If you’re going to leave Twitter, please don’t
a) delete your account, because someone bad will steal your handle
b) delete your Tweets, because their existence doesn’t help Elon and it’s like burning the Library of Alexandria.
Twitter captures a real-time historical record of a couple of decades and the billions of individuals’ snapshots are irreplaceable.
The thought of all those tweets being erased makes me feel physically sick.
[please pass on if you agree.]
Conservatives in Texas have started a website, http://defendkidstx.com, for people to report upcoming local drag shows.

Aloha, everyone -
The Litigation Disaster Tourism Hour starts at 16:00 HST/20:00 CDT. Today's topics -
1: The LOLsuit Donald Trump filed against the Pulitzer Committee because of course he did;
2: Elon, Airplanes, Legality and Freezy Peaches.
I explained to the world (ok, to a journalist) that Elon can ban whatever he wants on Twitter, but he's in for a bad and stupid time if he thinks he can sue a kid for posting publicly available flight data.

I just read the latest filing (Support of Motion to Dismiss) in Finchem v Fontes and Hobbs (AZ) and got a few giggles.
"Talk about chutzpah," citing a 9th Circuit 2000 case...
and my favorite heading
"PLAINTIFF’S OTHER RAMBLING
NON-SEQUITURS SUPPORT DISMISSAL"
I must be easily amused. #lawtwitter

Aloha everyone!
The Litigation Disaster Tourism Houris live now. Join us for a look at the Kari Lake lawsuit, and other nonsense.
The #Fediverse and #Mastodon are experiencing some recent growing pains. There is a risk that developments could lead to the network fracturing into walled gardens of individual communities that are isolated from each other. There are also people who want to assert centralized control over the network. These dangers are described and a bold solution is proposed here:

BREAKING: Kari Lake files lawsuit challenging the results of the Arizona gubernatorial election. Citing issues in Maricopa County, Lake demands that either she be declared the winner or the election be re-run. More to come.
Read the complaint: https://www.democracydocket.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/Kari-Lake-lawsuit.pdf
UPDATE: Arizona judge denies Josh Barnett's emergency motion to reverse the dismissal of his lawsuit and scolds Barnett for using a retired attorney ineligible to practice law in AZ to prepare filings. Barnett sought to "annul" AZ's election results. https://www.democracydocket.com/cases/arizona-midterm-elections-annulment-request/
