So, finally about that 97-page brief that kicks off the appeal. It was filed by political appointees and not the career lawyers who would normally work at this level. (The same appointees who seemed fine with dismissal on last Monday.) That might account for the tone which is more "judges bad" and less "judges make mistakes."
My summary: "My Executive Orders always begin with a declaration of my personal animus behind this retaliation because I am governed by that and not the law. The courts are clearly wrong because you are not the boss of me. I can too revoke security clearances for this reason, because I'm pretty sure you told me so. Also, if I sic the DOJ on specific individuals I hate, that's not retaliation, that's just the DOJ doing law things. And it's unfair for the judges to stop me from kicking these bad, bad law firms out of court rooms and signed contracts because I didn't do that yet — just a written, signed order to do so. And if it helps to rule in my favor, you can ignore the part where I confessed this is all retaliation for political reasons and my hurt feelings."

Regarding the security clearance revocation, we have only the #DOJ brief, but it reads a bit more seriously than the rest. #snark #ExecutiveOrder #LawFirms #PerkinsCoie #JennerBlock #WilmerHale #WilmerCutler #SusmanGodfrey #Trump

"That came out yesterday! How is that news?!?!"
It's news to people who haven't seen it yet. That's how "news" works.
Stop me if this is too detailed for you.

We should never have let the AOL normies bridge to the internet.
I am all about recreating the exclusive anarchist underground invite-only internet of nerds, queers, freaks and outcasts of yore.
You only get to play with us if you can prove that you are devoted to culture jamming and dissembling the surveillance capitalism state.

I'm not an AI, but I can absolutely simplify "regex expressions" to just "regex" or "regular expressions," because otherwise, you're saying "regular expressions expressions." XD

Congrats to Simon McGarr @Tupp_ed for the best bit of snark so far about the disgraced Fianna Fáil presidential candidate #JimGavin. #Aras25
Simon's post at #TheGist https://www.thegist.ie/the-gist-jim-bows-out/ is an excellent, concise explainer of what happened and what comes next. But that's some fine #snark at #FiannaFail's presidential failure.

Sometimes I consult for large corporations
So Verizon’s new CEO sent me an email…
Where shall I begin?
First — You can’t simply reply. I get it. It’s hard to have a mailbox on the Internet these days. So many bounces, to deal with (I’m serious.)
Second — So when you go to drag-select, copy and paste that “[email protected]” email address, you discover it’s not what it seems.
Pasting into your email client’s “To” field, you actually create a list of multiple recipients: The first recipient is “s”, then the second is “sampath”, etc—none of which are the email address you meant to copy and paste. So you have to type it into your email client. Not a big deal, but probably enough to stop most people. If they really cared, they’d just give us an
<a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>and let us just click or touch it, et voila!
Okay, but why can’t we copy and paste? Because in the HTML source in their email, it’s actually:
If you can read HTML, you see there are HTML entities jammed in various places in that email address. I had to lookup the entity
‌— that’s a Zero Width Non-Joining space. Meaning it’s not visible (“zero-width”) and it’s job is to keep whatever is left and right from “joining”… in the sense that complex characters can join to make a glyph— For example: An ‘a’ and ‘e’ can join to make the single character ‘æ’ if your language supports that. (But, of course, English does not have any joining characters at all.) I’m confident this is just an artifact of their bulk-email-sending composer software; it’s common for such things to “defend” an email address in the middle of text from harvesting looking for emails. So this wasn’t maliciousness on Verizon’s part.Third — …but it’s ironic that, in a message that contains, “It’s not just better service — we are setting a new standard, beginning today,” I have to flip between windows as I retype that email address.
Fourth — Because I’m a level-39 nerd wizard, I do reply to these things. (I mean, I start a new email message addressed to that email address.) And because we (said wizards) are quick to anger and regular Internet users (ie, Sampath) are tasty with ketchup, I send things like this…
I’ll followup when I get my 17.5%.

I don’t often laugh out loud
But when I do, it usually because of some deeply nerdy, cutting snark. Like this:
As someone who has read thousands of academic papers, I’ll answer those questions as calmly as possible.
NO.

…and then it goes on, CAPSLOCKed, for several paragraphs. The only thing better than math-nerds, is when a math-nerd who is also a reason-nerd stomps on the vanilla-variety math-nerds. This stuff? This stuff makes the world a better place.

@servelan
🥥 Apologies to #Albania, Albanians, & you @servelan.
Edited version coming soon as I figure a way to say it more in the spirit of the #Fediverse, which I respect and strive to support.
PS: My intent was to make parts of the US sound backward, rather than casting shade on beautiful Albania nestled by the #Ionian & #Adriatic seas. If you're familiar with my toots, I traffick heavily in #snark, sarcasm, and bad taste. I'll be the first to admit that I'm NOT everyone's cup of tea. 🥥 -

This is not about #TheHuntingOfTheSnark, but about the religious background of the author of the #Snark tragicomedy.

Below you see probably the first reference in academia to my #Snark findings: "A Cross-Cultural History of Britain and Belgium, 1815-1918: Mudscapes and Artistic Entanglements" by #MarysaDemoor, Springer Nature, 2022-03-21.
Prof. Deemor used my findings without specifying her source.
