Rate limits are the new social-networking hotness. https://techcrunch.com/2023/07/17/the-spam-bots-have-now-found-threads-as-company-announces-its-own-rate-limits/

Also, I wonder if Harlan Criw has been calling these “charters” businesses expenses, even as Clarence Thomas is refusing to declare them as gifts because they’re “personal hospitality.”

Is Criw making a “business expenditure,” or “hosting” a “friend.” It really can’t be both. He either needs to hang Thomas out to dry, or pay those taxes.

@bacchus1234 Like I was just telling someone else, SCOTUS justice Scalia (@GOP) had what he called the "Unitary Executive Theory" to give the president dictatorial powers. The RNC & Federalist Society & corporations w/media (FOX) have been planning this #COUP for decades!

@GottaLaff @emptywheel This whole ridiculous ideal that no presidential candidate can be on trial means that ANY person accused of a crime can put their hat in the ring and be immune. That's patently absurd.

@AlliFlowers seeing this though really makes me scared about what will happen in the future.

Vaccination partially protects against Long Covid. Study found that "in a population completely vaccinated, long COVID is nearly 21% less frequent than in an unvaccinated population."

This is big. Unanimous decision, I doubt the Federal Courts will consider it now once it is appealed to them.

@AlliFlowers
Tommy's lovin' it. He couldn't care less about military personnel affected by his nonsense, he's just basking in the attention he's getting and the approval of fellow psychopaths like MJT, Gaetz, and Josh Hawley. Who cares if you ruin peoples' lives, if you can own the libs and have fun at the same time? The GOP has become the party of marginally literate sociopaths.

The word anti-semitism gets thrown around a lot, and many times it isn't justified, like at people who criticize Israeli government policies towards Palestinians.

However, insinuating that Covid was bioengineered to not be nearly as impactful against Jews is objectively anti-semitic.

When teaching our 2yo the importance of manners, Grandma would often respond "it's my pleasure " when thanks were given.

2yo then thanked someone else (woo-hoo it's working!) who also answered "it's my pleasure ", 2yo quickly replied most indignantly "no! it's Grandma's pleasure!!" ❤️

Alan Dershowitz sanctioned due to Kari Lake voting machine lawsuit https://www.tucsonsentinel.com/local/report/071723_dershowitz_sanctions/alan-dershowitz-sanctioned-due-kari-lake-voting-machine-lawsuit/
A federal judge didn’t buy Alan Dershowitz’s claims that he should be spared from sanctions given his limited role in Kari Lake's 2022 lawsuit aiming to ban the use of electronic voting machines in Arizona, ordering him to pay more than $12,000 in attorney’s fees.

Via Kyle Cheney:

JUST IN: #CANNON makes explicit that she wants #Trump team ready to address #DOJ's proposed trial schedule, as well as any specific objections to the deadlines laid out by prosecutors.

Unclear whether this will be held under seal. There's no reason it should be, and Cannon is clearly aware of intense national (and international) interest in this. But because of its connection to the hearing on classified procedures (which is typically sealed), it may be. #legal
