“both he and [Letitia] James signed a form misclassifying them as spouses. But a property deed notarized on the same date correctly described their relationship as father and daughter. Also, this happened 42 years ago”

No judge or jury will convict.
DOJ will just be embarrassed

The case against James is absurdly lame. I’m sure all Republicans and MAGA influencers opposed to the weaponization of government will denounce this abuse of prosecutorial power. Right?
Next Up: Letitia James
It’s hard to imagine a worse case than the one against James Comey—until you see the one against the attorney general of New York.

Over at @strongtownsottawa.ca we've calculated the productivity of different development patterns in #OttCity. Tax per hectare is easy.

Lately, I've been estimating the cost of servicing. These numbers are much more abstract but it's been fun.

Here is some data I'm tracking.

The Washington Post is using bothsidesism to justify everything Trump is doing.

From yesterday on political purges in the military. They compared it to covid vaccine policies.
Alt text: A screenshot of a paragraph from an article with white text on a black background. The text discusses Hegseth’s actions since taking office, stating that he has challenged traditional norms by saying as recently as last week that generals and admirals should resign if they don’t support the Trump administration’s policies. It compares this to the Biden administration’s coronavirus vaccine mandate, which led to the dismissal of thousands of troops.

“Take Szeder, founder of the AI gambling startup MonsterBet, says his tools give customers an edge. “We have some people who are probably hitting around 56 to 60 percent of the time, myself included,” he claims.”

“Some people” is doing a lot of work here 🤔

Day 8. Have always loved this song, Roddy Frame was a prodigious young songwriter and guitarist, perhaps peaked early. The 80’s were a good decade for Glaswegian bands.

Myanmar junta kills citizens on a Buddhist holiday.
They couldn’t hear death from above, over the sound of loud prayers.

“The bombing occurred at 7pm when the paraglider targeted the middle of the crowd. Young children, teenagers and teachers were among those killed”

Regulatory arb

“Because many B.N.P.L.s position themselves as short-term installment plans, they can float in a regulatory gray area — skirting not only the CARD Act but also other rule books like the Truth in Lending Act”

CFPB had a crackdown ready then Trump admin killed it
