6th Cir. holds that the district court's sentence of 30 days for Sen. Paul's attacker, Rene Boucher, was substantively unreasonable.

Panel notes the district court varied downward, in part, by relying on Boucher's privilege, which is not allowed. opn.ca6.uscourts.gov/opinions.pdf/1…
Here's the part about the court impermissibly relying on Boucher's privileges to give him a below-guidelines sentence.
The court repeatedly refers to this as a "mine-run case," signaling the district court that it expects a guidelines range sentence or a damn good explanation why there isn't.

Fed. judge denies Ohio's motion to dismiss a lawsuit challenging Ohio policy forbidding trans people from changing the sex listed on their birth certificates.

Judge holds plaintiffs have pleaded a due process violation. assets.documentcloud.org/documents/6403…
At the moment, Ohio is one of only two states (Tennessee is the other; Kansas was one until recently) who refuse to allow trans folk to change their birth certificates to match their gender identities.
The court found Ohio's justification that birth certificates of trans people could not be changed in the name of historical accuracy unpersuasive because the state regularly changes birth certs for adopted children and in other contexts (court orders).

VA Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax is suing CBS for defamation in broadcast interviews with Fairfax's sexual assault accusers.

A copy of the complaint can be found here: dailypress.com/government/vir…
This has an interesting twist. Fairfax says he can show actual malice because he has a friend at CBS who is an associate general counsel who had knowledge of falsity *because they're friends who talked about it.*
In Fairfax's version, one of the sexual encounters was consensual and had an eyewitness because they did it with the eyewitness in the room.

(I get that this happens in dorms/frat houses. Still. Ugh.)

Of note the eyewitness knows the CBS AGC.

This still isn't a motion to withdraw his plea.

And most of the things detailed here (Russia? FARA?) have nothing to do with his plea to lying to the FBI even though Judge Sullivan kept reminding his lawyer that Brady material has to be relevant to the specific charge.
Rather than reverse his plea, Flynn's latest legal moves seem more likely to have been made with the purpose of preserving his post-conviction prospects of grifting off of Trump followers.

That's why he's making this about Mueller rather than his conceded lies to the FBI.
The degree to which Trump followers have adopted the "gee, Mike Flynn, general, and former National Security Advisor and former director of Defense Intelligence Agency, was just an babe in the woods who unknowingly pleaded guilty for lying to the FBI" idea always makes me laugh.

Brisante E-Mail des früheren Referatsleiters für Rechtsextremismus im Amt für Verfassungsschutz #Thüringen, über die heute @TAOnline berichtet. Auch uns @AfD_Thueringen wurde die Mail zugeschickt. Einige Anmerkungen dazu: (Thread)

thueringer-allgemeine.de/politik/streit…
Das u.a. für "Auswertung Rechtsextremismus" zuständige Fachreferat 52 soll VS-Chef Kramer bei Prüfung einzelner #AfD-bezogener Sachverhalte "bewusst außen vor gelassen" haben. Später soll er eine Einbindung ausdrücklich untersagt haben. "In höchstem Maße ungewöhnlich". (2/…)
Auch die öffentlichkeitswirksame Verkündung des "Prüffalls #AfD" soll entgegen der ausdrücklichen Empfehlung der Fachleute im zuständigen Referat 52 erfolgt sein. Noch 2 Tage vor der PK soll auch die Stabsstelle Controlling von der öffentlichen Verkündung abgeraten haben. (3/…)

l'Italia, lo sappiamo, ha il duplice problema di avere un alto debito e di dover sostenere alti costi (spread) per rifinanziarlo. È normale che si cerchino sempre nuovi modi di renderlo più gestibile, ma più leggo i dettagli dei #CIR più mi ritrovo perplesso. Thread ->
Se fossero pensati per ridurre il costo del debito allargando la base di possibili sottoscrittori sarei più benevolo nel valutare lo strumento, ma da quanto trapela l'idea è di dare rendimenti più alti e fiscalità agevolata per chi sottoscrive e detiene titoli emessi ->
In apposite aste. Che cosa ci dice rispetto alla volontà implicita del Tesoro? Si pagano maggiori rendimenti con minore ritorno fiscale per lo Stato in cambio di... un sottoscrittore più benevolo e meno preparato rispetto ad un investitore professionale nel valutare la qualità ->

Bon vue que c'est bientôt la fin de semaine, on reprend le thread sur mon sujet !!! #thèsolie
#thread #bioinformatique #assemblage
Je vous avez laissé avec quelque notions important, que je vais rappelé rapidement :

- Le séquençage c'est ce qui permet de lire la séquence ADN, mais on ne peut lire que des petits morceaux et on sais pas ou on lis du coup on est un peut embêté pour comprendre ce qu'on a lue
- L'assemblage c'est l'étape algorithmique qui vas permettre de reconstruire la séquence d'ADN d'origine a partir des morceaux qu'on a lue. On fais sa parce que les morceaux partage des séquences communes, sa s'appel des overlaps. Pour sa on utilise un graph d'assemblage

Bon aller je ne me suis pas encore présenté sur #thésolie et je crois bien être une des dernières a ne pas l'avoir fait donc c'est partie. Je suis une thèse en bioinformatique, non la bioinformatique c'est pas faire de l'informatique avec de la biologie c'est l'inverse !
On peut résumer sa: a l'ensemble des outils mathématiques, statistiques et informatiques pour la biologie. Vous pouvez lire cette page bioinfo-fr.net/aux-origines-d… ou celle-ci fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bio-infor… pour plus d'information !
C'est un domaine très large mais je vais parler que du miens l'assemblage des génomes. Et non désoler c'est pas mélanger des bouts de génome comme dans jurasic park . #gifAvecLiensTénu

Cool, j'ai un exposé à faire sur un article de Virginie Julliard : #ThéorieDuGenre : comment débat-on du genre sur Twitter ?
Fun car ce sont mes binômes qui ont choisi le sujet et que ça tombe direct dans mes intérêts. Je vais faire un LT, ça me servira de notes !
Hypothèse du papier : Twitter produit un débat spécifique, en raison de ses propriétés & de la manière dont les utilisateurs s'en saisissent
