Pelosi: Democracy is Threatened if We Can't Break Election Law and Tax Law Without Anyone Knowing

Unreal.

BTW, when is the IRS going to investigate the DNCC's violation of their nonprofit status?

I'm sure they'll get right on that.

Use Members of a Conspiracy to Investigate the Conspiracy

That's even more clever than the Lufthansa heist.

Wisconsin's Attorney General assigned former Milwaukee police officers to investigate a Milwaukee police shooting.

My prediction?  That's a good shoot!

Where are the Grand Larceny Charges?

The Washington State Attorney General is charging public officials with using public resources to conduct political activity.

Sounds like a straightforward case of larceny, right?

They used public money without authorization and for an improper and illegal purpose.

Sounds like larceny to me.

For some reason, they're only being charged with campaign finance violations.

Hard to Know Whether Official Impunity Will Apply Here, or Not

Virginia's Attorney General wants to investigate a regional jail.

On the one hand, the system desperately wants immunity for all actors when a prisoner or someone else who is regarded to be of no value dies.

On the other hand, this jail is run by a contractor, and this may allow some politician or other to grandstand by ritually punishing that contractor.

I'm not sure how this will play out.

TFW You Realize Disparate Works are Secretly the Same

I found myself, recently, working on a development project that required me to try to create a javascript visualization of an undirected network graph.

As I quickly discovered (to my chagrin) this is incredibly difficult to do, even with the assistance of Dijkstra's algorithm.

After I beat my head against this problem for a while, I started seeing directed and undirected graphs

Getting Going

I'm switching over there to work out some ideas I have for a new work.

This one will be in the speculative fiction space, so it's a bit of a departure for me.
