Am going to one of the Rush MSG shows. I don't want a sit in. Only way it would possibly work is on a cover of something like a Cream song (which Rush has done, albeit without guests). Trey is just too sloppy/unrehearsed these days, even on his own material.
And the "acting" chair McDonald is the general counsel of the agency, and nominally in charge of mandatory Federal Records Act training for all employees, lol. He was only nominated to be the actual chair after his acting term expired under the vacancies act. Should be a fun confirmation.
Applicable because litigation was reasonably foreseeable and because the Federal Records Act independently imposes a preservation obligation on all government employees. They asked the judge to draw an "adverse inference" against the government as a sanction.
The case seems close to a resolution, at least at the district court level. In the past two weeks the plaintiffs filed a motion for summary judgment as well as one for spoliation (sanctions for destruction of evidence): www.courtlistener.com/docket/70035...
If your witness is being questioned about his meetings with counsel, I was taught you generally want to object before you are a dozen questions in.
The government is dealing with very bad facts. Hopefully that will matter.
From the few I have listened to, the DOJ lawyer representing the agency and DOGE witnesses is not very good.
somebody i know met the fascist NEH head McDonald at a DC event not long ago &, knowing nothing abt academia or how it works (I do not at all fault for that!), told him about me & my wife’s work and then texted me this. “30k grants for interesting projects” are the gifts he could bestow at parties
Susan's mom was watching their kids around side stage, lol.
Saw something very close to that circa 2007-2008 at the Birchmere: DTB and STB, alone and together. Very cool.
I loved the classic DTB. Caught them several times.
Then the next night was the start of a truly discouraging GD run over in Landover. Sigh.
That was a great show. Don't think it was even sold out.
I was at one of the other Walfredo mentions. When Fish tried to ruin their set.
No sit in that night?
2 of my bottom 5 are pre 1992, which is bullshit.
Shakes the Clown
What's a movie you genuinely enjoy that's known for being bad?
Shakes the Clown (1991)
I also watched in horror as they abused a perfectly good “cheap” guitar.
HPL (high pressure laminate) rosewood, lol. Good beach guitar as they say.
Anything that'll get Gene Simmons riled.

Honestly I need historians to be the plaintiffs in every case I cover because if they make it to discovery you just KNOW those primary sources are going public.
Exhibit A: The American Historical Association uploading video depos of the DOGE bros to YouTube.

Glad that the litigation is helping to build the factual record. This happened throughout the exec branch.
