Pretty sure I have convinced myself this is my path.

scribbleghoul 🧟‍♀️ @scribblegurl.bsky.social · Aug 14

Seriously, maybe I will just go buy a quaint little chateau in a smallish French village somewhere in the Loire Valley, and open a little place for people to come hangout and stay when they want to. I cannot tell you how appealing that sounds.

Also, someone please notice the tiny fig leaf sticker I placed over his junk. I made it just for my sexy statues account. 😁

It kinda cracks me up that it's on "wheels," though. Little ball bearings on the underside.

Right?

scribbleghoul 🧟‍♀️ @scribblegurl.bsky.social · 2h

Completely fair.

I am enjoying the audio version of Austen's Emma with Emma Thompson narrating, which is why I asked. Lady Susan was also excellent, though since it's epistolary, you wouldn't be able to tell how it was recorded, anyway.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

The deportation order is based on Vedam’s conviction for murder—a crime he did not actually commit and for which he’s now been wholly exonerated. He entered the US at 9 months old and was a legal permanent resident before his conviction. We are so, so, so far from the light of justice.

Lynn Becker @cmgiulini.bsky.social · 1d

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

He was wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years. Moments after being released, ICE took him

Subramanyam “Subu” Vedam now faces deportation.

Do you include in this books where the narrator is one person, and then only the dialogue is read verbatim by different actors?

I have questions. Chief among them, how do you plan to execute a general strike without solidarity?

We are all paying the price of fascism, and if what is important to you (generic) is who pays more, rather than doing all we can to stop it, i have no use for you. (Again, generic-you, not you-you)

My friend Sascha is a professional musician and he's lost a viola bow on the way to Heathrow. Please signal boost to help him get it back.

Lost viola bow on the way from Honor Oak Station to Heathrow Terminal 2. The bow slid from its bow case somewhere along the way, possibly on the train. TFL contacted already.
It weighs 68.2 grams and has got a stamped DODD next to the frog. If any info on this, please pm me.

USG wants to prevent Comey from talking about his discovery by, first, designating all the discovery sensitive (other cases designate PII and matters pertaining to informants), and then saying he can't access it w/o a babysitter.

Also note HIS discovery would be really useful for Maurene.

6. First, the defense objects to the provision in the protective order that disallows
defense attorneys from leaving the discovery with the defendant. Through public filings, the
government has reviewed at least ten protective orders that were entered on the docket in the
Eastern District of Virginia in September and August of 2025. Each of these protective orders
included a similar provision that prohibited unsupervised retention of discovery materials by the
defendant in the case. Prohibiting a defendant from unfettered access to the discovery is not unique
in criminal proceedings. The narrowly tailored restriction the government proposed is common
sense and does not place an undue burden on a Defendant that has been release on personal
recognizance.

7. Second, the government’s position is that all the discovery is Protective Material,
except for that portion of the discovery that is already carved out in Paragraph 2 of the proposed
order (Attachment 1). As the government understands it, the defense position is that all the
discovery is not Protective Material, unless designated as such by the government during
production. As stated above, through the proposed protective order, the government has already
carved out those items that are not Protective Material. The remaining discovery is appropriately
designated as Protective Material for the reasons previously provided

Here's their logic.

Really hard to imagine what they mean by "private emails or texts," as by their very natured they'd be governmental.

Normal, professional protective order requests speak of PII.

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

2. The vast majority of the discovery is law enforcement sensitive, for official use
only, includes private emails or texts, or is otherwise sensitive because of the private nature of the
information. Additionally, there is a heightened media interest in this case. Through social media,
the Defendant has already made a public statement regarding the indictment. Both the defendant
and the government have an interest in a fair trial with impartial jurors making decisions based only on the evidence that is part of the record. In re Morrissey, 168 F.3d 134, 140 (4th Cir. 1999).

3. The need to produce much of the discovery as close to its original format as
possible, together with the volume of the data and the interests in producing the material
expeditiously, makes it infeasible to make extensive redactions to the materials.
