédex. Car je trouve cela plus fun de mélanger les régions incluant de nouvelles formes, surtout qu'un certain pokémon en possède deux dans des régions différentes.
Le défaut c'est que ça va faire BEAUCOUP de pokémon de la 1G d'affilé, mais de toute façon il faudra bien qu'ils apparaissent! ^^'

On commence donc avec Rattata VS Rattata d'Alola!
Quel sera le meilleur rat?🐀

Here's the link to ask or say whatever you want: https://forms.gle/hEwv6eU4CQHWqBeF9

The only stuff I won't respond to are:

  1. Questions about what I've got going on with my pelvis.
  2. Anything that's just being mean.

Everything else is on the table, including stuff I wouldn't usually answer. 😉

AMA QUESTION:

"How can being ace play into a trans identity / how can it confuse the process of questioning one's gender? I think it describes how I present, but not necessarily who really I am. Like I find myself repulsed by the idea of myself having sex (possibly just in my current form?), but not by the concept of it in general. Also thank you for your work on SGW, it's depressingly rare to find such high quality writing. "

OOH THIS IS ANOTHER HECKIN GREAT QUESTION!!!

It can make things--

--REALLY goddamned complicated. Let's take one example for illustration: a sex-repulsed asexual binary feminine trans gal trying to figure her stuff out.

One major feature of high femme clothing is that it does display and present our secondary sex characteristics for admiration--boobs and butt, mainly. Take a '50's swing or tea dress as an example here: lots of cleavage, and a skirt made to accentuate hips and attract attention. If you're a sex-repulsed ace, that exact attention is--

🚨👀🚨

Prosecutors have pictures of w/ his bodyguard on 24 Oct 2016, right around 7:57PM. The defense had sought to suggest that had talked to Schiller that night instead of Trump, as Cohen originally testified. Now, the prosecutors will fight to get this piece of in, which shows that Cohen easily could have talked to both Schiller & Trump on the call, as he testified.

It happens again when Justice #Merchan sustains an objection.

#RobertCostello says “jeez,” apparently meaning to question the judge's authority. “I’m sorry?” the judge asks, glaring at the witness.

More insanity: Costello just moved to strike his own answer.

Merchan the jury to step out again.
He scolds Costello.

After the exchange, Merchan orders that the courtroom be cleared.

The press is escorted out, but strangely #Trump’s guests are allowed to remain.
