Y’all, I hate to rain on the dead bot parade, but the Yandex data center destruction doesn’t seem to have significantly impacted social media bots. I made temporal graphs of X posts about AfD around the time of the attack and there’s no sign of a sudden dip or residual impact on that conversation.

CASE NO.: 8:24-cr-00068-KKM-SPF
DEFENDANT, TIMOTHY BURKE'S, MOTION TO DISMISS THE INDICTMENT WITH PREJUDICE FOR VIOLATION OF THE SPEEDY TRIAL ACT AND THE SIXTH AMENDMENT, AND INCORPORATED MEMORANDUM OF LAW
Defendant, Timothy Burke, moves, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 8$ 3161-3162 and
the Sixth Amendment, to dismiss the Indictment (Doc. 1) with prejudice. This
case reduces to three facts the government cannot escape: 1) there was no appeal,
2) there was no justification for the delay it caused, and 3) the harm to Mr. Burke
is real, substantial, and entirely of the government's making. Dismissal is
required.UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA

JD Vance, who said that Haitians were eating cats, says what? Vance targets James Talarico’s gender views w/gross innuendo. Talarico’s views on transgender rights are fair game for political debate. But implying someone is a sexual predator because they advocate for LGBTQ children is sick.

8th Cir. holds that it violated clearly established law for state trial judge to order two children locked in the courthouse jail after they refused to leave the courthouse with their mother who had just won primary custody following a divorce. No QI for judge. ecf.ca8.uscourts.gov/opndir/26/10...
We have no doubt that Judge Eighmy believed he was acting in “good faith,” and possibly even in the children’s best interests, by detaining them.  But good faith in the Fourth Amendment context is about reasonable reliance, either on binding appellate precedent or a warrant issued by a “neutral magistrate.”  Wheeler v. City of Searcy, 14 F.4th 843, 852 (8th Cir. 2021) (quoting Messerschmidt v. Millender, 565 U.S. 535, 546 (2012)); see generally Davis v. United States, 564 U.S. 229 (2011).  Neither was present here.  No case allows a judge to detain children in a holding cell when they refuse to leave with a parent.  And a custody plan is no substitute for a warrant.  See Rockett, 71 F.4th at 672 (explaining that in Missouri, a custody plan allows a judge to issue a pick-up order); Mo. Rev. Stat. § 452.885 (outlining the process for getting one).  In short, rough justice does not trump the Constitution.
