They don't want to go after Trump as a third-rate mob boss who blusters and threatens people.
Those are a dime a dozen and everyone knew this about Trump when he was elected president in 2016.
They want to nail him as the first president in United States history to make a serious effort to overturn a presidential election and remain in power.
Type #1: Third rate mobster. A dime a dozen.
Type #2: The would-be tryant trying to subvert the Constitution itself.

Assembling a Philips CM200 200kV TEM Electron Gun after extensive rebuild. These resistor chains form the accelerator voltage divider, at 200kV each chain has 40kV across it.
After resistors, corona rings go on each stage. Assembled, it goes in a lead lined housing, and Sulfur Hexafluoride replaces the air.
SF6 is better than air when it comes to holding off 44 kV across a gap as small as 1.7 mm.
Don’t now when it *actually* discharges there (not pictured yet) but it does (did?). Frequently.

I now run my own Mastodon site: steve@s.yelvington.com. It's running on a Raspberry Pi that's smaller than a deck of cards, tucked under the wine rack on top of a pie safe. Moving my account was straightforward and it moved my followers automatically but I did have to export/import my "followed" list manually.

this is insane:
“Prosecutors are likely to call Mr. Corcoran as a witness at Mr. Trump’s documents trial in Florida, even as he might continue to assist the former president’s defense team on the election case in Washington”

“While it is not uncommon for lawyers in complex matters — like large mob cases or financial inquiries — to wear many hats or to play competing roles, the Gordian knot of intertwined imperatives in the Trump investigations is particularly intricate and insular.
Some of the lawyers involved in the cases are representing both charged defendants and uncharged witnesses. At least one could eventually become a defendant, and another could end up as a witness in one case and Mr. Trump’s defender in a different one.”

Looking at the six co-conspirators, only one — Kenneth Chesebro - went to Harvard or Yale Law. This is disappointing. In this great nation’s history and culture, Harvard and Yale have played prominent and indispensable roles in destroying the Republic. Letting me down here.
Yes, two went to Georgetown Law. Nice work Georgetown. Way to get on the board! It’s a good start but see if you can start a few wars or overthrow something and get back to us.

Mastodon FeedAI-based upscaling is interesting...it's not so much the upscaling you'd expect as more like..."based on this, reimagine it as something at this resolution".
Misc. details can change, but the overall "feel" mostly remains the same.
e.g. based on a prompt from https://stable-diffusion-art.com/sdxl-prompts/, I upscaled the first image I got, and in the upscaled version, the subject has a completely different blouse, eye colour, different necklace, etc. Still, you can't deny the images are related.
