Mississippi Supreme Court says poor defendants need a lawyer through their trial.

BUT:

“Some officials suggested that their current practice of appointing lawyers only for limited purposes will fulfill the new requirement, even though those attorneys do little beyond attending early court hearings.”

There is two tiered justice: the rich who get lawyers and the poor who do not.

“If you use Twitter, the service that not so long ago was the best way to take in breaking news and find audiences for serious conversations, you may have found it substantially less useful in the past year. Over this past weekend you found it almost unusable. On Saturday, everything melted down”

To be fair, I thought it would happen sooner. Complex systems are plagued with complex bugs (Microsoft at a time used to reboot its servers several times an hour).

“Over the past year, since the former genius assumed complete control of Twitter, he has expressed hostility toward its most loyal and active classes of user, including journalists, political and social activists, and the very businesses Twitter depends on for advertising revenue.”

First rule of business — make money.

Second rule — don’t alienate those who are helping you make money.

So, reduction in mag capacity is now a bad thing?

I thought dying from gunshot wounds was bad.

Reducing mag capacity in no way changes your gun. It still works. It will still kill. It just won’t kill as much at one time without reloading.

Here’s the kicker: SCIENCE PROVES IT!

@AkomoCombine Luminous blue variables (LBVs) are rare, unstable stars that undergo extreme changes in brightness. They are the hottest and most luminous stars known to exist and, because of their extreme brightness, they are also very bright in the ultraviolet range of the spectrum. LBVs represent a short-lived evolutionary stage in the life cycles of some massive stars, prior to entering a supernova or Wolf-Rayet phase.

@Alfred What are Luminous blue variables?

@th3j35t3r Yep and sure enough all the feeds i followed are off now.

Forcing us to login to see the feeds- LOL!

Just when you thought he couldnt screw it up anymore....hold his beer.

I wonder if Musk realizes how many actual news articles he's broken by making it so you *HAVE* to be logged into Twitter to view anything and therefore effectively killing the embed tweet function - used widely by journalists and legit news outlets.

.

Some #tips:
The community firehouse is = to the Home newsfeed.
A like is the star under posts. Click it and it turns yellow. CoSo calls it 'favoriting' a status.


The equivalent of an RT is the rectangular box with arrows. Click it and it turns blue. You have just 'boosted' someone's post.


Everyone here is nice. No keyboard warriors. No bots. No ads. No 'sponsored' posts.
Everyone is of the same mind.


The Jester keeps the lunatic fringe out. 
Follow him, @th3j35t3r


Someone has lost her ever-lovin' mind...

“They [#Twitter] also stopped paying rent on their San Francisco offices. And supplying toilet paper in employee bathrooms. And fired the cleaning services in all the offices.” - WaPo

Sounds solidly third world, a real den of filth that Twitter…But hey, it’s social media, if you pay & ask nicely Musk will let you send a tweet. ✌️

i will happily respect your beliefs...
