A priceless study of a blatant gaslighting story by #trump and #musk falling to pieces. Would smirk if the human consequences of the actions of these horrible people were not so severe for #ukrainians. Now I am just again so mad that these evil assholes hold so much power over the fate of Ukraine.

The US government is now asking Elon Musk to restore the access they say was never removed, Elon says was shut down by the US government, and both briefly tried to pretend was down due to a technical glitch, in between darkly hinting Ukrainians deserve to die for being stubborn or ungrateful.

⚡️US lawmakers introduced legislation to block a diesel deal between Trump and Putin. The legislation bans investments in Russian energy, revokes OFAC licenses, and mandates sanctions on Russia's energy sector.

And this, from a nation that says "No Kings." The president by presidential fiat can just ignore the law of the land and do what he likes. Charles II tried to do that and we lopped his head off but apparently it's okay in the US.

“Musk is deciding who wins a war and who loses it? He’s not the president of the United States! “But Musk and Trump are now back on the same side - and that side is Russia.” Why is Musk using his control over the skies to help Putin, and has it got something to do with Trump?

Ivan Turgenev's "Execution of Troppmann" is a short essay, published in 1870, that gives a first-hand account of the writer attending a public execution in Paris. Turgenev's details how the drunk, unruly crowd turned a somber moment into a carnival. A deeply moving essay; I encourage you to read it.

Pete Hegseth says Americans will be able to watch a Trump-approved firing-squad execution. If he follows through, the U.S. could join a disturbing club of countries known for public executions—including Iran, Afghanistan, and North Korea.

I am currently kicking myself. Client on bail for really serious charges with trial date shortly. Arrested yesterday for another offence that could be said to be connected to the first matters. Evidence on new matters is overwhelming, so the advice is "get credit, plead guilty at the first hearing."

Well, I've just dealt with the first hearing and having heard the shockingly bad explanation of the prosecution case I now think if I'd applied, the client would've walked. But, you can't tell your client to wait and see whether the prosecutor is good or bad before deciding whether to apply for bail

It's quite some time since I misjudged what was going to happen quite so badly. I suppose I should console myself with the fact that I can't be sure that he would have got bail if he'd applied.

So far, so good. But where I went wrong I think, is I advised the client that he had absolutely no hope of getting bail. I told him that the case would be committed to the Crown Court for sentence and that he would be remanded in custody.

Although not entirely happy about his situation, the client accepted this advice and also accepted advice that there was no point in making a bail application. So where did it all go wrong, you may ask
