Isn’t this related to a proposed deal that Paramount needs SEC approval on? That only makes it worse, I know. But when it seems to make no sense, Follow the Money.

Using A I overview. Reader be leery.
Paramount’s controlling shareholder, Shari Redstone, struck a two-step deal in July to sell her stake in the Hollywood studio as part of the deal with David Ellison’s Skydance, a streaming-era upstart. The companies are awaiting regulatory approval for the deal to close.Apr 7, 2025strong text
Yep. Also related to the Trump lawsuit vs CBS.

Mine is in. I think the only Ivy League holdout now is Dartmouth.
Could go in a few threads, but putting it here.
Wow. I don’t have any other words. I’ll copy a little more of the article …
“I have a buddy who’s former federal law enforcement and is now a lawyer. So I called him and asked him if federal agencies have the technological capability to shut someone’s Wifi down without them knowing, and if that’s something they do. And he said ‘Hell yes.’ He said they do it all the time when they want to have an informal interview with somebody and don’t want to be recorded.”
People I spoke to who have expertise in these matters said (a) it would not be difficult to shut down someone’s Wifi, and (b) doing so without a court order would be illegal.
Jackson isn’t an immigration attorney, but he occasionally represents undocumented people in non-immigration matters. He is using his real name, but he asked that I not name his employer or describe the type of law he practices.
“I thought, shit, now I’m going to have to get my employer involved. I’m going to have retain my own attorney. And now I have to worry about my clients. If they’re investigating me, are they going to start looking into my clients, too?”
Pay Trump millions, get a VIP tour of the White House
How much do you think it would cost to buy one of the fingers from the Lincoln Memorial? I mean if Trump sold off all the pieces then he could get rid of that loser that didn’t dodge his assassin’s bullet and put a golden Trump statue in its place.
Give him a billion and become the new head of DOGE?

I’m not surprised by this, because cell phone jammers are extremely illegal if you just go use one in public. I’d imagine wifi is jammed by similar if not the same technology.
I’d also be unsurprised if ICE is using them without warrants, because how are you going to prove that your wifi being bad for 15 minutes was their fault after they drive away with the jammer?
It’s not the jamming I’d be worried about . . . it’s the ability to intercept it w/o your knowledge of it that I’d be more concerned about.
Looks like Trump and his cronies are now trying to make probationary periods even more probationary than they currently are.
Funny how he stated one of his goals is to end weaponization of the government.

I guess this can go in several different threads, but I’ll post here:

Also, it is well-known that science is always biased against people who don’t understand it. Mathematics is the same way.

And so he is delivering. As soon as we neutralize those bad, bad, really bad men and all those nasty women…we will have peace in the valley.
WaPo has the story too, but this is paywall free: Ed Martin’s next target is Wikipedia.
Pushback from law students: Law students don’t want to work for firms that have caved to Trump, and are sharing a spreadsheet tracking how the big firms are doing. People are turning down big offers or declining interviews, and the firms have noticed. One of the biggest firms that caved to Trump had to cancel a recruiting session at Georgetown because of it.
