I don’t think you can link directly to the document. When I click the link, it takes me back to the search field. You might want to throw it in Google Drive or something and share that way.

Is there anything we can do? Call the USAO’s office?

If he’s attempting to vacate his guilty plea, how does he not go back on trial for those charges?

That’s a relatively recent development…LOL

The DMV was terrible for quite a few years after I moved here. They lost a copy of my car title when I paid it off, which caused a months-long stand-off between the finance company and the DMV.

Was here for a year during the first term of the Shrub administration, and moved back towards the end of it. DC has always been a bit cyclical depending on who inhabited the White House. One restauranteur who’s had multiple places in DC told me that business was better during the Obama and Clinton administrations than when any Republican was in office.

Trump’s malignant brand of conservatism did change DC. In prior administrations, people could occasionally work in a bipartisan fashion. These America First MAGAts are an entirely different breed, and I shudder to think what will happen if we get Meatball Ron or any of his ilk in the White House.

From the fucking article:

> My partner and I could always open a Family Sharing iCloud, or a joint account that connects our devices. If we did that, I would unlock an option to cancel notifications for Rosie’s AirTag. We currently have separate accounts, though, and aren’t interested in fully merging our clouds.

It's not. It's all a massive wealth redistribution scam. They run these services at a loss using venture money and promising unrealistic compensation while they build scale. When faced with the end of venture subsidization of whatever "*disruption*" they're providing, they squeeze everybody a little bit, but workers the most. They can't afford to alienate too many customers if they want to walk away from that sweet, sweet IPO money, and workers have less power than anyone involved in the value chain.

I’d argue that someone who hasn’t seen it up close can’t really appreciate how bad it is for some people. Poor people in this area are relatively more affluent than those in many parts of the country. Parts of Alabama are seeing a resurgence of illnesses we largely eliminated through modern sanitation, and Mississippi’s largest city can’t keep the water flowing to its residents. People who haven’t been through those parts of the country, or Appalachia, or probably even some long-forgotten Rust Belt towns, haven’t experienced it. It’s a lot different when you have a poor (or poorly run) state with a ramshackle social safety net. A lot of people are poor here, but there are people living in desperate, abject poverty in other parts of the country…including some not far from here. It’s almost like we live in different countries than they do.
