I just made big updates to my list of CGT Meetings: kyleburke.info/CGTMeetings.php
* Thanks to Koki Suetsugu, I added a bunch of links to Japanese CGT events that I was ignorant of.
* I added a bit more of an explanation up top as to what I consider "counts" for the list.
* I added an acronym legend up top.
There are a TON more meetings on there now. #CombinatorialGames

Charles Pierce says that "Trump folded like a cheap suit on tariffs:
"He 'paused' his proposed duties on goods from Canada and Mexico as soon as he got pushback—then celebrated his empty triumph."
Why?
"The U.S. stock market tanked, and global markets were thrown into such chaos that even The Wall Street Journal ran for the shelters."

Protesters’ Rights
The First Amendment protects your right to assemble and express your views through protest. However, police and other government officials are allowed to place certain narrow restrictions on the exercise of speech rights.American Civil Liberties Union
And you all already know not to talk to the police.
But really, do not *ever* talk to the police. Doesn't matter if you're innocent, acting lawfully, want to share your side of the story. Doesn't matter if your conversation is recorded. Do not. Ever.

People often feel the need to defend themselves when they're innocent, but this law school lecture just shows all the ways things can go wrong.

Notre-Dame de Bétharram est l'un des scandales pédocriminels les plus importants en France mais François Bayrou ne s'est jamais exprimé dessus. Il jure seulement ne jamais avoir été alerté. C'est faux.
Des documents et témoignages prouvent qu'il a été alerté et qu'il a même défendu l'institution catholique.

Viols sur mineurs à Bétharram : les mensonges de Bayrou pour défendre une institution catholique
Des prêtres et des surveillants du pensionnat Notre-Dame-de-Bétharram, près de Pau, sont visés par une centaine de plaintes. Malgré l’ampleur du scandale, François Bayrou, qui y a scolarisé ses enfants, jure qu’il ignorait tout.David Perrotin (Mediapart)
