Not enough attn to this. Main Justice ordered New York office (SDNY) to drop the charges agst Eric Adams on Monday. Most - me included - thought that meant it was done. Already happened. But as of right now no one has filed a motion to drop the charges. We're going on three days later.

BTW, for any non Eagle followers, the final score doesn’t reflect how bad Chiefs were beaten. Last TD was agst Bird’s 2nd string. This was a decisive win agst the best the rest of the NFL could offer. Fly Eagles fly. 🦅🦅🦅

Fascinating how having Bluesky share button has become a symbol of a pub's proximity to Team Elon. NYT, AP, Guardian, TPM have it. WaPo, WSJ, Politico, Axios do not.
Notable thing is that Bluesky has much higher engagement rates, even agst a small smaller user base, at least in nominal terms.

The notion - & one hears this a lot - that any Rs in the Senate who might be willing to rebuff Trump on these nominations would only feel they could vote agst 1 or 2 makes no sense to me. Once you're in the crosshairs of T & his flying monkeys, you're there; might as well vote agst several.

The AI debate has forced me, somewhat agst my will, to grapple a bit more closely with the "longtermists", basically a movement or subculture of morons who propose novel forms of moral reasoning based on sci-fi ideas they imagine might happen hundreds, thousands or millions of years in the future.
Nick Beckstead, noted longtermist and "effective altruist,” just comes out and says it:
"But it now seems more plausible to me that saving a life in a rich country is substantially more important than saving a life in a poor country, other things being equal."

Have a piece coming momentarily (now being edited) which explains why it's critical to begin a process to bring sanctions agst the prosecutors and US Attys who bring these cases which make war on the US constitution, or failing that make them radioactive for future legal employment.

Well, George, remember that Musk already lost at least $500 billion to the US Treasury by torching the IRS, according to the IRS's own internal numbers. So even before we get the repair bill, what Elon claims to have saved is agst that $500B debit.

It's lost on you that having someone who is vociferously agst Zionism (which is 100% his right) say well if you (speaking to Jews generally) embrace this you're inviting violence agst yourself is a big problem. Slot in Muslims and the same kind of "you need to" comments and see how it sounds to you.
