zoux posted:https://twitter.com/npfandos/status/1394719969938710535 Journalism ethics have evolved into blind rule-following that makes readers less informed. Remember how controversial it was when the NYT decided label something Trump said as "a lie" 2.5 years into his presidency? Some reporters feel like they have to be stenographers who just report what other people are saying at 100% face value lest they be "biased" in their reporting.

Biden being in Dearborn is dangerous... for the protestors, because there will be increased police presence, and police love to hurt people and if the president is there they give themselves more false justification

White House is having meetings with Senate Democrats to convince a few Senators to sign onto a modified D.C. statehood bill. This one would require the D.C. electoral college voters appointed by the 23rd amendment (which would be elected by basically just the President and his or her family if D.C. became a state and got its own electoral college voters) to give their votes to the winner of the national popular vote. This is a minor thing that probably won't lead anywhere, but does show that this is the first time a President has been actively engaged with D.C. statehood. Also, this is the first time the White House has explicitly backed changes to the electoral college (even though they are relatively minor). https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/13/us/politics/biden-dc-statehood.html

This is quite the quote!quote:Watkins, the “Q Shaman” Jacob Chansley’s attorney, said his client had Asperger’s syndrome and indicated that Chansley’s mental state — and the impact of Trump’s “propaganda” efforts — would play a role in his case. https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/capitol-rioters-trump-defense-comes-up-again-and-again-will-it-make-a-difference

quote:Alabama mass vaccination sites close amid dwindling demand quote:Lately, other than during morning and evening rushes and around lunchtime, workers sometimes sit idle waiting on patients to arrive. UAB nurse Cathy Fuller said the decline in demand is noticeable. quote:Gary Wright, who had COVID-19 in December and was vaccinated after a 90-day waiting period following the illness, brought his wife Amanda Wright for her second shot of the Pfizer vaccine since the site was close to their home. Gary Wright, who travels for work and is ready to quit wearing a mask, said he wasn’t worried that more people aren’t getting shots. quote:Vaccinations have lagged in predominantly white, rural counties in Alabama, while communities with predominantly Black areas are generally doing better. Overall, Alabama’s vaccination rate is the second-lowest in the country and better only than Mississippi’s rate. Even though this is terrible, the old mantra holds true and - somehow - Mississippi is actually doing worse than Alabama. In Mississippi, the demographic groups with the highest vaccination rates are prisoners and nursing home residents, despite being tiny fractions of the total population. https://apnews.com/article/al-state-wire-coronavirus-pandemic-health-9c4e068fd7edc8df1f46276540af1f05 Leon Trotsky 2012 fucked around with this message at 19:49 on May 18, 2021 |

When your client is video taped doing the crime, says, "I did the crime and don't regret it," and pictures of them doing the crime were on the front page of every national newspaper, then you gotta come up with a creative legal defense.

packetmantis posted:I swear I remember some big case where the "my client is too goddamn stupid to know right from wrong" defense backfired horribly. Maybe it was a TV show. IANAL but isn't that essentially just an insanity plea by another means? Like isn't the whole point of an insanity plea 'your honor, my client is clinically unable to differentiate right from wrong and/or engage with reality and so is not criminally responsible or their actions?' If you're arguing 'my client is so loving stupid he just does whatever the TV tells him like a lemming.' I don't see how that differs meaningfully from 'my client is severely ill and unable to distinguish reality from fantasy and beholden to the illusory voices in their head.' Like other than the fact we all had to and will continue to have to hear Trump, how is this meaningfully different, legally speaking, from saying the client heard voices telling them to kill people?

It looks like it is 37% of people have gotten at least one shot. But, the 25% is people who are fully vaccinated. Alabama is about 43% behind the national average and Mississippi is about 47% behind the national average.

haveblue posted:Was this the time where someone fat-fingered a routine loan payment and accidentally sent half a billion dollars to the debtor? yep, though it was more like three-quarters of a billion (citibank talked people who got $250m into returning it) everyone thought it was going to turn on which party was stupider, the stupider party getting the half-billion (the hedge funds insisting they simply had no idea it was a mistake they got paid), but instead it turned on a long-forgotten doctrine that when a bank pays off a loan unless it is evident on the face of the payoff it's a mistake, finders keepers, regardless of how stupid everyone was
