So if the former judge person who's looking over trumps finances at the moment has a hard time liquidating his assets, can she like just burn them down for the insurance money? She's a former judge I'm pretty sure she could get away with it.

Didn't the other judges just start scheduling through her stated scheduling, as like everyone else following, they know it's just made up bs and she's going to keep pushing back until after the election? I know at least one judge, I think in the NY fraud case, who just said they cannons dates aren't firm and if they did end up being a schedule conflict they'd work it out closer to the time.

This hush money trial is now going ahead because of Cannon's delay, to my recollection.

 by continuing to stall the trial again, and again, and again, judge cannon forces a delay on all other things across the universe. at first in small pieces of time ... and later in measures beyond eons. in this way, the heat death of the universe is forever postponed, and the miracle of form in creation continues our eternal dance

As if everything reveres back to the singularity after a certain countless number of endless eons, Cannon just needs delay enough that time has reversed past the point where trump committed the crimes so therefor the jury will be forced to find him not guilty!!!

I thought Cannon was living dangerously because her ruling regarding witness identities were essentially pants-on-fire crazy and in blatant disregard of precedent?

Maybe it has changed because I haven't been regularly going to the courthouse for a long time, but whenever I needed to contact a judge I had to get their judicial secretary to forward me to their cell phone if they weren't scheduled to be on the bench that day. I would imagine Covid and Zoom only made it worse. Leon Trotsky 2012 fucked around with this message at 15:56 on Feb 27, 2024 |

Metropolis is literally like the clay tablet epic of early films. Also goes to show just how much of a crutch modern films have for visual design with CGI everything.

Hot take maybe but I liked Metropolis better when it was less coherent and just a stream of imagery And yeah the effects are amazing given their constraints. Look up how the Schufftan process works

I don’t know how far you got in physics but “gravity” in the Newtonian sense is a lot more complicated in the Standard Model. Especially because it behaves really, really differently if you have a lot of it (a black hole) or very little of it (sub-atomic particles).

Right now what we understand about gravity/relativity and what we understand about quantum mechanics do not fit into the same theoretical framework, even though both of those things seem pretty ironclad based on our observations of natural phenomena. We just don't know why this is and we're still working on it We poo-poo the idea that we've reached the End of History all the time but we're equally far from the End of Science
