These kinds of stories terrify me because my son - and others like him - are not capable of responding to interrogation or questioning like this in a way that remotely maps onto how NTs respond. I know that that's how it will be, nearly every time. And I'm a fucking lawyer too.
Fun 4.8 #earthquake in #NJ this morning. What does it mean that the biggest earthquake I've been in was not in California, where they're not uncommon, but in NJ, where they are very rarely felt?
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
I'm surprised, sometimes, at the number of lawyers I know who don't know that the police don't have legal obligations to protect people from crimes or interrupt crimes or prevent them.
I'm just going to say that I heard from a friend that parachutes and scooters were not unknown back in say 1974. But they were all in black and white....
I'm not sure what the definition for working folks of "economy is bad" is, but the unemployment rate is below 4% <bls.gov/charts/employment-si…>. If you want a job, it's out there; and they're looking for you.
AUSAs are no joke. They don't get paid like the people on the other side of the aisle, but every one of them has more trial time than the entire defense team. FAFO. They have standards and can choose smart people who want to be in court. And the ones who win move up.
Were you there as well? It was incredibly brutal. Relentless. With receipts. Him and his verbal quibbling and wriggling and then being caught red handed with his own words in audio or video or in print articles or on FTX customer documents or on internal spreadsheets or in his own notes … on and on and on and on and on. A never-ending stream of catching him in how own contradictions. I am absolutely certain he is very remorseful he decided to testify
Some news. After ten years of talk, I've launched a new business offering automated contract templates. Very imaginatively, it's called Adams Contracts. It's at adamscontracts.com.
I know these conflicts can seem far away. It’s natural to ask: Why does this matter to America?
Israel and Ukraine’s success is vital to our national security. History has taught us that when terrorists and dictators don’t pay a price, they cause more death and destruction.
This sounds like the stuff people said about JFK: that you can't elect a Catholic because he's beholden to the Pope. I totes recall that section on the AP history test about when he imposed Friday fish fries on the country before Dallas....
And I'd say if someone took an oath to the Bible not the country it would be just as bad, or - perhaps? - just as meaningless. It's that whole freedom of religion thing that Americans sort of believe in....
Our kids go to a pluralistic Jewish school focused on social justice, diversity & community.
School is cancelled tomorrow because of the Day of Jihad - Hamas' call for worldwide murder & violence against Jews.
We live in NYC.
Are we still pretending this is about Israel?
It’s remarkable how on Trump’s telling almost every single person he picked for key positions is a terrible person and failure, but somehow it’s never his fault
"Warner Bros. Discovery Says Strikes Saved It More Than $100 Million in Q2" - tell me you don't understand business without telling me you don't understand business.
Hard to make shows without actors and writers, so what was the opportunity cost of the strikes?
