Clarence Thomas says he and Ginny have endured "lies" and "nastiness". He says he wishes he had remained a judge on the DC Court of Appeals. Me too Buddy, me too.

Counsel approaches, brief sidebar

"Binoculars down."

As I mentioned, courtroom rules strictly enforced. During sidebar, court security doesn't allow reporters to use binoculars they had brought to see exhibits and facial expressions better

Via Josh Gerstein;

JUST IN: #SCOTUS signals it may undermine more common #Jan6 charges as justices ask DOJ to respond to petition challenging 'disorderly or disruptive' charges v. Russell Alford. DC Cir ruled charges valid even for nonviolent protesters.

DOJ had deemed Alford's petition unworthy of a response, but today #SCOTUS asked for one

#OnThisDay, 19 Apr 1967, Katherine Switzer becomes the first woman to complete the Boston Marathon as a registered runner, despite the organiser physically trying to stop her.

She ran it again in 2017, 50 years later.

Went with my parents #today to their attorney, as they want me (only child) to be aware of all processes in place when they pass & I inherit.

Not things I particularly enjoy pondering, but these conversations are necessary. As a family, we've had too many situations over the past few years in which the deceased didn't make adequate plans or inform heirs of the plans, leading to all sorts of unpleasantness.

So...and I'm reminding myself as well...get & keep your affairs in order, y'all.

Several journalists including a CNN stringer have been injured after Israeli forces surrounded & attacked Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, leaving one in critical condition. Per TRT bureau chief in Jerusalem, Israeli tanks launched a “targeted attack” on several journos.

According to reporting & judging from #Trump’s social media, his camp is considering another motion to recuse Judge Juan Merchan on the basis of his daughter’s leadership of an online strategy firm that has, among other clients, worked for Biden & other Dem candidates.

Trump moved to recuse Merchan last May—and his daughter was the principal reason why.

"As his administration has done in years past, President Joe Biden issued a presidential proclamation marking March 31st Transgender Day of Visibility. This shouldn’t have been especially controversial, and yet.

On Friday, the White House issued proclamations marking Transgender Day of Visibility" along with ten other proclamations honoring routine observances that happened to fall on that day.

#Boeing had come under the spell of a seductive new theory of “knowledge” possessed by a skilled & experienced workforce as essentially not worth the ⬆️HC costs. CEO McNerney purged the veterans into early retirement. He called longtime engineers & skilled machinists -those who cared too much about the integrity of the planes & not enough about the stock price were “phenomenally talented assholes"-ostracized them into leaving the co-.

Hospitals and Corporate Medicine HATE nurses. We do not generate income, we are an expense; and a rather loud advocate for patient care.

I'm pretty sure (er, fairly sure?) that SCOTUS will rule that Presidents do not have god/king-like lifetime immunity from prosecution. What I'm more interested in is this: will it be a unanimous decision? Who will dissent, and what is their argument? Will anybody recuse themselves, Clarence Thomas?

Has Trump ever ruled out violence when questioned? "Mr Trump, you just lost this game of Candyland, and I can see you're very upset. Will you tell your supporters not to engage in violence?" Yeah, no. Sometimes there is value in asking a question you already know the answer to, but other times it's just click bait.

I took my son climbing in the Gunks for the 4th time on Sunday. We did a route called Gelsa. He panicked on the top part of the route, which is very exposed. He left all my gear still in the rock. We made it to the top just as it became pitch black, and walked back to the car in the darkness. By the time I rapelled the route the next morning, all my climbing gear had been removed. $600 or $800 of gear gone that I can't really afford to replace.

I ran a 5k yesterday. My gps watched crapped out on me, and the official results haven't posted, but my time was something like 30:11. Which was GREAT for me. I hadn't run in almost a month d/t inured ankle. I would like to run a sub-30 5k, and be able to do a 10k without ruining my body.
