    AI don't trust techbros

    The Right Wing decrying it as wrong and evil because it's too woke to be Jesus? The AI telling a MAGA to do a gun massacre? The possibilities are endless.

    If it's not over before the one he has in New York starting March 25 that's going to be interesting to manage for him. Maybe they could set him up on a Zoom call into both trials simultaneously.

    The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    As many people are pointing out, he can't do this without the app being removed from Apple and Google's stores as both require social media apps to provide a means of blocking other users. Also hilarious:

    Amazed that legally they have to list all the grand jurors on the indictment. If anything happens, they're going to have a shortage of people willing to volunteer for future grand juries.

    I hope if anyone is named in Trump's report, that measures are swiftly taken to protect them, as you can guarantee some MAGA will go after them.

    This could have gone in the Twitter thread, I guess, but Twitter had to turn over all Trump's stuff to federal prosecutors, and was fined $350,000 because they delayed turning it over. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/aug/09/twitter-fined-contempt-trump-case It will be interesting to see...

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    They keep electing Ted Cruz and it looks like he'll win the next election too, despite famously fleeing the country when Texas had a major power outage during a massive winter storm. At this point I assume Texas is just outta luck for having sane people in charge.

    The prosecution has filed for a protective order, specifically citing that truth social post. The deadline for Trump's team to respond was set to 5pm Monday - Trump's team tried to ask for a delay, but were denied. Trump has responded with another tirade on social media attacking the judge and...

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    Unsurprising as the GOP didn't even field a candidate there. Maybe they figured it would just increase their embarrassment if they also had a candidate fail miserably.

    Why was engineering deserted during that bit anyway? Do they not need a bunch of people there working to make sure the warp core doesn't fall out or something?

    I thought during one of the other cases he did, and was given a stern warning not to do it again, but I can't find any news stories saying so, so I am probably misremembering.

    https://www.cnbc.com/2023/08/03/-donald-trump-arraignment-live-updates.html I presume that means he'd be held in custody until the trial, though I'm not holding my breath. He's already fundraising off the whole thing, of course.

    Trump unsurprisingly plead not guilty at his first appearance and has been released on bond. Next appearance is August 28. One of the conditions of bond is him not discussing the case with anyone other than through attorneys. 99% chance he blows that by posting about it on social media in the...

    To answer my own question, according to the Guardian's coverage: Also the assigned judge is an Obama appointee, Tanya S Chutkan, who's delivered some harsher than requested sentences to Jan 6 defendants.
