The Model Rules explicitly disallow the type of defense she’s posing, I.e. “my boss told me it was OK!” She knows this, so she’s attempting to shift to a defense of innocent negligence (lack of diligence), rather than willful violations of law and ethics rules. Which, given she’s just agreed to be convicted of a crime or crimes, is going to be a tough defense to put up.

I believe Colorado will start separate bar/ethics proceedings now that’s she’s been newly convicted of a crime. She was not convicted when the CO Bar originally censured her, though the subject of the censure is largely the same.

TL;DR: She’s chock full of shit and hopes the CO Bar is going to punish her for a lack of diligence (which might be a lesser punishment) than for intentionally attempting to subvert an election.

I’m not defending the other guy, but what’s wrong with kbin?

Hopefully!

They should. Send Abbott a bill for polluting their waterway too, while they’re at it.

OK, but I’d rather see it run Doom

Fuck Spez, haven’t been back since Apollo died.

NOOOOOOO

Glad she’s going to a good home

If so, that’s on him. Fuck u/Spez!

Far less than you’d imagine, and it certainly wasn’t modded that way.

And guillotine-pilled

One possible exception to that, at least so far, seems to be r/nfl. It’s a behemoth on Reddit, but it seems like few made the jump to the fediverse, sadly.

I agree that this post is dumb, but why is Reddit now trying to bury it? Has the OP of that thread been getting blasted in the comments?

Write something at first; maybe use one of your partial ideas and really concentrate on making something small, but good. Now, put that away somewhere out of the way, but still accessible.

Now, write something else entirely. Maybe another small project. Keep going. Write more. Do a little writing each day, and in between, read stuff written for different audiences. Read MLK’s “Letters from a Birmingham Jail.” Read some sci-fi. Read a comic book. Read a boring, dry report about something. Absorb, then write again.

Now, after a month or so, maybe two, pull out the first thing you wrote. It will give you a good gauge of the progress you’ve made. And you might hate what you wrote, and that’s OK, as long as you realize that the first thing you wrote is the floor, and you’re only going to get better from that point on. Finally, plan! Sometimes creative genius can come out of the ether, but it’s best to plan and not rely on that happening. Give yourself a destination and rough idea of how you’ll get there. Then let the wind take you.

Best of luck, and enjoy!

If you’re looking for podcasts, and you know the ones you are looking for, many have RSS feeds you can subscribe to. I don’t know if there is an open-source podcast player with discovery features, but there might be?

Did they take any money? Genuinely asking, hadn’t heard they did…

What’s the battery life like, if I may ask?

The ABA is not in charge of attorney discipline in specific jurisdictions. They publish model rules of professional conduct, and accredit law schools, and some other stuff. But the California Bar is in charge of this particular disciplinary proceeding.

Putin (and/or his plane) have left Moscow. Hmmmm

I love Phoenix - I lived there for 10 years and left in 2019 - but it isn’t all roses. Housing prices and cost of living are up, and the whole water situation scares me a little bit. Miss late night Filibertos though, tbh
