I feel like a lot of corporate end-times staffing (not just Twitter) looks like this: some paper pusher sees what “all hands on deck” looks like in an emergency and thinks, “what the hell, why aren’t they working like that all the time.”
This doofus then comes to the conclusion that the correct way to proceed is to fire half the staff, because that’s all you need to get the work done, and they’ll just work like it’s all hands on deck all the time.
There are two problems with this.
1. Everyone burns out.
and
2. When you get a *real* “all hands on deck” situation, you don’t have the staff to cover it.
You are *supposed* to have slack in your staffing, and if you do not, you are understaffed.

This is what happens when you can’t terrorize your law clerks by saying that they should have just gone into medicine, because that way they would have just killed people.
Imagine spending thirty years of your life on the federal bench, worried that everyone would think you were an idiot if you had a single misspelling in an email to the circuit, only to lose your law clerks and trumpet it to the entire world.
I’m skimming the brief and I really feel like one question is “how can Biden’s remarks in July of 2021 be a direct cause of Trump’s account getting suspended in January of 2021.”
This now sounds like both a problem with him misappropriating Tesla resources to Twitter and also a labor law problem because it’s illegal to not pay people.
Elon two days ago: Tesla runs with just 300 engineers, we are very lean, that’s how we maintain our dominance (and also our culture of deeply engrained racism)
Elon today: no no 50 engineers? A drop in the bucket. Absolutely nothing.
Just remember, AK believed that heterosexual people couldn’t get AIDS, that the global warming scare was a result of people only taking temperatures in cities, and that pedophiles never targeted actual kids online, they were only the victims of sting operations.
He only occasionally mentioned these beliefs in federal court because usually he’d say something completely bonkers in chambers and then we’d have to get Donna to sit on him so he wouldn’t air his wild shit in public.
For years, I firmly, FIRMLY believed that judicial ethics required a clerk to do their utmost to keep their judge from public embarrassment, even if that judge was in fact a public embarrassment.
As someone who took the “going hardcore” clerkship on the theory that I was strong and could take it, let me say that it taught me the worst work habits of my life and permanently impacted multiple spheres of my life.
The thing you learn in that kind of environment is how to lie to the boss.
also whatever money you make from it you’re going to spend in therapy for the next decade
Just FYI: the thing that backstops my reaction to the bill is this: it is supposed to be repealing DOMA, which said that states did not have to apply full faith & credit to marriage decisions.
Depending on how you read the full faith & credit clause, this portion of DOMA was one of two things:
* unnecessary (states could decide not to honor other states marriage rules on the basis of moral objection)
or
* unconstitutional
(I guess the third thing was this: a constitutional exercise of one of Congress’s powers.)
