My cousin Michael was a Harvard law grad. About 10 years ago, he was falsely accused of rape. He was disbarred due to the allegations. He was never arrested. He was never charged with a crime. He was never convicted of a crime. For the past ten years, he has fought his way through the legal system and won at every turn, incurring tremendous amounts of legal bills along the way. This past summer, he won a civil case against the woman who falsely accused him. She was ordered to pay him ~6 million dollars, but she had no money, and he knew he would never see a cent of what the court determined he was owed. Even after this, the NY bar refused to reinstate him. He was not allowed to go back to work. Earlier this month, after ten years of fighting, winning, and still not being able to get back on his feet, he took his own life. I just found out. People who make false allegations, especially of a sexual nature, should have no place in society and should face consequences for the damages they cause. It’s not funny. It’s not cute. It’s not a story to laugh about with your friends. It’s not something to brag about on social media. It’s not a way to gain a following on social media or launch a podcast or write a book. It shouldn’t be a way to make a quick buck. It’s not acceptable. It’s a crime, and for the falsely accused, a crime that can have deadly consequences. There is no justice here. Rest in peace, Michael.

Video from France

During a vote next to the ballot box was Flavien Termet, a 20-year-old deputy from Le Pen's party.

When the left voted, they denied him a greeting and taunted him.

Those who talk about tolerance...

I wrote a response to a Hungarian immigrant who is living in Ireland and who is worried that Trump's second term could spell doom and gloom for Silicon Docks. I think this is an opportunity for Ireland's Tech Scene to grow stronger than ever.

What do you think?

At least she got to learn the lesson young and with relatively little money. And the lesson is that the Court of Public Opinion matters more than policy or law court.

Now someone needs to teach that girl about Bitcoin and to transaction her chicken sales in nothing but bitcoin.

Case Against Bill Gates in the Netherlands allowed to move forward
The court that will hear the case has ruled it has jurisdiction over Gates to hear the case

According to this Tweet, RFK Jr. has announced that BIll Gates has “been indicted in the Netherlands for lying to the public about the Covid vaccine.”

Blindspot has 2 sources for this story, one of which embeds a Tweet that has an image of a document which does not contain Gate's name in said image.

According to this link, there was a lawsuit against Gates that Gates had filed an objection to claiming htat he was not subject to the jurisdiction of the court where the suit has been brought. But the court has ruled that yes, in fact, they do have jurisdiction.

Will update the story as it develops.

On Voting

At 0630 this morning, the weather was in the high 60's, but the humidity made it feel warmer. The was a steady breeze and ths sun was out. If I didn't know any better, I'd think we were going to have a tornado.

I got to my polling place before 0800. The line was long but was moving at a fairly rapid pace. I was in line for less than half an hour and that was with the line all the way from deep inside the building, out to the back of a wide parking lot and then a right angle along the side of the much, much longer side of the parking lot.

The closer I got to the building, the more ominous the weather started looking. Thankfully, I made it inside and back out to my car before it started raining.

Based on what i witnessed locally, I think the turn out this election is going to be massive.

Giving a Paper

Problem Statement

I randomly picked out a topic to cover and present for one of my courses and, because the programs are rather mish-mash, I'm with the last year students (I'm a second year), I'm way out of my depth with the level of the topic. Being able to present a dense 40pg chapter is not my ballpark to be exact... the paper is also not in my native language and the presentation should be 10 minutes... I don't think there's an option to 'change' the topic, but tomorrow when I have lectures I'll ask my prof about approaching the topic. I still thought maybe some of you have advice on how to tackle dense papers/situations like this without getting completely strewn up in it.

My Solution

Give the talk in your native langauge. If the professor tries to fail you for your performance, call him a racist and threaten to sue the school if he does'nt give you an "A".
