Here’s a video of a cat crashing a classical music concert in Istanbul– the members of the orchestra apparently enjoy petting the cat, and the conductor is not annoyed when the cat jumps up on his podium (his comment can be translated as “Is anyone here allergic to cats?”): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbapUt-azzA&ab_channel=TheBlackCat
James Lileks reports that the fencing and plywood are coming down all around downtown Minneapolis. This does not bode well for Chauvin’s appeal, or his sentencing.

The appeals will take years. Don’t know what local merchants would know about what’s going on inside the trial judge’s head.
It’s not the local merchants who decide when to de-fortify the Hennepin County Government Center.

The appeals will still take years. Who do you fancy Judge Cahill has been blabbing to?
The bill, called the 21st Century FREE Speech Act, follows a legal opinion from Justice Clarence Thomas arguing that censorship of Americans on tech platforms could be ended if they were regulated as common carriers or places of public accommodation.
We’ve heard the proposals to end Sec. 230 so that average Joes and Josephines can sue the big tech social media companies. That might work for a few media companies but not much else. The above proposal at least seems like it could be more effective.
Senator Bill Hagerty caught with a bunch of kiddie porn in 3, 2, 1…
They’ll just upload some to his devices.
Zaphod,
I almost wish I was a gambler. Could have started a betting pool on that one.
This is an excellent article on the difference between Political Horror and Political Terror:
It has, of course, relevance for the times in which we are now cursed to live.
Paul Rossi, CRT dissident at Grace Church High School, is interviewed by Jordan Peterson on April 22nd. Two hours long.
“ Grace Church High School: Teaching & the Voice of Conscience with Paul Rossi & Jordan B Peterson” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysQBegyQP8A
Intriguingly, Rossi became a math teacher. But only after becoming seduced into PoMo as a scholarly student of lit and French. But his attempt at becoming a writer in his 30s disabused him of his youthful critical furies.
Rossi gets sucked into the empathy and the moral intimidation of White Supremacy claims, that is leads to genocide!
Then he gets unlocked because it is a close system, damaging genuine inquiry and expression and shutting dissent down completely. A ritual doctrine will be inspiring? And hold all answers?
Then he turns, 1:04 to 1:10m. Then he waxes self-indulgent in his guilt or complicity. Yet the Jordan points back at Paul that there is the menace of “privilege creep” (1:12:50m). Since it is rare that no one enjoys no “privilege,” this means that the circle of guilt can be expanded indefinitely. And therefore the targets of persecution, too.
AG Garland’s garlands are showing:
“ The Biden Justice Department is ‘actively considering’ whether to give prosecutors new authorities to bring specific charges against ’domestic terrorists.’
“ ‘One of the things we’re looking at is would we need new authorities,’Brad Wiegmann, deputy assistant attorney general for the department’s national security division, said Thursday.
“Because the current laws on the books to bring charges for arson, violations of weapons or explosives laws isn’t enough.
“The reality is the DOJ is looking to make new laws to persecute people with whom they politically disagree.”

A home without a cat is just a house.

Look like a Monty Python sketch…a good one.
I had not heard of this before.
