Stream Cancelled.
There will be no Disgaea stream tonight. I had skin cancer surgery and suffered my third flat tire in 30 odd days. I'm beat. There MAY be a Zomboid collaboration stream around 10PM EST / 02:00 UTC but that depends on my pain level.
The surgery went OK but I won't know if they got all of it for about 2 weeks. I was both relieved and concerned that the dermatologist did not waste time with a biopsy and just cut it off.

I hope everything goes well for you on your surgery. My step-father ignored a skin cancer for years. It didn't end well, but cancer treatment has advanced by leaps and bounds since then.

Say, does anyone have access to Wonderduck's blog? It needs a spam purge and to be locked down.

No Trial Necessary
I mentioned in an earlier video that the Democrats risk 'crossing the Rubicon' with their bringing charges against Trump's lawyers.
Well, they're crossed it, are burning the bridge, and assembling their phalanxes.
'Cause they don't need no stinkin' trials.
I don't have ANY problem with an investigation, and if there is enough evidence, a trial and prosecution. I believe in equal protection under the law and I part ways with some of my fellow righties in that I don't think that running for president puts you above the law. I DO think that one must have ALL of one's ducks in a row if you DO bring charges against a presidential front runner. One of those of those metaphorical "ducks" is the basic right in our system to a trial by jury.
Heavy concentrations of carbon dioxide in the salty Tara Regio region, where the surface ice has been disrupted, suggest the carbon originated deep in the ocean. This suggests a similarity with Earth's deep-sea hydrothermal vent systems, where life on Earth may have originated, Scientific American reported.
It's interesting (and impressive) that this was discovered by the James Webb Telescope, and missed by the Juno and the previous probes in the Jovian System.

How did your face thing go? My dad has had a lot of little melanomas taken off his face, but no bigger ones.
The one most recent surgeon my dad has used has a new toy, where he and his tiny robot can remove skin or flesh, layer by layer while looking through a microscope, so that he can biopsy as he goes. And when he gets to the layer under the problem, he stops. Which is basically right up there with jet packs...especially since he does it in his office.
But I think not many skin doctors/surgeons have that yet. It is usually just cut off or freeze off, and that works too.

This is the day that we remember the 3,000 civilians who died in an act of unspeakable terror, made possible by gross governmental negligence and which was used to justify a complete re-orientation of our national priorities and drive us into a cultural, economic, human rights, and military quagmire.
The immense potential that the 20th century held has thus far not been realized aside from the dystopian visions of some sci-fi writers and the Cassandra-like warnings of Solzhenitsyn.
It should forever be a reminder of the importance of vigilance, and the dangers of Government overreach.
Dershowitz, who is quite emphatically not a Trump supporter, points out the very troubling overreach of of the never Trump lawfare. In going after the lawyers, the Dems are crossing a Rubicon.
No one who crosses the Left will be able to get legal representation if this stands.
Contrary to many who assume these people are stupid and can't process the conditional hypothetical of the shoe being on the other foot, they are NOT stupid. The Left understands the concept of reciprocity perfectly well. They don't expect they will face reciprocity... because they don't plan to ever be out of power....They're going for the brass ring.

Nah, they crossed that particular case of river earlier. Yale or Harvard pulled together a letter that they got signed by something 3/4 of law school heads, on January 12th 2021, epousing the novel legal theory that rather than representing their clients, lawyers had a professional responsibility to refuse to take certain cases and represent certain clients.
Note, the timing on this might have been tight for a genuine response to January 6th.
The ABA credentials all the law schools, and the law faculty have failed to understand the extent to which public buy in to the legal system relies on the legal system's ability to persuade that it resolves disputes fairly.
The letter was a clear signal both of will to power nonsense beliefs, and to GOPe faculty eagerness to sell out voters for the sake of getting Trump out of their business.
It discredited not only the idea of settling the current insanity by electoral process, but also by the legal process. The insane ones have calculated that they have cut off our every path to remedy, except the ones that they intend to trap us with. They miscalculate this badly, as they miscalculate almost all of their behavior forecasts.
The universities have now been a venue for killing at least two professional schools, medicine and law. There is little reason to hope that they will not soon kill any remaining value left in academic training. This frees our hand.
We need merely remain firm in reiterating the following argument: Faculty have purported themselves able to curate which arguments get brought before the courts. If this is true, the precedent going back decades may no longer be binding as having not been corruptly decided, and the courts cannot purport to be acting fairly as agents of the public. In such case, there is no reason to have schools of law. If there is any purpose in law, lawyers, and schools of law, then these faculty have made an untrue statement. Therefore, they must retract the statement, and resign.
It may persuade sufficient people to correct this injustice. If they close their ears, we still have a paper trail.
