I think the law should be applied equally to everyone. For instance, witness tampering ought to get a hard punishment, promptly.

British politics at the moment:
Conservatives: We’re going to do X!
Labour: We oppose doing X. It harms the most vulnerable in society, damages the economy and the environment, and violates our international treaty obligations.
Conservatives: We have a huge majority, so we’ve done X!
Journalists: Will Labour reverse X if it wins the next election?
Labour: No.

This might be a little bit, uh, putting too much weight on a one-bit joke, but that DJ Crazy Times Planet of the Bass song got a full music video now so we can stop listening to that TikTok “women are my favourite guy” clip.

I got to visit the Yogscast offices today and shake hands with people I grew up watching on YouTube. I felt like Troy in the episode of community where he gets to meet LeVar Burton, though my wife assures me I did better. Anyway, thanks for the tour, Daf!

"Why is the Justice Department raising this point to the court’s attention? Is it because the Justice Department is passionately committed to ensuring that Waltine Nauta has zealous representation? No, it’s because the Justice Department doesn’t want a conviction to be reversed on appeal. If the Justice Department sits back and lets Woodward represent Nauta, and Nauta is convicted, Nauta is guaranteed to retain a new lawyer on appeal saying that Woodward was conflicted and Nauta therefore gets a new trial. The Justice Department can’t say that Nauta waived this argument by failing to raise it in the district court because … Nauta’s own lawyer, who would have raised the argument, was conflicted! However, if the district court holds a hearing and makes extra double super sure that Nauta understands the risks of Woodward representing him, that would be a valid waiver that would hold up on appeal."

@futurebird there’s some talk that the real reason behind the raid was that the MCR was investigating the Chief of Police, Gideon Cody, regarding sexual misconduct allegations.

After almost six months of work, I'm proud to finally present my integrated commuter rail map of New York City and Philadelphia!
Showing five different commuter rail systems (#CTRail, #MetroNorth, #LIRR, #NJTransit, and #SEPTA), this map depicts everywhere a passenger can get to by train from NYC or Philadelphia without using Amtrak.
This is by far the most complicated map I've ever made, but I'm incredibly happy with the result!

Team Trump and A Nationwide Effort To Breach Voting Machines | HuffPost Latest News
“In at least three states, Trump’s allies breached voting machines in an effort to pursue conspiracy theories about voter fraud, and the same players have a habit of popping up in different states.
In Colorado, a former Mesa County clerk faces felony charges for allegedly allowing an unauthorized person to gain access to secure areas inside the clerk’s office. Digital images of the county’s election systems were posted online by a major figure in the QAnon conspiracy world shortly after.
In Michigan, three people, including a former Republican nominee for state attorney general, face felony charges over accusations they conspired to illegally access voting machines.”
