I have jury duty today.
On the way to the courthouse, I swung by @stevevladeck.bsky.social’s office at Georgetown Law. Picking which prop from his office to bring to jury duty was really hard! I narrowed it down to these two.
Think I’ll get selected?!
Excellent timeline cleanse

Greg Davies: Great task, well done. Didn‘t eat a thing.

Alex Horne: Ah. Well. Let’s take another look at that pomegranate.
Yeah, I don't think a lie like "actually the data center doesn't have doors" would work.
Switzerland is not a lawless wasteland with data centers guarded by vigilante gangs or something.
When the police come with a warrant they have to honor it.
If accusations like the US intentionally destroyed a desalination plant prove true, elite accountability will become a national security imperative. Rehabilitation into multilateral security arrangements will require repudiation of the administration’s crimes, and imposition of a credible deterrent.

I know that the people who need to read this aren’t here, but here goes:
Rules of engagement aren’t for the enemy. They’re for you. They’re for your soldiers when they’re captured or wounded. They’re for your civilians when they’re in range of the enemy. They’re for your allies, to reassure.

Post See new posts Conversation Laura Rozen @lrozen · 2h From US admin official background briefing recording listening to, seriously question if US negotiators understood what Iranians were proposing.

On top of all the reporting that this war of aggression was planned well in advance, it seems that the reporting also indicates that the US political leadership are quite literally too stupid to understand basic diplomacy. I mean literally not smart enough.
“Nobody [in media is] coordinating this. It’s a set of professional habits designed for a political environment where officials operate in roughly good faith. Applied to a bad-faith actor, those same habits actively obscure what’s being said”
@parkermolloy.com, on missing/distorting the big picture
Yeah that's why I unsubscribed from that one
People are always like what’s something you miss from the past and one of mine is antitrust laws

I'm really sick of liberals and centrists thinking that compromise is something you start with instead of something you end with
