The Department of Justice has filed a motion seeking to effectively ban any references to me being a journalist from my trial
The United States respectfully requests this Court to preclude Burke in advance of trial from making any argument or statement or offering any testimony or other evidence that directly or indirectly suggests Burke’s claimed status as a “journalist” somehow impacts the legal implications of his charged conduct in this case. As explained below, this Court is the sole arbiter of any The United States therefore respectfully requests the Court to preclude in limine any argument and evidence during trial that suggests Burke’s claimed status as a “journalist” somehow impacts the legal implications of his charged conduct in this case. Such argument and evidence would be contrary to law and irrelevant under Fed. R. Evid. 401 and 402. In addition, any potential probative value (which does not exist here) is substantially outweighed by the threat of confusing and misleading the jury, inevitable delay, and would be a waste of time and resources, and should be excluded under Fed. R. Evid. 403 regardless.

Foreign friends, please don't come to the US right now. We're in the grip of government sanctioned monsters who have no interest in the law or anyone's wellbeing. I hate having to say it, but we're a dangerous place for you. Take care.

“hole in the ozone layer” levels of erasure. my mom was a project manager who busted her ass for years to make sure IBM was ready for Y2K and completely succeeded, only for it to get turned into a late night joke. funny how the stories of mass collective action to avoid disaster rarely get told

DAMMIT NPR.

I spent nine months upgrading over TEN THOUSAND desktops at a F500 client. The grand total was over SEVENTY THOUSAND applications upgraded.

Y2K "didn't live up to the hype" because the industry busted ass to duct tape everything first.
