I really cannot believe how badly these people fucked it up, even by their own standards, given their own moral priorities, and with an eye to their own political interests.

Trump should have been charged with Epiphany Putsch and Raffensperger call-related crimes by the spring of 2021. There was no rush, because it was self-evident to the Liberal Officialdom that the Grave Violation of Norms was indisputable and that Trump was in the wilderness.

I also felt bad that only people could take selfies with the traffic cameras, while the cameras themselves did all the work. So I went to Times Square, put a mirror on the end of the pole, and took a true “traffic camera selfie”
I got a cease and desist from the NYC DoT for my website https://t.co/7qHHe4GZqx Using a 25-foot tall window washing pole, I took a picture of it with a traffic camera. I exhibited these pictures during Art Basel in Miami last week. I have been advised not to comment further.

I’m likely going to write about debanking early in the week. Short version: some parts of the narrative which sound like a paranoid conspiracy theory are simply policy as practiced the last few years. Other parts being bandied around are a bit handwavy about specifics.

I had just returned from facilitating capital flight and money laundering in Hong Kong and wanted to establish a US banking channel for my Bahamian crypto casino, so I had to go to fraudulent Silvergate. No choice!

The dream of MTV Rock N’ Jock Softball lives on in Rob Manfred’s Competition Committee
The Golden At-Bat rule would change everything about how baseball — the ultimate team sport — has always worked. What would it look like? And how is it likely to be received by players, front offices and the baseball gods? ✍️ @jaysonst
