About two weeks ago, I headed down the sourdough rabbit hole. Watching a bunch of youtube videos, I made my own starter that took ten days and two tries. Then, I went through the two day process of proofing and finally baking a sourdough bread. It came out pretty well. It was missing some of the nice open crumb you …
Go Woke, Go Broke
This nice headline was coined by the New York Post and Mr. Wonderful from Shark Tank. Basically, a lot of very large retailers have learned the hard lesson that not everyone thinks like you do. This is a hard concept to get across to people. If you were a republican legislator in Indiana and you think that everyone in your …
Happy Pigs Case at SCOTUS // NATIONAL PORK PRODUCERS COUNCIL ET AL. v. ROSS
The great state of California in its infinite wisdom passed a law that no pork could be sold in California unless the pigs were treated humanely and housed in cages that allowed them to turn around and have a little room to do pig things. California consumes 13% of the nation’s pork but produces nearly none of it. So, California …
PLCAA
I am regularly contacted by people who want to sue the City of Philadelphia for any number of reasons. About a third of the time, people are upset by perceived lawlessness and want to sue the City. For a while, I was getting several calls a month about off road vehicle gangs etc. Recently, calls about shootings have picked …
Proud Boys Verdict and Justice Grinds Slowly But Exceedingly Fine
Note to self, venue matters! The Proud Boys (PB) were convicted individually, and probably collectively eventually, of conspiring to overthrow the government or interfere with the lawful election process. I will be reading closely to see any juror interviews of their jury. Think about how your average Washington, DC juror would view this case. A notoriously violent thug group comes …
CLARENCE THOMAS WATCH
Ah, Clarence. As we all know, a leopard cannot change its spots. Does anyone know anyone who would like to pay for my children to go to private school even though they are not your children? It seems that this is not worth disclosing if you are C larence. It certainly seems like a stain on the ethical credibility …
FOX NEWS / DOMINION
Well, that’s a damn shame. Case is settled for $700 million or so and an apology. My first thought is that I really, really hope that Dominion’s counsel had this on contingency, though I doubt that. Second, I was a bit concerned as to how a company was going to show 1.8 Billion in damages and get a jury to …
JUDICIAL ELECTIONS COMING UP
Are they ashamed of their detestable conduct? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush. So they will fall among the fallen; they will be brought down when I punish them,” says the LORD. Jeremiah 6:15. I am not much for biblical quotations. But, this quote was on the wall of a church …
Dominion MSJ v. Fox News: Interesting Development
There was an interesting development last week in the voting machines company’s lawsuit against Fox News. In order to win a case against a broadcaster like Fox for defamation, you have to prove both falsity of what was said and knowledge that the statements were false. Malice aforethought I think is the fancy terms. You have to know that what …
Your Water Is Dangerous, Whaaaaat?
Recently, I had not heard about the latex spill into the Delaware River and went to my local ACME and found that all the bottled water had been cleaned out. Except, of course, Aquafina which has a serious marketing problem. But that is a separate story. Anyway, here is what happened per the City of Philadelphia. A synthetic latex product …
