Muskrat Coup: It’s Even Stupider Than You Think

arkady2025-02-05Law Politics

Just when you thought it might be safe to read the news again, Musk & His Minions are bringing a whole new (stupid) angle to modern coups. Yes, this coup has A.I. (No, no it doesn’t but play along for…

Press Pause: Shut It All Down For A While

arkady2025-02-04Law Politics

Sometimes, it’s a choice between a (relatively) small disruption now versus a complete collapse later. This is especially the case when a system is already compromised. If an attacker is already “in your base killing your dudes” it can often cause…

Power: Yeah, Baby, He’s Got It

arkady2025-02-03Law Politics

It took 2 weeks for Musk to consolidate direct control over the core functions of the U.S. government and start deploying them for his own purposes. That was quick. So, Musk and His Minions (TM) now directly control the functions…

Well Actually: Just Use the ‘C’ Word

arkady2025-01-31Law Politics

No, although those are good guesses. Except ‘colander’; I have no idea what you were thinking with that one. It’s ‘coup’. It’s being reported that Musk’s personal staff have taken direct control of multiple federal offices and computer systems, locking…

arkady2024-02-08Law Politics

That’s Me In The Corner: Privileging My Religion

arkady2023-06-05Law

Well, not me; I don’t have a religion. But a lot of people do. And a lot of them think that means they should get special consideration from the law. They shouldn’t. Today’s example: California bill would allow Sikh motorcyclists…

Be Sensible: It’s Not Self-Defence If You Started It

arkady2023-04-24Law

I have talked about self-defense before (They’re Comin’ Right For Us: Fixing Self-Defense); in that one, I argued that you should have to be correct about being threatened. It’s not enough to “feel” threatened. Your feelings are not more important…

Legal Zombies: Laws Should Not Come Back From The Dead

arkady2023-04-17Law

When the courts declare a law to be unconstitutional, it should actually be removed from the books. It shouldn’t just be ignored. If I understand correctly, the actual term is “unenforceable”, but it’s the same thing. The courts will ignore…
