He is too stupid to keep his mouth shut. The problem is the courts are too cowardly to enforce their own gag orders.
"Please stop tweeting about the clerks and family members of the court." [He immediately tweets about the clerks and family members.] "Oh, ok, please have a 10 day extension and we'll give you a far lesser bond."
The won't give him the contempt of court charges he deserves. Acknowledging that at least allows them to make better decisions even if they aren't doing the right thing.
Fuck this two tiered justice bullshit.
If a small number of Repubs would vote for that it would probably pass also.
I'd be interested to see that file if you're still willing. IMO separating everything into their own containers is a positive.

What do you think billionaires are bribing congress for? Regulatory capture keeps all the competitors out. Whereas actually fixing the problem of social media brainwashing would cost them money.
I am more alienated by the processes surrounding everything. If I had to do idiotic agile sprint bullshit and also write mind-numbingly boring code I would lose my mind. Luckily I have gotten away with making improvements in architecture so it is at least an interesting problem on occasion.
It sounds like this author would feel better working on open source, a passion project, or a deep academic paper. I think I'd prefer that also. I wish it were easier to live while doing that.
