Great. Just what I need - a hallucinating surgeon

Things I learned tonight: I’m never getting a Ring doorbell.
Bad Bunny “together we are America”

Orders received.

Yeah…it’s gonna be short lived…

I vote no

🍊🤡 issuing orders to his circus (FCC) to approve a merger (Nexstar-Tegna) that will blow through the statutory ownership caps and is definitely not in the public interest.

Eff all of those people. They make choices everyday. They don’t have to do that job.

Challenges? 1 million satellites?! 200,000 of which will deorbit every year have to be replaced. Challenges?! That’s one way to put it.

Thanks! Focusing mostly on abolitionist groups post 1830 but also need to tell a broader story of social welfare orgs. This will help tell the story

Oh, it’s going to be very boring - mostly focused on organizational structures and unincorporated social welfare organizations. The good stuff will end up on discarded bytes…

In the jury room (imagined)

Juror Bigelow: “He couldn’t have done it, cause I did it!”

Other Jurors: “You make a good point.”

In the subsequent trial of Elizur Wright (one of Morris’ co-defendants), a juror, Francis Bigelow, was instrumental in persuading other jurors to vote for Wright’s acquittal on charges that Wright had assisted Minkins’ escape. Turns out Bigelow had actually assisted Minkins escape to Canada! Whoops.

Related to an ongoing project on organizations of resistance in 19th century Boston

In 1851, Robert Morris, a well-known Af-Am lawyer in Boston was, along with at least one other lawyer from the Vigilance Committee, tried on the charge that he assisted Shadrach Minkins, a “fugitive slave” escape custody. A jury found him not guilty.
It turns out he did help Minkins escape.

It’s a joke, right? This is a joke? Tell me this is a joke.

No one on this side of the Pond has paid a public price for their involvement - other than the head of a law firm who stepped down from his position. It’s disgusting.
“.. Our BTC price target is 0.0. That’s not just for shock factor. It’s where the math takes us,” the strategist said, noting that Bitcoin has failed to function as a dollar hedge and instead operates as “a speculative instrument correlated to the Nasdaq.”

That ship has sailed…

In 1843, Massachusetts passed the Latimer Law, which prohibited state officials, judges, and justices of the peace from taking part in the arrest or detention of alleged fugitive slaves under the federal Fugitive Slave Act of 1793.

It’s all so disgusting
